Red Bull is indeed under pressure. The RB20 is not the RB19, or even the RB18. On any given weekend, Ferrari, McLaren, or Mercedes are showing they are faster. But this is showing how elite Max is. He dragged that RB20 to victory in Spain. He made the moves he needed to when he needed to and no one else on the grid could have done it. Checo is a good driver, and the fact he's struggling so much with the RB20 and Max is having to scratch his way to victories shows how it's clearly not up to past Red Bull standards. Max is an all-time talent behind the wheel.
Vassseur hangs his opinion on the wind as he does with everything else because one has to keep smiling and grinning and making clear to everyone that it is all not important as long as everyone is ghappeeee.
despite the loud commentary after the last pit stops Max was always going to win evem though Lando was eating into the lead. One of the major takeaways from Spain for me was that Redbull and McLaren are the class of the field. Max was 19 seconds ahead or the 3rd car and 22 over the Ferrari. And while McLaren has caught up in terms of pace, they are yet to learn the craft to turning opportunity into victories like the seasoned Red Bull.
I wonder if RBR is using engine mapping as a sort of traction control for launching the car in the first two or three gears, because Max's launches are so consistent.
Something seems wrong with the editing of the podcast on Spotify. I haven't listened on TH-cam, but it's so annoying on Spotify. Bits get repeated and bits get forwarded I guess. I don't think it's my phone, but any confirmation from you would be helpful
We've forgotten how good max is when he is chasing a position rather than defending. He has imo developed great defending in the last two years. So even if lando had got a better start I think verstappen would have hunted him and got the first position
What’s up with Hamilton’s starts though? He’s lucky Leclerc couldn’t stay ahead. Oh & Vcarb, did they fix their starts with this “upgrade”? Idk how many races I’d see both drivers drop 2 to 4 places. Was distracted by Russell and forgot to take notice in Spain.😅
What this tells me is classic of formula 1. The ruleset stabilises and the field tightens just in time for another pointless fucking rule change. Sure change the engine rules and leave the chassis alone.
11:02 Norris was not harsh on himself and this was not the RB being better at starts. Norris got wheelspin in 2nd or 3rd gear which is why he was self-critical.
Mate…. Just say it… MClaren the faster car in the race. Certainly in free air. Lando should have won like some other races. Max pulled it off again in great fashion. Lando got DOTD. Great….🤷🏻♂️😳
DOTD is only cos he has been posting on his socials that he wants his fanbase to vote him DOTD at every race…….for a bet…. I’m not kidding, he posted that on his socials like IG stories in Montreal!
Norris no match for Verstappen , Brit’s can big him up with his Belgian mother , but daddy’s money won’t buy a title . Sure Norris will pick up a few lucky wins like Miami but no title .
Delusional. How they can threat if Lando just binning back to back wins because of his dumb strategies. Also, he didn't dispatch George during first stint. Just Lando plays checkers, Max - chess.
crofty and the likes makes it so satisfying to listen to the Dutch National Anthem especially when you have the Brits starting on pole and the second row of the grid. way to go Max
Mclaren didn’t threaten anyone😂. They strategize for track position instead of wins🤣. At best they’ll win if they lucky with safety car again, or a max DNF. Other than that they’re not a team worthy to fight RB.
Very revealing 4:50 Norris or Verstappen whoever came out first won the race. Sounds like the winner won the race!!! Now isn’t that remarkable. Was RB under threat? Absolutely! Did Max lose the race? NO… but he has to watch out next time, next race, next possibility, you never know - it could be the other way round, Ab so lute ly. … we hope.
I think Mclaren/Lando is better than Red Bull but not better than Max when it comes to peformance. Max drives around the RB20's disadvantages but there will be races that the disadvantage from the RB20 will get the upperhand. that will be the moment that Lando or another competitor will strike.
In bumps Kerbs street circuits so it meant in September in Baku and Singapore untill then Max and Red bull have big lead especially in WDC even WCC if Perez start drive more consistent in the front
“Gung ho Sergio type move”?! Oh please! Just because a move didn’t work doesn’t mean it was foolish. I was so dumbstruck when someone like Ben Anderson talks like that! George was fortunate that Lando gave in or else that move would’ve ended in the exact same way!! It’s one thing to criticise a driver, quite another to just bash him on every possible occasion. My god…
The hell these British media outlets are on about. UK boy got the fastest car and still couldn't defeat Max. And the gap, he had 5 seconds gap to cut down, afterax was nursing issue with downshifts and not so stable rear, couldn't even get in DRS window. That the level Max has achieved. All these new Pole specialist doesn't stand a chance against Max race pace. Get Lewis and Fernando McLaren car, and see the difference, they would atleast put up a fight on track if they have the fastest car. What a joke this podcast is for a coverup of could have , would have, should have. A Yoke!!!
Obviously optimistic because Russel said: “We deaffenetively are going to WIN RACES this year!!” So… ok… if not… most surely maybe next year or …. Obviously absolutely in the near future optimistically …. Something. Oh dear… oh dear… the Race is having a hard tsime.
Im not worried about Lando, its easy to forget how often Max starts on pole and has the benefit of clean air for most of the races. Lando handles pressure well so im sure he will figure it out.
Really! How's losing despite having the quicker car threatening?? 5 races with the best car but just 1 win, that too from a lucky free pitstop. You call it threating but the results say they're losing terribly & the numbers don't lie.
McLaren absolutely have not had the fastest car over the past 5 races, and while they might have had this weekend, it was marginal. It's threatening cause they managed to maintain performance and challenge Redbull on various different tracks. This is the closest anyone has been to Redbull in the current regs.
@@MAVIE95 Sorry but when you get an opportunity after trying for so long one should take full advantage of it, not "threaten". Coming close instead of winning despite having the best car is nothing to write home about. F1 is the height of motor racing, going gaga over a losing car is mediocrity.

Of course they will be a threat when Mclaren have more CFD wind tunnel time and when we have the budget cap

“How Max won the Spanish GP”
We've forgotten how good max is when he is chasing a position rather than defending. He has imo developed great defending in the last two years. So even if lando had got a better start I think verstappen would have hunted him and got the first position
Yeah, it’s easier to tell how quick Max is when he’s chasing someone.
What’s up with Hamilton’s starts though? He’s lucky Leclerc couldn’t stay ahead.
Oh & Vcarb, did they fix their starts with this “upgrade”? Idk how many races I’d see both drivers drop 2 to 4 places.
Was distracted by Russell and forgot to take notice in Spain.😅
If Norris would have been ahead all the race he would have won 😅. No shit Sherlock.
Lol
It was great race and great podcast

And is Mercedes, being 3 tenths off the winner, not far off in quality??
11:02 Norris was not harsh on himself and this was not the RB being better at starts. Norris got wheelspin in 2nd or 3rd gear which is why he was self-critical.
Lol
Well, it was McLaren under pressure from Red Bull because they have a faster car at the moment.
lando : i have the best car!
max : nah i'd win
Mate…. Just say it… MClaren the faster car in the race. Certainly in free air. Lando should have won like some other races. Max pulled it off again in great fashion. Lando got DOTD. Great….🤷🏻♂️😳
Nope, Lando shouldn’t have won…. HE COULD’ve won
DOTD is only cos he has been posting on his socials that he wants his fanbase to vote him DOTD at every race…….for a bet….
I’m not kidding, he posted that on his socials like IG stories in Montreal!
Why do you care so much about DOTD? It literally doesn't matter at all.
Norris no match for Verstappen , Brit’s can big him up with his Belgian mother , but daddy’s money won’t buy a title . Sure Norris will pick up a few lucky wins like Miami but no title .
2024 McLaren became 2022 Ferrari
Delusional. How they can threat if Lando just binning back to back wins because of his dumb strategies. Also, he didn't dispatch George during first stint. Just Lando plays checkers, Max - chess.
The title of this Video will be how Mclaren with the best car lost the win and Lando bottled the win with the best car against Max again🤫🤔😏🙎♂️ LOl
They let them use DRS on lap 2 because Max was so dominant in the first two laps. Now Max is using it against them.
crofty and the likes makes it so satisfying to listen to the Dutch National Anthem especially when you have the Brits starting on pole and the second row of the grid. way to go Max
Worth mentioning the pitstops, redbulls 1.9 second vs McLarens had a big impact on victory
BOTH Pit stops.
Nope Max had 2.8sec pitstop too!
@@nestorlarez336Max had 2.8pitstop too!
@@Redlingstein yeah but 3.6 hurt lando a lot
@@Redlingsteinyea but Lando’s was at a critical point in the race. Without that he would’ve never lost time fighting George either
A much better trio for this week’s podcast.
