@@johnnymotubatse4707how is that in any way comparable?😂 Lewis had such a lead that he could do the last couple of meters with a blown tyre and finish just in time.
Verstappen if the information is correct wasn't angry because of the DNF but because the team attempted to do a pitstop while his right rear was on fire. Both for safety of the team members and to minimize damage to the car. He was actually very calm and collected and even praised Red Bull for the fact this was the first DNF in two years.
Ferrari's decision to break what is clearly a winning team of drivers, is still boggling my mind. It's just totally against the natural order. Carlos's untimely departure is going to haunt Tifosi for years to come. I really wish him all of the best.
I've been thinking the same thing since they announced it, Carlos and Charles are a very strong pair that they could have had for many years to come. Seems like the Ferrari CEO just wanting the marketing boost of signing Hamilton, in spite of the long term strategic consequences.
sergio perez got significant damage to his floor after passing alonso, and 3 place grid drop affected hin to fight for the podium or even the win. Dont know why the team didnt tell him during the race.
No no no.. we don't care about facts here.. We just want to say things like "hE wAs waAaAy oFf tHe PaCe tHIs wEekEnD!", because you know, he actually qualified P3 and would probably have won from there without getting floor damage..
Despite only completing 3 laps, Max proved his incredible talent by easily taking the lead with his right rear brake, locked on!!! In the post race interviews, Max handled his obvious disappointment like a true Champion.
As a McLaren fan I can only say how pleased I was to see Carlos Sainz winning. Especially following his appendectomy. Brilliant, well deserved and heartening.
Is Sainz the better Ferrari driver or are him and Leclare equal pegging. Saint is more consistent, reliable and aggressive with moves. Leclare has that bit of extra push but prone to errors. I think that equals them out.
Charles has got that raw pace and more marketing value than Sainz, but is very prone to errors and tends to crack under pressure. Sainz on the other hand is a very calm and collected driver who doesn't excel in Qualy, but therefore is a very strong sunday driver. He also has the guts to resist Ferrari's strategies mid-race, unlike Leclerc and that often paid off as well, e.g. his maiden victoy in Silverstone 2 years ago.
Sainz isn't more consistent than Charles, as he managed to finish 2023 behind Charles despite scoring a win and having less DNFs or races without points compared to Charles. However, Sainz makes better use of his talent and skill, while Leclerc is faster but doesn't fulfill his potential.
@@giuseppemaggio5894 That’s debatable, but I think Max had a very big chance to win the GP. Max has often shown that he has a much better race pace than Perez. Perez tries to cover himself because he had a bad race..
Perez is generally 3 tenths off Verstappen's pace. I think it could've been close, but in no way it'd have a walk in the park for Sainz to win@giuseppemaggio5894
@@giuseppemaggio5894 Lol of course Perez says that after he again failed to deliver. I would bet my left nut that Max would have won the race. And from his coments Sainz was confident he could have fought with Max but not necessarily that he could have beaten him without the break issue. Looking at all the data from the weekend it still would have been most likely that Max would have won the race...after all he was in front after turn one and was only in drs range after he lost a whole second in one corner which was probably due to the break issue.
I have to say this - when Sainz leaves Ferrari, so will my interest in them. He and Leclerc were such a great duo and I'm sad to see it gone. I'll still support Leclerc, though, but only him. Piastri keeps growing in my eyes. Kid is a team player and I hope that McLaren and Norris will return him a favor when he needs it. Haas's drivers are also a positive surprise. Hulkenberg is as good as ever while Magnussen seems to be on top form again (something which he didn't have for years). I'm curious to see how their season will go. Vowles made the right call. I'm glad to see that he's not afraid to be ruthless. Some will keep saying that it is unfair towards Sargeant but he is clearly inferior of the two drivers and wouldn't have done as well as Albon. It's just a shame that he didn't get points in the end. People need to stop dunking on Alpine because Kick Stake Sauber Whatever is THE worst team on the grid by far. They're a complete mess, new boss so far brought nothing new, one driver has good will but lacks skill while other doesn't give a shit anymore. If I were Audi, I would be very worried about this situation.
@@littlejosh2 *sigh* It's not that I dislike him, it's that I think that Ferrari signing him is not a good idea. I can see why Hamilton would want to go there but not vice versa.
As a Max fan, I'd like a Max-Carlos team-up again. On one hand, Red Bull has a big junior programme, but Tsunoda and Lawson probably aren't there yet and Ricciardo isn't there anymore, let alone Hadjar or Martí. And Carlos is from Toro Rosso as well, so it still kind of counts as using your own talents.
Helmut Marko has played down rumours of a move for Carlos Sainz, claiming the outgoing Ferrari driver will want his future resolved before Red Bull decide on Max Verstappen’s team-mate for F1 2025. and believes Red Bull’s timeline will not align with that of Sainz, claiming the team will aim to finalise their lineup “after the summer break.”
@@RoysIdeaI mean max still raced a season in toro rosso. He wasn’t in the academy but he was so dominant in f3 he never touched f2 and was in a top 3 car less than 1 1/2 years entering f1
As a driver, Lewis is on the down curve. His best years are in the past. Carlos on the other hand is on the up. My guess is - Lewis was hired due to brand recognition - Adding a second 7 time WC to the Ferrari history.
I'm still convinced Ferrari let go the best driver. Sainz is better than Charles. The only thing more disappointing than Ferrari kicking Sainz, was Williams having no honor and Albon disrespecting Sargeant.
Sainz now certainly is on the shortlist to take Checo's spot in 2025. I had hoped he would atleast get passed the McLarens but he was far off pace today, have not heard if he had mechancal issues aswell.
Congratulations to Carlos on being able to win the Melbourne race after Max DNF'd. His car control was 'top rate', under very difficult circumstances and definitely deserved the win.
Sainz is my favourite driver and he absolutely deserves a top seat, Red Bull seems like it could happen since Ricciardo seems totally washed. However I still can’t say that it was a mistake for Ferrari to fire Sainz for Hamilton, since he’s by far the most marketable driver (with Verstappen) and I’m sure he’ll be back in form if the car is strong next year
Don’t think the brake issue was Red Bull’s fault. They don’t make the brakes and Ferrari also had issues in Bahrain. There’s something amiss about the current batch of brakes from at least one of the manufacturers it seems.
I think sainz will go to redbull, perez's performance today has sealed it, his job is to be there when something goes wrong for max, and he definitely did not do that
I'm happy for Carlos and Charles. I saw the video mclaren posted and Oscar looks happy but disappointed he didn't win in his hometown but next year is always there and I know he'll win. Max is gonna come back hard and nobody is gonna be able to get that spot again. He sounded devastated in the post race interview though.
I more and more see Alonso -> Merc, Yuki -> Aston, Lawson -> RB and Sainz -> RedBull a possibilitxy (Wouldn't be shocked at Hulk -> Sauber, Bearman -> Haas either)
I'd argue that the decision to give Albon the car over Longan was wrong since Albon didn't score any points. Only IF that 11th place is the difference between P9 and P10 or P8 and P9 or even P7 and P8 I'd admit it was the right decision. But since Albon already got 11th in Saudi, the 11th in Aus means much less. That's why I say it was the wrong decision. He broke his car and got his teammate's car for the race to score 0. Logan could have scored 0 as well.
I really hope Carlos gets to drive something besides the glorified recycling bin that is the Sauber next year. Yeah, I know it's gonna become Audi in '26 but who really thinks his confidence is going to stay as high as it is if he has to putt around in a backmarker team for a year before that?
@@BehindTheDriveOfficialI mean sure but there’s no way that an 11th spot is gonna be the decider come the end of the season. Personally I did kind of agree with the decision since every point will count, but I don’t think one can really say that it paid off
It didn't pay off that much when they're fighting the shitty sauber for last place still. They didn't deserve any points with how terrible that team is set up and ran.
DR who is NOT a rookie shld be ousted in 10 races the way rookie NDV was last year for underperforming. With RBR, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Mclaren & Ferrari hugging the 10 spots each race, RB needs both drivers to perform well. Liam challenged Yuki last year compared to DR - he deserves the RB seat currently wasted on Horner’s Vanity Project aka underperforming DR in RB seat.
As the live footage clearly shows, GR was, at least, 20 meters away from Fernando's car when he lost control of his Mercedes? This silly mistake further justifies his proved 'on track' record, over the last 5 seasons, that he is a serious danger to all drivers 'on track' as he continues to drive way beyond his capabilities.
On Channel 4, James Vowles said that Logan was a total gentleman about the situation, and he understood the decision. He even sat in on the pre-race meeting and gave every hint he had regarding his car and how it is best handled (the two may seem identical but they'll always have differences). Vowles held his hands up and said that not having a third chassis was on the team - though the buck stops with him so he took the blame - and that basically, they wouldn't forget what Logan did for them. James is himself a real gentleman IMHO.
That was the drive of Sainz' career (hopefully just so far). He's been a man on a mission this season but I suspect this weekend probably has secured him a seat somewhere for 2025.
Would love to see Carlos fight Max in equal machinery, But if he replaces Max and is partnered with Checo I believe he'll get that number 1 driver role right away.
Sainz never seemed to really be rated by RB and unfortunately that assessment seems to have followed him despite excellent performances at Mclaren and Ferrari. I hope he finds a good drive for next year.
Hamilton wasn't alone starting with softs; so did Danny Ric. And mechanical issues sometimes just happen; crapping all over the RedBull team seems a bit heavy handed here.
@@BehindTheDriveOfficial That would be logical and smart but we're talking Ferrari here. I can see getting Lewis just to sabotage Mercedes though. That would be a very Italian thing to do. The Palio di Siena, a 4 centuries old F1 style horse race (from Siena, Italy), is known for these kind of tricks with jockeys (bribes and other tricks aren't even frowned upon). But they should double down on the Italian-style and tell Sainz they'll stay with him. They wouldn't want to see him go to Red Bull or Mercedes with vengeance on his mind or wanting to prove something.
sainz is going to secure his own future from now on. He knows he can win and will never back down from leclerc. Even if the team orders him not to fight or swap positions, i dont think he will do that
Whats up with Melbourne being so tough? It's a fairly smooth and simple track. On a slippery high-speed track with no runoffs, can't really blame the drivers for hitting a wall.
I agree with u. seeing Lewis was underperformed against George and saw Carolos has brilliant week, this is the point where Frank Basseur regret for not having Sainz in 2025. However, this is the time for Carlos to move to Red Bull or Aston Martin. There is a likelihood that Max will leave Red Bull, thus this is the time for them to have Carlos reunite with Red Bull. Carlos is a mature driver compared to Checo, and he got his alpha dominance also against Lando and Charles. For Aston Martin, perhaps they will consider Carlos as their number 1 driver with Tuki or Gasly as Aston Martin second driver. Fernando may go to Mercedes, bit having Carlos and Yuki or Gasly will be great for Aston
@@RoysIdea Exactly!! What if he had to save fuel, for example, or had to cool down overheated brakes. Would he not get off the throttle a bit sooner? Is that also illegal now? They were not even close to making contact..
I think Carlos will be going to go to Sauber next year in preparation for Audi, he will have one year to get the whole Sauber-Audi garage behind him. I think he will take up their non-German driver slot.
You say putting Logan on the sideline is the right decision, but I just feel this highlights their ongoing mistake: If Vowles really feels he cannot trust Logan to get the most out of the car it means he erred big time by retaining him as a driver. Willams deserves a red box for their recruitment, readiness, and the Albon crash.
it wasnt sainz who stopped verstappen, it was a stuck break.. verstappen had the brake problem FROM the start....so driving with an handbreak on makes you 1: slower 2: slide to corners....he didnt make a mistake, the car was snapping..nothing MV could do.
It's a bit worrying - but the grid penalty didn't help. Hopefully he gets back to second at least for his sake, if not the door might be open for Sainz
It's a pity that F1 management decided to unfairly penalize Checo, after Qualifying, as all F1 fans were denied a thrilling contest between Checo & both Ferrari's. But ...... as Max says, 'it is what it is and we can't change it, so lets move on.'
Leclerc has better media image (deserved?) and someone had to go when F1's darling was signed up. So Sainz is out. Whoever hires him will get a top driver that has always delivered. Sainz is still getting better. Hopefully, he will reach his peak this season and delight the fans with a long-awaited, proper challenge to Verstappen.
One thing Ferrari doesn't have is a drivers problem, also Giovinazzi and Bearman as reserves would be a nice couple for many teams on the grid. Is loosing Carlos an enormous pity? Yes, indeed: great & fast driver with a team dedicated mentality with also a strategic mind and capable of developing the car guiding the engineers, huge loss. But also Hamilton is an incredible add on to the team, the only incognita will be the relationship with Charles, but I believe that Lewis is in a very Zen but focused phase of his career. Carlos deserves a top team seat, and I believe he'll just have to choose the best option he feels fits him.
When it comes to the Ferrari decision it depends on how you define “mistake.” Man is more influenced by money and hubris than common sense, and apparently Ferrari’s stock prices have spiked since the Hamilton announcement was made, so there you have it. If I had any say in the matter, I’d leave Ferrari F1 status quo as I believe the Ferrari / Sainz relationship has been mutually beneficial.
Max's right rear brake 'lock up' is a freak failure that could happen to any F1 car............. just like LH's car failure could happen to any F1 car ............. so ........ both DNF's should not be blamed on the teams or the drivers. As Max said, 'Sh-t" happens and we can't change it, so let's move on'.
Ferrari made the biggest mistake ever - Carlos is the best Ferrari driver! he should really be asked to stay and receive a public apology from the owners!!
What all F1 fans want to know is what went wrong with Checo's car, after he breezed past both Mercedes drivers, half way through the race, to make him suddenly lose his incredible pace!!!

The team didn’t never stated that Charles isn’t to fight for the lead. He stated that he would’ve never been able to close the gap.
Love you’re videos, and your so quick with them!
Thanks for watching!
I don't think "the dominance of Verstappen ended". It's likely just on pause for a single race.
What a mistake, Louis is well past his best before 6 Sianz has many good years ahead
Let's fucking go Carlos
Sainz never seemed to really be rated by RB and unfortunately that assessment seems to have followed him despite excellent performances at Mclaren and Ferrari. I hope he finds a good drive for next year.
Hamilton wasn't alone starting with softs; so did Danny Ric. And mechanical issues sometimes just happen; crapping all over the RedBull team seems a bit heavy handed here.
Like Sainz is going to sacrifice much for the team now.
As long as he qualifies ahead and is ahead in the races they will look after him!
@@BehindTheDriveOfficial That would be logical and smart but we're talking Ferrari here. I can see getting Lewis just to sabotage Mercedes though. That would be a very Italian thing to do. The Palio di Siena, a 4 centuries old F1 style horse race (from Siena, Italy), is known for these kind of tricks with jockeys (bribes and other tricks aren't even frowned upon). But they should double down on the Italian-style and tell Sainz they'll stay with him. They wouldn't want to see him go to Red Bull or Mercedes with vengeance on his mind or wanting to prove something.
sainz is going to secure his own future from now on. He knows he can win and will never back down from leclerc. Even if the team orders him not to fight or swap positions, i dont think he will do that
Ferrari have made a mistake by letting sainz go
Whats up with Melbourne being so tough? It's a fairly smooth and simple track.
On a slippery high-speed track with no runoffs, can't really blame the drivers for hitting a wall.
I agree with u. seeing Lewis was underperformed against George and saw Carolos has brilliant week, this is the point where Frank Basseur regret for not having Sainz in 2025.
However, this is the time for Carlos to move to Red Bull or Aston Martin. There is a likelihood that Max will leave Red Bull, thus this is the time for them to have Carlos reunite with Red Bull. Carlos is a mature driver compared to Checo, and he got his alpha dominance also against Lando and Charles.
For Aston Martin, perhaps they will consider Carlos as their number 1 driver with Tuki or Gasly as Aston Martin second driver. Fernando may go to Mercedes, bit having Carlos and Yuki or Gasly will be great for Aston
Ricciardo also started on softs, not just Hamilton. They both regretted it very quickly 💀💀💀.
Great stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Alonso got demoted to P8
Weirdest penalty, I can remember, absolutely ridiculous...
@@F1pidis It's always Nando getting those strange penalties.
So what can you do while defending
@@RoysIdea Exactly!! What if he had to save fuel, for example, or had to cool down overheated brakes. Would he not get off the throttle a bit sooner? Is that also illegal now? They were not even close to making contact..
I think Carlos will be going to go to Sauber next year in preparation for Audi, he will have one year to get the whole Sauber-Audi garage behind him. I think he will take up their non-German driver slot.
You say putting Logan on the sideline is the right decision, but I just feel this highlights their ongoing mistake: If Vowles really feels he cannot trust Logan to get the most out of the car it means he erred big time by retaining him as a driver. Willams deserves a red box for their recruitment, readiness, and the Albon crash.
it wasnt sainz who stopped verstappen, it was a stuck break..
verstappen had the brake problem FROM the start....so driving with an handbreak on makes you 1: slower 2: slide to corners....he didnt make a mistake, the car was snapping..nothing MV could do.
I commented that Verstappen didn't make any mistakes!
@@BehindTheDriveOfficial 1 minute 18....
@@DAVE_JM The next line states that Verstappen may have been facing issues already...
I wonder why max just said YOLO and stayed out untill his brakes exploded
He just wanted to be sure before logging into iRacing
Saved himself a trip the the physician to check if everything is ok
Things we learned Perez in fastest car on p5
It's a bit worrying - but the grid penalty didn't help. Hopefully he gets back to second at least for his sake, if not the door might be open for Sainz
It's a pity that F1 management decided to unfairly penalize Checo, after Qualifying, as all F1 fans were denied a thrilling contest between Checo & both Ferrari's.
But ...... as Max says, 'it is what it is and we can't change it, so lets move on.'
Leclerc has better media image (deserved?) and someone had to go when F1's darling was signed up. So Sainz is out.
Whoever hires him will get a top driver that has always delivered. Sainz is still getting better. Hopefully, he will reach his peak this season and delight the fans with a long-awaited, proper challenge to Verstappen.
I would give a red box to Williams. Not scoring points when Haas got double points is terrible.
Alonso update: 20 second and 3 point penalty
He was not fuming. 'Shit happens'. The idiot was about the instruction to drive to the pit with the explosion risk of the tire
"No strong drivers to replace Sargent in 2024"...Drugovic? Admittedly Antonelli is tied up already but surely there must be other contenders...
I was so worried they were gonna tell Carlos to let Charles through, since that’s the only way Ferrari will ever see Charles beat him to a win 🤣
I'm guessing we'l see Sainz @ Mercedes next year.
Carlos will make a great 2nd driver to Daniel in Red Bull….🔥
1:16 Or, that they resigned the wrong driver. Imagine a Hamilton/Sainz lineup next year given what we’ve seen over the last year or so.
One thing Ferrari doesn't have is a drivers problem, also Giovinazzi and Bearman as reserves would be a nice couple for many teams on the grid. Is loosing Carlos an enormous pity? Yes, indeed: great & fast driver with a team dedicated mentality with also a strategic mind and capable of developing the car guiding the engineers, huge loss. But also Hamilton is an incredible add on to the team, the only incognita will be the relationship with Charles, but I believe that Lewis is in a very Zen but focused phase of his career.
Carlos deserves a top team seat, and I believe he'll just have to choose the best option he feels fits him.
Excellent points, Bearman resolves the long term issue!
is purple good or bad?
Purple is the best!
Saintz will be in a red bull if perez doesn't get 2nd place wrapped up in points.
Sainz to Red Bull
Sainz lead driver for Audi F1. I think you'll finf Sainz Senior has a working relationship with Audi.
When it comes to the Ferrari decision it depends on how you define “mistake.” Man is more influenced by money and hubris than common sense, and apparently Ferrari’s stock prices have spiked since the Hamilton announcement was made, so there you have it.
If I had any say in the matter, I’d leave Ferrari F1 status quo as I believe the Ferrari / Sainz relationship has been mutually beneficial.
Red Bull
That would be the best place for him to go!
Please let him come to rb…. 🎉
Max's right rear brake 'lock up' is a freak failure that could happen to any F1 car............. just like LH's car failure could happen to any F1 car ............. so ........ both DNF's should not be blamed on the teams or the drivers.
As Max said, 'Sh-t" happens and we can't change it, so let's move on'.
Ferrari is coming strong
Ferrari made the biggest mistake ever - Carlos is the best Ferrari driver! he should really be asked to stay and receive a public apology from the owners!!
With RedBull struggling this much at Melbourne, i will not be surprised if they lost 3 more GPs this year...
Monaco and Singapore?
What all F1 fans want to know is what went wrong with Checo's car, after he breezed past both Mercedes drivers, half way through the race, to make him suddenly lose his incredible pace!!!
There were nothing thrilling. Basically no fighting within top 4. Easy win for Sainz.
Without Verstappen Red Bull is only the 3rd fastest car
It was definitely a mistake to let go of Sainz after 2024
Carlos Sainz scored The last 2 Non-Red Bull Victories
He has, it's been huge for Sainz, great advert for hi services! Thanks for watching!
If Logan beats Alex next race, that would be some goat shi* 😂
This is true, lots to prove in Japan!
No Red Box for Perez?
He was close to getting a red box, he seemed nowhere yesterday!
Great script writing... thanks Andy!
It was early.. I did repeat a few words...!
