Exactly. I think Josh is forgetting that some of those times Charles finished ahead of Carlos, were down to Ferrari strategy calls. Especially when Carlos was asked to move over to let Charles pass. And while there were comments about Carlos spinning and losing it several times, it is almost completely ignored that Charles has thrown away several great results with silly mistakes. Focusing on one drivers errors and pretty much ignoring the other drivers errors is hardly a fair comparison. It still stands that in his first year with the team, he beat the guy who was already established in the team, and his gap to Charles has never been massive, so why is one the holy messiah and the other needs "redemption"?
@@caphowdy666 Lol what. Have you read any comment section? People rip into charles over tha smallest error and act like hes one of the most crashiest drivers on the grid, when the exact opposite is the reality Charles was 14-5 with Carlos in the races when neither of them had issues in 2021. Its just that Carlos had a perfect season both in terms of reliablity and other outside factors, and even then he only beat Charles by less than 10 points. 25 points in Monaco,a likely podium in Hungary, and went from good points to none in russia because he got left out when the rain fell. Charles also lost double the points to reliability and outside factors in both 2022 and 2023, and still beat Carlos. Charles beat Carlos comfortably in 2022, would have done in 2021 and they were neck and neck in most of the races of 2023. But when it counted, Charles went to another level, and scored more points than any driver (except him) in the final 7 races, despite a DNS and a DSQ, and ultimatley jumped Carlos, who in turn crumbled and fell to 7th.
@@dylanburston7453Charles Leclerc is a God-tier driver. If F1 was only about driving skill, Verstappen would have a run for his money. Problem is, Ferrari (at least when run by Italians) have been stuck in their trap of deifying one driver before remembering “oh shit, the rules say we have to have two” since seeing what the small Frenchman instituted with every teammate of the German. Other problem is, Charles has had a tendency to what I call the George Russell school of racing. Nobody can drive at 110% every lap of every race like these lads think they can. He’s nothing like as bad as George, but he definitely has a long way to go to get his head game down to a world champion level. I think this is something drivers raised by Red Bull get, while Mercedes and Ferrari wouldn’t tolerate that sort of defeatism. Just like Max, and Seb, Carlos knows how and when to give it enough (though Max needed MANY years to mature, and Carlos never had anything close to a dominant car). If the old Maranello doctrine of “never let your number two race the Chosen One”, they’d have quite a different balance. Maybe Charles would still have been 2-1 up, but it would be because of stepping up his game. It was Sainz who pulled Ferrari out of the doldrums from the start of the second half of last year. Without Qatar and Vegas - misfortunes that not even the most fervent Sainz haters could blame on him, Sainz would’ve beaten Alonso and Leclerc. It took a Frenchman to put right the long-term damage done by the other one. Maybe Charles will benefit from the more pragmatic approach, being that he’s less likely to be pushed by the wayside if he doesn’t always perform at the same level as Hamilton. Vasseur is the best gift Ferrari could ever have hoped for. I don’t think Lewis would even have entertained the thought of joining an Italian-led clown fiesta Ferrari, but he owes a lot to Fred and he knows he’s in the best hands. (The only people who could blame what happened to Carlos in Qatar and Vegas on the driver impacted are the “every teammate Lewis ever had including the Finnish ones was the superior driver but wokeness and stuff“ people)
Redemption? Nah, this guy has been an amazingly talented driver gradually developing into a complete driver. Dude is just the definition of consistency.
@@WCmexico98 His start to 2022 was extremely rough. It was the first time he had a car capable of winning in F1 and I think the pressure got to him and he was pushing past his limits. It was embarrassing, tbh. But outside of that, he's earned his Smooth Operator nickname for good reason. He was on a steady rise up to McLaren, and once he was able to settle in at Ferrari, he's been fairly consistent. He's driven so many different cars in his career, that his adaptability has to be mentioned. Doesn't drive dirty, has good race awareness, has shown quickness over his career even if it's not at the level of Max and Charles. He carries himself very well and there's definitely something to be said that everywhere he goes, his team always has tons of respect for him. Even McLaren still celebrates for him when he's won races at Ferrari. I'm not saying he's the GOAT, I'm not saying he's the best driver on the grid, but the dude is solid. Every driver has their bad days, but overall Sainz is consistent. We just tend to zone out and forget the days he's consistent and only remember the extremes.
@@MrBrian-fq4lr we'll have to agree to disagree. he's definitely lacked consistency everywhere he's driven. that doesn't mean he's not a good driver. but he does tend to show flashes of brilliance in small stints and then it disappears completely. i think we remember the extremes of every driver, but even if he's consistent, it's normally consistent in the lower points rather than above p5. it's not a bad thing!
Been pulling for Carlos since he joined the grid with Max. I'm one of those people that always chooses "the other option" (takes tails, turns left, etc.) and since Max was the chosen one, I picked Carlos. Also being very casually aware of who his dad was too. Started to like him more after DTS, and appreciated him as the underdog going his own way outside of Redbull. It's been hard watching him take all the hate at Ferrari over the years, but he's impressively kept his composure through all of it. He's had his moments, and it's been so gratifying watching him get them. But even his first win was tainted with hate and controversy. It's a bit weird seeing him get all this praise lately, and it makes me a bit sad that when he comes back down to earth, the hate will start to pile on again. I don't know where he's gonna land next year, but I hope he can drive a competitive car again in the future.
@@gamewondertv7934It was pretty obvious that Leclerc was the one who took Vasseur out of Sauber and into the Scuderia. I assume Leclerc told the Ferrari higher-ups if they were to not give in to his demands, probably because of clear bias within Binotto and his cohorts, he would walk out, leave, and never come back. Elkann was backing him, Piero Ferrari was there. Pretty much the higher-ups were on his aisle.
@@gamewondertv7934and by the way, you can also say Binotto has a regime too when he was leading. Him, Sanchez, Mekies, Rueda, they were pretty much the big guys. Reports say Binotto's micromanagement led engineers there really hurt the team's morale in the long term.
@@EllySensei Absolutely. Binotto's regime had lots of negatives, I certainly prefer Vasseur's leadership. But Binotto liked Sainz a lot more than Vasseur does.
Who's better between Sainz and Leclerc is not the question. The important thing is that Sainz must be considered as one of the top tier drivers on the grid. He's so underrated.
I am withholding judgement about who's the better driver until the last lap of 2024. Sainz has a fire burning inside that I have not seen in prior years. He wants to leave his mark on Ferrari and have Leclerc second guessing himself all season. So far, it is working.
@@ErnieBayless Looking at the season so far I highly doubt sainz will beat leclerc but I really believe sainz is just as good if not better than drivers like Russel
One thing Ferrari have been great at over the last few years is when they are in the lead, the ask " how can we fuck this one up?" And then proceed to do so as hard as possible. Leclerc and Sainze suffered heavily from bad team decisions.
You can’t say they fired the wrong driver, Ferrari just made the wrong choice completely in just not keeping Sainz. They’ve fired Sainz, the only person to win outside of Redbull in the last 20+ races or so, for Lewis, who hasn’t won in 3 years, and is currently P8 in the standings. They should’ve just kept Sainz with Leclerc, Lewis hasn’t showing anything worth buying for multiple years now.
I need to point out that he didn't out-score Leclerc by the end of last year because of the Las Vegas drain cover. He barely got a working car, the shitbox he was driving was held together by spit, prayers and the last of the mechanic's dignity and he had the racecraft to put that corpse of a car up in P2 right behind his teammate. Then he got hit by a penalty he didn't deserve and, naturally, didn't recover beyond that. He also hit another bump or drain either the next race after Vegas or the one after that and his car got further damage. Leclerc out-scored him for six points, he was leading Leclerc the entire year until Vegas. So... just wanted to clarify that for you.
What about leclerc in bahrain?What about leclerc in Brasil?And in Vegas carlos never had the race pace to be anywhere near charles and would've lost to him anyway
As of The 6th of July 2024....i can confirm that the curse is working in full effect and Ferrari's upgrades are just terrible downgrades so BOTH CHARLES AND CARLOS are suffering cuz of this 1 vid.....Thanks Josh
Josh this video is wonderful and amazing and very well done (even though it doesn’t even start to acknowledge some of the miracles he pulled in a tractor of a McLaren) But god do I hope Carlos is still immune to your curse 🙃
That's not josh's fault,Leclerc was faster in race pace compared to carlos in all the races excluding bahrain this year but he constantly messed up in quali. In Australia I think leclerc was slightly faster (10 secs gap in second stint doesnt matter if you close it up to 2 secs by the end despite starting 2 positions behind and being on a worse strategy) And in China for the first time they qualified next to each other this season and the pace difference becomes apparent even though I expected Sainz to do better on this track due to being more experienced but I was wrong
Carlos is a fast driver for mid-field cars. Charles is a fast driver for front-running cars (Bahrain, Australia and Austria 2022 proves this, as well as the amout of poles Charles' took during that season). Carlos is not a bad driver, but when he and Charles had the best car on the grid, it was clear who was the best of both. I don't think Charles is washed, but he seems acomodated and it surely is something that bothers. Let's just hope this video doesn't jinx neither Carlos nor Ferrari
I still think they’re the most balanced team dynamic this season. But you’re right. I think people want Leclerc to activate his dominance. It’s almost as if Sainz waited for Charles, then decided to do it for himself on the way out. Consistency is an issue with Sainz, maybe. But his strategies were more astute than Ferrari themselves.
I became a fan for him when in Barcelona I saw him driving a formula 1 car, fixing clowinsh strategies and ordering the tv helicopter to fly higher since it was hindering him with downforce.
Typical Ferrari to sign Lewis Hamilton (currently getting beaten by Gearge Russel) for half a billion dollars firing the only non Red Bull driver to win races. And is probaply ready to fight for a title.
@@askeladden450not really even in the last races of last season he was close to leclerc but about two tenths off on average, that’s probably better than what Ferrari expected when they signed him given what leclerc did to vettel.
@@Barrel2004 well, 2020 was a car that favored leclerc. If leclerc gets that kind of a car again, it would have been the same. We all saw how far back sainz was in 2022. Even with leclerc losing 100+ points to misfortune, sainz couldnt even come close. 2021 and 2023 cars favored sainz, and still leclerc was better, apart from having terrible luck. And 2 tenths is still a decent gap. Thats 10 seconds over 50 laps, probably 2 or 3 places. I still think carlos is a world class driver who can win a championship like nico, but people dont realize how good charles is. I dont think lewis is going to come even closd to him.
I am a Charles fan and Carlos is absolutely solid driver. But after a couple of races, fans have become so reactionary and have forgotten how the last 3 seasons have gone. I do believe that Charles is the stronger driver out of the 2 as he's much more consistent, but I don't see a situation in which Carlos doesn't have a seat next year
@@WCmexico98 I think the potential scenario is that he gets left out because he's aiming for Red Bull or Mercedes and putting Sauber on the backburner. Maybe Sauber/Audi don't play that game and move on, then he whiffs at RB/Merc and suddenly he doesn't have a seat. I guess there's Williams and Haas though. I think he'd just take a year off in that case.
@@TheProkonover That doesn’t matter, Leclerc is still the faster more consistent driver. He’s beat Carlos in quali and race h2h. Also there have been many races that Leclerc should’ve won but Ferrari was being Ferrari as usual. Lando and Daniel are great examples of this. Daniel won a race in 2021 but that did not make him a better driver during his time at McLaren. Landos consistency and pace was much stronger just like Charles’
Hey dude, have you considered making a video about Jarno Trulli? I think his story in f1 is very overlooked. Not the best of the grid during the race, but his qualifying skills were excellent. I still remember his pole/victory in Monaco 2004. You should consider it. Greetings :)
@@Kittysune12 yes, im not saying hamilton is bad, I just think he isn’t that much better than sainz. Plus he is much older. Sainz could last Ferrari a decade.
When he does land a seat, it is going to be with a top team, and it is going to be a very lucrative financial agreement. Every visit to the podium is worth many millions of dollars in his future contract.
You’ve got to admit sainz’s wins have been incredibly unlucky for Charles. Charles our qualifies Carlos time and time again, but when verstappen had a bad weekend he didn’t perform
Every time Carlos does something good, you have Charles stans crawling out of the woodwork making excuses. Both Charles and Carlos have their good days and bad days. Sometimes they line up, sometimes they're opposite. Just celebrate when your driver does good and quit trying to bring the other guy down when they don't. Charles is great, but his fans are the worst.
@@flips220 I’m not saying sainz is bad, I’m a sainz fan. Both have bad weekends and good weekends, charles has just been unlucky that when Carlos does better an opportunity opens up at the front of the grid. If verstappen had more problems at the races between Singapore and Australia and charles or someone else won we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Charles out qualified sainz 9/11 and the two times he didn’t, max had problems.
@@kugsyy i find funny this underlying tone in the arguments that basically imply "Charles has been destroying Sainz", when they've been the most evenly matched pairing in the grid results-wise. The argument falls apart when you compare it to Max vs Checo or Alonso vs Stroll. That is complete annihilation. Sainz and Leclerc just go back and forth throughout the season.
@@TheProkonover not really. they've been evenly matched wins wise. but Charles has overall had stronger pace and has more poles/podiums. the only reason they go back and forth is because the car tends to go in different directions. 2022: car had a strong front end (charles prefers oversteer). car veered toward a better rear end at the beginning of 2023, favoring carlos who prefers understeer
I disagree with the narrative that he is inconsistent. Aside from the start of 2022, he has been superb, even when leclerc has outperformed him like in the last races of last season, generally it hasn’t been by that much and I view Leclerc as multiple champion in a worthy car.
Yo dude, who needs Drive to Survive if you are subscribed to this channel? At least you are not beating around the bush.... You are stating the facts and making us laugh at the same time! Thanks for all the efforted in all your vids man! Big fan boy
FINALLY. FINALLY. Someone who actually sees the long term data and doesn't act in a reactionary manner. Thank you, Josh. While I have no doubt that Carlos is a great driver and will go on to do great things, the "has ferrari made a mistake in replacing him" or "did ferrari fire the wrong driver" talk does rile me up a bit, since it's extremely shortsighted.
next news to follow: Sainz to take a sabatical till Audi has a popper racing car. Josh, Remember, you owe us a video about the greatest driver never been considered great! We want pedro!
Leclerc should've won in Las Vegas until the safety car, and then Ferrari's questionably strategy, screwed him over. Leclerc arguably could've also won in Mexico as he had the newest tires of the top trio before the red flag and then the oldest after it, with the red flag also changing his feeling about his tires to a worse one, meaning along with losing his advantage over Hamilton while Verstappen would've had to pit again in the race if not for the red flag, giving either Hamilton or, most likely Leclerc, the victory. Leclerc wouldn't have won under any circumstances in Singapore, but he was screwed over by the safety car which forced him to double stack and lose quite a few positions.
I mean the guy made better strategies than any other member of the team while going 300 km/h, Ferrari didn't fired the wrong guy but more likely a the wrong time
These are all the instances of bad luck Leclerc has had: 2021: Monaco: Gearbox failure Austria: Perez Incidents Britain: Engine issues Hungary: Crashed into Turkey: Bad strategy. 2022: Saudi Arabia: Yellow flag prevents likely overtake Emilia Romagna: Bad pit stops force him behind Perez, causing him to try to get DRS and spin Spain: Engine failure Monaco: Bad strategy Azerbaijan: Engine failure Canada: Engine failure forces penalty Britain: Damage and bad strategy Hungary: Bad strategy Belgium: Debris causes bad strategy Italy: Bad strategy Brazil: Norris incident 2023: Bahrain: Electrical failure Saudi Arabia: Electrical failure forces penalty Monaco: Bad strategy Canada: Bad qualifying strategy Singapore: Forced double stack United States: Bad strategy and disqualification Brazil: Hydraulic failure Las Vegas: Safety car ruins strategy 2024: Australia: Forced to hold position when rapidly closing on Sainz
to be fair I wasnt impressed by carlos's win at silverstone. he ended up winning the race despite trying to throw it away two or three times. He was incredibly lucky to cross the line first at the end of the afternoon
I never slept on him. In my opinion he’s always been a good driver even back in the Renault days and that car wasn’t that great at all. Idk what team will pick him up for the 2025 season but whoever does they got one heck of a driver.
Fan of both Ferrari drivers. I think they're just very different, Charles being the more naturally talented. However, Carlos has always been the more strategic and level-headed driver. That's a skill not as valued on the tracks, but I really admired especially in the team he's in.
There’s a lot of ppl hyping up Sainz with barely any season underway. One race Verstappen DNF’d early on and another LeClerc had brake issues. I hope his form continues but typical F1 commentators live off the most recent couple of races. Not a good take when you look at F1 history. Leclerc v Sainz isn’t close since being teammates
he did make mistakes in Silverstone 22, and over the whole season he was slower. Don't act like he had his turn around in that year. He had it in 2024 definitely
The prodigal son returns!!! And Carlos Sainz. God I hope Mercedes scoop him up. It looks like Antonelli might need a couple years in F2 and as a reserve driver to get up to F1 speed. Would love Carlos to fill that gap till 2026 and Audi come in! He deserves a top drive, and Merc might not be that anymore, but I think he's found a way into a lot of F1 fans hearts these past couple seasons. He can most certainly operate a F1 car very smoothly.
Oh dear lord no, please don't curse our Smooth Operator, Josh, we've already lost so many promising drivers to your kiss of deathesque predictions...
They said the same thing about the wtf1 podcast before Singapore, chill

Josh this video is wonderful and amazing and very well done (even though it doesn’t even start to acknowledge some of the miracles he pulled in a tractor of a McLaren)
But god do I hope Carlos is still immune to your curse 🙃
When you put a man without any certainty about his future and his career, the determination just get bigger and bigger
Many says Josh jynxed Carlos with this video. His race pace today was much slower than Leclerc's, reminding me of the 2022 times
That's not josh's fault,Leclerc was faster in race pace compared to carlos in all the races excluding bahrain this year but he constantly messed up in quali. In Australia I think leclerc was slightly faster (10 secs gap in second stint doesnt matter if you close it up to 2 secs by the end despite starting 2 positions behind and being on a worse strategy) And in China for the first time they qualified next to each other this season and the pace difference becomes apparent even though I expected Sainz to do better on this track due to being more experienced but I was wrong
Got to give you credit for releasing this just before a race weekend, that's faith in your convictions
Carlos saw this vid and nearly crashed in Q2. Just to give the curse a chance
yknow what i love about your videos? the goddamn music and dynamic. simply amazing
If sainz’s performance drops after this I am unsubbing and reporting your channel
so real
Have you unsubscribed and reported the channel yet? 😂
Who is here after he just binned it in the china quali 😂
Whose here after he still made it to Q3 anyways
Carlos is a fast driver for mid-field cars. Charles is a fast driver for front-running cars (Bahrain, Australia and Austria 2022 proves this, as well as the amout of poles Charles' took during that season).
Carlos is not a bad driver, but when he and Charles had the best car on the grid, it was clear who was the best of both. I don't think Charles is washed, but he seems acomodated and it surely is something that bothers.
Let's just hope this video doesn't jinx neither Carlos nor Ferrari
I still think they’re the most balanced team dynamic this season. But you’re right. I think people want Leclerc to activate his dominance. It’s almost as if Sainz waited for Charles, then decided to do it for himself on the way out. Consistency is an issue with Sainz, maybe. But his strategies were more astute than Ferrari themselves.
Josh you bloody jinxed it
I became a fan for him when in Barcelona I saw him driving a formula 1 car, fixing clowinsh strategies and ordering the tv helicopter to fly higher since it was hindering him with downforce.
Recency bias is a huge issue in motorsports and sports in general
youve done it again bro...
Great video Josh. Packed with style and quality.
You will be lynched by the Tifosi if you have put the Hex on.
Day after this got posted - first race of the season where he finishes behind Charles
Carlos JUST spun in Q2 Goddammit Josh!
I remember his dad. Specifically I remember his dad's car breaking down when he was about to become champion.
🥺
What did you do Josh?! What did you do...
Typical Ferrari to sign Lewis Hamilton (currently getting beaten by Gearge Russel) for half a billion dollars firing the only non Red Bull driver to win races. And is probaply ready to fight for a title.
The most Ferrari strategy of Ferrari strategies 😂😂😂
I like Sainz. He's a very nice, well-rounded driver. But the recency bias with him is absolutely insane.
3 good races and its his 'redemption arc'. Just before that, he was driving absolutely shit.
@@askeladden450not really even in the last races of last season he was close to leclerc but about two tenths off on average, that’s probably better than what Ferrari expected when they signed him given what leclerc did to vettel.
@@Barrel2004 well, 2020 was a car that favored leclerc. If leclerc gets that kind of a car again, it would have been the same. We all saw how far back sainz was in 2022. Even with leclerc losing 100+ points to misfortune, sainz couldnt even come close. 2021 and 2023 cars favored sainz, and still leclerc was better, apart from having terrible luck. And 2 tenths is still a decent gap. Thats 10 seconds over 50 laps, probably 2 or 3 places. I still think carlos is a world class driver who can win a championship like nico, but people dont realize how good charles is. I dont think lewis is going to come even closd to him.
I am a Charles fan and Carlos is absolutely solid driver. But after a couple of races, fans have become so reactionary and have forgotten how the last 3 seasons have gone. I do believe that Charles is the stronger driver out of the 2 as he's much more consistent, but I don't see a situation in which Carlos doesn't have a seat next year
exactly. anyone who thinks he won’t get one is kidding themselves
@@WCmexico98 I think the potential scenario is that he gets left out because he's aiming for Red Bull or Mercedes and putting Sauber on the backburner. Maybe Sauber/Audi don't play that game and move on, then he whiffs at RB/Merc and suddenly he doesn't have a seat. I guess there's Williams and Haas though. I think he'd just take a year off in that case.
In the ammount of races they've been sharing team, Leclerc and Sainz have the same number of race wins.
@@flips220 right but if that's the case, that's his decision and not that teams don't want him in general
@@TheProkonover That doesn’t matter, Leclerc is still the faster more consistent driver. He’s beat Carlos in quali and race h2h. Also there have been many races that Leclerc should’ve won but Ferrari was being Ferrari as usual. Lando and Daniel are great examples of this. Daniel won a race in 2021 but that did not make him a better driver during his time at McLaren. Landos consistency and pace was much stronger just like Charles’
Here after the Sprint, let's see how fast the Josh curse really is...
He's going to do a Schumi at Williams.
The only question is, will it be a Ferrari or Mercedes ending?
hope you're happy, @josh, that first "amirite?" broke my Merc loving soul
He put a question mark in the title so it cancels out the jinx
Hey dude, have you considered making a video about Jarno Trulli? I think his story in f1 is very overlooked. Not the best of the grid during the race, but his qualifying skills were excellent. I still remember his pole/victory in Monaco 2004. You should consider it. Greetings :)
YOU JINXED HIM
nvm lads the car is still moving... we move!!!
Ferrari didn’t fire the wrong driver, they signed the wrong driver
the guy who finished in P3 2023 driver championship ?
@@Kittysune12 yes, im not saying hamilton is bad, I just think he isn’t that much better than sainz. Plus he is much older. Sainz could last Ferrari a decade.
Unbelievable that this man doesn't have a seat yet.
When he does land a seat, it is going to be with a top team, and it is going to be a very lucrative financial agreement. Every visit to the podium is worth many millions of dollars in his future contract.
Carlos has been given a raw deal from Ferrari I think it’s his goal going forward to make them regret that.
You’ve got to admit sainz’s wins have been incredibly unlucky for Charles. Charles our qualifies Carlos time and time again, but when verstappen had a bad weekend he didn’t perform
Every time Carlos does something good, you have Charles stans crawling out of the woodwork making excuses. Both Charles and Carlos have their good days and bad days. Sometimes they line up, sometimes they're opposite. Just celebrate when your driver does good and quit trying to bring the other guy down when they don't. Charles is great, but his fans are the worst.
@@flips220 I’m not saying sainz is bad, I’m a sainz fan. Both have bad weekends and good weekends, charles has just been unlucky that when Carlos does better an opportunity opens up at the front of the grid. If verstappen had more problems at the races between Singapore and Australia and charles or someone else won we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Charles out qualified sainz 9/11 and the two times he didn’t, max had problems.
@@kugsyy i find funny this underlying tone in the arguments that basically imply "Charles has been destroying Sainz", when they've been the most evenly matched pairing in the grid results-wise. The argument falls apart when you compare it to Max vs Checo or Alonso vs Stroll. That is complete annihilation. Sainz and Leclerc just go back and forth throughout the season.
@@TheProkonover not really. they've been evenly matched wins wise. but Charles has overall had stronger pace and has more poles/podiums. the only reason they go back and forth is because the car tends to go in different directions. 2022: car had a strong front end (charles prefers oversteer). car veered toward a better rear end at the beginning of 2023, favoring carlos who prefers understeer
@@flips220 i think that's exactly where he has got step up on
12:17 bro, that transition 💀💀
Josh is a lot like gege akutami (author of jjk), he just decides to curse a driver and boom they're form is gone
I disagree with the narrative that he is inconsistent. Aside from the start of 2022, he has been superb, even when leclerc has outperformed him like in the last races of last season, generally it hasn’t been by that much and I view Leclerc as multiple champion in a worthy car.
That's some scary moves dude... Why aren't you using this for Max every race?
3:10 and now the next 110 million years being dominated by ONE team
This is one of your best videos. Well done. And as a Carlos fan it strikes a chord.
Yo dude, who needs Drive to Survive if you are subscribed to this channel? At least you are not beating around the bush.... You are stating the facts and making us laugh at the same time! Thanks for all the efforted in all your vids man! Big fan boy
Carlos' win at Singapore was in my birthday. Great day to be a Tifosi
FINALLY. FINALLY.
Someone who actually sees the long term data and doesn't act in a reactionary manner. Thank you, Josh.
While I have no doubt that Carlos is a great driver and will go on to do great things, the "has ferrari made a mistake in replacing him" or "did ferrari fire the wrong driver" talk does rile me up a bit, since it's extremely shortsighted.
"Sainz rolled up his sleeves, and went straight to E.R!" Hysterical!
Epic jinx. Omg
The Josh Revell curse is actually so real😭
Gonna watch the vid rn, i will let yall know if its bopping or nah
11 Minutes in, worth it
When is a Josh video not at least decent?
@@TheFatSandwhich never, it’s always a 10/10
At 6:31 it kinda looks like Sainz is about to take a dump in his car.
next news to follow: Sainz to take a sabatical till Audi has a popper racing car. Josh, Remember, you owe us a video about the greatest driver never been considered great! We want pedro!
There goes my boy Carlos😔💔
Leclerc should've won in Las Vegas until the safety car, and then Ferrari's questionably strategy, screwed him over. Leclerc arguably could've also won in Mexico as he had the newest tires of the top trio before the red flag and then the oldest after it, with the red flag also changing his feeling about his tires to a worse one, meaning along with losing his advantage over Hamilton while Verstappen would've had to pit again in the race if not for the red flag, giving either Hamilton or, most likely Leclerc, the victory. Leclerc wouldn't have won under any circumstances in Singapore, but he was screwed over by the safety car which forced him to double stack and lose quite a few positions.
Does Sainz have a 2nd appendix. Think it is needed after this video
could you cover Tomas Enge sometime, he looks as pretty interesting driver, he also my home country driver
Yeah
Sainz is too good to not be in F1. I hope he gets a seat at a competitive team next year
I mean the guy made better strategies than any other member of the team while going 300 km/h, Ferrari didn't fired the wrong guy but more likely a the wrong time
These are all the instances of bad luck Leclerc has had:
2021: Monaco: Gearbox failure Austria: Perez Incidents Britain: Engine issues Hungary: Crashed into Turkey: Bad strategy.
2022: Saudi Arabia: Yellow flag prevents likely overtake Emilia Romagna: Bad pit stops force him behind Perez, causing him to try to get DRS and spin Spain: Engine failure Monaco: Bad strategy Azerbaijan: Engine failure Canada: Engine failure forces penalty Britain: Damage and bad strategy Hungary: Bad strategy Belgium: Debris causes bad strategy Italy: Bad strategy Brazil: Norris incident
2023: Bahrain: Electrical failure Saudi Arabia: Electrical failure forces penalty Monaco: Bad strategy Canada: Bad qualifying strategy Singapore: Forced double stack United States: Bad strategy and disqualification Brazil: Hydraulic failure Las Vegas: Safety car ruins strategy
2024: Australia: Forced to hold position when rapidly closing on Sainz
Average leclerc luck😅
to be fair I wasnt impressed by carlos's win at silverstone. he ended up winning the race despite trying to throw it away two or three times. He was incredibly lucky to cross the line first at the end of the afternoon
Who is actually impressed by that win?We all know Carlos didnt deserve it but he did deserve the other 2
I never slept on him. In my opinion he’s always been a good driver even back in the Renault days and that car wasn’t that great at all. Idk what team will pick him up for the 2025 season but whoever does they got one heck of a driver.
Fan of both Ferrari drivers. I think they're just very different, Charles being the more naturally talented. However, Carlos has always been the more strategic and level-headed driver. That's a skill not as valued on the tracks, but I really admired especially in the team he's in.
YOU JINXED HIM!
A Renaisainz if you will.
Watching this after his spin in Q2 😭
Of course you jinxed him :(
Awesome video mate
Nice job Josh, Carlos crashed out in Q2
Edit: nvm the damage wasn’t terminal, he’s in Q3
sainz is a great driver. he should be on the grid next season
"Twitch stream and part time F1 driver"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That cracked me up...
There’s a lot of ppl hyping up Sainz with barely any season underway. One race Verstappen DNF’d early on and another LeClerc had brake issues. I hope his form continues but typical F1 commentators live off the most recent couple of races. Not a good take when you look at F1 history. Leclerc v Sainz isn’t close since being teammates
he did make mistakes in Silverstone 22, and over the whole season he was slower. Don't act like he had his turn around in that year. He had it in 2024 definitely
Literally there are only two things that could have happened to justify ferrari kicking him from the team and one of them happened
At this point the amout of money surfshark has use for sponsoring his channel is enough for a new car
I don’t get the noise around sainz - Ferrari chose not to renew his deal - this is f1. Sainz did the same thing to vettel.
aaaaaaand now he just lost to charles in sprint.
Sainz hasnt dropped in form mate its just that Charles found his footing
It's just a sprint..chill
@@janhavi.v1320 ? You are still commenting this after Charles beat Carlos in the race aswell so are you behind in time or what?
And he's been jinxed
The prodigal son returns!!! And Carlos Sainz. God I hope Mercedes scoop him up. It looks like Antonelli might need a couple years in F2 and as a reserve driver to get up to F1 speed. Would love Carlos to fill that gap till 2026 and Audi come in! He deserves a top drive, and Merc might not be that anymore, but I think he's found a way into a lot of F1 fans hearts these past couple seasons. He can most certainly operate a F1 car very smoothly.
I'd like Carlos to beat russel in Mercedes
Part IV should have been titled Sainz' Revenge Tour.
He's had a really great couple years in Dakar, cool to see him in formula one now.,
