Way to much of this race is being fixated on the first safety car lol. There was a second safety car too, and Lando had 2 lap fresher tyres, was right behind Max, dry conditions, and couldn’t get it done. Miami Lando was in 5th before SC handed him first and he had a 6 lap tyre advantage from it. Didn’t hear these kind of narrative then from you pundits. You know what there was also? A qualifying Saturday where Norris had his chance to start ahead of Russel and Max, couldn’t get it done.
@stevenst6337 - Well done, I agree and appreciate you pushing back against all the sycophants that don't appear to be actually watching the races. I have done so many times, pointing out realities that lemmings are unable to notice because nobody told them.
No they didn’t. Lando had a second life line at the end of the race when he was second. He had fresher tyres than max and didn’t challenge him. Max just did the job.
A race without Safety Cars run entirely on intermediate tires, would have definitely gone to Norris. The Red Bull #1 recovered a small performance edge on the switch to dry tires, but that wouldn’t have been enough to breakdown the lead Norris was building on inters with all green flag pit stops. Safety Cars at Canada are inevitable though on a drying track, the challenge of dry tires on a damp track is a lot even for experienced drivers. You can easily build a scenario where Max or Lando win, George or Oscar however, were too inconsistent across the stints to win if either #1 or #4 finish intact. The lack of Ferraris simplified the race and I’d have expected Sainz in that mix for the win too, before qualifying.
@@angel_one1259 that’s because the McLaren was running higher downforce for the wet weather, the RB and the Mercs were faster in a straight line by 4 or5 kph, you can check the telemetry, it’s available if you look for it. That’s why Lando did so well in the wet / damp conditions and his tire management was so much better, but as soon as the advantage he gained was taken away by the SC, he was never going to beat the redbull in a dry race with his set up. He might have had a chance on the C3 compound, but the McLaren chews up the C4s for some reason, they might not have been as old as Max’s tires at the end of the race but they were in worse condition and the surface was grained the fu*k.
Looking for too many bogus reasons when there is only one valid. After the last safety car Lando had enough time and chance to claim the lead, but he failed. Where Max was not overdriving the rear, Lando was to busy with trying to get maximum exit speed out of corners causing the tyres to grain. So the real reason is: Max, racing craft.
Overconfidence killed both Lando and George 's race. They were counting on the weakness of the Red Bull car but they should never have discounted Max . Max did not try to overdrive his car and he won the race by being levelheaded and was helped by excellent strategy. Max and Red Bull know how to win a race , the rest is still learning. The coulda, woulda, shoulda story is getting old real fast at this point.
I only hope that Piastri isn´t going to lose confidence as he clearly is McLarens number two driver. Here´s for him learning to keep his tires in action as well as Norris actually is.
Why? Norris has been 2nd driver from 2019 to 2023. Nothing wrong in being the 2nd driver especially since this is just your 2nd year. He isn't being treated like shit either so it's okay.
@@de1623 Qualifying is not the goal. I don't know if Lando is extremely good on tyres or Osc is very bad, but it is clear race pace is where he needs to improve.
Piastri knows better than anyone that he is very lucky to have landed a seat at McLaren just as the car has come good. Lando has had to drive a tractor around F1 circuits for 5 seasons working with the team to develop a race winning car, he would have killed to have the chance Oscar has been given right now at the start of his career, many very capable drivers never get this chance.
McLaren messed up the moment they put both Norris and Piastri on the same strategy in the beginning when they had the second row on lock. Beyond baffling how they went for a safe 3rd and 4th protection rather than risk one driver to go for P1.
British media is reaching again to impose that a brit could have won it, Norris got unlucky with SC but was too cocky to go too long on the 2nd stop and by that time Max is comfortable with the slicks, then the second SC came and Norris has another shot if he was really faster with fresher tires than Max but no, Max left him lap after lap. Those who think that he could have beaten Max is living in dream land. When it matters Max showed he is indeed the better man.
@@maht0x oh another excuse, Max may have got a good restart but what did he gain? Maybe half a second or 3/4 of a second, so Lando if he really is that fast could not recover 1 second and beat Max? As if Max magically got 4 second gap after the SC, he built that gap by being simply faster and simply better. In a weekend where RBR, Mclaren and Mercedes is pretty much equal, the best driver made the difference.
Why not mention the timing of the safety car? Had they called it earlier (as they SHOULD HAVE - Sargent's Williams was sitting on the track going nowhere for minutes before the SC) Lando would have had plenty of time to pit.
Timing of safety cars is fraught with human error decisions that dramatically impact race outcomes. Drivers lose concentration or take unnecessary risks. This is a consistent inconsistency in motor racing.
Is it just me who thought that Sainz wasn't holding his brakes when he spun around and a was freewheeling backwards for a yard or two which left Albon with no chance to avoid him?
He was not holding his brakes, as he himself said in interview, to try NOT TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF THE TRACK…to prevend crash… but it caused him to turn into Albon unfort
Um…I would like to know why you think Daniel’s Race Pace was slower than Yuki’s over the Race…All that Stats I have seen is that is Completely WRONG!!!
It's well known that these clowns hate Daniel and slander him at every opportunity, all the way from Glenn Freeman down. It's of no surprise that they get verifiable facts wrong, deliberately. PS look what they did to WTF1 It's hilarious.
Hamilton did make a mistake... It wasn't just a bad race .. the mistake wasn't shown on tv but the time table show he did something wrong and lost a good amount of time
I wonder if it was the other way around and Lando won this race the same way Max win the title of the thumbnail in this Video will be is RED BULL cost Max the win i don't thinks So Oh i know the answer LOL😂😭🤔 Edit " the SC the one help Lando win his first win in Miami and Max RB20 has floor damaged lol
That has to be the reason Tsunoda has been given another year. Why roll the dice with Carlos when Perez could possibly work out or they just replace him with a driver already on the books.
someone tell me when has Perez ever won a race on his pure pace, where he has been the fastest all weekend long ,never .All his wins were because of luck and some decent pace .for eg his first win happened because George had a puncture ,second when max and lewis had retired at the end of the race ,Monaco because he rigged the quali,last year at jeddah because max was unlucky with the safety car .He's never won on pace and if hasn't gotten better it will never get better
Could have should have could have shoot have koot have snoot have coot have ….. well they did not…. This race was not won by a car but by a driver. What is obvious is that the race commentators like to talk about the British drivers and not spend more than three words on the winner, who in fact is competing on his own fighting two complete teams with 4 drivers breathing hot air down his neck.
NoLando simply was not fast enough in the last stint! He was on Max’ rearwing at the restart but Max bolted and was simply faster in these last 12 laps.
Wait am i remembering it wrong but didn't Lando get that big gap because everyone else got caught in the yellow flag when the 1st accident happened which allowed everyone else to have enough time to pit?
Both Lando and Russel made mistakes..Max didnt..so no, McLaren didnt cost Lando anything, both he and Russel lost the race on their own with their mistakes.. As for the safety car, well he got lucky in Miami so..
Max made mistakes. He wins so it doesn't matter, but watch max's onboards for the race and tell me he didn't make mistakes. He went off 3 times I happened to see, maybe more. Not as many as Russell, but what mistakes for Lando lost him the race?
I didn't realise Red Bull is so low of funds they need 2 old paid drivers. i thought they wanted the fastest drivers in both teams. I think Red Bull have forgotten they own 2 racing teams.
Red Bull Main Company are NOT supporting both Red Bull Racing & VCARB like they use to…funds have been slashed & both the Teams need to be funded by Sponsors Mostly…
@@Mandykiss4500 Do you think that is acceptable? With Sponsorship comes exposure and currently it is going out in Q1 and crashing for Perez and Losing to the young talent in Yuki for DR. It is embarrassing because it is a repeat. I loved Perez and DR back in the day but now it seems just wrong. Time to switch to McLaren it seems. Go Lando and Piastri.
I think Perez one is correct but Daniels one is harsh as he has been improving every race recently ,and an interesting stat for dr has out qualified perez in the last 4 qualifying sessions out of the last five in the B team
Why? Norris totally had time and I remember watching the map and then looking at the order waiting to see Norris “in pit” but nothing. It was SC. Confused I looked at the race, it just turned to Norris at that moment and I yelled, “What?! ….ok….” There’s Verstappen pitting now.. Not sure what they’re trying to do but guess I’ll find out. I did not find out.
Nothing wrong with McLaren strategy. Norris was already past the pits when safety car came out and their second stop got Norris ahead of Russell on fresher tires later in the race
WRONG!! Lando HIMSELF SAID HE WAS BEFORE PITENTRY when SC was called! He could have pitted! But the team didn’t call him in! That was a huge strategy mistake!!!
Lando has a lot of time left for McLaren to cost him more wins. It is nice to see them getting the opportunity to let him down on track, rather than doing it back in the factory.
The title of this his podcast video is obviously clickbait for comments engagement, because it’s Logan Sargent’s incompetent driving that brought out a safety car and melted Lando Norris’ 15 second lead
😂😂😂 Max had 5 sec gap and 3 sec lap gone by the next 2 SC’s……. Stop finding excuses. In rain races ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, VSC/SC/Red flags… you can expect all on drying track with old inters and cold slicks…
I dont see why nobody sees the obvious fact that the 2nd stop for lewis was supposed to be softs cause its only 12 laps to go. The soft can do 15 laps on max speed. At worst he should have had a Mid tire. There is no reason why they should even have considered a hard tire, weather was too cool and the laps too few.
I think one thing that doesn’t get enough attention is Oscar Piastri’s bad luck with safety car timings. I can’t remember the last time he got a safety car that actually helped his race.
@@j.s3300 Yeah seems to spend a lot of time just behind someone attacking early in a stint and higher tire wear is the result?

@@j.s3300yes, but he’s definitely improving that. He was in touch for the whole race here. He is really fast, but not the best just yet and I wish Oscar’s fans would tone down his praise a little to match his (considerable) ability. He’s only 4 years younger than Max (9th year in F1) and 2 years younger than Lando (5th year in F1). They were all good enough to be given a top ten drive in their first season, but it takes time to become a regular race-winner and they’ll be racing against each other for the next 10 years at least.
