It's exciting to think that we might have a season like 2012 in the future with multiple drivers winning races or like 2010 where there were 4 drivers still with a chance of winning the championship up until the last race
We wont have 2012 again,its just other era other drivers,other cars and the world is different,but we can have a good season again,that includes many teams winning
I really hope man the cars are all on equal pace level so we can have a really tremendous championship fight. Not just for one season but atleast 2-3. That would be such a fun and exciting thing to watch. Pretty much F2 levels of excitement.
He should go to Aston Martin. Hear me out. Seb is gonna leave in the next few years no matter what. Stroll is imo not on the level that Sainz is so he'll be number 1. That could be a dark horse in the next era.
Yea I feel he's gonna be another one of those middle generation which misses out due to being around at the same time as the old and new generation but not really fitting in either age or talent wise
I am a williams fan but also a russel fan, so I hope williams can get back to their former glory but also I need mercedes to be decent for at least another 2 years.
The thing is, new talent keeps coming to the F1. Piastri, Pourchaire, Lawson, Shwartzman... Drivers who can't perform will not be able to hold their seats for long, as they used to. If the 2022 rules also provide the desired effect, we will enter an incredible period in F1.
@@Jack-cq9pv Of course money will talk. But the pressure on drivers like Perez, Bottas, Ricciardo, Alonso, Vettel will increase. F1's talent pool will rise to unprecedented levels. F1 could become very interesting if the teams get closer in terms of performance. Yes, some teams will be far behind in terms of performance, but I am very hopeful for the future of F1.
@@alperendincer3273 Why would it change? There has *always* been new young talents poised to join F1. It has always been like this. Alonso, Bottas Perez, Ricciardo are all amazing drivers and There is no-one at their level outside F1.

@@bololollek9245 Starting in 2022, the 4 big teams will have long-term drivers. Teams such as Aston Martin, Alpine, Williams, which are under development, have more options. This will affect the driver market. Young talents will have more chances to show themselves. I say don't underestimate Piastri and Pourchaire. There's a good chance they're at Verstappen level.
As an American, I’m sooo glad I discovered F1 during the 2016 season. I got to witness the on track drama between Lewis and Nico for my very first season. Then I got to see the Lewis and MB dominance, now I get to the see these young guys all in top team battle it out for the next decade. Thank you Liberty Media for expanding F1s global presence and also allowing these channels to expand the sports audience.
@@Miniduck9013 our hope only hinges on whether or not all 10 teams (or at least a huge chunk of them) will be able to adapt for next year's new regulation
@@bullettime8760 yea, the battle will be decided by who can adapt to the new regs, both drivers and teams, whoever figures out the new cars first will have a lasting advantage
The young half of the grid is full of amazing talent and great personalities, the older half is full of wise, sage drivers with many WDCs under their belts..it’s a fabulous grid, the best in years!
Max paved the way for all the youngsters, he is driving his 7th season in F1 at 23 years old ….. credit where credit is due. Without Max his impressive entry in F1 we would not have this amount of youngsters in F1. Red Bull saw Max his potential and after two seasons other teams followed with taking on some youngsters like Ocon and Leclerc
While the rest are still somewhat finding their feet, Verstappen has grown and had experience at the same age. I think for the next few years, it would be hard for the other 3 to fight Verstappen.
🐂💩. These other driver's where going to come into F1 regardless, as they were all fantastic driver's. Max is only showing people how to crash. Here we have #Crashstappen again 🤦
@@UnknOwnParad0x who the f*CK is Lulu?! Can't you address someone by their real name instead of using childish nicknames! P.s. I don't really care who is winning the championship. As long as there is CLEAN and hard racing, I don't mind. It seems Max just isn't capable of that though! Hope he never wins a WDC! There are so many other more deserving of driver's!
You're right. Max was basically molded, and trained to be the perfect F1 driver by his father - I don't want to mention Jos' *actual* parenting skills, because he was way too harsh to Max on multiple occasions - but he did a damn fine job training Max to be a very good driver and the results have been showing for quite a while now. He's become the perfect combination of aggressive yet calculated, a ruthless driver, similar to Senna in this regard. Not to mention his six, soon seven seasons of experience, and he's only 23 years old. It's crazy to think about.
Same here. Since his first season in 2015 where he displayed such confidence, I knew it was only a matter of time before he becomes world champion. If he doesn’t then it’s beyond me.
Max was already long before he was promoted to Red Bull seen as a feature WC. I remember there were talks about an extreme talented Max (the son of) when he was still karting; they were saying he is WC material. I am Dutch and I guess outside there was less talk about it. But also during his days at Toro Rosso it was clear he was outstanding and a feature WC.
Agree. I think its the same for Charles too. Since he showed his pace in F3 and F2, in his 2018 debut and in his last 3 seasons with Ferrari. He is simply lacking experience. I think those two are on the same level. The duel in Silverstone in 2019 was epic
All I can hope for is that the new regs and cost cap really even the field and we can have a more competitive field. My ultimate wish is for every season to be like 2010/2012 with multiple drivers and teams going for the title up until the final race.
@@evanyoon1230 yea but remember he can move teams. I meant to say if everything lined up and he has a competitive car until he’s 39-40 he can easily break those records.
@@evanyoon1230 Give him a title challenging car for 7 years straight and he would still beat lewis' records. He doesn't necessarily need a dominant car to do that. Merc and RB are quite equal this year and to think that max could've beaten seb's record of 9 wins in a row is really scary.
He can be like Kimi in 2007. Two guys might be fighting for championship in front and eventually crashing into each other occasionally while a consistent drive gives the wdc to a driver you never thought was in contention
Predictions for the coming 5 years F1 mainstays: Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell, Norris, Sainz, Gasly, Schumacher, Stroll Talented veteran/not rlly young drivers that will eventually get pushed out for younger talent: Ocon, Bottas, Latifi, Giovinazzi, Perez, Ricciardo Might/Will retire soon: Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso Won't last: Mazepin, Tsunoda
tbh ricciardo and perez arent going anywhere.. they will stay in f1 for another 7-8 yrs they have proven their worth and have money to back their seats as well. f1 cannot become truly a young men sport it needs veteran in every era.. so ric and perez will be veterans in future f1 after hamilton,vettel,rai,alonso
@@AkilahHussain169 Perez will leave after RedBull, and RedBull won't hold onto Perez like they did Webber... and even if they do, Perez is ultimately there for a WDC. Yes, he helped them this year, but ULTIMATLY he's there for a wdc. He won't do Bottas, or Webber.. He'll leave in 2023 if he doesn't get close to winning this year... RedBull may want him a little longer, but Checo will have felt he's done his best. You have to Remember, Perez has a kid that is getting into that 'age' now. He won't want to spend those precious years doing something he's already spent a decade doing. You can only do so much in life before other priorities arise.. and watching your son grow up is the biggest.
Actually back in 2006 autosport ran a magazine article about this with the likes of Rosberg, Hamilton, Vettle, Kubica, Kovilinen and Glock i think. It went along the lines of golden generation, rosberg (Williams new hope), Kubica BMW star, Hamilton mclarens golden egg, Glock toyotas future, vettle redbulls ace Kovilinen Alonsos successor...
Finally somebody who sees how nothing has changed and that *tons* of young, promising new drivers are hailed as the future every five odd years. Jean Alesi was very promising in his rookie Tyrrell days. So was a certain Ivan Capelli.
George's time with Lewis will prove to be invaluable at building his resilience, and staying consistently quick over the course of a whole season. Don't sleep on LeClerc, though. I still think he's right there with Max if he had a car to compete with.
@@km4075 Russell probably has the best quali pace imo, He didn't beat Bottas at Sakhir but I imagine he wasn't pushing too hard in a car he didn't fit in or wasn't that as used to as bottas.
As someone who became a fan through DTS and consuming loads of F1 content on YT and from social media it’s amazing to see the new gen having a history with eachother and getting along aswel. Going to be great for the future of F1.
@@emilchandran546 we dont what’s going to happen next year but look at Danny’s track record, he wins a race after being backed into a corner and possibly with the threat of being dropped. Also, when Mclaren starts favoring Norris (and they will) he’ll probably jump ship. I like him but he shouldn’t have left Red Bull he could’ve won a championship in that car if he girded his loins and proved himself against Max. He’s inconsistent
It's 2000-02 all over again- Button, Raikkonen, Alonso (when he was 20 lol), Webber, Massa & Heidfeld. Got to give Sato & McNish a shoutout, they've done well in Indy & Le Mans
And finially these guys "just" won 4 titels together...because there was Schumacher and then later Vettel and Hamilton. Fair to say some of them were unlucky with their teams (except Button who seized the one chance he had with the Brawn masterpiece)
@TheWeeaboo I hope most of what you say comes true (such as a team never dominating F1 again), but to say F1 stands for something is a bit vague and something I disagree with. Is F1 trying to become a true driver's world championship? Is it trying develop new technology? Or is it there to please the sponsors? The agendas in F1 keep distracting everyone and causes more arguments amongst us all
Id argue carlos is a hidden gem in the next generation of drivers. He has been performing amazingly at his first year at ferrari compared to charles who is a proven talent and has been at ferrari for 3 years now
Max definitely leads the new gen by a mile for me that’s undeniable. He’s already proven that. He’s come a long way already in his short 6-7yrs. Leclerc and the rest aren’t even in the same ball park yet. They still need maturing and fine tuning.
@@cris4386 when he can consistently challenge for podiums and wins in the 3rd or 4th best car like Max did for the majority of his career then I’ll say he’s there. Plus he still needs to cut out the many first lap silly crashes he instigates.
I agree it's looking very exciting. But I think some of the new gen still have to prove themselves. Checo, Ricciardo etc won races and podiums too but will (probably) not be WDC. Only Max has really shown he can handle a WDC fight (maybe Leclerc as he won a few races but he makes mistakes too). Some of them may not win one and other probably will.
I think it will take a decade for all of them And Verstappen had the best chance Usually when you fight for the championship the first time you loose, look at Sebastian Vettel, he did fight for the 2009 title, he didn't have the best car, yes but I'm just saying
Max is peaking at the right time. All those years with a car that could win intermittently, he took chances. That experience is now reaping the rewards, plus the development race is being won by RBR Honda. Unlike Vettel and Ferrari in 2017/18, with the help of rule changes, they're not showing any signs of falling behind Mercedes.
Well the thing is with Charles is that it is only his fourth season in f1. He is bound to make mistakes and Max has already been here for seven seasons now.
Ferarris 3 years of underperformance ruins Leclerc momentum. Hurted him experience-wise and now he needs to catch up to Max, championship level performance Norris (and McLaren as a team) is still not there yet, in my opinion. And I just hope that the Russell hype wouldn't end up as a flop.
Leclerc is good enough to give max and Lewis a good fight if he has the car , this 2 years of a poor Ferrari hasn’t affected his performance , just obviously annoying .
In my opinion Charles will be in a stronger position for the future he’s just been in a roller coaster start of his career with winning races to being in a car not capable of a podium. Similar for George Russell they can both find the best car. But no doubt Max Verstappen will be a huge success but Charles doesn’t get enough credit coming from a Lando and McLaren fan
I’m surprised lando got such a low vote. But it’s also impossible to guess on who to vote for unless you put all 4 of them in the same machinery. That would be exciting.
I think this is going to be a great era. I would add Ocon and Gasly to the mix, too. Gasly has been so consistent and Ocon can be flawless. If Gasly gets a proper drive he will be a force on the regular. If Alpine shows up in '22 with a car that can compete for wins Esteban will be a regular on the rostrum. It will be Ocon's 3rd year, which seems to be a magic year for drivers fully seating themselves in a car and team. PLUS, he has Alonso as a team mate which seems to be a real plus the same way it is for Stroll having Vettel, or Gio having Kimi around. AND - with the cost cap maybe we will even see new teams. That would be aces.
Perhaps but AT does not have the infrastructure to consistently compete at the top rn nor does Gasly's future look stable with a competitive team. That's the difference compared to the 4 in this video
@@raulpetrascu2696 thats True. But since 2023 he is gonna have the car to compete them Nevertheless, in 2008 Toro Rosso was better than Red Bull, so you never know... Lol
The 90s also had the last 3 champions leave the sport in one year: Prost couldn't get a ride, Mansell left to Indy after winning his F1 title, and Senna passed away. It left the field open for the new young guns. Michael was already competing for wins and podiums with those 3 before they left, but would he have won as many titles as he did if some of them had stayed longer? Maybe.
My money is on Leclerc. He´s building the team around him since 2019, and it´s a matter of time until we have Ferrari fighting for wins again. Obviously, Leclerc is not the driver he was when he debuted with Ferrari, he was already incredible, but he´s becoming a total beast in my opinion, growing every year more and more, like Max did. If Ferrari gets it right, Leclerc will deliver for sure. I really hope Max wins this year, because i have a lot of doubts about Red Bull´s performance in the future, and the fact that we have the top teams already with those youngsters, i fear that he might get stuck in an uncompetitive place for years like Alonso, when he returned to Renault ,and later on, when he rejoined Mclaren, those really were wasted years. I hope that doesn´t happen with Max, but i fear that possibility.
@@marielou1982 I really hope so, but as you can see, that didn´t exactly happened with Alonso, who was arguabily one of the best, if not the best on the grid. But even if things go badly at Red Bull, i sure hope that Max can find his way into a competitive seat, as he is one incredible driver
@@marielou1982 Well, *not* if all the top teams already have their seats taken. Suppose Ferrari has a really good car next year and Carlos Sainz wins 2-3 races, and Ferrari immediately extends his contract for another two years? That means Ferrari will have both seats full until 2024. If George Russell is really good and matches Hamilton then obviously Mercedes will keep both of them until Hamilton's contract with Mercedes ends at the end of 2023. And here's the kicker. No top team will ever sign just a one-year contract. So imagine this: Red Bull has a bad 2022 and Verstappen wants to join "any" team for 2023. There will be a spot available at Mercedes and Ferrari for 2024 so Verstappen just wants a single year with Alpine/Aston Martin. They in turn *refuse* to sign him just for a single year. So will he then decide to stay at Red Bull for another year to get the "best drive" ? But by that point Leclerc may already be a two-time Ferrari champion and the "top driver" in F1. Not even Schumacher could have any seat and join any team. He negotiated for a drive with McLaren for 1999 and 2000. His condition for him to sign the contract was to be guaranteed "number 1 driver status". Ron Dennis refused this and told him he'd have to race Hakkinen and not until either of them got in a distinct lead would one have to support the other as a "number 1 driver". Senna even offered to drive for Williams for free in 1993. Unfortunately their engine supplier Renault insisted on signing Alain Prost... And Senna did *not* want to relive their 1988-1989 McLaren days as team mates... Senna's contract stipulation for 1994 was "no Prost". So Alain retired. Alonso had the "Hamilton-situation" at McLaren in 2007. Hamilton had the "Nico Rosberg-situation" at Mercedes in 2016. Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet at Williams in 1986-1987 = no love lost between them So one day Max might join a team which already has a young, top driver there who is hellbent on beating him... You can never take titles and places at teams for granted in F1. Not even as a top driver.
@TheWeeaboo I Have huge respect for Sainz, i always said that Ferrari would gain relatively to Mclaren with this operation and i still believe that. But i also think that Charles overall, is on a different level.
George Russell has been stuck in that matchbox since his debut in F1, but he's shown his class so far. It's a well deserved move up to Mercedes that see's him were he should be in my view. I can see him on the podium and challenging for the championship in the future.
The only reason that makes me think that leclerc will not be the most successful between this four is that he's Sainz teammate and they'll share titles between them when they're strong
As this is the first year I've gone full bore into F1 (previously it was me seeing posts on Reddit and seeing F1 related stuff on the old Top Gear) I am happy to have Lando, Max, George, and Charles as my true "generation" of drivers. I can't get enough of this season and I am excited for the future of F1. I think this is also the first sport that I've talked about with people this much between chats on TH-cam, OSRS, and occasionally Reddit. American Football, Golf and Futbol/soccer have been my other favourite sports but I feel like I "belong" in talking about F1 and it's definitely become my passion sport. I can't wait to see what the future of the sport is going to be like and I'm happy to go keep going down this journey. Great video, Aldas! :D
Max already is a legend! Nobody has and will come to F1 with an age of 17. Also I doubt there will be many maiden wins the first time they jump in a competitive car. Than there is the rain race in Brazil 2016, that alone could make him legendary.
That does not make him legendary. Drivers like Lewis, Schumacher , Senna, Alonso and Vettel are considered greats because of their domination and legacy. Max will probably go down as the one the greats because he is a really good driver but nobody is considered a legend because they won a race in the wet. Lewis beat prime Alonso in his rookie season and still had to win 7 Championships to get the respect he has today from the other Legends
@@sasmitsaurav1193 He did very good, and technically beated him, but considering it was a tie in points while the driver management of Mclaren F1 Team was, let's say, unoptimized, I feel like the best term for the comparison would be matched.
Great video subject! This is something I’ve thought about a few times while watching F1, how so many of the top teams have young star drivers now, and how great the next few years will be with such a talent! It’s the changing of the guard, I think it’s only a matter of time before one of the younger drivers takes the title ! Hoping it’s either George or Lando!
Welcome to the 1980s. At that age average drivers were over 28 so relatively we have seen 4 star drivers who dominated the 1980s. So much to look forward to
Next year will be so interesting with brand new cars and RB & Merc having to spend more this year to win. It's really a huge opportunity for one of the mid field teams to get off to a huge start if they nail the new car.
Lando-Sainz and Russell(next year) have the pression to win a Race to stay in the cool F1 next gen group... would include Albon if the Williams Car is strong in the new Era
great video, we have an amazing future in f1 upon us. This could really be a golden age, with the new rules. You see what happens when the fastest car's arent at the front, how close the field stayed together in the race yesterday. *monza 2021.
8:45 I wouldn't be that sure about Charles leaving Ferrari. It's clear that his connection with Ferrari is something unique that no other driver has to the respective team. He has a contract with Ferrari until 2024 and he already wants to extend it to 2026
I love the fact there were fans pointing out similarities between this season and 2005 when Fernando won his first title but also that 3 years after a 23 year old called Lewis Hamilton came in and nearly dominated so out of F2 it could be Piastri or Lawson dominating for the next years
IMO order for future gen is 1)Max 2)Gasly/Russel 3)LeClerc/Sainz 4)Norris/Albon Personally, i think Max has advantage of experience and rbr is all in on him. In terms of driving itself, Gasly and Russel have shown a lot of caliber, LeClerc would be higher if not for his "extra pushes" that push him too far out of contention, Sainz is just a personal favourite who adapts amazingly well, Norris is a lil overrated and Albon is a lil underrated, I think both of Norris and Albon are on the same level.
You should make a video about the “Middle Gen” drivers (including Gasly, Ocon, Sainz) - considering them at their peak, assuming they have equal machinery, how would they stack up?
Gotta say… I've been following F1 since the mid 60s and I have never seen a time like now when so many good/great drivers and good/great teams have been competing simultaneously. This is F1's Golden Age.
@@NardKoning i mean in 2019 silverstone, the ferrari and RB were very close in performance with the Ferrari just a bit quicker and Leclerc put up a great fight against Verstappen who has had 3 more years of experience so I just rank them together, plus i think Leclerc is better at qualifying
@@NardKoning Russell also does make mistakes, more often at race pace! So both Leclerc & Russell MUST improve their race craft & not mistakes but their single pace lap is great. Just the race pace & hence why, my order is like:- 1. Max 2. Lando 3. Leclerc 4. George
About the previous gen, I really don’t know where to qualify Button or Rosberg , definitely can be included in the old stars as they have 1 WDC like kimi. Less doubts considering Nico made it within Lewis dominance era. Wish I’d see those two race
It's looking to be a fun couple of years, especially if the gen 3 hybrid plans work out right. And furthermore I'd call the likes of Gasly and Sainz absolutely in that mix with the right circumstances if those same rules land with a shake-up to the order that I can't really see happening with so much preparation by all sides

I can. Virtually every single year. You see, nothing really changes. I have been watching F1 since I was six years old. Over the years I have noticed one common denominator over all the seasons: Lots of young drivers look really good and are ascribed a "great future" in F1, but out of ten promising talents from a particular age bracket only five end up winning races, and only two are ever champions. For every Schumacher there is a Alesi, Panis and Nannini. For every Alonso there is a Trulli, Fisichella and Kubica. Jolyon Palmer was a great talent in F2/GP2 and won an easy F2 title. Much good that did him in F1. Stoffel Vandoorne utterly dominated his F2 title and won 7 races. Surely this would lead to good things in F1? Nope. Hate to inform you of this but out of the late-90's born drivers, Verstappen, Leclerc, Russell, Norris, Stroll, Mick Schumacher, Mazepin, Ilott (Ferrari test driver and vice-F2 champion), only half will ever win a race and only two will ever be champion.
@@paulallen8109 yh. How many careers were destroyed by the vettel, hamilton dominance of the 2010s. Only one driver can win a wdc in a year, its a super exclusive club.
I had exactly the same thoughts like you. I think that Gasly is up there at the moment as well, but Alfa Tauri is unlikely to challenge unfortunately. Good analysis overall 👍
I just want to see what russel can really do next year. 2022 is going to be an amazingly interesting year.... all the changes really do mean any one of 4 teams could have an edge depending on what theyve worked on the past couple of years... mercedes, red bull, mclaren, ferrari. Might seem far fetched.... but thats a lot of changes
I just hope that neither Mclaren, Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes have a strong enough package to be a top team in 22 or 23. I wanna see Seb vs Alonso one last time... Is this unrealistic... yes... But not Impossible XD
I hope Gasly will get a shot at Mercedes when Hamilton retires. Also Sainz has the ability to go toe to toe with Leclerc no doubt. He's a more mature driver in my opinion.
Can we just stop and appreciate that we had Kimi, Fernando, Lewis, and Seb on the grid this year. 14 Driver's titles between them. 😳
Amen to that one 🙏🏾 They all get my respect that's for sure. Regardless.
In 2012 there were 14 titles on the grid too
2012 was the year of champions. There was so many different winners in the first half of that season. What a great season it was.
Well next year we will still have 14 drivers title on the grid
Next year that will be one fewer.

It's exciting to think that we might have a season like 2012 in the future with multiple drivers winning races or like 2010 where there were 4 drivers still with a chance of winning the championship up until the last race
Hear me out but I think all four of them will win a title as some point
We wont have 2012 again,its just other era other drivers,other cars and the world is different,but we can have a good season again,that includes many teams winning
Being F1 most likely one of them wont,2 will win it once ,and the forth will win 5+
I really hope man the cars are all on equal pace level so we can have a really tremendous championship fight. Not just for one season but atleast 2-3. That would be such a fun and exciting thing to watch. Pretty much F2 levels of excitement.
Don’t put your hope too high, there’s an equal chance that one team would completely dominate the field like never before.
I feel for Sainz , he is the only one who feels out of place without a team which he can lead .
I personally disagree, i feel worse for bottas. Even though he’s not my favorite driver, his situation just has to suck man…
Actually now that i think about it. At least bottas is garunteed a few more years in the sport. You’re right
He should go to Aston Martin. Hear me out. Seb is gonna leave in the next few years no matter what. Stroll is imo not on the level that Sainz is so he'll be number 1. That could be a dark horse in the next era.
He has zero world championship potential of the lot - even less than Gasly to be fair.
Yea I feel he's gonna be another one of those middle generation which misses out due to being around at the same time as the old and new generation but not really fitting in either age or talent wise
Imagine Williams hit a reverse UNO card and Albon comes in the running for championship

Nah king latifi WDC
That will be the most Russell thing to happen to Russell. Man would have done an Alonso

This will affect the driver market. Young talents will have more chances to show themselves. I say don't underestimate Piastri and Pourchaire. There's a good chance they're at Verstappen level.
As an American, I’m sooo glad I discovered F1 during the 2016 season. I got to witness the on track drama between Lewis and Nico for my very first season. Then I got to see the Lewis and MB dominance, now I get to the see these young guys all in top team battle it out for the next decade.
Thank you Liberty Media for expanding F1s global presence and also allowing these channels to expand the sports audience.

Poor carlos! Always underrated, always forgotten.
Sainz seems almost on par with Leclerc by the way, it may be in both new cars that he will be just as good actually.
Sainz is very good yes but i would still give lec 0.1 more
No, Leclerc has more pace with far less experience
Sainz is a good and consistent driver. But Charles is on a league on his own

@@DiegoRYT Spa, Zandvoort and Monza are circuits that don't suit Ferrari's car. We wont see another Monaco, but from now the situation should improve
Max paved the way for all the youngsters, he is driving his 7th season in F1 at 23 years old ….. credit where credit is due. Without Max his impressive entry in F1 we would not have this amount of youngsters in F1. Red Bull saw Max his potential and after two seasons other teams followed with taking on some youngsters like Ocon and Leclerc
TRUE
While the rest are still somewhat finding their feet, Verstappen has grown and had experience at the same age. I think for the next few years, it would be hard for the other 3 to fight Verstappen.

You cant base your entire season on a single win
@@ofifgamerz2272 He's beating Norris since Italy lol
Ironic!
Lando is definitely the most underrated among them, Lando’s ability to keep improving is what could possibly make him a world champion
Honestly since his first win for Red Bull in Spain I was convinced that Max was born to be world champion. It is not a question of if but when.
You're right.
Max was basically molded, and trained to be the perfect F1 driver by his father - I don't want to mention Jos' *actual* parenting skills, because he was way too harsh to Max on multiple occasions - but he did a damn fine job training Max to be a very good driver and the results have been showing for quite a while now. He's become the perfect combination of aggressive yet calculated, a ruthless driver, similar to Senna in this regard.
Not to mention his six, soon seven seasons of experience, and he's only 23 years old.
It's crazy to think about.
Same here. Since his first season in 2015 where he displayed such confidence, I knew it was only a matter of time before he becomes world champion. If he doesn’t then it’s beyond me.
Max is by far the most mature and complete driver of this generation. I think he could be in the greatest of all time conversation when he retires.
Max was already long before he was promoted to Red Bull seen as a feature WC. I remember there were talks about an extreme talented Max (the son of) when he was still karting; they were saying he is WC material. I am Dutch and I guess outside there was less talk about it. But also during his days at Toro Rosso it was clear he was outstanding and a feature WC.
Agree. I think its the same for Charles too. Since he showed his pace in F3 and F2, in his 2018 debut and in his last 3 seasons with Ferrari. He is simply lacking experience. I think those two are on the same level. The duel in Silverstone in 2019 was epic
All I can hope for is that the new regs and cost cap really even the field and we can have a more competitive field. My ultimate wish is for every season to be like 2010/2012 with multiple drivers and teams going for the title up until the final race.
Max is one of the most complete drivers on the grid already, his potential is scary
In my opinion, he’s the only one who can realistically break Hamilton’s records. As long as he has the car because he’s definitely not lacking skill.
@@AndresCamachoTaveras I don’t think RB would build as dominant a car as Mercedes though
@@evanyoon1230 yea but remember he can move teams. I meant to say if everything lined up and he has a competitive car until he’s 39-40 he can easily break those records.
@@evanyoon1230 Give him a title challenging car for 7 years straight and he would still beat lewis' records. He doesn't necessarily need a dominant car to do that. Merc and RB are quite equal this year and to think that max could've beaten seb's record of 9 wins in a row is really scary.

Let's not forget Carlos Sainz
He flies under the radar most of the time
But he's seriously consistent and quick
He can be like Kimi in 2007. Two guys might be fighting for championship in front and eventually crashing into each other occasionally while a consistent drive gives the wdc to a driver you never thought was in contention

Predictions for the coming 5 years
F1 mainstays: Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell, Norris, Sainz, Gasly, Schumacher, Stroll
Talented veteran/not rlly young drivers that will eventually get pushed out for younger talent: Ocon, Bottas, Latifi, Giovinazzi, Perez, Ricciardo
Might/Will retire soon: Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso
Won't last: Mazepin, Tsunoda
tbh ricciardo and perez arent going anywhere.. they will stay in f1 for another 7-8 yrs
they have proven their worth and have money to back their seats as well.
f1 cannot become truly a young men sport it needs veteran in every era..
so ric and perez will be veterans in future f1 after hamilton,vettel,rai,alonso
I will disagree on the Tsunoda part, he has started performing quite good in second half of the season.
@@AkilahHussain169 Perez will leave after RedBull, and RedBull won't hold onto Perez like they did Webber... and even if they do, Perez is ultimately there for a WDC. Yes, he helped them this year, but ULTIMATLY he's there for a wdc. He won't do Bottas, or Webber.. He'll leave in 2023 if he doesn't get close to winning this year... RedBull may want him a little longer, but Checo will have felt he's done his best.
You have to Remember, Perez has a kid that is getting into that 'age' now. He won't want to spend those precious years doing something he's already spent a decade doing. You can only do so much in life before other priorities arise.. and watching your son grow up is the biggest.
Won’t last: Mazepin and Stroll
Will last: Tsunoda along with all the others you mentioned as mainstays
Actually back in 2006 autosport ran a magazine article about this with the likes of Rosberg, Hamilton, Vettle, Kubica, Kovilinen and Glock i think.
It went along the lines of golden generation, rosberg (Williams new hope), Kubica BMW star, Hamilton mclarens golden egg, Glock toyotas future, vettle redbulls ace Kovilinen Alonsos successor...
Finally somebody who sees how nothing has changed and that *tons* of young, promising new drivers are hailed as the future every five odd years. Jean Alesi was very promising in his rookie Tyrrell days. So was a certain Ivan Capelli.
Also look out for Théo Pourchaire in F2. That guy is special as well! 😀

@@emilchandran546 we dont what’s going to happen next year but look at Danny’s track record, he wins a race after being backed into a corner and possibly with the threat of being dropped.

I like him but he shouldn’t have left Red Bull he could’ve won a championship in that car if he girded his loins and proved himself against Max. He’s inconsistent

And finially these guys "just" won 4 titels together...because there was Schumacher and then later Vettel and Hamilton. Fair to say some of them were unlucky with their teams (except Button who seized the one chance he had with the Brawn masterpiece)
@@danielfromm9711 I honestly thought Alonso v Raikkonen was going to be the next Prost v Senna rivalry back in 2005.
@TheWeeaboo I hope most of what you say comes true (such as a team never dominating F1 again), but to say F1 stands for something is a bit vague and something I disagree with. Is F1 trying to become a true driver's world championship? Is it trying develop new technology? Or is it there to please the sponsors? The agendas in F1 keep distracting everyone and causes more arguments amongst us all

2. Leclerc
3. Russell
4. Gasly
5. Norris
Verstappen, Russel, Leclerc, Norris, Sainz
Sorry but u can't add Gasly there if u don't add Sainz!

@@botortamas how
@@cris4386 when he can consistently challenge for podiums and wins in the 3rd or 4th best car like Max did for the majority of his career then I’ll say he’s there. Plus he still needs to cut out the many first lap silly crashes he instigates.
I agree it's looking very exciting. But I think some of the new gen still have to prove themselves. Checo, Ricciardo etc won races and podiums too but will (probably) not be WDC. Only Max has really shown he can handle a WDC fight (maybe Leclerc as he won a few races but he makes mistakes too). Some of them may not win one and other probably will.
I think it will take a decade for all of them
And Verstappen had the best chance
Usually when you fight for the championship the first time you loose, look at Sebastian Vettel, he did fight for the 2009 title, he didn't have the best car, yes but I'm just saying
Max is peaking at the right time. All those years with a car that could win intermittently, he took chances. That experience is now reaping the rewards, plus the development race is being won by RBR Honda. Unlike Vettel and Ferrari in 2017/18, with the help of rule changes, they're not showing any signs of falling behind Mercedes.
Well the thing is with Charles is that it is only his fourth season in f1. He is bound to make mistakes and Max has already been here for seven seasons now.
Ferarris 3 years of underperformance ruins Leclerc momentum.
Hurted him experience-wise and now he needs to catch up to Max, championship level performance
Norris (and McLaren as a team) is still not there yet, in my opinion.
And I just hope that the Russell hype wouldn't end up as a flop.
Leclerc is good enough to give max and Lewis a good fight if he has the car , this 2 years of a poor Ferrari hasn’t affected his performance , just obviously annoying .
In my opinion Charles will be in a stronger position for the future he’s just been in a roller coaster start of his career with winning races to being in a car not capable of a podium. Similar for George Russell they can both find the best car. But no doubt Max Verstappen will be a huge success but Charles doesn’t get enough credit coming from a Lando and McLaren fan
I’m surprised lando got such a low vote. But it’s also impossible to guess on who to vote for unless you put all 4 of them in the same machinery. That would be exciting.
I think this is going to be a great era. I would add Ocon and Gasly to the mix, too. Gasly has been so consistent and Ocon can be flawless. If Gasly gets a proper drive he will be a force on the regular. If Alpine shows up in '22 with a car that can compete for wins Esteban will be a regular on the rostrum. It will be Ocon's 3rd year, which seems to be a magic year for drivers fully seating themselves in a car and team. PLUS, he has Alonso as a team mate which seems to be a real plus the same way it is for Stroll having Vettel, or Gio having Kimi around. AND - with the cost cap maybe we will even see new teams. That would be aces.
Ocon was also running in 2018 for force India. So it ll be his 4th year in f1.
@@GeorgeDenis. Ohhhh right. Thx.
I think Gasly belongs to the next Gold Generation. He has been proved himself more than Russell and Norris
Beating Hartley Kvyat and Tsunoda is so haaaaard.
Perhaps but AT does not have the infrastructure to consistently compete at the top rn nor does Gasly's future look stable with a competitive team. That's the difference compared to the 4 in this video

I believe those were quality drivers, Schumi and Hakkinnen are worthy world champions, but this new generation is more talented in my opinion.
The 90s also had the last 3 champions leave the sport in one year: Prost couldn't get a ride, Mansell left to Indy after winning his F1 title, and Senna passed away. It left the field open for the new young guns. Michael was already competing for wins and podiums with those 3 before they left, but would he have won as many titles as he did if some of them had stayed longer? Maybe.

Going to be so sad seeing all time greats leave the sport soon. But with personalities like the young guns the future of F1 drivers is secured.
The previous gen should have included button, rosberg, and massa as well though...
My money is on Leclerc. He´s building the team around him since 2019, and it´s a matter of time until we have Ferrari fighting for wins again. Obviously, Leclerc is not the driver he was when he debuted with Ferrari, he was already incredible, but he´s becoming a total beast in my opinion, growing every year more and more, like Max did. If Ferrari gets it right, Leclerc will deliver for sure. I really hope Max wins this year, because i have a lot of doubts about Red Bull´s performance in the future, and the fact that we have the top teams already with those youngsters, i fear that he might get stuck in an uncompetitive place for years like Alonso, when he returned to Renault ,and later on, when he rejoined Mclaren, those really were wasted years. I hope that doesn´t happen with Max, but i fear that possibility.
Facts
If red bull does a lousy job, max can join any team. No problemo.
@@marielou1982 I really hope so, but as you can see, that didn´t exactly happened with Alonso, who was arguabily one of the best, if not the best on the grid. But even if things go badly at Red Bull, i sure hope that Max can find his way into a competitive seat, as he is one incredible driver
@@marielou1982 Well, *not* if all the top teams already have their seats taken. Suppose Ferrari has a really good car next year and Carlos Sainz wins 2-3 races, and Ferrari immediately extends his contract for another two years? That means Ferrari will have both seats full until 2024. If George Russell is really good and matches Hamilton then obviously Mercedes will keep both of them until Hamilton's contract with Mercedes ends at the end of 2023. And here's the kicker. No top team will ever sign just a one-year contract.
So imagine this: Red Bull has a bad 2022 and Verstappen wants to join "any" team for 2023. There will be a spot available at Mercedes and Ferrari for 2024 so Verstappen just wants a single year with Alpine/Aston Martin. They in turn *refuse* to sign him just for a single year. So will he then decide to stay at Red Bull for another year to get the "best drive" ? But by that point Leclerc may already be a two-time Ferrari champion and the "top driver" in F1.
Not even Schumacher could have any seat and join any team. He negotiated for a drive with McLaren for 1999 and 2000. His condition for him to sign the contract was to be guaranteed "number 1 driver status". Ron Dennis refused this and told him he'd have to race Hakkinen and not until either of them got in a distinct lead would one have to support the other as a "number 1 driver".
Senna even offered to drive for Williams for free in 1993. Unfortunately their engine supplier Renault insisted on signing Alain Prost... And Senna did *not* want to relive their 1988-1989 McLaren days as team mates...
Senna's contract stipulation for 1994 was "no Prost". So Alain retired.
Alonso had the "Hamilton-situation" at McLaren in 2007.
Hamilton had the "Nico Rosberg-situation" at Mercedes in 2016.
Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet at Williams in 1986-1987 = no love lost between them
So one day Max might join a team which already has a young, top driver there who is hellbent on beating him...
You can never take titles and places at teams for granted in F1. Not even as a top driver.
@TheWeeaboo I Have huge respect for Sainz, i always said that Ferrari would gain relatively to Mclaren with this operation and i still believe that. But i also think that Charles overall, is on a different level.
George Russell has been stuck in that matchbox since his debut in F1, but he's shown his class so far. It's a well deserved move up to Mercedes that see's him were he should be in my view. I can see him on the podium and challenging for the championship in the future.
Gasly is underrated af
Yeah, I think his problem is staying with RedBull just for a slight chance to get to the main team. In another car he would definetly pose a threat.
7:18 "Hope he doesn't have the same performance as 2021 so far."

As this is the first year I've gone full bore into F1 (previously it was me seeing posts on Reddit and seeing F1 related stuff on the old Top Gear) I am happy to have Lando, Max, George, and Charles as my true "generation" of drivers. I can't get enough of this season and I am excited for the future of F1. I think this is also the first sport that I've talked about with people this much between chats on TH-cam, OSRS, and occasionally Reddit. American Football, Golf and Futbol/soccer have been my other favourite sports but I feel like I "belong" in talking about F1 and it's definitely become my passion sport. I can't wait to see what the future of the sport is going to be like and I'm happy to go keep going down this journey. Great video, Aldas! :D
The disrespect to stroll 🥴
The future of F1 looks bright! Lando is my boy. Great talents and great personalities. This season has been amazing!
Max already is a legend! Nobody has and will come to F1 with an age of 17. Also I doubt there will be many maiden wins the first time they jump in a competitive car. Than there is the rain race in Brazil 2016, that alone could make him legendary.
That does not make him legendary. Drivers like Lewis, Schumacher , Senna, Alonso and Vettel are considered greats because of their domination and legacy. Max will probably go down as the one the greats because he is a really good driver but nobody is considered a legend because they won a race in the wet. Lewis beat prime Alonso in his rookie season and still had to win 7 Championships to get the respect he has today from the other Legends
@@sasmitsaurav1193 He did very good, and technically beated him, but considering it was a tie in points while the driver management of Mclaren F1 Team was, let's say, unoptimized, I feel like the best term for the comparison would be matched.
Great video subject! This is something I’ve thought about a few times while watching F1, how so many of the top teams have young star drivers now, and how great the next few years will be with such a talent! It’s the changing of the guard, I think it’s only a matter of time before one of the younger drivers takes the title ! Hoping it’s either George or Lando!
Welcome to the 1980s. At that age average drivers were over 28 so relatively we have seen 4 star drivers who dominated the 1980s. So much to look forward to
So glad to see Lando's name popping up now when talking about potential world champions
Verstappen, Norris, Ricciardo, Russell, Leclerc and Sainz could all fight for the championship if the 2022 regulations give us a much closer field.
think first or second year of new regs. after third there is a risk of a domination but the first two years will be very very close.
Next year will be so interesting with brand new cars and RB & Merc having to spend more this year to win. It's really a huge opportunity for one of the mid field teams to get off to a huge start if they nail the new car.

8:45 I wouldn't be that sure about Charles leaving Ferrari. It's clear that his connection with Ferrari is something unique that no other driver has to the respective team. He has a contract with Ferrari until 2024 and he already wants to extend it to 2026
Can't wait to see Alonso, looks like an young boy with future
Man. I think Gasly is going to make big moves in the next few years too
Amazing analysis. Great work!
The Previous Generation: the ones who all drove the V10's in anger.
I love the fact there were fans pointing out similarities between this season and 2005 when Fernando won his first title but also that 3 years after a 23 year old called Lewis Hamilton came in and nearly dominated so out of F2 it could be Piastri or Lawson dominating for the next years
IMO order for future gen is
1)Max
2)Gasly/Russel
3)LeClerc/Sainz
4)Norris/Albon
Personally, i think Max has advantage of experience and rbr is all in on him. In terms of driving itself, Gasly and Russel have shown a lot of caliber, LeClerc would be higher if not for his "extra pushes" that push him too far out of contention, Sainz is just a personal favourite who adapts amazingly well, Norris is a lil overrated and Albon is a lil underrated, I think both of Norris and Albon are on the same level.
You should make a video about the “Middle Gen” drivers (including Gasly, Ocon, Sainz) - considering them at their peak, assuming they have equal machinery, how would they stack up?
My order is
1 Verstappen
2 Leclerc
3 Russell
4 Sainz
5 Gasly
6 Norris

My list: Verstappen, Leclerc (makes some mistakes still), Russel, Norris, Sainz
@@NardKoning i mean in 2019 silverstone, the ferrari and RB were very close in performance with the Ferrari just a bit quicker and Leclerc put up a great fight against Verstappen who has had 3 more years of experience so I just rank them together, plus i think Leclerc is better at qualifying
@@thedailygrind8 that is true. I think Max has insane consistency now though. I hope we will get to find out for real :)
@@NardKoning Russell also does make mistakes, more often at race pace!
So both Leclerc & Russell MUST improve their race craft & not mistakes but their single pace lap is great.
Just the race pace & hence why, my order is like:-
1. Max
2. Lando
3. Leclerc
4. George
About the previous gen, I really don’t know where to qualify Button or Rosberg , definitely can be included in the old stars as they have 1 WDC like kimi. Less doubts considering Nico made it within Lewis dominance era. Wish I’d see those two race
7:12 "Daniel Ricciardo wins the ItalianGP!"
It's looking to be a fun couple of years, especially if the gen 3 hybrid plans work out right. And furthermore I'd call the likes of Gasly and Sainz absolutely in that mix with the right circumstances if those same rules land with a shake-up to the order that I can't really see happening with so much preparation by all sides
I think you forgot one of the best rookies Sir Mazepin when considering the next generation of drivers
Lots of talent, Let's hope next year cars are closer than ever
Well rip. Charles is in the middle Ferrari clownery. Lando is stuck in a shit McLaren. And Russell joined Merc right when they stopped winning.
You can thank simulator technologies improving over this time.these younger drivers have been growing up with sims.i have watched it unfold before my eyes.
Just look at max this season guys he is like a robot and so flawless. For me he is the best of the four Young guns by a mile.
nah id say leclerc is better, hes never had a car on par with either merc or rbr and yet has beaten lewis and max on several occasions
@@y.stackz3186 hahaha stop abusing drugs lol max will destroy charles
@@signalthefiringsquad3452 loooooool he needs a far better car to do so
@@y.stackz3186 look at max this season he is flawless and the best on the grid hè is owning Lewis. Charles makes to many mistakes and charles doesnt have the pressure what max have.and max is the quickest on the grid so saying charles will beat max is funny to say and pretty dumb
@@signalthefiringsquad3452 lewis is past his prime given the right car any of the young drivers could beat him, and just look what leclerc did in lower formulas where they all had the same car. ik you max and lewis fans think nobody can touch them but fact is fact and leclerc is better
Honestly, I can't think of a time when the F1 paddock was so stacked with talent as well as talent in reserve in F2.
I can. Virtually every single year. You see, nothing really changes. I have been watching F1 since I was six years old. Over the years I have noticed one common denominator over all the seasons: Lots of young drivers look really good and are ascribed a "great future" in F1, but out of ten promising talents from a particular age bracket only five end up winning races, and only two are ever champions.
For every Schumacher there is a Alesi, Panis and Nannini.
For every Alonso there is a Trulli, Fisichella and Kubica.
Jolyon Palmer was a great talent in F2/GP2 and won an easy F2 title. Much good that did him in F1. Stoffel Vandoorne utterly dominated his F2 title and won 7 races. Surely this would lead to good things in F1? Nope.
Hate to inform you of this but out of the late-90's born drivers, Verstappen, Leclerc, Russell, Norris, Stroll, Mick Schumacher, Mazepin, Ilott (Ferrari test driver and vice-F2 champion), only half will ever win a race and only two will ever be champion.
@@paulallen8109 yh.
How many careers were destroyed by the vettel, hamilton dominance of the 2010s.
Only one driver can win a wdc in a year, its a super exclusive club.
@@paulallen8109 Spot on! People here a bit naive in some way that all four of them are going to win a title XD
IMO it will be between leclerc and max for best and between lando and George for third
I had exactly the same thoughts like you. I think that Gasly is up there at the moment as well, but Alfa Tauri is unlikely to challenge unfortunately. Good analysis overall 👍
Gasly, in the right car and more importantly the right environment will surprise many.
I just want to see what russel can really do next year. 2022 is going to be an amazingly interesting year.... all the changes really do mean any one of 4 teams could have an edge depending on what theyve worked on the past couple of years...
mercedes, red bull, mclaren, ferrari.
Might seem far fetched.... but thats a lot of changes
I just hope that neither Mclaren, Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes have a strong enough package to be a top team in 22 or 23. I wanna see Seb vs Alonso one last time... Is this unrealistic... yes... But not Impossible XD
boring
Boring let the old men bow out
This video made me even more excited for the next season to come. Can't waittttt
23 23 23 21 ;)
And Alonso will not leave that early, he came for the 2022 regs, he will stay for a while
Great video bro as always! This really puts the next few years into perspective! ! Can’t wait
I hope Gasly will get a shot at Mercedes when Hamilton retires. Also Sainz has the ability to go toe to toe with Leclerc no doubt. He's a more mature driver in my opinion.
"In the next 2 years all of the 4 previous gen drivers would most likely gone from F1"
That hits hard man
