- Red Bull Is No Longer The Fastest Car In F1
The 2024 Spanish Grand Prix has concluded, with Max Verstappen winning despite being in a slower car. The fight was incredibly tight, featuring a close race between Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes. Lando Norris is frustrated with himself as the new fastest car is the McLaren. The question now is whether we will see this trend continue, and if Red Bull can bring upgrades to regain its lead. With the championship battle heating up, all eyes are on the upcoming races to see who will come out on top.

Fr my back hurts so much from carrying my team
breaking your back for the championship
Feeling sorry for you 😢🙏
Thank you goat
take a couple of races off that should make it better
What will you do next year that you won’t have Newey?
Russels start gave me goosebumps.🥶
was a beauty
@@F1Unchained fr!
What a turn 1!
Mega Start!
Yep. What a move. Despite no crashes or dnfs, it was an exciting race.
Without Max in that Red Bull there is no way it could’ve won. Max is the equalizer, he is inevitable…..
100%
Take max out n red bull are 3rd in constructors
Both Lewis and Alonso would have won every races max has won with redbull other drivers are not on the same level
Sorry it isn't about Max (don't get angry girlies Max is an amazing driver) it is about Perez
He can't pull anything out of this car it isn't that Max is doing something so special.
Silly RB signed him again
They are losing the constructors this year
@@eden5260 hahaha, okay bubba. I can see you don’t know much about racing, Perez was only good when the car was far superior to everyone else. It’s not like Perez got worse at driving. Please do more research into racing and driving techniques. If you want I can list off plenty of legendary F1 drivers and commentators to go listen too for more information. Have you never noticed the only people that say what you say are fans, none of the actual professionals think that way.
Forget the fastest car.. you are the fastest man out there to post a video analysing the whole race just after a few hours of the race. Props to you, man 👏🏼
❤️❤️❤️
Now we're really seeing how insanely good Max is. The last few races he has won is purely down to the Max Verstappen difference. Checo is still just a few tenths behind him, but with the field being so close Checo can't afford it, hence why he struggled in this race. Redbull no longer have the car as a failsafe
" The last few races he has won is purely down to the Max Verstappen difference."
LOL Perez is trash, and Lando is a master choker. Verstappen didn't "win" as much as Lando "lost."
@@TreyMotes Lando has kept it clean from those mistakes so far, Checo sure he has slumps. But saying that Checo is a bad driver is like saying Lewis is washed, it just doesnt make sense. Sure i dont think Checo merits a Redbull seat, but he 100% has a place in F1. And you don't really have any arguments here except you sound like an ass lol
Hats off to max this guy is just unbelievable
110%
the fact a guy managed to start from pole, drop down 2 positions in the first corner, lose the race on the fastest car and still got appointed driver of the day is just as unbelievable. not that it matters anything, but it was a weird voting criterion this one
@@valentinafuffa535he drove a brilliant race and brought out the best from his car. Max just managed his race whereas Lando tried to make it a race. His own team was thinking of Russel and he was aiming for Max and went for it. That made the entire race great to watch and follow. In football terms, he may not have scored but he was the playmaker
@@valentinafuffa535 I mean, some people think that the gap closing at the end is because of driver pace difference, but is because RB knows they have a 10s gap, the only thing that matters is to finish first, even if it's with 0.5s gap. Max just managed lap time until the end and saved tires.
McLaren has a fast car.
Max is still the best driver
agreed
You mean it's not Lewis this year you fan boys make me 🤣
Max is the only one with experience outside LH and Alonso. Lando just started racing at the front a few weeks ago.
RB and Max been doing it for years.
I think the perception that Max is performing miracles is based largely on the fact that Sergio Perez is in the other car. Don't get me wrong, he is the top dog right now without question but the glazing is a bit nauseating.
What are you on about @@Luke-en2tk
This season is really turning up
Red Bull still is a very fast car
Ferrari seems to have dropped slightly
Mercedes really jumped. Personally, i think the W15 has a lot of potential considering it's a new concept and they're already this fast.
McLaren looks like the best overall car.
All in all, I'm genuinely excited for this season.
Edit: That Russell start reminds me of 2007 Australia
It’s so exciting and great
Buddy said excited for the season as if we're not already nearly half way thru. Ik what u mean tho it's turning out to be a good season I think
Ohhh my my, yes for some reason that seemed very familiar now I realize why. Hamilton going round Alonso from P4. Thanks for the observation ❤
Red bull still very fast car lol meanwhile the other RB20 pace is similar to Alpine 😂
Mitigating mistakes is possibly the highest skill in today’s F1.
Redbull apparently had the best race pace but McLaren has better tyre deg thats why they always seem to catch up heavily at the end
They have the pace but longevity goes to McLaren which matters more in race
Where did you see the better race pace from Red Bull? Mclaren was the fastest all race
@@F1Unchainedtoday proved otherwise
@@sibbert1 Because Russell was a roadblock to George, otherwise...
@@user-ne3rb8ps8j max was pulling away in the middle and the beginning
Deffinitely Max should be the Driver of the Day but the voting audience favors Lando, I guess theres more Brits voting than any other nationalities, I like Lando but I dont see any reason why I should vote for Lando.
No it’s because hes the “underdog” fighting max. Lewis was rarely dotd
I'd vote for max but I'm on the west coast of US. And I sleep in. I just start the race after breakfast. Lol
Max masterclass once again. The Demoralizer 😂
It was a Masterclass
Verstappen is carrying the team. Perez finished 8th and nearly a minute behind Verstappen which is absurd. Since getting a two year contract extension, his performance has dropped off a cliff.
A case can be made that Norris was using his tires to try to close to Max vs. Max just saving tires. This seems more realistic since Max was never threatened by Norris to push harder.
Max wouldn't have pitted before Lando if he had the tires to do so in the 1st stint.
Nobody is letting that gap get so small if they can help it. At the end, it was so close that Max could not afford a single mistake. That is not what he wants. Ofc Max kept a little in the tank so that he could fight very hard when Lando would catch up, but he was driving it close to the limit.
Lando/Maclaren still needs to learn how to win. They have the car… but doesn’t have the full package yet. Experience running in the front and making the right decisions at critical times has been the difference for RedBull/Max the last several races.
Give it a few races and Norris will have win number 2
I fully agree
As a Max/Lando fan, definitely! :D I win either way
Next season.😊
It could be Austria as McLaren and Lando always runs good there
Something Ive noticed recently is that Max burns bright at the start of the race but fades towards the end, Lando starts with a slow burn before bursting into life later on in the race.
Thats why I dont understand the fastest car argument. Each car is better at different phases of the race.
I'm pretty sure he just doesn't push as much to save the mechanical parts
tire degradation and Lando struggled with traffic. Had Lando kept the lead he would have won it with a comfortable margin (I suspect at least 10 seconds).
@@janvisser4132 I don't think he would have won with a 10sec advantage but he may have won
you have to give credit to max. without max redbull is a midfield team
Absolutely a true champ
Only if you duplicated Perez as the other driver 🤣🤣
nah your overexagerating there, perez is just as bad as sargeant :D
They're still a top 2/3 team without Max. But with the cars being close and Max being so insanely good he still pulls off the wins
@@GhostonTH-cam201x the way he is driving now hard to argue with that, can't believe he is struggling so much
Well indeed we will have a WDC battle. Just not Max vs Leclerc as I expected. Good luck to Norris.
And the F1 youtuber WDC goes to you
will be fun to watcha and the second part made my day :)
Nah, max has a 79 points advantage and McLaren keeps making mistakes with the strategy. To have a WDC fight Lando must win like the next 10 races, which is just not gonna happen with a guy like max. Something really strange should happen, like a lot of DNFs or no point finishes for max
@@lucacastro119169 points. Though your point still stands
There is no title fight
@@lucacastro1191 yep, with the reliability of today's cars, there's no way Max is going to DNF more than a time or two, if that. And even if Lando starts to reel off win after win, Max would be right there in second place. So, it would be very difficult for Lando to make up 69 points. Now, the constructor's title might just be a different story.
so happy for lewis!!!!
had a very good race but a bad start
@@F1Unchained sadly same is true for norris
His start was actually better thn the top 4 in reaction time but his car in second gear had some problem picking up in the start thts the only reason he didn't get a good start
Really good video! Like your content and style :) Very informative. Loved the gap statistics chart. :)
McLaren have been the fastest car. It’s also crazy how I haven’t seen McLaren have weaknesses at any races since Miami they’ve been good everywhere. It’s really frustrating seeing Lando lose when he had everything working in his favor (pole and fastest car). If you put Max, Lewis, Fernando, Charles in that car, I think they would have won and even have won the last few races. I personally think Lando needs to get better because if he wants to contest for WDCs in the future, he has to be able to win not just get 2nd. Max has once again shown the difference between having a good driver in the fastest car and the fastest driver in a good car.
100% agree with what you’re saying
Disagree. Apart from the bad start what else do you expect from lando? That he changes the tyres of the car too when he is already tasked with making the teams strategy once again.
@@thomas-wm4rzffs, the drivers have a say in the strategy because they are driving the car. Every single driver went through the same process. Stop being stupid. Even Lando agrees that he fucked this race, through a lack of his own pace through different stages of the race and through the struggle of being stuck behind russell.
@@thomas-wm4rz He initiated the strategy to stay longer on his first stint if you look at the team radios. He didn’t want to pit when McLaren were telling him the gaps after he pitted. That’s his fault. It’s also his fault he had a bad start and bottled his pole. These are things you can’t do. I mean his car has been the fastest or close to the fastest for the last 5 races, put a lot of other drivers in that car and they would have gotten 5 poles and 5 wins. Lando isn’t a bad driver but he really cant be doing these sort of things.
@@thomas-wm4rz
1- Keep the lead at the start into turn 1
2- Pass Russel early in the race
3- Don't go and 'chase Max' when he can just pit and keep track position, he is the fastest on track. No need to make things more difficult for yourself
Max had to work hard for that one.
Still a happy life long mclaren fan
It’s lovely to see a great race
I read an interesting stat that said Max now has more wins than Lewis in the time frame of his career.
I'm excited for Baku and Singapore. Mostly, Singapore though. It seems like street tracks are their kryptonite. Especially this season where the Red Bull car isn't as strong anymore. Honestly, Austria should be interesting considering kerbs are important there.
I honestly think now that every track will be close
Redbull is now in a Situation they werent in for the last 3 ½ years . And with newey now gone they have to prove that they really understand these regs and turn this car around . I mean they know how to build a good car in this ground effect era obviously they should know what they need to do in order to fix their issues . And for me their biggest issue isnt curb riding but ouutright pace and tyre wear , both areas where the RB 19 absolutely dominated compared to the RB20. Redbull cant rely on a max on steroids to win them these races because at some point even max wont be able to win these races . The job is now on the team under the lead of waché . Lets see how things are going to look in silverstone where the spain upgrade should be completed. The drivers Championship is probably still in the bag for redbull but the Constructors definetely not . Redbull can be happy to finish 3rd in the constructors if checo continues with these horrendous Performances. the completion of the Upgrade in silverstone HAS TO help the RB20 or they will see a lando norris winning with a 20 sec margin . Nice video as always btw 👌👍
Very true and this new Red Bull upgrade will be super important
I love your technical commentary. I am an aerospace at Boeing. I understand your lingo and I eat it up.
makes me so happy to hear that :)
Mclaren strategy really didn't help them today, 6 laps extra on that 1st stint. If it had been 2 or 3 then lando would have been much closer they left it too long and gained nothing.
Absolutely
@F1Unchained I should really watch the video before commenting and said they same. I thought that during the race!!
One team that has been going backwards since the beginning of the season after upgrades is Ferrari. 😂
You forget Aston they are goign backwards too xD, but yes their upgrades are not clearly the best, i think they need more data and in silverstone they will bring last parts of this upgrade package so we will see if those upgrades work only together or not working at all...as a ferrari fan it is frustrating to see them like this but that is motorsport.
To me, I think the reason why McLaren hasn't upgraded their car is because the upgrades might mess up with how the car is. Look at everyone who has brought upgrades. Everyone except the mercs have moved forward
one more "upgrade" and we will watch Mclaren vs Mercedes for win and Ferrari fighting for the points with Checo struggling to get to Q2
Max is the best driver he is carrying his team so much but Mclaren is the best car so if I think about it Max at McLaren means that it would be just as dominant as 2023(great vid btw)
Kinda embarrasing for Merc getting beaten by their customer team if you think about it
Not a great look but there coming back
"A customer team" means that some parts are bought from Mercedes (like Haas is a Ferrari customer team). But aero parts on top and under the car have a insane part in how the car performes and treats its tyres. So its very normal that there can be a big gap. In F1 the speed comes from the sum of all parts, the driver and the decisions from the team. These things are so complicated and that is what I love most about F1. Have a great day mate.
So it's only now you're realizing this?
Stupidest comment! 💯
McLaren has been an F1 team way longer than Mercedes has.
All Mercedes does is provide suspension, gearbox and power unit.
McLaren is a well-oiled machine for decades.
The W15 is a new concept, the Mclaren is a carryover from last year's car. The W15 will be the fastest car in the 2nd half of the season.
This time on F1Z Jesus recaps Max carrying Redbull while Lando reverts to Nowins form! Pewis snitches out Toto as Osama Bin Russell bottles his great start and Williams continues to be awful!
😁❤️❤️🤣
I feel Lando got DOD is cause some fans aren’t convinced that the RB isn’t still the best car, a little RB hangover perhaps. It’s clear McLaren have made significant strides in being able to compete for the championship. They have surpassed or at the least, are on par with Merc and Ferrari, works teams. McLaren have blown by AM, who appears to have stalled badly in their performance. It’s fair to say AM are not going to improve, they had that early start last year, but that’s been it. It’s really been a downward trend for them ever since. Don’t expect to see any improvement for the AM team till Honda arrives with their works engine.

Thank you my friend ❤️❤️
*Hats off to Max, Lando and George for their latest performance!*
Additional shout-out to Gasly and Zhou for doing better than expected.
_Seems like there is a lot of improvement going on this season, and I'm all for it!_
How the hell did Lando get DOTD? He bottled P1 with the fastest car.
Yeah I don’t get it
@@F1Unchained I just want to say thank you for all the videos. I'm really enjoying it. Keep up the good work.

Glad we already have more unique winners than 2023
It’s great
I’m just glad somebody is at least giving RedBull some what of a fight… unlike last year when it was the RBs by about 2 hours 😂
Why didn't Max drive the 2023 RB-19 in Imola I wonder? It was almost perfect in every way. Besides Singapore it was a perfect car. It rode the kerbs great and had an overall advantage. They could learn from it for sure.
Is anyone going to mention how much Sky Sports just hate showing Red Bull. They are dedicated to catching every team during the race except Red Bull. Even when when Max is leading. How about when he starts lapping traffic? They just don’t cover him.
Sky Sports doesn't have control of any of that. The broadcasts around the world all share the same feed provided by Liberty.
2024 has already been the best season since 2021 in my opinion
This team should be call verstappen team racing not red bull racing.
Leclerc drove great we cant over look that. After his pit stop, which should've been better, he was a long way back and caught up to Russell at the end
Yes if there was 2 more lap he could have beat Russell .
I've been saying this, it's been like this since Miami. No arguing it, every weekend on pure pace mclaren have been fastest. They struggled in imola on firing up tyres and Canada was just a tough race. But Lando seriously should've won more than 1 of these last 5 races. If you have max/lewis/charles in that mcl, without a shadow of a doubt they would've won minimum 4/5 of the last few races, although a wise(and fast) man once said if ur mum had balls she'd be ur dad.
Our man growing his hair in prep for the 50k subs celebration John Wick dressup
Hannah Schmitz also has to given a lot of credit
Don’t forget Max had NEW softs for the last pit while Lando had scrubbed softs Pretty important
Very important
That's correct, but at the start, it was the other way around: VER started on used softs and NOR on new softs. RBR was aware of the softs would degradate less than expected and imo this was a decisive move of their strategy team.
But Max pitted earlier... throughout the last stint, their tires were the same age.
yeah, but Lando's softs were only 2 laps old, and he got them 2 laps later than Max. So essentially they had the same tires.
This season is evolving into one of the best I've ever seen. I have high hopes for competitiveness in 2024 & 2025
NEW F1UNCHAINED VIDEO LETS GOOOO
😁❤️❤️
Absolutely crazy when you think how far ahead Red Bull was at the start last year and stopping development early for the RB20 and Max saying in testing how the RB20 is even better than the RB19. Of course the RB20 is faster than the RB19, but they paid it with the problems they have now and McLaren being even faster now than the RB20, yeah, I would have never believed that even with the wind tunnel time for being 1st.
Max on the backfoot... is P1. It just shows how well he drives and how the team behind works. Max and Red Bull always do the right thing at the right moment... its like they have a crystal ball or something.
It's looking very much possible that Lando will get a win in Austria given how good he and his car is right now and RedBull might again struggle with Car Setup
Would love a video talking about lewis… yes i am a fanboy but the fact that he out qualified george throughout all of qualifying and got his first podium is definitely a topic for conversation. That and racing bulls and astons poor performance would be a fun video…
4:46 - Lando didn't have a tyre advantage over Max, as Lando's were used softs at the end (having started on fresh), whilst Max's were fresh (having started on used).
All of this will help max become an even better driver And truly show what skills he has!!!??
True but he’s already so complete
@@F1UnchainedMax’s advantage over Norris is that he’s used to being put under extreme pressure, racing against the superior Mercedes for alot of the turbo hybrid era, he’s also already experienced an extremely close title fight, he knows when its time for elbows out hard racing and how to handle being pushed by another driver. For Norris, it’s really more of a new experience and he will have to learn how to handle the pressure of racing a multiple world champion driver like Max in nearly equal machinery.
Some serious flex in that Merc rear wing
I’m up in the air on this. Red Bull definitely seems to be able to turn the tires up better than McLaren. McLaren, talking about Lando seems to really have better pace on tire wear over Max in long runs in every race it’s been close with those two. Personally I’d say the cars are very damn close. But the strengths of the two are opposites to each other
Mate, what a driver max is… being able to controll a gap while being hunted is amazing. That mclaren since Imola is something else.
This is the difference between Max WC vs Lando. Max not driving at the edge knowingly it's his championship to loose if he made a mistake. On the other hand Lando has nothing to loose. Look at the way LH drives vs Russell & also how Max drives now compare to 2021. Lando has nothing to loose at the closing stages. LH is so far behind.
yo, where did u buy those f1 miniatures at the back? :)
Amazon :)
Lando getting stuck behind Russell ruined his race. Russell was just fast enough to stay ahead while allowing Max to build the gap
Both Mercedes really although George did fight him more. Definitely hurt lando tyres a bit.
Couldn't wait any longer for this!
I tried :)
And you are doing a fantastic job at it! Many thanks!!
Great race win from Max👍
Lewis speaks up...... all of sudden there is a Podium🤔
Ye 3-4 the car was fast
And they had equal pace whole weekend
Also George’s advantage before was minor
Lewis only got ahead because of strategy and a loss of 3.5 seconds compared to Lewis in the pits
@@tgnl2222 You are correct. Also Russell got off to a tremendous start. But also Lewis could’ve had a podium last race . If it were for better strategy and tire selection . Those hards were not got going anywhere
@@leninmercedes6567yes merc been much better lately so at least it means closer battles
Hope my comment did not sound malicious 😅
It's because George had a slow pitsop and was put on hards. Otherwise he would've lost to George again. Not a good look
There was a time during the middle of the 2011 season when McLaren was faster than Red Bull. Vettel made up the difference until the upgrades arrived. I have a feeling Max is going to do the same thing for Red Bull this year.
Mclaren is just Bahraini Ferrari at this point.
Lando shouldn't be doing the strat in the car. What's the point of hiring strategists in that case?
Lando's "we should have won" is such an L take.
Ruth Buscome said it best, "The race was lost into t1, another strat would not have won lando the race"
If you believed that you had the pace to win, you would mirror the strat with a small delta, you would not throw a hail mary at the race
Letting lando do the strat in the car results in you strategising for a race that exists in another reality
Granted, someone who's dad spent millions to get him into f1, living in reality, and taking an L, are probably not ever going to be his character attributes
The mercs were FAST! LETS GO.
Finally great racing between all the cars.
For what its worth, i havent lost an F1 bet since i started watching this channel
I mean, this time even Lando said that they had the fastest car. Max did what had to be done in the time that it must be done. He is showing a superb racecraft and showing why he is a WDC.
Put Alonso Or Lewis Into That MCL38 and they would probably do better than Lando And Oscar
I'm not sure of Alonso,he barely beating stroll
@@nikhil8650he’s driving soapbox, 2023 demonstrated what he can do In a competitive car
@@nikhil8650 at the beginning of the season there was half a grid between them
And at the BBC forum of F1 they still called it boring. But MacLaren is getting closer and closer to Red Bull. Maybe not this year but next!!!
Bias… the sport is in a great spot
@@F1Unchained Like last race. And it only means the rest of this year will be even better but Verstappen has to this year (I am Dutch) but next year it will be Lando!
As it stands right now, the RB is somewhere around the 2nd to 4th fastest car. Merc and Ferrari seem to be pretty equal rn, maybe Merc has a slight advantage there. Everybody has a opinion about Checo, but hell, he was never a bad driver, so he should be at least near what the car is, mixed with his bad qualifying.
Both Lando and Max are making the difference for their teams. The car is on par now with the Redbull, and it’s exposing their inefficiencies. A mistake at the start and bad pit stops cost Lando the race today. Mercedes are close behind and on par with Ferrari so that should be fun to watch. And Perez is now on par with Alpine. Don’t know if that’s good news or bad news; I’m not sure fighting with Ocon is much better than Magnussen.
The pitstops by mclaren have been so average this year
Mclaren should have stopped lando when George had that bad stop, Lando would be P2 easily and could focus in hunting Max.
Bad call by them.
Adrian really messed up this year... Probably good he's going 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Russell and Hamilton started on used softs and still kept up the the top cars.
Looking forward to what they bring the rest of ‘24 and next season!
Seems like the constructor's title is more up for grabs than the driver's. I think Lando wins more races this season, but he'd really have to go on a huge tear to make it a fight because Max is at worst going to finish second if/when Lando wins. So it will be difficult for Lando to catch Max even if Lando starts winning more races than Max. However, with Perez not contributing much, it's Max against Lando and Piastri. Oscar had a rough week, but generally he's finishing ahead of Perez by enough of a margin that one can invision McLaren catching RedBull in the constuctor's.
As I watch the development of Norris since his F1-start I like what he makes out of himself right now. And McLaren nearly on the top since a long time is also awesome to watch, I love that season!
A combination of a poor start and poor strategy by McLaren cost them a race win imo. Obviously getting passed by GR and MV was not ideal but it was always a possibility. I don't think they had a strategy that matched that scenario. For a while it looked like they were considering a 1 stop even. At the time I said they should pit LN early and use the undercut to get him back his track position. Then they should have just matched RB's second pit stop and made it a straight fight to the end. I don't think he would have been 8 or 9 seconds behind after the second pit stop and he certainly wouldn't have had to pass anyone before getting after Max. To be honest I think he would have been ahead after the 2nd stop anyway and would just have driven slowly away to the win. I feel they don't have confidence yet in the car that it has genuine RB beating speed and able to manage tyre wear really well.
Listen a title fight is great but no title fight will ever be as close as 2021
I think indeed redbull indeed has stalled with where they want to go.mercs are gettign there and im thankful
That was almost all Max. Although some perfect strategy and pitstops made it work.
Idk if Mercedes would have a 5-6s gap to max or Redbull. They are 0.250s off the pace that off Max and Lando.
It’s was a lot of traffic and Lewis in clean air was quick
Race for Lando was lost being stuck behind Russell in the first stint while Max checked out
If Oscar had of qualified in the top 5 he would have come 3rd and Lando needs to be more comfortable as he always stuffs the start on pole
👍👍👍

People forgot to notice that Max races in clean air often. And thats a big advantage. Look at Lando in clean air. I suspect if Lando got the start well and was out front that he would have finished much further ahead than Max did. Anyway
I would argue P2 having the inside negates the P1 forward starting position
Max had pace in hand. No need to win by 1 minute when winning by 2 seconds puts less strain on engine/tires.
This may be a stupid question, but if designing a bigger undercut on cars is a significant upgrade that many teams are improving on, how do they not start with one? Like I obviously am not an engineer, but how come it takes so long to perform a simple concept
It’s not always the fastest route for teams. McLaren arguably have a smaller undercut but look what they achieve. It depends on the base of the car but Red Bull has always been focused around that undercut
can we get a breakdown on am? gutted for fernando yet again, why cant they put something good together for him in his home gp? i want to know what they keep getting wrong and how do prospects look for them in the next two seasons
Give max that McLaren and see what happens with the rest of the pack..It will be 2023 all over again. If the RB can look after the tyres that McLaren does then i doubt Lando would be closing down like he does at the end of the past races.
Norris has to realize that not all races will have a safety car because Sargeant is on the grid. He should have pitted the lap after Max instead of wasting time for another 5 laps hoping for a safety car.
May be a little premature to say McLaren have the best car because either Ferrari or Red Bull could be the best after a couple of races when they fully optimise their new upgrades.
Lando was also on used softs apparently for his 2nd stint
Max has been in F-1 since he was 17 With 60+ wins you learn a few tricks about how to bring a car home, even when it isn't the quickest.
Maybe this will be a repeat of 2021 where the rb is fast on the first half then after the summer break merc is so fast that RB cannot match them in terms of pace. Im hoping that RB will be strong again after the summer break 😅
Time for a quick technical directive to restore order. We can't have this.
