Guys if you want to see THE DRIVING TECHNIQUES, and HOW & WHERE Max was actually finding lap time, I put this video together just now: th-cam.com/video/wQTE02SM_r0/w-d-xo.html Ask me a question or a thought in the comments section! Please see below areas where Max got EXTREMELY FORTUNATE 😄 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Max's Mindset & Self Belief 03:05 Max's Start 04:28 Max's Race Craft 05:29 Max's Tyre Management 06:33 Max's Strategy 07:41 Max's Restart 08:25 Max's Lap Times 09:10 Max's Consistency 09:45 Conclusion
Ayrton Senna said it best "You cannot overtake 15 cars in sunny weather…but you can when it's raining." The fact Max finished 1st from P17 and +30s before Lando who started P1 says everything.
The Great Ayrton Senna in Donington Park with his inferior McLaren [ 1.5 slower than the Alain Prost Williams by Adrian Newey, in April 11 1993, in GP of Europe, [ His first lap has a commemorative plate there] in lap 25 lap every body. He won by more than a minute. Genius. Max make a very very great race, close to the same caliber.
@@joseavsWhere Max didnt have the fastest car, in difficult situation, under pressure by everyone (press, drivers, fans) he showed his class on exactly that moment
What amazed me was that Max was the only title contender who didn't make any mistake despite all the pressure that was building up from, sprint race penalty, race qualifications, and finally, grid penalty. what a beast!
Not just no mistakes. He toyed with everyone, by setting fastest lap after fastest lap... He's just finishing up sidequests while others are only halfway through the main game.
Even above his driving skills is his metal toughness. I have never witness any sportsman withstanding so much pressure and never buckle. You just can not get to him. What a diamond!
one thing i've noticed with max for quite a while is how easily he's able to pass through the pack when starting from lower grid positions, it's just effortless, spa 2022, jeddaj 2023,miami 2023 and this race.
In few turns he was ahead of Perez. There was a moment the commentator thought the Red Bull car was Perez, because how could Max be there already? Only after he looked closer then he corrected it lol
Brutal conditions, everyone was struggling and making mistakes, Alonso, Hami, Charles, Russell, lando many times, Perez spun. Sainz off..The difference in him and the rest of the grid was astounding, he didn't make any mistakes and had so many overtakes. and not in the fastest car. no DRS.honestly this is the greatest drive ever. what other drive was better? Started p17, got 17 fastest laps. 62nd win of his career; 62 points gap at the top after this race. Brazil on the 30th year of Senna Anniversary. Who delivers? MAX VERSTAPPEN. The greatest to ever do it.
@randomchicken0490 George drove really well i agree. He and the team pitted incorrectly though - doesn't sound like it was his call hey? Im a big George fan
@lowerlaptime Honestly it's very annoying that Mercedes chose to ignore him when he specifically said that it was going to be a red flag and that they should stay out multiple times. They lost out on a victory, 100%. Max was ready to settle for p2 when he was behind Ocon, he would've done the same if George was infront and George doesn't f*ck up SC restarts.
I became a super-fan of Max after I saw the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2016. Max passed one car after another, and I remember thinking that he was going to fly right over the track, and nothing happened. He just continued passing cars. Unbelievable Max. He is the greatest. Thank you for your honest analysis.
Yeah but Lando’s comments it’s pure luck not a skill at all. I don’t know why he’s not convinced Max performance., probably if it was Bearman or Colapinto I might agree with him but to Max? No! That was a flawless performance and pure talent a Masterclass in wet weather conditions by Max.
@johnnytampocao7671 he never said Max's drive was luck, he said timing of the vsc and sc are luck and can change a race momentum depending on timing. He congratulated max on socials, yall take everything without context that lame media throws at you
from UK ,,,, superb MAX... Bravissimo. Excellence shines and is inspirational from whatever driver or country and needs to be recognised as such. (I am an Ferrari Fan).
Max is not just talented and skilled he is also as focused as can be and he is a constant thinker he is as detail orientated as it gets he is as cool as it gets and he’s just brilliant. To say he found his calling is a massive understatement.
He started 17th and ended the race almost 20 seconds ahead of the field. Just imagine if he had actually been able to do a flying lap in qualifiers and started somewhere in the first 5 positions. He would've lapped everyone.
Max wanted to embarrass the FIA and the biased press yesterday. His radio communication with GP shows how GP was telling Max to chill and Max had no chill until the last lap. 😂
I remember Verstappen during training in Francorchamps in the wet when he was just new to F1 and he recovered something seemingly unrecoverable in the double left with a breeze. Then I knew he was the real deal. Being able to react without thinking, incredible.
He just shows time and time what it takes to be a chmpion look at lewis look at max look at seb look at alonso they have one thing in common that is the proper execution of the skills they have learnt key to success is excution that is what makes a driver a champion🎉
Yep, Norris makes too many unforced errors. Imagine he actually hit the wall in Singapore, with such a giant lead. I don't know if it is a lack of concentration, but he should not make such mistakes when in the fastest car. Lewis never did, Max never did. Max was absolutely perfect in 2023, because he did not need to give it 110%. His mistakes come, just like with Lewis in 2021, when he is under pressure and no longer in the fastest car. Again: Norris does make such mistakes. Unless Lando gets the best car by far, he will not become WDC anytime soon. If anything, Oscar may take that title next year, when he has matured a bit more.
I read somewhere that Max anticipated the red flag with his team. In such conditions that seems more than plausible to me, quite obvious really. To call that luck and not talent, while having asked for new tyres yourself, is fairly telling.
@Kaimax61 no it wasn't That was the plan fia had To have the car rolling on the track to push the water off the track while it's raining heavily then when it eases have th3 safety car come out Or else they would have red flagged it instantly rather than throwing a safety car
The funniest comments of the weekend came from Max,, In the podium press conference Max asked Where is the British media,, I guess they had to catch a flight., .. and also in the cooldown room.. As they were watching the replay screen Max goes I didn’t even see him meaning Checo..
Great video. I thought you also added in your previous video that his short corners allowed him easier cornering and his braking kept his tires warmer (radiating energy) to keep his tires with more grip. This explained why Lando with a better car/larger downforce (but colder tires?) and longer corners (less grip) was not able to replicate this performance. But the big add in this video is that max is just so mentally strong - he does not let pundates "Max is out of control" views live in his head and keeps focussed.
It makes sense. Drivers who put more load on their outside rear tire are surely more likely to spin when they hit a pool of water, or deviate slightly from the tracks left on the racing line. (Or touch the white painted line due to a wider arc when turning in).
Truely an EPIC drive. One not only for the history books, but as a Master Class in driver training. I know he is not well liked, but he is not there to make friends. This drive will have to create the respect he deserves.
Why would anyone question the driver that comes from p17 to 20 seconds ahead when the organization is trying to defeat them as being the real champion?
He always had to drive on slicks when it rained. This is the way his father 'jos' learned him at a young age to get the right feeling. Somehow he managed to develop the talent to find grip even if there isn't any according to most of the drivers Thats pure talent
Excellent appraisal and review! I'm so stoked you have mostly abandoned "Cameron speak"..let him have that..do your own thing! You're much better being you!
Ahaha. We're all finding our way - Cameron didn't invent the english language either :) Ill be on with him soon to disect further :) Appreciate the love :)
@@lowerlaptimeHowever Cameron is reinventing words which most of us have no idea of their meaning. For example, can you explain "techie" as he chooses to use it!
Just discovered you in the video of Cameron…. Love you’re detailed knowledge about racing(I love racing, MotoGP, f1, endurance). Thanks for the teaching.
People mention Brasil 2016, but even before that, he showed he is special in the rain. In only his second qualifying experience in F1, in Malaysia 2015 in his Torro Rosso, during almost monsoon conditions, he qualified 6th!! That was a sign of things to come.
In Max's case he's drawing on his 2016 knowledge... but.. it's about trying sometimes as well. In 2016 under the safety car you see max SEARCHING around to feel different parts of the race track, almost like a dog sniffing for information. That's how Max knows and how he finds out. Check out my pinned comment for more.
Great post race review. I think Max has made it clear he means business for last 3 races. If Max in Vegas just places in front of Norris - he will be 4 time World Champion . Viva Las Vegas next race. I live in California- would go to race but unfortunately the big hotels buy up all tickets and make you buy a package from them: room, seats $5,000 person low end. Or just a ticket $1500 . Since it is night race I will watch on tv as get better all around view of race. I have been to Austin, and Hockenheim 2018. But in US after Covid tickets are crazy expensive. Sad because I would go. Cheaper to fly to Europe and watch race than go in Us.
If you look at the on-board cam of Max during the start, you see that he starts from 2nd gear. Update: just saw more starts from driver cams, seems all the drivers started from 2nd gear.
One of the Dutch analysts former racecar driver Jan Lammers, mentioned this as well, saying that was the best thing to do considering the circumstances.
The fact that Max knows how to handle a racecar in the wet is because his dad (the demon everyone hates) taught him how to handle a racecar in the wet. Sometimes with a carrot and sometimes with a stick. Nothing wrong with that (I'm Dutch, maybe we are tougher than the snowflakes who think Jos was a bad father).
Max is one of the few that can give really valuable information about the car to the engineers. Most drivers just complain about the tires, oversteering, understeering, or brakes. Then they need to rely solely on the engineers to make the changes and adjustments.
No longer the fastest car, but he clearly is the fastest driver out there right now.. What a masterclass, but also Ocon and Gasly out smarted mclaren and ferrari.. They drove a good race and props to ocon to not repeat a certain year in brasil. 👍
Mclaren and Lando was totally oblivious about Max because he was starting at the back. Their strategy was to cover George Russel, after he jumped Lando at the start and led the race. McLaren only realized that they made a mistake when both Redbull of Max and Alpine drivers stayed out. When max led the race, McLarens did not have any answers and Lando started to fold and commited several mistakes because Max pulled a Maxterclass race from start to finished and the rest as they say, is history.😂
Often in corners, there's more grip off the line. Max realised that with the new surface, this wasn't the case in Brazil. Plus he clearly had a car that he could trust.
WOW!! Max Verstappen never stops amazing me!! Some say he was lucky with that red flag, but he made that decision to stay out, while Lando came in for new tyres. But even if he pitted he would've win it. 17 fastest laps, continuesly 1,5 sec faster then anybody else.
To put it in perspective in sport there is talent ,you are good or you are bloody brilliant on a diffrent level that is Max ,the rest is good witch includes Norris😅😅😅😅😅
Were it the words of Lando, that "Should have Max started from pole, he would have doubled all of us". Correct me if I'm wrong. Apart from that, I really like it, that (although obviously British, more likely even English) you don't have this negative attitude at Max as a lot of (British) drivers, papers and even officials. I didn't hear much of criticism by those people, when in 2021, I believe, Hamilton drove Max off at 300+ km/h at Silverstone and not even asking if he was OK. And then the last race of that season: Obviously Lewis Hamilton should have become world champion, but than again, Max made the most of a discutable decision of the, what'd you call it, race principal? The guy who was fired later. Of course, he often searches for the limits, but isn't that what all drivers should do? Remains the question whether all drivers are searching for the same limits. I doubt that. Here in 2024 we saw about the same 'pushing the limits' as he did in 2016 ("...this boy finds grip anywhere..."; according to some commentator; I don't know his name.) Fine job! Greetings from Netherland. (Sic; no 's'.)
Was the bib fixed throughout the race? Were the rear brakes minus the spring and bearing? The FIA scrutineer was celebrating with the Red Bull team in the pits and he wasn't even Michael Masi. Strange.
It was not crashing into anyone whilst advancing through the grid and the rest of the race thus potentially not taking himself out with other drivers . Congrats
Super Max! On a sarcastic note to Norris, let’s list the luck Max had: 1. A Dubiously timed red flag in Q2, and staring 17th on the grid. 2. The number of overtakes Max had v/s Norris because other drivers whom he overtook were just unlucky with rain letting Max overtake. 3. Max was lucky to keep his car perfectly aligned on the track and lucky not to have any spins and swerves on the track where as other contenders were unfortunately unlucky to keep their cars on the track. 4. Max was lucky to have his RB team and the entire universe as a supportive force that aligned with him, especially in forecasting rains and assessing drivability. Again Max was lucky that they didn’t make a mistake to pit early. Other teams were not lucky with no support from nature and universe.
Excellent breakdown of how Max drove a masterclass drive in Brazil. You would think smart people (drivers) would look back at his drive in 2016??? Oh well I guess they are not smart enough, and would not be able to drive as Max did on both occasions. Martin- what are your thoughts on McClaren ( Norris) taking a new ICE before end of season? Would be 10 places for Norris? Also- I think that Marlo - explained a few races ago in Mexico. That Max was 10-12 kmh slower than Norris on straights, and that they were in need of a new ICE. It did and has paid off for Max. So is it in the cards for McClaren for a new ICE? It is game over for Norris anyways with WDC.
I saw Max taking tighter lines and clipping curbs during the race; why would that impact downforce and the different way in which it's generated by the floor though? 🤔
Its basically saying that "I dont value minimum speed and wider lines to keep downforce alive" ie these cars generate a lot of downforce in the upper speeds but not much in the low end. So therefore Max values more shortening the circuit a bit and finding cleaner, less- rubbered in traction zones. Good question see my pinned comment for more.
@lowerlaptime Ohh okay, so Max is actually trading the greater downforce generating wider arcs in the slow corners, for tighter lines where the better traction is on the circuit? And the downsides of that strategy are less significant because in general, these cars generate less downforce at lower speeds..? Edit: just watched your new video, looks like the better exits allow for higher downforce in the following mid/high speed corners as well.
This was Max driving with vengeance. There is no way an objective person can look at his performance and not come to the conclusion that he is a tier above everyone else on the grid. Above Lando, Piastri, LeClerc, Sainz, Russell, Hamilton, and Alonso. He’s cemented his position with the likes of Senna and Michael now.
Mate excellent information! 2 questions for u: who wouldve won the gp without the red and who wouldve won the gp without the last yellow? I reckon Ver and Oco instead of Rus or Nor and Ver.
Thank you! 1 - Probably Max hey. Champions find a way. If it wasn't red it would have been safety car? Max can then leverage more restart skills. And ultimately he's keeping the tyres alive. He's got too many weapons to play with 2 - Not sure what you mean RE last yellow sorry!
Excellent view on matters as they are. Not a single mistake from Max, a heap of mistakes of Lando, a very good race of Ocon. Max, on top of a very high mountain, others (including Lando) halfway the mountain. Where absolute excellence is proven, where ‘close but not close is obvious. However, Max is not there yet. Few more races to go. Lando was very disappointed direct after the race (who wouldn’t) he will be on realistic ground today. It is quite clear, he isn’t ready to defeat Max (yet). Lando might be better than the rest but hasn’t the the touch of the magister. Max and Lando in equal cars, it will be Max over and over again, and that doesn’t take away anything of the very high skills of Lando.
Lol Max approach to corners is well known, it's just not as easy to adjust too and Max will always be more experienced with it. Max was already driving under wet conditions in his go kart when he was 7! doing laps at 50mph on wet tracks. Most countries don't allow their youngest drivers drive under such dangerous conditions.
Before this race it appeared that Red Bull car led by Max Verstappen was not fast enough for the last few races. What went wrong and what were the correction introduced in the Red bull car? Were Verstappen/Red Bull making errors in those races where he lost?
OMG, and the poor Lady Hamilton had to (according to the Commentators) fight with one hand behind his back etc. etc. Seems like he is the only one who had to run the race in a Porsche Cup car.
I just wonder why did no other driver try the lines Max was Driving. If it is only that, why did Sergio Perez not do this. Because he can't or because his car is setup differently ?

Well Senna was wrong as Kimi Raikkonen did this in 2005 Japan GP.

Just when F1 was sagging in popularity, Max elevates it to the stratosphere. F1 is back!
What a legend Max is
In India, we have a blade called "Super Max". Verstappen was super sharp in Brazil.
Lol 😄 thanks for sharing
I call him Maxibon after the ice cream. These type of wins are super sweet.
He started 17th and ended the race almost 20 seconds ahead of the field. Just imagine if he had actually been able to do a flying lap in qualifiers and started somewhere in the first 5 positions. He would've lapped everyone.
finally this is the channel i was looking for . perfect explanation and good analysis , great video mate.
The day before i hoped/dreamed he would overclass his own drive from 2016 by winning this race from 17th. And he did. What a driver.
Was hoping it was going to rain… the wet separated the god tier driver with the rest of the mortals.
Love Max more as the underdog because he shines far more than p1 start p1 finish
Awesome analysis, BUT, you forgot that also the track was resurfaced, makes it even more incredible.
Max is premium quality. Impressive 👌
MY GOODNESS, THAT WAS FREAKING CRAZYYY 🔥🔥🔥
Max wanted to embarrass the FIA and the biased press yesterday. His radio communication with GP shows how GP was telling Max to chill and Max had no chill until the last lap. 😂
And maybe GP's remarks for Max to chill calmed him down just enough not to make the blunders all the others were making 🙂
And now reality vs fantasy (check it out don't take my words for granted) GP to Max on the radio : 'And that's how you silence your critics'

Yeah 100% chances would definitely go up with everyone on old inters and a lot more rain. They team are different level
Lando wanted to come in when his team wanted him to stay out. That doesn't suggest Max was lucky but instead it suggests Lando is not strategic.
Except the red flag was not coming if France hadn’t crashed
@@Hamfredlec No, Colapinto just made it faster, but the Rain was going to be worst for a few minutes that it might get Red Flagged either way.

He's definitely lucky to have Jos as a father, being good in the wet just runs in the family!
Probably not so lucky for the guy who had to endure Jos as an innocent kid though..
You forget about his mother, she was a very fast gokart driver. With a genepool like that you become the best of a generation F1 drivers.

That guy has a limited vernacular that gets extremely repetitive after a while.
Ahaha. We're all finding our way - Cameron didn't invent the english language either :) Ill be on with him soon to disect further :) Appreciate the love :)
@@lowerlaptimeHowever Cameron is reinventing words which most of us have no idea of their meaning.
For example, can you explain "techie" as he chooses to use it!
Agree Nothing to add
@@TheRealMichaelAndretti Yeah no idea, but I got tired of the clickbait so I had another reason to unsub anyway.
Just discovered you in the video of Cameron….
Love you’re detailed knowledge about racing(I love racing, MotoGP, f1, endurance). Thanks for the teaching.
Awesome, thank you!
People mention Brasil 2016, but even before that, he showed he is special in the rain. In only his second qualifying experience in F1, in Malaysia 2015 in his Torro Rosso, during almost monsoon conditions, he qualified 6th!! That was a sign of things to come.
i understand that the best drivers always know where the grip is but what i want to know is
1. How do they know?
2. When do they find it out?
In Max's case he's drawing on his 2016 knowledge... but.. it's about trying sometimes as well. In 2016 under the safety car you see max SEARCHING around to feel different parts of the race track, almost like a dog sniffing for information. That's how Max knows and how he finds out. Check out my pinned comment for more.
great video!
Great post race review. I think Max has made it clear he means business for last 3 races. If Max in Vegas just places in front of Norris - he will be 4 time World Champion . Viva Las Vegas next race. I live in California- would go to race but unfortunately the big hotels buy up all tickets and make you buy a package from them: room, seats $5,000 person low end. Or just a ticket $1500 . Since it is night race I will watch on tv as get better all around view of race. I have been to Austin, and Hockenheim 2018. But in US after Covid tickets are crazy expensive. Sad because I would go. Cheaper to fly to Europe and watch race than go in Us.
Sorry to hear!
Thanks for you nice podcast
If you look at the on-board cam of Max during the start, you see that he starts from 2nd gear.
Update: just saw more starts from driver cams, seems all the drivers started from 2nd gear.
One of the Dutch analysts former racecar driver Jan Lammers, mentioned this as well, saying that was the best thing to do considering the circumstances.
The fact that Max knows how to handle a racecar in the wet is because his dad (the demon everyone hates) taught him how to handle a racecar in the wet. Sometimes with a carrot and sometimes with a stick. Nothing wrong with that (I'm Dutch, maybe we are tougher than the snowflakes who think Jos was a bad father).
Max is one of the few that can give really valuable information about the car to the engineers.
Most drivers just complain about the tires, oversteering, understeering, or brakes.
Then they need to rely solely on the engineers to make the changes and adjustments.
No longer the fastest car, but he clearly is the fastest driver out there right now.. What a masterclass, but also Ocon and Gasly out smarted mclaren and ferrari.. They drove a good race and props to ocon to not repeat a certain year in brasil. 👍
Thanks for the analysis. Hope you can keep the same honesty in future race analysis videos.
Big video just out
An instructive description of this race with many hardships.
Crazy how all the greats are so lucky.😂😂.
😄😄
Crazy how some people don't understand how to build their luck.
The only thing he needs now is a teammate that he can swap race position with. Oh no, wait.....
Lucky?? Even without the red flag he would've won young lady
Ultra Max 💪🏻
Most amazing is the surprise Max causes. You all should have known by now.
True
"New FIA/Verstappen rule"
-You're not allowed to finish first if you start p10 or higher... #FIA 🤌
😂
Nuff said.
Keep up the good work! 👍
Amazing video
thanks mate. Do you know what happened with the Lando penalty (the wrong start)
They give him a fine of €5000,-
yeah 5k fine. Unbelievable that should have been harder.
@@lowerlaptime WHAT?? lol.... this helps more with the conspiracy theory against MAxi lol
Mclaren and Lando was totally oblivious about Max because he was starting at the back. Their strategy was to cover George Russel, after he jumped Lando at the start and led the race. McLaren only realized that they made a mistake when both Redbull of Max and Alpine drivers stayed out. When max led the race, McLarens did not have any answers and Lando started to fold and commited several mistakes because Max pulled a Maxterclass race from start to finished and the rest as they say, is history.😂
History indeed
👍
History, so are Lando's dreams of becoming WDC.
There's a slim chance for Lando, I reckon, but the momentum started to shift and it favors Max.
great video
Thanks for sharing Tim. The micro learning instead of doom scrolling helps me alot
Why is it that most drivers take the outside of turn1 and Max manages to take the inside?
Because hes overtaking everyone, every lap 😄
Often in corners, there's more grip off the line. Max realised that with the new surface, this wasn't the case in Brazil. Plus he clearly had a car that he could trust.
Great video. F1 is a game of inches, and the inches are between the ears.
WOW!! Max Verstappen never stops amazing me!! Some say he was lucky with that red flag, but he made that decision to stay out, while Lando came in for new tyres. But even if he pitted he would've win it. 17 fastest laps, continuesly 1,5 sec faster then anybody else.
Machine!!!!
To put it in perspective in sport there is talent ,you are good or you are bloody brilliant on a diffrent level that is Max ,the rest is good witch includes Norris😅😅😅😅😅
Were it the words of Lando, that "Should have Max started from pole, he would have doubled all of us". Correct me if I'm wrong.
Apart from that, I really like it, that (although obviously British, more likely even English) you don't have this negative attitude at Max as a lot of (British) drivers, papers and even officials. I didn't hear much of criticism by those people, when in 2021, I believe, Hamilton drove Max off at 300+ km/h at Silverstone and not even asking if he was OK. And then the last race of that season: Obviously Lewis Hamilton should have become world champion, but than again, Max made the most of a discutable decision of the, what'd you call it, race principal? The guy who was fired later. Of course, he often searches for the limits, but isn't that what all drivers should do? Remains the question whether all drivers are searching for the same limits. I doubt that. Here in 2024 we saw about the same 'pushing the limits' as he did in 2016 ("...this boy finds grip anywhere..."; according to some commentator; I don't know his name.)
Fine job!
Greetings from Netherland. (Sic; no 's'.)
I think from looking at the data the RedBull was also getting crazy downforce under braking. But Max drove a perfect race, nobody can question that!
@@pchris6662 what data bro!
Max, Race God and Raine Dancer. He's not just "fast " but above all incredibly consistent.
I saw a locked wheel on max car in turn one.
This being said, no mistakes. Epic racing.
Machine i didn't see this! Did he go deep?
@@lowerlaptime right after the start first corner
Was the bib fixed throughout the race? Were the rear brakes minus the spring and bearing? The FIA scrutineer was celebrating with the Red Bull team in the pits and he wasn't even Michael Masi. Strange.
It was not crashing into anyone whilst advancing through the grid and the rest of the race thus potentially not taking himself out with other drivers . Congrats
If we (simple souls) can remember him passing Rosberg in 2016 in that corner, why can't the other drivers? 😂
haha oh my god. I know RIGHT??? how much are they paying these blokes. Let me in!
EDIT: maybe social media? fame? so much other distractions
Super Max!
On a sarcastic note to Norris, let’s list the luck Max had:
1. A Dubiously timed red flag in Q2, and staring 17th on the grid.
2. The number of overtakes Max had v/s Norris because other drivers whom he overtook were just unlucky with rain letting Max overtake.
3. Max was lucky to keep his car perfectly aligned on the track and lucky not to have any spins and swerves on the track where as other contenders were unfortunately unlucky to keep their cars on the track.
4. Max was lucky to have his RB team and the entire universe as a supportive force that aligned with him, especially in forecasting rains and assessing drivability. Again Max was lucky that they didn’t make a mistake to pit early. Other teams were not lucky with no support from nature and universe.
Lol excellent summary
Now i finally know his secret technique. He brakes later. Why didn't I just think of that. I could have been world champion /s.

Excellent breakdown of how Max drove a masterclass drive in Brazil. You would think smart people (drivers) would look back at his drive in 2016??? Oh well I guess they are not smart enough, and would not be able to drive as Max did on both occasions.
Martin- what are your thoughts on McClaren ( Norris) taking a new ICE before end of season? Would be 10 places for Norris? Also- I think that Marlo - explained a few races ago in Mexico. That Max was 10-12 kmh slower than Norris on straights, and that they were in need of a new ICE. It did and has paid off for Max. So is it in the cards for McClaren for a new ICE? It is game over for Norris anyways with WDC.
You would certainly think so! Im not sure about the drivers engine pool etc sorry. Ill have to brush up on if Lando has to take one
I saw Max taking tighter lines and clipping curbs during the race; why would that impact downforce and the different way in which it's generated by the floor though? 🤔
Its basically saying that "I dont value minimum speed and wider lines to keep downforce alive" ie these cars generate a lot of downforce in the upper speeds but not much in the low end. So therefore Max values more shortening the circuit a bit and finding cleaner, less- rubbered in traction zones. Good question see my pinned comment for more.
@lowerlaptime Ohh okay, so Max is actually trading the greater downforce generating wider arcs in the slow corners, for tighter lines where the better traction is on the circuit? And the downsides of that strategy are less significant because in general, these cars generate less downforce at lower speeds..?
Edit: just watched your new video, looks like the better exits allow for higher downforce in the following mid/high speed corners as well.
This was Max driving with vengeance. There is no way an objective person can look at his performance and not come to the conclusion that he is a tier above everyone else on the grid. Above Lando, Piastri, LeClerc, Sainz, Russell, Hamilton, and Alonso.
He’s cemented his position with the likes of Senna and Michael now.
Mate excellent information! 2 questions for u: who wouldve won the gp without the red and who wouldve won the gp without the last yellow? I reckon Ver and Oco instead of Rus or Nor and Ver.
Thank you!
1 - Probably Max hey. Champions find a way. If it wasn't red it would have been safety car? Max can then leverage more restart skills. And ultimately he's keeping the tyres alive. He's got too many weapons to play with
2 - Not sure what you mean RE last yellow sorry!
Real Championship drive!! Master class.
Excellent view on matters as they are. Not a single mistake from Max, a heap of mistakes of Lando, a very good race of Ocon. Max, on top of a very high mountain, others (including Lando) halfway the mountain. Where absolute excellence is proven, where ‘close but not close is obvious. However, Max is not there yet. Few more races to go. Lando was very disappointed direct after the race (who wouldn’t) he will be on realistic ground today. It is quite clear, he isn’t ready to defeat Max (yet). Lando might be better than the rest but hasn’t the the touch of the magister. Max and Lando in equal cars, it will be Max over and over again, and that doesn’t take away anything of the very high skills of Lando.
Lol Max approach to corners is well known, it's just not as easy to adjust too and Max will always be more experienced with it. Max was already driving under wet conditions in his go kart when he was 7! doing laps at 50mph on wet tracks. Most countries don't allow their youngest drivers drive under such dangerous conditions.
Martin brundle had an incredibly sore va jay jay post race😅
Only the best make no mistakes in the rain
What is up with the sound? Are you using an octaver to make your voice sound lower ?
Yes.
Eagor to learn from the best.
Before this race it appeared that Red Bull car led by Max Verstappen was not fast enough for the last few races. What went wrong and what were the correction introduced in the Red bull car? Were Verstappen/Red Bull making errors in those races where he lost?
This is what sky and other hate media have to talk about, instead of all of the negativity they spread about Max! Its all in the details! ✌️
Red bull was using their brake bias trick
Aka Max Emilian Verstappen
OMG, and the poor Lady Hamilton had to (according to the Commentators) fight with one hand behind his back etc. etc. Seems like he is the only one who had to run the race in a Porsche Cup car.
George is almost doing to Lewis what Max is doing to Checo... It's bizarre. 😳
I just wonder why did no other driver try the lines Max was Driving. If it is only that, why did Sergio Perez not do this. Because he can't or because his car is setup differently ?
@@bonno666 did you see my most recent video on wet lines?
Sigma Max!
