Verstappen's victory at Spa 2022 is congruent to Hamilton's victory in Brazil 2021. Overpowered Cars overtaking every other cars on the long straight ⚡
This is like a videogame where the difficulty is on medium setting. After the first half of the season where Leclerc made a fight of it, this was the point where everyone understood just how absolutely massive the gap to the Red Bull concept was.
This is like those Assetto Corsa videos where an LMP1 car overtakes a field of GTEs with a lap head start, absolutely insane performance by man and machine.
The lack of defense by most of the grid is part of the reason why he has been so dominant, everyone takes a "we're not racing him" attitude so max ends up racing no one and wins easily.
@@10001000101 I mean, is there a reason to fight what esentially is a battle that you'd just lose time, kill your tyres and still possibly lose because you don't have the car and/or pace to do something about it?, I'm not saying that F1 drivers aren't supposed to race but sometimes it's the smarter choice not to do it and play it cool
I mean Verstappen had won 9/13 races, two of which where retirements. What are you going to do to beat that? And Verstappen is known to fight relentlessly. So by defending him you'd only lose time, ruin your tires and risk a crash. Everyone knew he'd win that race given the pace of that car.
You absolutely haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Most of these overtakes were UNDEFENSABLE. When your team is 5th in the championship and 10 points behind the 4th and 8 points ahead of the 6th fighting Verstappen who ON HIS OWN is ahead of your team by 200 points makes absolutely no sense.
if thats your logic, fine... but atleast explain it a bit, dont just go 'they didnt want to defend'. Basically: they all know he has the fastest car, they all know how great of a driver he is, they all know hes gonna win, they all know they will lose performance of their own car if they defend, THAT is why he was so dominant.... not because they simply decided to not defend against him.
it was stroll..... this is 2 yrs old, only briefly during the race did they think it was verstappen. later during the race, after the race and in interviews it was constantly repeated it wasnt verstappen.
It's rare to see an F1 car still accelerating after it's pulled out of the draft at nearly 340Km/h, normally they drop some speed straight away and also tend to run out of battery by then.
100% it's so weird because he was also fast in the corners iirc, interesting that you mention the battery. Now i'm wondering how much the battery degrades or i guess the battery capacity in particular. Because the checo overtake is fresh vs old PU, we'll never know the deployment of checo off course. But still you are right normally you clearly notice coming out of the draft and here it's like nothing. There is one other thing i can think of and that's a strong wind in your back. It doesn't look like it because the draft looks strong but maybe it isn't.

These people are by far the funniest and most of them haven‘t even watched the sport for longer than 2 seasons. They don‘t realise that Max has driven 6 out of his 10 seasons in his F1 career in non championship contending machinery and he has performed insanely in every single season in his career (always relative to his age, experience and machinery of course).

I've seen it thousands of times, but this is the first time I've seen it from this angle, and you can get a better sense of how fast and steep this section is. At the very end of the climb, you can even see the driver slightly lift off the seat.
It amazes me how Perez can start 2nd on the grid in that car & still can’t get past Sainz before Verstappen. Max started in P14 & still finished nearly 20 seconds ahead of Perez, which suggests Perez should’ve been kicked out a long time ago for his poor performances.
Perez literally got 2nd and 3rd in 2022 and 2023. He had 4 podiums this year, it's only the last 7 races that his performance has tanked, Verstappens pace is getting bad now too.

i dnt have power to convince you to change your mind and you have made up your mind nd will stick to it. Even if the god show you all the data, you wouldnt believe but yeah its okay.
What people dont understand is that noone wanted to fight Verstappen anyway. Leclerc being an exception because he in theory had a fast car as well. The midfield teams are all fighting their own fights for lets say p8, and dont want to cook their tired trying to defend against a much much faster RB car. You can really see how everyone just waved him by and didnt bother to defend, most visibly with Ricciardo and Vettel who could have easily covered the inside if they had wanted to in their overtakes, same for Russell and Alonso. They were simply not interested in defending. Perez naturally waved him by given all he ever do was sit back to help out Verstappen. The only one even trying a little to defend was Sainz on P1, but even he knew that it didnt matter and he would be better of ensuring his car stays save and he finishes on the podium.
Remember, this year Spa is mostly resurfaced (WEC comes before resurface, Spa24 happens AFTER resurface.) Significant time gain for the GT cars. Now we'll see how the Formula's gonna go
Before that race, presumably in the holiday session (and is prohibited), they had discovered something that made them absolutely dominant for that year and the whole following one. They went from being at Ferrari level to have 0.6s advantage on average...
Seeing Mclaren with the best pace in Miami and Silverstone, The only two high speed tracks before this. I bet they can give Red Bull a fight in Spa as well but they still have Drag in straight line speed I guess it would be the Verstappen factor that'll matter but that too looks not possible bcoz he'll take an Engine Penalty
I think Max will get a penalty because of the engine or gearbox change at spa, and it's for the best, the belgium gp is where overtaking is the easiest!
I remember this GP. The team did the very same thing back then. Most of his parts were changed to fresh ones. This channel did not tell the full story.
Also a good advertisement for shorter DRS zones on certain tracks. I really hope they shorten the Kemmel Straight DRS zone, back to what it was in 2017 and earlier. Even shorter than that would be nice, it's proven to be far too powerful
This honestly begs the question could he have won from p20 or even from starting from the pitlane? Like an absolute rocket ship driven by the fastest driver with a great start like he had and having no one defend against him I genuinely think he would’ve pulled it off
Not to throw shade at Max, but he had the fastest car and no one was really racing him. The commentators made a big deal about Max starting P15, but when they asked the other drivers who they thought was going to win the race, they all said, “Max”.
Even if redbull does solve the braking problems with the rb20 this weekend, they still need to deal with its high tyre degradation. Hope they pull their wits together, otherwise it’s downhill for them as the season goes on.
That car was completely dominant during that season, Max is a great driver that makes very little mistakes. I just don't like that Perez didn't get the same car after the Monaco race. On side by sides Perez steering, ride, and engine power wasn't the same as Max's. I'm a Hamilton Fan and being unfair to a Driver because he was challenging the number one driver of your team is not being competitive at all. That's an integrity issue.
Yeah it's so dominant or I should say easy when you have the FIA on your side plus with the best car on grid which much more superior pace to any other team, of course it will look dominant and ease play.
Without that Rocketship he finished in an average 4th place in 2024 thanks to Russell's disqualification. Good for Red Bull by winning Spa 2022 with Max as passenger
Lets be fair, there are a number of factors at play here. Lets not just assume it was a walk in the park, starting that far back. 1.This helps highlight the problem with passing aids. It gives every car on the track (especially the strongest) much greater ease in passing and there isn't much of a battle that can be given. This gives the dominant cars even more of an advantage over slower cars. 2.Max still had to look after the car which also had to function perfectly mechanically. (Tires, engine, etc). One thing failed and it was probably a retirement or loss. 3.Max has proven he is ambitious enough to push the limits and skilled enough to get the job done against other good drivers on the grid. Regardless of his earlier years in F1, he's proven himself. 4.Making a pass of 1 or more cars in the first corner of Spa is not anything amazing. The first corner at many tracks is typically a location where many grid places are traded on the first lap regardless of car strength. 5.(I hate using this comparison since people generally blow it way out of proportion). This reverberates back to Japan 88, when Senna dropped from front of the grid to 16th place, due to a technical problem. He then fought his way be back to catch, pass, and beat teammate Prost for the championship win. Putting on this performance from the middld of the grid deserves more credit. Please do not misunderstand this statement, Max is nowhere in the same universe as Senna, but I do give him credit here because I think its due.
this race and hungary his rivals should've beaten max which would've given them more hope in the title race at the time but this was what sailed max to the title

0:54 ironic, he just got mad in 2024 Hungary for having that done to him but not nearly as severe as what he did to Charles
My fav bit was the cam was on Max on lap 7 climbing Eau Rouge/Radillion to pass Alonso.
What people dont understand is that noone wanted to fight Verstappen anyway. Leclerc being an exception because he in theory had a fast car as well. The midfield teams are all fighting their own fights for lets say p8, and dont want to cook their tired trying to defend against a much much faster RB car. You can really see how everyone just waved him by and didnt bother to defend, most visibly with Ricciardo and Vettel who could have easily covered the inside if they had wanted to in their overtakes, same for Russell and Alonso. They were simply not interested in defending. Perez naturally waved him by given all he ever do was sit back to help out Verstappen.
The only one even trying a little to defend was Sainz on P1, but even he knew that it didnt matter and he would be better of ensuring his car stays save and he finishes on the podium.

I was there that day! Only race I ever witnessed irl and as a big fan of Max it was a blast!
It was crazy to see Verstappen climbing the order during this race. Also, you’re so close to 100K subscribers! Thank you for the awesome content!
Phenomenal drive, Max is undoubtedly one of the best to ever do it
hehe, nope
I was there and to witness this was insane
Nice video. But why the massive text with background blocking the video...
342km overtake, right before the braking point, he's still enjoying his prime physique, just, top performance
Yes rocketship! But what a drive from Max!
Remember, this year Spa is mostly resurfaced (WEC comes before resurface, Spa24 happens AFTER resurface.)
Significant time gain for the GT cars. Now we'll see how the Formula's gonna go
Before that race, presumably in the holiday session (and is prohibited), they had discovered something that made them absolutely dominant for that year and the whole following one. They went from being at Ferrari level to have 0.6s advantage on average...
He better make a comeback this weekend!
Adrian Newey is a genius.
Seeing Mclaren with the best pace in Miami and Silverstone, The only two high speed tracks before this.
I bet they can give Red Bull a fight in Spa as well but they still have Drag in straight line speed
I guess it would be the Verstappen factor that'll matter but that too looks not possible bcoz he'll take an Engine Penalty
is some of the turn number wrong? he overtook albono at t8 not 10. t10 is pouhon
4:31 i love celerating some wins
It was insane to witness this live, to see the gap that he pulled in real time was insane.
2:35 what a rocket 🚀🚀
I think Max will get a penalty because of the engine or gearbox change at spa, and it's for the best, the belgium gp is where overtaking is the easiest!
I remember this GP. The team did the very same thing back then. Most of his parts were changed to fresh ones. This channel did not tell the full story.
could you please reupload Pouhon taken flat by different cars video? I cannot find it anymore :(
Also a good advertisement for shorter DRS zones on certain tracks. I really hope they shorten the Kemmel Straight DRS zone, back to what it was in 2017 and earlier. Even shorter than that would be nice, it's proven to be far too powerful
This is me when i play f1 games on 30 ai difficulty lol
This car brake much better than any other.
This honestly begs the question could he have won from p20 or even from starting from the pitlane? Like an absolute rocket ship driven by the fastest driver with a great start like he had and having no one defend against him I genuinely think he would’ve pulled it off

It's like that so it's harder to be flagged for copyright from F1.
Still got me wondering what is perez cooking with the same machinary.
“same” 🤔
Not to throw shade at Max, but he had the fastest car and no one was really racing him. The commentators made a big deal about Max starting P15, but when they asked the other drivers who they thought was going to win the race, they all said, “Max”.
Legendary performance!
Just watching this to get a preview of the 2024 race
The drift on the last corner♥
Nobody even attempted to defend, of course he would be P1 in such a short time in that thing
why waste time in a losing battle potentially ruining ur tires if u know hes gonna fly past u anyways
Even if redbull does solve the braking problems with the rb20 this weekend, they still need to deal with its high tyre degradation. Hope they pull their wits together, otherwise it’s downhill for them as the season goes on.
That car was completely dominant during that season, Max is a great driver that makes very little mistakes. I just don't like that Perez didn't get the same car after the Monaco race. On side by sides Perez steering, ride, and engine power wasn't the same as Max's. I'm a Hamilton Fan and being unfair to a Driver because he was challenging the number one driver of your team is not being competitive at all. That's an integrity issue.
I dont think its a tractor, its probably just the team getting the setup wrong
Yeah it's so dominant or I should say easy when you have the FIA on your side plus with the best car on grid which much more superior pace to any other team, of course it will look dominant and ease play.
Red Bull was something else past years
On the end he said "car was a rocketship", not rockship😂
Verstappen beast mode activated
*cheat mode
Many had much more dominant cars than Verstappen, but none was as dominant as he is.
Without that Rocketship he finished in an average 4th place in 2024 thanks to Russell's disqualification. Good for Red Bull by winning Spa 2022 with Max as passenger
in quali that weekend, Max secured the fastest time without having to do the second attempt in q3
Thumbnail says rockship just in case you haven't realised
210mph through kemmel straight is crazy 💀
340 km/h*
They already show the speed with a proper and correct unit of measurement. Please don’t change it back.

20 years later: F1 legendary moments laps of goat
Lets be fair, there are a number of factors at play here. Lets not just assume it was a walk in the park, starting that far back.
1.This helps highlight the problem with passing aids. It gives every car on the track (especially the strongest) much greater ease in passing and there isn't much of a battle that can be given. This gives the dominant cars even more of an advantage over slower cars.
2.Max still had to look after the car which also had to function perfectly mechanically. (Tires, engine, etc). One thing failed and it was probably a retirement or loss.
3.Max has proven he is ambitious enough to push the limits and skilled enough to get the job done against other good drivers on the grid. Regardless of his earlier years in F1, he's proven himself.
4.Making a pass of 1 or more cars in the first corner of Spa is not anything amazing. The first corner at many tracks is typically a location where many grid places are traded on the first lap regardless of car strength.
5.(I hate using this comparison since people generally blow it way out of proportion). This reverberates back to Japan 88, when Senna dropped from front of the grid to 16th place, due to a technical problem. He then fought his way be back to catch, pass, and beat teammate Prost for the championship win. Putting on this performance from the middld of the grid deserves more credit. Please do not misunderstand this statement, Max is nowhere in the same universe as Senna, but I do give him credit here because I think its due.
this race and hungary his rivals should've beaten max which would've given them more hope in the title race at the time but this was what sailed max to the title
Overtaking world champion drivers on the same straight, I think the engineers need more of the praise than max.
Look like me when I playing F1 game with 31% AI 😂😂😂
When the car was still made to Max’s preference
340 km/h with drs than and now 320 with drs
I still remember when this race went down my buddy said starting from p15 I bet max crashes trying to get into the points. Never doubt the Dutchman
Where was checo's rockeship?
Under his ass
The cars aren’t tailored to his style, it’s more toward Max’s pointy front end. This setup is the total opposite from Perez’s understeer preference.
Will be interesting to see if the upgrades on the RB20 prove to be a quicker car here over it's predecessor RB19 which proved unbalanced at Hungary.
When you don't respect a budget... you win easy
