- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- Red Bull's Max Verstappen is on the pole for Saturday's sprint race in Austria...but it was a close-run thing, as ever in 2024. Lando Norris qualified his McLaren-Mercedes only 0.093sec away, with team-mate, Oscar Piastri, P3, ahead of George Russell (Mercedes), Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) and Sir Lewis Hamilton in the other factory Mercedes. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc starts P10 after an engine problem in SQ3 - and neither Aston Martin-Mercedes made it to SQ3. In this video Peter Windsor details the two laps of Max and Lando as well as other key performance issues.

Honestly Max is the most precise driver right now. Simply the best.
He's the best driver full stop. I cannot recall an era where one driver seems superior to his peers. Maybe in the early years of Schumacher.
@@TheDanishSpacemanyou must be new to F1 Senna dominated Schumacher while he was alive. Dam you newbs are quick to type yet don’t know shit 🥱
Please a blind horse see what a genius this boy is .he is writing history just 26 years old. Listen to a man as Peter Windsor.enjoy the years off this already 26 years legend amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
better than all the rest.
I think his enthusiasm for online sim racing is, at the very least, helpful for his ability to concentrate and be mentally sharp for long periods of time. Possibly helps with his reaction time as well.
This era will be looked back to as insanely tough because Max is just THAT good. Matching him is a challenge the best teams in the world are barely managing.
that last corner in free practice 1. people should see from the cockpit of max. it is just unbelievable. it is pure feeling. the back of the car rotates perfect.
And still Ferrari seems to keep making more mistakes than anybody else, it's intriguing to say the least.
Lando keeps on doing a solid job, but at the moment max is simply untouchable.
He's able to extract everything from his car under any sort of situation, truly impressive.
I wonder if Hamilton is having 2nd thoughts...
@@lordbrad5975 pretty sure he is
I find myself living more and more for Peters analysis!
Peter, it would be great to have an analysis why Checo is so much slower than Max with the same equipment.
How can you be so sure it's the same? The sticker? Lol.
@@HN-ol7oz And the Earth is flat and they faked the Moon landings.
He’s not as good a driver? I think Max could win in any of the top 4 cars.
@@HN-ol7oz And the Earth is flat and the Moon landings were faked
You are a funny guy Rocky. Yeah, let's do a deep dive. 😂😂😂
I have a feeling that Max could drive the Mclaren, faster than Norris is driving it, possibly beating Max's time in the Red BUll.
Unlikely , the mcl is always a tricky car . Lando personally stated the upgrades dint make any change to the feel of the car . Max likes a really pointy car , when he doesn’t have it he complains of slight understeer. Even if he jumps in now he would be easily behind oscar it’s not just that simple to adapt to a new car especially the mcl
Max would win races once he understand the Mclaren and how to set up the car. The guy is like an engineer
Thanks, as always, for another incredible breakdown of Quali's. You make F1 even more fascinating than it already is!
0.09 diff between Max and Lando actually is quit a gap for such short lap. We don’t see this kind diff lately. On a normal size circuit it would be 0.15 sec
RB must be kicking themselves for keeping Perez. They will lose the team title because of him.
There must be some sponsorship reason for that decision. Nothing else, makes any sense.
Max's 1st and Perez's 8th in Spain earned Red Bull more constructor points than any of the other teams last time out.
I take your point, though.
Perez suffers from the same problem Lewis is. They simply don't trust the car. Perez likes rear stable cars, but the RB20 is an edgy strong front-end kind of car.
This is why his father was saying the team designed the car around Max, but the Red Bulls always had a strong front-end because of the high rake they used the run.
Besides that, are you sure they have a better driver as a replacement. Ricciardo and Tsunoda also are not consistent. Lawson left last year a good impression, but after the experiences with Gasly and Albon, do you really want to put a rookie next to Max in such a high pressure environment? However, if Ricciardo doesn't improve within the next few races, I suspect Marko will pull a De Vries on Ricciardo and replace him with Lawson. If Lawson does as well as last season, maybe he can promote to the big team. And let's not forget, Max doesn't seem to have off days. Most likely because the only thing he does is racing. If he isn't racing for Red Bull (on track or their simulator), you'll find him online where he is also one of the best in all kind of different cars...
Leclerc is facing a whole different problem. Sainz was dropped in favor of Leclerc, but Sainz seems to be one more consistent at the moment. That puts a lot of pressure on Leclerc to prove he is worth that Ferrari seat (next to Hamilton).
@2Fast4Mellow the car favours fast drivers, that's why perez can't hang. Having an aggressive front not only makes for a faster car but, if done right, also has less tyre wear.
You can be sure that his contract has enough performance clauses that they can get rid of him as soon as they want.
Tks Sir Peter for another brilliant analysis!!
Max Verstappen is already a legend. 1.3 seconds faster than his teammate.
As for Lewis Hamilton. You stand still you go backwards.
To be fair Perez didn't had a clean last lap as he was stuck behind Ocon. His real pace was about 5 or 6 tenths slower than Max, which is still massive on this short of a track.
Max is great but comparing to Perez as evidence isn't he way to go. Perez is not an elite driver.
@@anubiam3004 No. But Verstappen is.
You're living in la la land if you think otherwise.
@@martingonzalez2850 Why you comparing Max to someone who is obviously struggling? Perez was almost equal to Max in the beginning of 22 and 23 until he got beaten by the concept of the car, like every other teammate hes had since Ricciardo. Hes not a legend, only fanboys jump to those conclusions.
@@oransjball why isn't he a legend already? The guy is just 26 years old, has the most records in F1 ever, beats really good guys effortlessly, etc...
If this doesn't make him a legend already, what does? And who are legend of the sport in your opinion?
Great analysis as always :)
Great ending music too...
Why is everyone surprised by checos downfall?
He did this last year too!
Last year was embarrassing for him and Red Bull
You need a car with a party mode to win from Max
Proud of George kicking Lewis’s butt again. 👍👍👍
as always a good analysis....thanks Peter
Hi Peter, love the comments love the insight, one question though who and what is the piece you using as an outro wonderful guitar music - I want more !! - stupid me read the info agai and there it is… Floating Home (Brian Bolger) - thx !!
Max delivering once again… Nice balance right off the bat. Really hard to know how the car is since Checo is consistently p7 p8. He isn’t that bad is he, to be so low all the time in the best car?
It's not the best car for some time now. Perez' performance is partly evidence for that.
It has to be clear even for the most skeptical denyers now that Max makes the difference these times, by driving almost perfect and consistent, and outperforming* his car.
* I know, theoretically that's not possible, you nerds, but in the practical world of racing it is. :)
It's not the best car, that is measured by the 2nd driver as well.
@@Wuppie62 Yes, allthough Verstappen is getting a bit flattered by Perez not being to able to handle his, the fastest, set ups. If they both stepped into a more neutral Mercedes, McLaren or Ferrari right now they would probably be only 2 tenths apart.
But I agree, Verstappen has been much more or more often dominant than RedBull in past 2 years. We tend to forget that also in the 1st half of 2022 and the 2nd half of 2023 only Verstappen was at the front.
Perez always had a big gap from Max, but as they had the most dominant cars ever in 2022 and 2023, Perez could get second place easily. When the field compacts, the drivers fill the gap between Max and Perez, and it seems like Max is a legend, but this always happened, the dominant car just hided it
R we sure dropping Carlos for Lewis is a good move? I mean, I’m sure they will sell a lot of merchandise. Not sure of any other benefit.
Thx Peter
I'm looking forward to the Sprint and the other Qualification tomorrow.
Brilliant as always Peter !! Can I ask , what is the song in the closing of your video ??
Ah, shur there was the info in the video description 🙈
Still a lot of people are yelling: It's the car....No it's not, it's both. This year it's mostly Max's talent.
I think this is the first time since the batch of big upgrades that Max is happy with the car.
would have been nice to see the source of Perez being slow compared to max
I don ‘t see lando as a threat at all. Even if he can match a lap time. Race is not only 1 lap and when it comes to consistency and critical thinking max is light years away from norris.
lando is probably the best driver in the field at working his tyres over a race distance. Mclaren/lando combo is better than the MaxRBR combo since Miami. Weight the credit to car or driver, its still a reality
@@mutleyeng😂
@@mutleyengwhatever you believe boy 🤣
@@mutleyeng LOL!!🤣
perez is a full pay drive that brings hundreds of millions to the team. that is why he is on the team.
35-40 actually
Checo half a second??? Almost 1.4s Peter!! not good at all...piss poor tyre prep too...waited too long
yeah i thought the gap was much bigger than 0.5
He didn't put in a proper last lap but was in a train of cars. Half a second is the realistic difference, as it has been so often for years now. Nothing special therefore.
@@DenUitvreterthe excuses never end
@@quigglyz Well it's literally what's happened. He was stuck right behind Ocon on his last lap because they all went out so late. In SQ1 and SQ2 he was about 0.5 - 0.6s behind Max. So even with a clean lap he would've probably ended where he is now anyway.
@@quigglyz You clearly didn't watch SQ3 properly if you think it's an excuse.
James Allison said the Mercedes car gets it's best times when it's not being hustled around the track. Probably true because to me Lewis seemed to be overdriving the car trying to get the most out of it.
RB Visa updates seem to be step backwards running cars on different spec looks like Daniel was on new spec which is not improving....
Given the gap between Max & Checo, Redbull perhaps only appears dominant bcz of Max's performance & there's no way Checo is that bad of a driver. Looking back at Mercedes dominance, Botas at times got destroyed by Max in the same races where Lewis was winning by huge margins. For whatever reason it has become a norm to overlook & quickly move on Max's exceptional performances by diverting towards his "amazing" car, never has a team's chief technical officer talked about more on TV like today & often all the time it's Redbull's Adrien Newey. And if Adrien Newey's car is that good why is Checo not bringing the same results??
I think its a tiny bit of Max being a masterful driver and a lot of Perez being that bad. Lets be honest the Redbull car this year is mighty even if it has been matched by Mclaren in some races and Perez is too far behind.
If Max was outperforming the car massively (like George Russell in a Williams) there would be some circuits where he would only finish mid pack but he is consistently winning so thats not the case.
If Perez driving speed was in decline there would still be some races where he would get decent finishes because of the car and from more forgiving circuits, thats fairly consistent with this season.
Perez has spent more time this year fighting the HAAS cars for position than fighting his team mate, and the same is probably true for the Mclarens, Mercedes and Ferraris sadly.
Hey, Peter mercedes did long runs only on Lewis ( George did attempt fastest lap but traffic messed it up ), mercedes needed long run data because our upgraded beam wing is supposed to help us in tyre wear which we were testing and we had total stint of 32 laps
George ahead of Hamilton.....again. Max stands on the shoulders of all other drivers. A complete legend.
I got the feeling most teams if not all are looking past this weekend to Silverstone.
Perez is nailing his own proverbial coffin shut. 😢 Glaringly obvious he can’t compete in one of best cars in field.
Is the music really necessary at the end?
Love your comments Peter. Could you next time explain a little more about the differnce between checco and max. Because the gap is so big. Lando and Carolos are much closer to each other and so are lewis and george. thanks!
Always nice analyses, but showing lap times and sector times with only tenth's is kinda pointless IMO. If you just look at the sector times of Sainz and Hamilton, they would be fast than Russel.
Have you guys noticed that ferrari is the only team with asymetric cooling on the car?
I saw it today and they had it last year as well.
With all the aero talk etc it kind of seems strange that they would do that, and that especially ferrari would get that to work for left and right corner airflow etc.
Possibly certain parts of there engine gets alot hotter due to the way it's packaged? Only thing I can think of really but good point
@@darkwa456 Their
Norris didn't take turn 1 well.., in fact you could call it a mistake. Lando turned in too early and had to correct. Also turn 3 from Lando was not the best. I don't see any big corrections on Max' onboard. Again it seems (another) pole lost for Lando making mistakes and not being as clinical as Max.
U can’t really judge they went from mediums to soft . It’s just that which driver is a natural to their cat
Piastri will get the pole for the race.
Based on what?
Hi peter i think merc will get soft tire data from the sprint race. They sacrificed this to qualify well tomorrow and figure out long run race pace instead.
Logie SQ2!🎉
In FP1 george got blocked during his first push lap on the softs. He wasnt just scrubbing them in. And the Merc times are as always on higher engine modes/lower fuel than other teams. They always look better in practice than they actually are
I hope McLaren and Lando refine themselves this year and mount a title run next year
The problem for Verstappen is the internal fights at the Red Bull company.
9-2 to George 👍😎
Perez had the opportunity to pull up in the pitlane and block the alpine, if they would’ve sent the alpine out it would’ve been unsafe release, but instead Sergio decided to stop and WAIT for the alpine to pull out, even with the alpine pit guy still holding the alpine back.
Mercedes focused on the grand prix instead of the sprint.
In Q3 the cars didn't come out for 2 minutes and then were in a panic and Ferrari screwed Le Clerc. If Le Clerc came out earlier he could have got a lap in. I just don't understand the logic, I mean the track was not going to improve. It is just so frustrating to watch.
Pause at 0:49.
Those sectors for ham and Russell and the wrong way around.
Lewis can't be slower but have faster sectors.lol
7:05 *Leclerc
Russel starting in P4 again
Remember what he did last race 😏
Yup.....Hamilton passed him as if out for a Sunday picnic
Lewis didn’t want to use his soft tyre in practice it was his choice
Lando and Oscar are looking great, but I doubt their starts will be better than Max's. I would imagine Lewis was looking at it as more data on the hard tires for the main race, it would be a logical explanation for compromising the sprint. Lewis did qualify ahead of Sergio, with Sergio having the faster car, so not terrible.
They need not be , ideally Osc being ahead would help as he can attack max as he cooks the tyres anyways . And lando doing his usual management ,lando can easily win in the ending of the stint
@@lostmind24I hope you are right. It's about to start, so we will see.
@@pfuepfue9107 the opposite happened😭, he got ahead of lando after cooking his tyres
@@lostmind24 Yeah, but P2 for the start tomorrow, so he may yet get a win this weekend.
R.I.P Anna.
The LH hate is INSANE!. Even when he was winning everything just like Max is now, people still found a way to hate. Same people who judge the race based on TH-cam highlights and DHL’s DOTD
#teamLH. Sore Lewis
God bless Anna
Looks like Red Bull has the wing right ….
Perez is not half a second to Max. He is way off. 1.3 sec. Max was 4.6 Perez 6.0
Glen mills coached Usain bolt to greatness ,Glen cant run 10 meters.dont ignored years of experience watching formula one,taking to drivers for decades and just have an eye for driving talent.he can see drivers mistakes, sense what they trying to achieve and knew instantly when they getting it right.
Max even told he lost some time because his out lap had been too fast because of the time constraints
Max got a tow at the end of the lap?
If Peter didn't say so then NO! Stop trying to minimize his performance.
he didnt , why you think so ??
No, Max didn't encounter any cars on his last lap
P3
Max surely hit the wrong button. Teams always cover for their driver’s mistakes so I just don’t believe it was a bad sensor. They didn’t replace anything.
Even gods make mistakes.
If max has the fastest car it’s game over.
P2
What happened to Ferrari?
Lewis was the most consistant driver in all 3 segments.....
The difference between the top five is how the wind was blowing or if a corner of the track was under cloud cover or clear. Peter you cannot suggest when it’s this close the driver/car makes the difference. These are aero cars and everything affects them. I suspect the wind/weather other drivers etc made the difference here. All else is equal
Seconds separated when these times were put down. The wind didn’t change that much
Try again
@@toolegittoquit_001 it’s good to know you measured every cubic meter of the air and track temps in real time. George went from 4 to 1 last week which I suppose you don’t see, all because of the wind blowing at 20kph the same wind all other cars had as well mind you. All because of the aero dynamics we run on these cars now is the sole reason he was able to make that pass. Try - paying attention to the world around you -again.
Regarding Lewis the reason they are running Hard tires fist on the weekend which Merc has done quite often with this car package is to set a baseline. They can run sims based on the data..sometime Peter is so stuck in the old school era he seems to not think. Lewis has quite the experience to be comfortable on the other compounds. The hard tire could be an option for the sprint race possibly to save a set of mediums for the GP?
Max readying himself for:
#1 FP1
#1 SQ1
#1 SQ2
#1 SQ3
#1 Sprint leading all laps
#1 Q1
#1 Q2
#1 Q3
#1 Race leading all laps
We will call that a Grand Slamstappen
Continuing normal service 😁
On racepace with low fuel,mclaren is the stronger car..... much stronger!
@@robertjoostens The car might be, not the drivers
@@robertjoostensYet they still can’t outrace Max 🤷♂️
Turns out Hamilton had floor damage after SQ1.
Afcourse, he went over de curbs and gravel....he makes every year more mistakes, from 2020 until now he isn't as good anymore....
@@robertjoostens Hamilton won ‘20 and ‘21 so I’m not paying attention to anything you have to say.
So skill issues confirmed, who was driving the when damaging it
@@LandOfTheFallen 🤣🤣🤣.... baku 2021, losing 25 point as an 36 year old f1 champion, by such an stuppid mistake!!! I think you are crying still about that, don't you🤣😘
@@robertjoostens no, because unlike you I have more than 2 brains cells.
Tired of hearing how great Lando is. The bottle job has won 1 race.
The only defence fore Checo. He was stuck back in the pack with limited time to get around. He would be behind a lot anyway. Cant understand Red Bull vision. Max is fighting 3 other teams alone. I hope Max goes to Mercedes 2026. Red Bull will loose constructor perhaps this year, and likely next year.
They’ve completely butchered the sprint format
The first version makes the most sense
None of this nonsense with sprint qualifying and shootouts!
PW is mentioning the perfection of Max V. For all those… It is the car… fanatics: Listen to what PW tells you! PW knows absolutely what he’s talking about! He knows this stuff as nobody else.
P1
It’s only the sprint
@@adamozmin8970I think he meant himself...
@@hanskuijsten2380 I know, sorry it was a bad joke
Hey Peetie Boy MAX going to destroy your Pommie Matie drivers. Do not take a Dutchman on Peetie Boy. Jos will head butt you poms lol
It's more dangerous calling an aussie a pom
Jos The Dross - King of D.V. and C.A. He couldn't put out a candle.
Ok I have to stop watching! This short corner stuff is killing me, Peter talks like he knows how to drive compared to F1 drivers😂
Ver p1 talks about him for 3min brushed over Lando and talks and PIA because this so called short corner obsession.
How Michael Schumacher used to do it. th-cam.com/video/5L4VuMGuuSU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Cz9rcKKSihXlFnMR
I mean, you do drive a shorter distance over the lap and can accelerate better. I think you also misunderstood.. PW im sure would gladly admit that he cant drive an F1 car to the level of any of the guys on the grid in any style... or better yet, he cant drive the cars to any sufficient level.. he is able to identify driver styles though.
And yet u r here....lol
I think you should mention what you would like to hear about then, instead of only complaining, you know?
maybe Peter is an ace on the sim?
Perez is a joke! Feels like he will need Max to driver coach him.
same old ferrari the mistakes never end. where is the gust of wind so they would be on pole. maybe the gust of wind will help them win the race. the sprint race is a scam none of this counts like for the real race, just like alonso said.
