What impresses me most about max is his consistency. While it's true that he can carry ungodly amounts of speed through every turn, his ability to break at the exact same spot each turn of each lap. To shift at the exact same spot. To turn at the exact same spot. Every single lap of an entire race is just incredible.
it's a normal practice to be consistent in race. ofc consistency is more important than speed. there are many endurance races from 4 to 24 hrs (solo!) when you must not be fast but consistent. its a practice, caring tyres and special car settings. for example a good (consistent!, not fast!) driver can make 15 laps in a row within 0.05-0.1s.
Whats an epic race of both of them. Dunne also drive extreme high level at the first half of the race. But as many of the comments say. Verstappens consistency is mind blowing. Like an god of driving 🙇🏼🙇🏼🙇🏼
For anyone wondering about the time of the race start, it's at the lower bottom right corner. The race started and switched to 0:00 after 5:41 and had not overtaken anyone yet which you can check just above that timestamp.
If only ppl commenting watched more races…. In stead of only posting random hate towards Max. Watch more of iRacing and even Indycar, rolling starts are always with back starters making a calculated run to just get a legal start. Max didn’t overtake anyone before the clock started on 0.00. Haters should learn rules…. on TeamRedline Twitch each Wednesday his team, often including Max, race in all sorts of series. Its fun, it’s chatting, its serious racing. Gianni Vecchio is also TeamRedline. They also do 8hr races. If ppl watched it more, they would learn the rules…… and enjoy the banter and Max relaxing at his sim at home, with the big WC trophy next to his sim, on the Red Bull fridge 👊🏻
The fact that Max is as good as he is at rolling starts (see Vegas GP this year, Netherlands SC restart last year) despite driving a series that does grid starts is pretty impressive
I have to say really absolute top riders. It makes you dizzy just watching. With my standard setup, I can only dream of ever reaching such times. However, I'm also an old man. Great performance of all participants would ish say ,congratulations ! .
Who? 😅 How Max did the overtake on Palou... "if you no longer go for the gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver"... saw a gap and went for it in an instant, leaving no time for Palou to respond at all.
Its so interesting to watch Max take different lines at some corners…. He does that in F1 too compared to Charles, Checo. That’s where he makes the difference
31:56 I think he might have squeezed him a bit too hard here, it looks like he left him just enough room, but then maybe not, not sure if it was a car and a half like F1 rules, that Alex Dunn could have just hit the wall by himself though, smart from max but only if it is legal
@@jackknife1796yes. I think he went a bit more conservative here as Max seemed pretty relentless and already committed to making the move. If Alex fought his line a bit more, I think they might have crashed or only Max would be taken out. Seems to me like Alex turned in a bit earlier to avoid contact from Max but in doing so hit the wall. I can't see enough visual cue that they made contact. We need to see more angles and replay.
He left him enough room but Alex backed out of fear to be killed in the wall, Max had half car ahead of him at the entry of the corner, pretty ruthless move, Alex made a mistake half lap behind and Max doesn’t forgive
it was definitely RIGHT on the limit. You can slow the playback speed to 0.25 and there's barely enough for a car to get through. Max will take every inch you give him, especially when Max is leading by 3/4 to a full car length ahead.
@@clintonnkpa1728 kudos to Alex. He could have won that race right there and then if he wanted to. I reckon if it was anyone else he wouldn't have been so forgiving.

Squeezed. Sure but we gotta know if there was contact. If Max simply cut Alex off, Alex would've crashed Max too as a result. But this looks to me like Alex instinctively turned in a bit earlier thus hitting the wall trying to avoid contact with Max. We gotta see the other angles though.
You literally have drivers on the grid like Alonso, Hulkenberg who won Le Mans and Fernando won the WEC, 24 hour Daytona. That's far better than sim racing.
@@isaacm2374 Yes, Alonso and Max are the ones I can think of that are still on the grid that competed professionally in diferent categories at the same time as they were competing in F1. It"s really rare to see champions do that nowadays, and I really applaud that, usually only "less successful" drivers do that because they've nothing to lose.
@@timevortex5524 sim racing isn't a different category. You're comparing sim racing to Le Mans, WEC, Indycar, Dakar. I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. When Max races in the WEC, you can say that. Also other drivers like Leclerc, Norris and Russell do sim racing as well.
@@isaacm2374 I didn't call esports a motorsport category, but a professional motorsport competition, yes; you don't need the "vroomvroom" for it to be motorsport racing, you just need the racing driving aspect skillset applied in motordynamics. It is ridiculous to be obtuse and not keep up with something that has been part of most big categories for years and years as a data gathering, car development and driver skill training tool that has now advanced into a professional competitive sport more accessible to the masses. Takes an enourmous amount of hours and dedication to be able to be somewhat competitive. Leclerc, Norris, Russel and even Alonso do simracing but not professionally. You see them streaming and playing for fun, and although Norris is part of a team, but they don't take part in world championships.
you cant do much in the way of accelerating early unless you're in last since you're not allowed to overtake or fall back behind the car behind you. when you have space to fall behind and do what max did.
I always wondered if sim racing like this when you are a professional driver, can lead to bad habits or even bad techniques. I get that it can be incredibly realistic & with the best equipment even better, but surely you can do things you can't in a real car.
I think Iracing teaches more good habits than bad habits, max has been racing in Iracing for a few years now and I havent seen it affect his f1 racing in anyway negatively, if anything it seems racing in Iracing made him a better, more ruthless but calculated wheel to wheel racer too.
We all wonder but in the end there is no other sim with even close as many professional racing drivers. Across all categories (Open Wheelers, GT, LMP) for every 100 professionals on iRacing, all other sims combined have about 1 professional racing. I personally don't compete on iRacing anymore since 4 years, but there must be something about it that keeps the Pros there...
It was annoying me that Alex Dunn wasn't learning from the corners max was gaining on him, it should be instinct to work that out and do something different
Man, what a thing to say if he’s second in leading the best group of cars in this field. Sometimes it’s not just only driver related. Setup and strategy play a big role too. Identical lines in non identical cars will end in very non-identical performance.
@@Tristan.R.J.M it’s true but a lot of it is also driver related, he was conservative on a few corners, turn 2 for example, he just wasnt carrying speed into the corner like max was, I don’t think that’s setup, could be but could also be the guy not realising quite what the car can do and what line to take, but you are right tho
its very well could be a car setup thing, which he couldn't have changed after the race started. i know max and team redline spend days perfecting their setup before races.
@@fruitygranulizer540 Yeah but so do the other drivers, everyone taking part in this will have practiced and spent a lot of time working on setup, granted max has money to hire the best people to help him, but even the most optimal setup won’t help a sub optimal driver Setup is just thing that accommodates characteristics of the track and driver, but it’s mostly the driver that takes advantage of it and performs. You can still perfect racing lines and carry decent speed with almost no setup at all, it’s mostly about how you adapt to the setup and carry optimal speed around it I think Dunn wasn’t optimising certain corners basically, I think max has a particular technique where he finds the very edge of grip of every corner in practice and then with that knowledge and confidence takes the widest smoothest line possible through most corners, maximising the track and curbs perfectly, most drivers are too scared to do this because it’s hard and it’s risky, max can do this every lap over and over again
Before I watch this, just checking for authenticity , does he sulk and dive bomb a corner to push someone off the truck and then try to keep the position?
@@FredbullGamingWhere do you see the lights? Or anything indicating that the race has started? I been watching the start multiple times, still have no idea, other than the race clock. Which, if you would only consider the clock, it does seem like he jumpstarted.
@@FredbullGaming But I mean, how can we then be sure he didn't jump start? Or do you get immediately penalized if you do (and he didn't, so that's how we know)?
yet I met A. Gionanazzi in a race today, was racing a few GT real drivers too, and finally, here we could see Verstappen in action. Why they choose iRacing? :) It's the best racing simulator at the market and PS1 graphics doesnt change the fact :) You may go play Forza with better graphics of course, cornering your VW Passat at 300km/h with no problem.
@@raga4822struck a nerve a little there? lol You know, iRacing doesn’t need to look like a PS1 game to be the best simulator in mass usage. ACC isn’t a lesser sim because it targeted higher graphical fidelity. The decision is more of a business one. Major graphics overhauls are not cheap and would it exclude a significant portion of paying member base if the minimum system requirements increased? An iRacing 2 at this point would be divisive and controversial. Some players can make iRacing look much better in many areas but choose not to so they don’t take the hit to performance. In other words the game doesn’t need to look like GT7/FM to be the best racing sim either. I do think PS1 graphics is a bit harsh. I thought they looked at least like PS2 graphics. 😉

Takes an enourmous amount of hours and dedication to be able to be somewhat competitive. Leclerc, Norris, Russel and even Alonso do simracing but not professionally. You see them streaming and playing for fun, and although Norris is part of a team, but they don't take part in world championships.
Max Pinched Alex Dunne into that wall, greeasy
He had the racing line, Alex got scared and turned in too much and hit the wall,
That's just racing
Huh, so thats why they say its lonely up there
Max was one of my very best students.
Did actually somebody recognize, that the Avatar of MaxVerstappen is a picture of LewisHamilton?💡
that was just his mates trolling
The lapping skills in GTP seemed shockingly low.
Embarrassing start from most of the grid, must be their first race surely 🙃
you cant do much in the way of accelerating early unless you're in last since you're not allowed to overtake or fall back behind the car behind you. when you have space to fall behind and do what max did.
Bro almost did last to first before T1 😂
I always wondered if sim racing like this when you are a professional driver, can lead to bad habits or even bad techniques. I get that it can be incredibly realistic & with the best equipment even better, but surely you can do things you can't in a real car.
I think Iracing teaches more good habits than bad habits, max has been racing in Iracing for a few years now and I havent seen it affect his f1 racing in anyway negatively, if anything it seems racing in Iracing made him a better, more ruthless but calculated wheel to wheel racer too.
Imagine a someone of that calibre playing a sim with one of the worst tire physics!
We all wonder but in the end there is no other sim with even close as many professional racing drivers. Across all categories (Open Wheelers, GT, LMP) for every 100 professionals on iRacing, all other sims combined have about 1 professional racing. I personally don't compete on iRacing anymore since 4 years, but there must be something about it that keeps the Pros there...
i went from 5th to first in my 5th every online race, so i must be as good as Max right 🤣
Is he drives Alex to the wall?
Hmm. Looks like it but there was no very distinct visual cue that they made contact. Would be good to see more angles of what happened.
Is this the real Max Verstappen. If not he drives a lot like him
Is the real one
It was annoying me that Alex Dunn wasn't learning from the corners max was gaining on him, it should be instinct to work that out and do something different
Man, what a thing to say if he’s second in leading the best group of cars in this field.
Sometimes it’s not just only driver related. Setup and strategy play a big role too. Identical lines in non identical cars will end in very non-identical performance.
@@Tristan.R.J.M it’s true but a lot of it is also driver related, he was conservative on a few corners, turn 2 for example, he just wasnt carrying speed into the corner like max was, I don’t think that’s setup, could be but could also be the guy not realising quite what the car can do and what line to take, but you are right tho
its very well could be a car setup thing, which he couldn't have changed after the race started. i know max and team redline spend days perfecting their setup before races.
@@fruitygranulizer540 Yeah but so do the other drivers, everyone taking part in this will have practiced and spent a lot of time working on setup, granted max has money to hire the best people to help him, but even the most optimal setup won’t help a sub optimal driver
Setup is just thing that accommodates characteristics of the track and driver, but it’s mostly the driver that takes advantage of it and performs. You can still perfect racing lines and carry decent speed with almost no setup at all, it’s mostly about how you adapt to the setup and carry optimal speed around it
I think Dunn wasn’t optimising certain corners basically, I think max has a particular technique where he finds the very edge of grip of every corner in practice and then with that knowledge and confidence takes the widest smoothest line possible through most corners, maximising the track and curbs perfectly, most drivers are too scared to do this because it’s hard and it’s risky, max can do this every lap over and over again
can we get rid of the lewis picture somehow?
Pic of Hamilton bro 💀💀💀
Before I watch this, just checking for authenticity ,
does he sulk and dive bomb a corner to push someone off the truck and then try to keep the position?
Other is human??
yes
How is he not given a penalty for that start? Haha
Because lights where green. Brilliant start 😂
When lights are green, lights are green
@@FredbullGamingWhere do you see the lights? Or anything indicating that the race has started? I been watching the start multiple times, still have no idea, other than the race clock. Which, if you would only consider the clock, it does seem like he jumpstarted.
@@revirdkcalb you dont see the green light because it s not verstappen streaming. But max do see the lights
@@FredbullGaming But I mean, how can we then be sure he didn't jump start? Or do you get immediately penalized if you do (and he didn't, so that's how we know)?
Looks like he spun out Alex dunne at 31:56
Usual from crashstappen when he's in a battle on track
Looked like no contact. Need replays to check more.
playstation 1 graphics 😄
yet I met A. Gionanazzi in a race today, was racing a few GT real drivers too, and finally, here we could see Verstappen in action. Why they choose iRacing? :)
It's the best racing simulator at the market and PS1 graphics doesnt change the fact :)
You may go play Forza with better graphics of course, cornering your VW Passat at 300km/h with no problem.
@@raga4822struck a nerve a little there? lol
You know, iRacing doesn’t need to look like a PS1 game to be the best simulator in mass usage. ACC isn’t a lesser sim because it targeted higher graphical fidelity.
The decision is more of a business one. Major graphics overhauls are not cheap and would it exclude a significant portion of paying member base if the minimum system requirements increased? An iRacing 2 at this point would be divisive and controversial. Some players can make iRacing look much better in many areas but choose not to so they don’t take the hit to performance. In other words the game doesn’t need to look like GT7/FM to be the best racing sim either.
I do think PS1 graphics is a bit harsh. I thought they looked at least like PS2 graphics. 😉
Do these people even know who theyre racing? Who he is?
Yes they know
the esports drivers are more involved in racing than any fan every will be, no shit they know who max verstappen is
ps3 graphics
Great drive but the start etiquette was poor. Hanging back and then accelerating to get a jump on the guys in front is a massive no no
It's technically legal
giga video thanks @pablogz
