🔴 The Mistakes Ferrari Made in Imola
• The Mistakes Ferrari M...
Charles Leclerc has made some sizable errors this season. Smashing it over the curb at Imola, leading to a trip to the barrier. Then was just pushing it too far this week, venturing onto a dirty patch of the circuit and sending him into the wall.
These seem like huge errors, ones that may rule him out of the championship this year - but I’m not so sure. How many mistakes had Max and Lewis made by this point last season?
Let’s get into it.
So what mistakes am I on about? Well, there are two main mistakes this season that I would class as a ‘Big Deal’.
The first would be the chicane in Imola - Charles was pushing too hard and LAUNCHED it over the curb.
Go back and look at that replay, he brakes too late and enters the corner with WAY too much speed. He then takes too much curb, leading to the plank hitting the sausage curb and pirouetting his Ferrari into the wall.
A slam dunk driver mistake. He was in third at the time, but it sent him down to 8th. The final result was 7th, but that cost him 7 points. And in a championship where two drivers have pretty equal cars, that’s a lot.
Then there is the mistake in France, Verstappen had put incredible pressure on Charles, and neither had made any mistakes. So Verstappen boxed to overtake, with Charles staying out.
To avoid the undercut Leclerc was pushing SO hard, and went off at Turn 11. The double left.
Now this is a really difficult corner, I have driven a few F1 cars around this circuit - and they present a unique challenge as they take so much speed through that double right.

I don’t think Charles makes too many mistakes but it certainly doesn’t help when Ferrari are so mistake prone and you have one of the most consistent drivers in recent memory as your title opponent
Your memory must be short if you dont remember really consistant driver named Lewis Hamilton.
@@nakki123 "one of" Must hurt to have your brain mate.
@@nakki123Lol typical Hamilton fan. If you'd read, he says "ONE OF THE most consistent drivers". Sure Hamilton has proven to be a consistent driver but that's not at all what the comment above was about.
@@nakki123 fans like u make HAMILTON look Bad .
@@benign2859 Well name a F1 season where you could affort crashing here and there and still win a title?
Crazy to think that last year Merc and Redbull didn’t have a mechanical DNF all season
Ferrari didn't have any mechanical DNF last year, either. The V6 power units have became really stable since Honda conquer ed the "GP2 engine".
I guess it’s just because they had been with those cars regulations for years at the time, this is still very early with these new cars so over the next few years I feel there will be less and less
@@newt2253 also factor in the freeze on engine development, besides for the sake of reliability. Means there’s more benefit (in the long run) to have a better performing unreliable engine that you can fix later
@@GreatJO The GP2 Engine was a result of McLaren not allowing the engine enough cooling AND Honda giving in to them. If you look at McLaren after switching away from Honda we still see the same kind of failures which are directly attributable to lack of cooling and moving the engine (the whole package) out of its reliable operating temperature. Last year and this year we are still seeing the same indications of overheating leading to failures; they have simply not learned to control temperatures in their core power train - maybe Honda not screaming at them to change is partly at fault (bullies don't change until you hit them square in the face) but Renault did not complain (because they needed money) and Mercedes are not making enough noise about McLaren's poor packaging last year and this but likely on competitive grounds. On the other hand, Red Bull worked with Honda and gave the package the literal space needed for the engine to breath and not die like a dog locked in a car parked in the desert sun.
Abu Dhabi Perez DNF
it's not just a driver or a car .it should be a perfect team ,driver, car, strategy that's how lh got a 7 years of championship in his hands. Doesn't matter if you hate lh or max it should be a perfect combo with car, driver and team.
Nah his car was just way way faster
@@Messimo-Il-Predestinato no he's right. You need everything in check to win, not just a fast car. Ferrari's car is fast, but everything else is so shit it makes it worthless in the big picture
Yea but with an inferior driver Ferrari would've won at least 2 during that era. Possibly 1 for RB as well. 4 out of 8 would still have been impressive but LH made sure it was 7 out of 8.
Coming from a Dutch Max fan with not much love for LH antics.
LH had an extremely perfect car. He wasn’t perfect most of those years, far from it
@@Messimo-Il-Predestinato and he delivered it. He drive it better PLUS the reliability of their car and strategy = winning. Ferrari need to be better as a RACING TEAM.
For a f1 driver no he doesn't make too many mistakes. For a f1 World Champion yes he does make too many mistakes
It should also be stated that Verstappen is driving as consistently as he ever has as far as I can tell. The guy's like a machine.
Like Hamilton before him. Max too. Charles needs to get a grip this weekend with a win.
exactly an automaton, no racecraft , he's no Alonso!
@@alimantado373 someone can still have racecraft if he's driving consistently.
max has primed over the years charles still needs time with ferrari plus max dont have to deal with the pressure like ferrari puts on their driver
@@scrubvision5652 well Red Bull is known for putting immense pressure on their drivers so I think the main problem tjay Charles has is his team constantly seeming to do everything they can to make his life difficult.
I also want to mention that what led to Charles' error in Imola was another strategy mistake. He tried to compensate for it but pushed too much
I feel like a lot of people are defending Charles' misstakes like youre doing right now. I see your point, but whatever position your team puts you in you shouldnt crack that hard under pressure losing big points in a championship fight. He'll definitely get there tho i'd say next year he wont be making those misstakes much
@@Jonathan-mj1oe I don’t know if I’d call it cracking under pressure. It’s more of an experience/maturity thing I think. More experienced/mature drivers will push the car, but probably not as hard as charles did. They’ll be a little less emotional in their actions and should have a better response to the situation.
Charles obviously wanted the win he deserved, but because of strategy error he couldn’t get it. Understandably, he was pissed. He pushed the car to try and retake first when what he probably should have done was push the car enough to put pressure on red bull to make mistakes.
He definitely learned from it and will be better cause of it.
@@Jonathan-mj1oe the team told him to push harder with consumed tires while max was catching up instead of box for new tires, so thr chanches to make a fatal mistake are higher if the team put the driver in a even worse condition
I dont know why ppl complaining and blaming charles for his forst big mistake
@@Jonathan-mj1oe tell me when and where cl16 make did mistake. Imola and last one, are 1.5 mistakes
One of Charles' biggest strength is taking full responsibility for mistakes he made and learning from it. As funny as "I am stupid" was, it demonstrates his mentality well.
He can't really blame Ferrari 'cause they'll sack him for it, so I don't blame him
@James Black yeah only if he had another seat at a top team ready but it's not worth it for him rn
Another problem for Charles is the simple fact that Max, this season, is virtually faultless (so far).
And will probably stay faultless, since Max isn't pushed especially now
Leclerc reminds me a lot of Mika Hakkinen
Supremely fast but can make some errors
Remember when Mika crashed out of the lead in Imola and Monza.
Mika won his titles in his 30s so Charles will hopefully mature a lot he’s just 24
I fear that might be the case. He needs to mature quickly because luck plays a huge part in winning in F1 and who knows when will Ferrari produce a quick car like this again. Also F1 is a race of who is quickest, but with 22 races it is marathon really and test of consistency with pace nowadays.
I think Ferrari is just a shit team and some how ruin champions, look at all the drivers who failed at Ferrari and then it’s clear something is wrong with that team
@@SelfImprovement1111 Alonso got within 7 points of 2 wdc with that team I don't know how he can still wake up and not feel depressed
Too early to tell but yes good shout, there have really been only Michael and Lewis transcended this level. Can Max get there?
@@channelbree In my humble opinion, most definitely.
One mistake is too many when you’re up against Max Verstappen and Red Bull
yeah.. the problem is when leclerc didn't make any, ferrari did..
@@davidaprians He did at least 2, but it would be okay if therrari would not be as stupid.
@@davidaprians hi charles
@@davidaprians he did 2 Imola and France
Well red bull, because Vettal before him was a lot harder to go up against than max
The problem isn't that Charles is making alot of mistakes, it's that Max this year is on another level. He just doesn't make mistakes and punishes anyone who does.
Max has made mistakes, he just hasn’t been as punished by them In the points. He went into the gravel in Spain. He should have been on pole at Miami and admitted as much. Now of course he did well to recover from these mistakes and they haven’t cost him points, but it isn’t to say he has been perfect all year.
He has probably been the best driver all year though
yeah he’s been really patient and mature in his approach to sundays. see: french gp post-race interview
Agreed, last season taught Max a lot about how to manage a season, especially when you know you have a quick car. Charles’ inexperience of challenging for a title and Red Bull just generally walking these roads many times before will likely be the difference between them this season.
Can already tell next season when all the teams have learnt from all mistakes this season and understand the new cars, will be insane
@@josephdemarchi2128 Spain is hardly his mistake and Quali mistakes are all minor unless you really fuck up imo. Not faultless but not any big mistakes.
I think there's a very big difference between a mistake during a battle that allows someone to overtake you or causes a crash between two cars and the 'unforced errors' made by Leclerc this year.
So yes, crashing out on your own twice during one half of a season is definitely too much if you want to be a title contender.
add to that the unforced errors from the Ferrari "strategy team" and even coming 2nd in the constructors is starting to look shaky.
Doesn't help that Ferrari strategists and reliability issues have pretty much forced him to push the car to even have a chance at beating Max.
@@AbsoleteAim he made these mistakes early on before it became a team issue
@@jdhawkins09 The team was already having issues before his first error.
I think because there's so few chances to actually have a good race due to bad strategy and reliability it leads to him overdriving and him making smaller errors because he knows how few chances he'll get to actually stand a chance to win
Max and Lewis knocked eachother, Leclerc knocked himself...
True
I think ferrari knocked leclerc
With a little dash of help from Ferrari.
I think this is the big difference. Of course Max was putting him under pressure in France, but ironically he went off when Max wasn't there. Probably because he was racing himself and time instead of a visible opponent behind him. It's so difficult to remain calm and at the same time push at the very limit to prevent an undercut in this case.
Love the vids dude, my fav f1 vids by far. Keep it up
I would class your channel along with that of PW as about the only genuinely original and informed content on you tube F1 scene. Intelligent analysis actually worth listening to. Many thanks!
Well explained!
He makes mistakes we all do, I think it’d help him focus better if the Ferrari was a little bit more reliable and the team didn’t keep making silly decisions.
Let’s hope he has a better weekend this weekend and really ups his game.
i mean were talking of fighting for the championship mistakes shouldn't be made. i mean that's why vettel lost in 2017-2018. Why lewis lost in 2007,2021. But the team also shouldn't be making strategy mistakes after all that's some people only job. And dnf is just part of the sport.
I think the sizable lead he lost because of the strategic blunders and sparkly turbos has had a big role in his mistakes. He is pushing it right to the edge all of the time. Its bad for consistency and tire saving. Max right now doesnt need to. You could see max making more errors when hamilton and mercedez got it together again in the last third of the season
If not for reliability issues and bad strategies, Leclerc would be leading in the Championship. The pressure on him would be far lighter.
@@GreatJO well idk if he would be leading because max also had 2 mechanical dnfs which is same as leclerc and the only other strategic mess ups I can think of is Monaco and silver stone but in silver stone sainz would probably have won even if they did pit leclerc
Sainz would have won in silver stone because leclerc had end plate damage but would have been close and yes the gap would have been smaller between max and him
@@GreatJO Max also had mechanical DNFs?
@@danbruh33 actually Charles was still faster in Silverstone than Sainz despite his damage, and in the races they both DNFed Charles was in first while Max was in second, so not only did Charles lose more points than Max when he DNFed but Max gained points
What a great way to compare (Lec vs Ham & Ver). Thanks for this! 👏🏻
Not really, pressure was on last year on both Lewis and Max. This year the mistake Charles did was outrageous from a driver competing for WDC, considering he was 10 sec ahead of 2nd driver. Last time something like that happened in dry? 2005.
Great vid mate! But wish you covered the Ferrari mistakes as well.
It’s one of those scenarios where RB and Mercs have such reliability and the Ferraris do not, that he’s got to find it within to be the source of reliability, and thats exceptionally tough for a young man under pressure
Nice to have a video without scarbs interrupting, it has a way better flow, you are a phenomenal presenter and explainer! Keep it up :)
6:27 In portugal their mistakes cancelled each other out.
Lewis mistake on restart and jumped by Max
Max made a mistake following to close behind bottas, catching oversteer and then getting overtaken by Lewis
Mercedes had the better car that weekend as well, so Lewis might have passed Max even without the error.
They had better car whole year, and even so, only managed to "win" WCC by stealing if from Red Bull when Bottas torpedo-DNF both of their cars costing them easy 70 points swing. Without it, it wouldn't be even close. I have no idea how LH fanboys have the gall to whine about last race after that, better driver won WDC, any other result would be a disgrace...
@@KuK137 Anything else you want to get off your chest 😂😂😂
@@KuK137 Circuit dependent but you are right. Mercedes were faster on many tracks,even at the start of the year.
Overall, Merc were faster at about 60% of the tracks (including some by a huge margin), and rb quicker at about 40% of tracks.
@@KuK137 better car the whole year? Literally everyone who isn’t a Verstappen fan agrees Red Bull were superior most of the year
@@agent6599 I disagree though, Mercedes had an edge on more tracks than rb, you can break it down track by track. What rb did well at was taking wins at tracks they were very close(e.g. imola/france/usa/zanvdvoort). Yes contrary to popular belief, they were really close in Zandvoort.
The one where merc stole the win was bahrain. Where RB were probably 0.2s/lap faster on average. But then there was 3 week break and merc caught up
You said it VERY quickly but the 76 points lost on the team side includes reliability. Max also lost a bunch there. Plus he hit debris at Silverstone which is mostly bad luck. Adds up to...?
at that same race in silverstone ferrari mistakes sainz as number 1 driver an left charles dry loosing 13 points an the 6 pts he took from Max's lead was hardly put a dent in it.
Ferrari should've pitted both cars since they would've been smart enough to know lewis would've pitted an checo would've pitted since he legally has to change compounds. Ferrari is just like mercedes last year but even more stupid, the one chance they got at eating a ton of points from max they screw it all up. I bet if max catches covid an sits out 1 race ferrari would still mess up badly ha ING both cars finish out side the points lmao
Such a great channel
We should turn a chess board around, Max is doing insane job for past 1.5 seasons.
Maybe Charles’s mistakes would be acceptable against ordinary championship contenders, but not against Max and Lewis.
Max's car is. he's had four plus mistakes noted in this video and thus season several dnfs and that embarassing unforced spin at Hungary. he is going to do so bad once he leaves red bull.
Hamilton mistakes 2021:
• Crashed into gravel in Imola - saved by red flag to repair car and make up lost lap
• Brake magic in Baku - went from second to last
• Monaco - Totally off the pace, even behind Bottas
• Silverstone - crashed into Max, and got saved by red flag to repair damage
• Hungary - wrong tyre call when the rest of the grid chose slicks, lost easy win
• Russia - crashed in pitlane during qualifying
• Russia - spun in Q3
Hamilton's Luck:
• Max's tyre blow out in Baku
• Saved by red flag to make up lost lap in Imola
• Crashed into Max in Silverstone and didn't suffer damage
• Bottas wiped out both Red Bull drivers in Hungary!
• Last minute rain in Russia
Max Mistakes:
• Oversteer after overtaking Lewis in Bahrain
• Saudi Q3 crash, rear ending Hamilton
• Maybe consider Monza incident
• Small error in Portugal and France (won anyway)
• Silverstone - crashed into Max, and got saved by red flag to repair damage
• Crashed into Max in Silverstone and didn't suffer damage
hammy living rent free baby!!!!!!!!!
I mis the part where Max was lucky last year..
@@guidoschmidt100 not getting penalised in Brazil maybe, but there wasn't much!
Another one basking in the glory of their own bias, still fixated on the past
I felt so bad for him, but I have to say, I've been just loving this season as a fan.
Agreed, it’s been very exciting. I’m not a huge mercades fan, but I’m happy to see them getting in the fight for pole. And mid field is getting spicy!
The midfield is amazing. The front is so boring I hate they only televise the lead which rarely changes.
Although 2021 spawned a lot of absolute jackass fans, I still think it’s way more exciting than this year. I do enjoy 2022 tho, insane midfield battles.
@@Michallote alpine are super fun to watch
@@hifriend7581 the 2021 fans need to go mate they defend max or lewis like their life depends on it
Some crazy music in the background lol
I can’t recall Max or Lewis making mistakes when they are driving by themselves with a gap with very little pressure, even if they are fighting an undercut. That is the main difference for me
Hamilton in Monza
He's merely speedrunning the Ferrari Driver Experience.
He has experienced the Sbinnala, now watch as his hairline fades and he has to make strategy calls while racing flat out.
Difference being he doesn't have a WDC to his name. Honestly Charles should jump ship to Mercedes the moment Lewis retires.
I don’t know if Merc would want him really. If they view George as successor to Lewis they would rather give him a great 2nd driver like Bottass. Also Charles won’t leave Ferrari. They both have blind love for one another.
i agree with your conclusion.
First thing I thought when I saw the mistake was 'Ooh I wonder what Scott Mansell' will think of that?
can you explain the VSC please, from the driverpoint of veiw
I have the perspective that;
1- Max is driving like he has too many penalty points that don't go away until November I believe, and with a stricter enforcement this season = calculated and low risk precision driving
2- Charles is driving like he's chasing a Championship with nothing to lose, always pushing the limit like Max did last year
3- Carlos was over the limit last year but reeled it in by mid season, this year he built up his pace and confidence, but has yet to hit the limit and may even stop just short and allowing himself to become consistent at the quicker pace.
3- Checo is trying to use his tire guru advantage while simultaneously providing defence, default of quali grid results, but he has yet to find the sweet spot...may be due to new tire heating and management...learning curve for lack of better words.
Outside of that it's hard to say as the season has offered some strange and wild outcomes...Williams 1-3 in FP3 today for instance, well deserved Nicky!!
I hadn't thought of the decreasing radius of the corner exit in France, but greasy tires at that track temperature, something's got to give. I watched IndyCar at Mosport, and you could see the trouble some drivers have problems with this type of corner.
This is because the more rotation you get, faster you are, and you get rotation with throttle in this situation
at 4:30 i see a vehicle close to/entering the track , and ask myself , havent they learned from cranes on Suzuka ?
Hi Driver61, I have a question? I think I read somewhere that Sainz took a penalty for taking not 1 but 2 new engines. But how many engines are you allowed to change per time (
because in a way you could allocate 10 new engines and take 1500 gridpenalties?)
No no, Charles did make one mistake before Max went into pits. There was this one late breaking and we imidiately saw Max taking this oportunity.
Hey @driver61 what happened aroun 2:04 - 2:07 of the video? Is there a glitch or am I hearing something wrong.
Could you please talk about Michelin tires how were they performing compare to todays Pirelli tires
Great vodeo
The team has had such bad stragety that when reliability issues pop up they shoot themselves in the foot. Hard to run with a bullet in the foot.
As always good content. I want to hear your voice, the music effects should be more in the background...
Nice video, Ferrari should blame themselves, so many mishaps.
That Saudi lap in quali by Max was one of the most spectacular things in the '21 season. Alonso was looking at the lap while speaking to the media and he gasped with the sector times! It was worth the crash!
Leclerc is still very young. It’s his first season that he is a real title contender tbh. He will learn from these mistakes and he will be a world champion in the next years! Forza Ferrari
funny thing is Max and charles are the same age. But max came in F1 so early that it makes him seem older
@@maxgrobben967 nah everybody knows Verstappen is 24 but he came in F1 at 17, so he has 7 years of experience. In his first couple off season me made also mar mistakes and caused accidents tho. There’s a reason he has the most points on his license of any driver.
@@Messimo-Il-Predestinato dude tahts literally what i said. i'm a max fan ofcourse i know he has been there since 17. but honestly jeddah was not deserved in my opinion though.
The problem isn’t that Charles is making too many mistakes it’s that the team is throwing away point and max isn’t making any mistakes at all
This chanel has a video to answer the cuestion you haven't asked about F1 .
"I've been lucky enough to drive a few F1 cars around this circuite..."
Pfff, yeah... I do that every Sunday. Show off. 😏😁
sector 3 is really challenging although it's flat, imagine if it had an elevation change
It would be good to compare the number of major errors and minor errors between Charles and Lando as the feeling I have is that Lando rarely makes an error in driving.
Would love a Leclerc driving style analysis. He seems to like a car that oversteers the most on the grid; especially if you look at his hand during laps. He also doesn’t seem so stiff at the wheel; his hands, especially.
That's why he's also so good with the piano
What I am surprised from his spin and then crash is that he didn't try to save it. Perhaps it is just too fast to avoid crashing to the barriers. Do you think he has any chance to try to save it after it started spinning?
I think if he does what Vettel or Max would do which is to let go of the brakes to strategically glide the car in a different direction. He could have survive the spin.
The difference is that Charles keeps binning it while leading and not during racing battles like every one you showed with Lewis and Max were.
I kinda disagree, although i like leclerc he made the mistakes when he wasn’t battling and was not able to recover. They are unforced errors with big consequences. Last year i only see Hamilton in Imola and max with his q3 lap with unforced errors. However they both managed to recover losing the minimal amount of points. I think leclerc will learn a lot from this year and will be ready next year. The guy is really rapid and a good racer but needs to know when a p2 or p3 is the maximum result and not try to hard to achieve that impossible p1. Cause lets not forget that Max had his fair share of unlucky moments this year as well and yet he had this lead.
Hamilton in baku also, in that case his 1 mistake literally costed him the season
@@dimitribarbe6883 true but that was at restart. Pressure situation with final few laps. Charles was coasting in France.
@@utkarshtyagi10 ‘pressure’ he just tapped a button
2022 Mistakes list:
Max
Bahrain - Not tactical with overtaking strategies (Damage - None, DNfed anyway)
Spain - Ran onto gravel (Damage- None)
Charles
Imola - Pushed too hard and spun (Damage - Small)
France - Crashed from lead (Damage - Big)
His Bahrain errors cost Verstappen nothing at all. A DNF is a DNF whether it happens from dead last or the lead of the race.
Music seemed a bit distracting this episode guys
1:49 Rather 39 or 25 points depending on if he had been passed by Max later on in France or not.
There's another video where they show the last two CLC laps side by side and before going out he is in the same position and has exactly the same speed in both laps (he was faster until that point in the last lap, but then it drops to 171 mph in both), but in one he keeps braking and goes out.
He's Probably Trying to Organise his Tyre Strategy and Pit Stops because Ferrari can't without stuffing it up.
I think you're slightly off with the analysis of the comparison between the mistakes. Nearly all of, if not all, of the mistakes you mentioned for Max and Lewis were involving some form of overtake. Charles' error in France wasn't around an overtake so could be classed as an unforced error (an error which has nothing to do with an opponent but the pressure you place on yourself)? This therefore would make Charles' error worse?
4th view. Thanks for your videos all these years, Scott and Team! ❤️
Well, driver error to team error, point deficit just got bigger towards the team today at Hungary. Lol
Not sure if I agree with this analysis. Everyone makes mistakes, but what counts is when you make them and what the effect of it is. With most of the incidents mentioned between Max and Lewis last year, they either just switched positions or still had an opportunity to do pretty effective damage control. Only Hamiltons mistake at Baku did cost him dearly in the championship. And that moment of Max at Bahrein, is that really a mistake or just a failed attempt to overtake when two drivers are really pushing each other to the very limit?
Leclerc on the other hand now has made two big mistakes he couldn't recover from. And both times when he wasn't under direct pressure, these weren't mistakes while fighting for position. Combined with the both tactical and technical vulnerability of Ferrari, Leclerc does need a bit of a miracle to make Verstappen nervous. The championship certainly isn't over yet, but Verstappen is leading much more comfortably than he should have been, considering how close the actual racing between the two is.
Seems like it's the issues that plagued Vetel's seasons in Ferrari ... last few years ferrari have been woeful on strategy calls and the drivers seem to suffer from that pressure on them by Ferrari ... If Ver keeps the consistency going then he'll be unstoppable. Ferr just don't have it all hooked up yet and Merc are still fighting to get up there. Ver needs to make the most of the next couple races and it'll make it almost a shoe in for 2022
People only have this stigma on him because his team makes a lot of mistakes and strategic errors whereas his rival max is literal autopilot in a person and they’re being compared constantly
I mean a few rounds in we had the same conversation about RB and Max, so yeah.
Ive been sim racing for a few years now, so im a far superior driver then any of these F1 drivers and even i make mistakes. It happens
Do you think theres any possibility that, one day, every F1 team and their drivers could be almost near equal? Basically a racing season where every team wins at least one race in P1. That would be an absolutely fascinating season🙌
Why aren’t the actual race clips being showed in the video? It’s the same on other F1 channels.
Seems to me it would constitute “fair use”, which allows the use of copyrighted material for commentary, criticism and similar.
Can someone explain to me the magic that was turned on in Baku ‘21 or point me to a video that does
It is a bit "mierenneuken" as we call it here to talk about things like Max going wide and other small stuff while comparing it to Charles's 2 big mistakes. In that case you should either factor in his slides and other small mistakes as well or don't do it at all.
Exactly this.
Ferrari fan here who supports the team more than the driver and I agree 100% with what you say on this video.
Reason why Merc and RB were still on top last year is because of team strategies and reliability. Drivers made many mistakes.
Ferrari shouldn't have put him in a position to be try-hard over the limit situation, just give him a comfortable strategy... maybe until he learns more and more adapted to the car...
Its his first season challenging for the championship and is part of the learning curve.
The thing is, Max hasnt really made mistakes that cost him points, last year both sides made mistakes, this year its just 1 driver mostly
The big difference is Charles's mistakes takes him out of the race, not just losing a few positions.
yea max finished P2 or P1 every race last year except hungary or DNFs even lewis didn't match that
That gift by hamilton in baku becuz of the magic brakes
My god
Life saver for mv
Considering Leclerc is 2nd in the championship with 170points, 3 wins and 5 podiums the obvious answer to this question is no.
Look at those who make very few 'mistakes' and where are they in the championship?
Considering he threw away 40 plus points the obvious answer to this question is *Yes*.
The ones with few mistakes and where they are:
P7, Norris, 70p
P5, Russell, 143p
P1, Verstappen, 233p
My biggest pet peeve with fans of any sports and their expectations is that we, as observers, take for granted the consistent performances proffesional athletes put in to be at the top of their game.
It's almost "expected" for a world chamption to show up to any race and drive 50-70 laps within tenths or even hundreths of a seconds of the theoretical maximum pace of the car and not put "a foot wrong".
I think people tend to forget these drivers are only human after all. It is not "normal" to have just a handful of mistakes across thousands of racing laps.
That is not normal- that is GREATNESS.
I have subscribed m'Lord
I agree that Charles hasn't made too many driver errors so far this season. Last year we saw both championship contenders had multiple "big deal" or "minor mistake" type of incidents but most of them resulted in the drivers losing 1 or 2 positions. This single mistake from Leclerc in France potentially cost him 32 points in the championship (he would've narrowed the gap by 7 points, but instead Max's lead increased by 25 points).
It's impossible for a driver to not have a single mistake throughout the whole season and it's unfair to expect a mistake-free season from any driver when they are constantly on the limit. The most important thing is that you make fewer mistakes and whether you can minimise the damage in the standings.
It's easier to make mistakes in a car that's not consistent or that's very unforgiving when driven on the edge.
Some vehicles gives a lot of feedback allowing the driver to fine tune the driving while others are perfect up to the point where it's just losing it and can't be recovered.
Was this music always there in the videos? Made it difficult to understand what you were saying at times
Completely agree. Racing at top level is hard enough, and when you are pushing for wins, it's even harder. Charles is doing really solidly this year. Good battles, smart decisions... But then comes Ferrari like they didn't have experience of all F1 years and do strategy shenanigans. Charles has several years in F1 now, and each year he was really good, even improved over time and they treat him like some kid. You need to listen to your drivers.
when you finally going to get an @f1 video license so you can properly show up the footage when you break it down?
Yes, and just think. They thought Seb was to mistake stricten ... funny how that's worked out.
Tack on some more points lost due to Ferrari today
One thing is certain in F1 - there will always be someone under the microscope in the media. This is simply the biggest target and highest profile position Ferrari has been in for a while, and who doesn't like focusing on the biggest, oldest name in Formula 1. This is no different than with HAAS early on, with Kmag having some good races and the chatter began on replacing Mick midseason. Well, 2 things happened, Mick had some good races and Ferrari's started blowing up - UH-OH, RED! it's all about red now! If not for reliability, Charles would be in the lead even with his mistakes.
The dynamics of F1 are a crazy bunch of critters.
You look at grid and try to think who would be world champion material, and no one has shown their more capable of achieving this goal than Charles. He just has so much pressure on him right now.
Never forget: The qualifying mistake at Saudi Arabia happened in the sector Mr. Horner called "easy" :)
That’s like buying a land in the moon and have no access to it. Land NFTs, lol
Radio button in ferrari is also a self destruct button
"all drivers make mistakes". I think we all can agree with that. Except that sentence made me thinking... did Alonso make any driving mistake? i can't find any (he's just terrible at picking its next team xD)
I think Leclerc will keep the fight going to Verstappen this year but Ferrari won't win. This is just training his mental game and slightly improving his driving by just not making these small mistakes.
Well according to binotto, to win wdc or wcc wasn’t the goal this season. The goal was to win races. Which they have completed. Whether you want to believe that or not is up to you. I am not 100% sold on it, I think it’s just an excuse. But if it’s true their goal next season would be to win wdc and wcc
Dude im Ferrari fan for 30 years now im done with this shit they have super fast car great drivers but Bad strategists and this strategy bullshit is carrying for years now I remember even in time when Alonso was in Ferrari same shit how can u call yourself one of Greatest teams in f1 without good Strategy team!
@@djula29 yeah… I think Ferrari need a reform of some sort
Leclerc makes mistakes when nobody is around and so did Lewis... Max makes "mistakes" in battle... That's a big difference..
In terms of Ferrari’s engine troubles this is better than the alternative. A slower but reliable engine. As they can fix reliability under engine freeze but cannot fix power issues
Barry R is just a great guy that everyone ends up with during the championship... 😄
Good old Barry R, a frequent acquaintance of Nicholas Latifi.
Subscribed to this channel early as it had great insight into race craft. Now it's this disrespecting driver click bait nonsense.
No one is perfect. This happens sometimes to every Ferrari driver.
