- Formula 1 is BACK in China with a great strategic race in Shanghai. It was great to see the drivers racing around this track once again with the home hero of Zhou Guanyu experiencing his first home grand prix.

We also learned that stroll is blind and should not be allowed to drive...
Why are you insulting blind people like this bro? My blind, crippled and severely demented grandmother could drive better than this
@@janzwendelaar907In the US we would refer you to Ángel Hernández who has been a blind baseball umpire for almost 30 years and even he would have seen the RB
its not exactly new information tho...
It's not so much the mistake he made looking at the apex in a safety car situation towards a sharp corner, it's more that he put the blame on Ricciardo in front of him. It show's you don't understand you have to look to the guy in front of you and slow down sooner. Everyone makes mistakes but when you refuse to learn from it your a rich kid again who's daddy insures his stay and backs up his son no matter what. Oh well what do you expect from the top 1%.
We learned that Aston Martin is trying to win the constructors championship with just one driver
Why not? Red Bull won the constructors championship in 2023 with just one driver…
This has been know for awhile
@@timonsolusbecause to win the constructors by yourself you need Max nobody else will get you close.😂
@tjayk9127 I’m pretty sure Hamilton won constructors as a driver a few times. His dominant era wasn’t too long ago. We just need a regulation delay so these cars can equalize for a 2012 for a new generation.
@@tjayk9127 : Alonso is as good as Max, Hamilton is as good as Max, Vettel was as good as Max, Schumacher was as good as Max, and Prost and Senna were as good as Max. So I’m sure that there are a couple of young drivers in the lower formulas who are as good as Max, and one of them will one day take his place.
Stroll was likely trying to lick his visor when he crashed
Gotta settle with visor when there's no window around to be licked
Yeah, the inbred never seems to amaze me
Good one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
uli: Ignorant comment from am immature minded prat.
The only thing keeping Max from winning by a minute per race is Max's engineer telling him to slow down.
No, because Max doesn’t listen to his engineer. Didn’t you see him try for fastest lap at the end?
Max is a robot, him and redbull hardly ever miss a beat
Missing a Red Box for Stroll
What we learned the Red Bull isn’t a World beater and can be beat but Max is one of the all time greats and gets every little ounce of performance out that car.. You gotta believe had Max been in Checo position today he at minimum over takes Lando…
Absolutely.
Checo fought lot of traffic 😢...
We already knew that
I'm sorry but why do we mention Aston Martin without explicitly talking about what Stroll did today? That guy has to lose his super license at this point and that is not even up for debate anymore. It΄s essential to mention the highlights of the GP, but this should have made it into the video for sure.
Yes it is up for debate, and it will continue to be, up until Lance is forced to miss a race because of too many points on his license.
I think behind the drive has always tried to stay away from Drama, or at least negative comments.
That’s why I am subscribed to him
@@timonsolus after 7+ years of reckless driving and what happened in China the debate should be over to be fair. Only thing that keeps him in the car is Lawrence.
They went with a soft with Alonso because they had no hards left. If they went for a medium, they would have finished P6 at best too (he would not have overtaken Sainz, and it's questionable whether Aston's deg on mediums would have been good enough to keep George behind)
I see what your saying but if Astin went medium at least Alonso would have had a chance to race with George👍
@@thatsjustprime8096 yeah maybe, but they also would have risked finishing lower than p7 if the mediums started falling off too fast
Either way, this cost them 1 point at most, as if he finished p6 it would have been with no fastest lap, so not many points lost
Going for softs was right, but Alonso stayed out on them too long.
The team should have reeled Alonzo in at the start because his race was never going to be with Perez (just being honest here). It was the McClaren's and Ferrari's that he needed to worry about.
Alonso was having too much fun, and wouldn’t have listened anyway.
I would also say a purple box for the track itself. The width allowed for many different lines to be used allowing overtaking and battles throughout the entire lap and through multiple corners. Proving wide tracks are better for racing like Silverstone, Bahrain, Turkey, Malaysia, and Austria.
6:49 Alonso didn’t have any more hards to pit onto. While you could argue he should’ve tried to take a set of mediums to the end, without the second SC (which couldn’t have been predicted obviously) the soft to medium strategy seems somewhat sensible.
Great summary!
Just want to say that I love your content / the work you are doing... I sincerely think that your channel should have X10 more subscribers for the quality that you provide. Best hope for your growth.
Good video Andy .. but a comment on Stroll’s reprehensible lack of situational awareness wouldn’t go amiss. The oft-used ‘20 best drivers in the world’ is quite an overstatement.
Brown box for Strollo-lollo.
It has to be a dark red box for Lance Stroll. What an awful performance and disrespectful attitude.
I strongly disagree that Alonso overused his tires at the start. Besides the first few corners when Alonso passed Perez on the outside, he did not fight Perez and did everything to minimize tire slip. The Aston Martin just burns through tires worse than any car on the grid and does not have any race pace compared to the McLaren and Ferrari.
Green box for bottling a win for Norris and a green box for Max for bottling SQ3
Red box for hamilton
I agree
Unpopular opinion: Norris is still too immature a driver to win a race. He gets so squirrelly when he’s in the hot seat for a win, but is a smooth operation for podiums where he isn’t.
I only watch for Stroll’s sake😏
Max is absolutely brilliant. Being in the fastest car with absolutely no one to challenge him makes him so good. No other driver can do that.
The only reason why Checo was not able to catch & pass Lando was because of excessive tire wear he wasted, catching & passing Charles. Had Max been in Checo's position, after his pit stop, he would have pushed, almost flat out, to pass Charles asap, then 'real in' Lando & pass asap. After that, prudent tire management would have got him home in P2.
Fernando didn’t have any hard tires…….
Alonso had no hards to go on to.
It’s annoying. ‘Finally we have a Dutchman in F1 who actually matters’ to ‘I’d be disappointed if he didn’t win every time’. Apart from that brake mishap, so far he does and it’s considered a normal day at the office. A nuisance, even. Weird how the mind works
Lando is getting better and better! Soon another world champion
Not without the best car. Which he won’t get in 2024 or 2025.
Max would be winning the championship if he was at McLaren as we speak. He’s just better than everyone else at the moment.
The fact that Max pulls away from the entire field including Perez should be enough to wake you people up that it’s not the car but I guess not. Nobody in the history of F1 has been dominating races the way Verstappen does it’s beyond “the best car”.
@@tjayk9127I consider Max the best F1 driver that has ever existed, but I don’t think he would dominate or win on the McLaren, that car understeers a lot, and Max like oversteery cars, he would win a couple of races but a WDC I doubt it.
Hulk to Mercedes
We learned that rain was the great equalizer
6:57 why did you repeat that twice?
I think we need to start a petition to kick Lance stroll out of F1... 😂
so I've heard two stories with rb was it a new chassis for danny ric or they swaped the drivers chassis to see if danny ric chassis had a problem
Ricciardo out, and Lawson in.
Not yet. Ricciardo deserves more time to prove himself. Leave him alone until the summer break. That’s the best time to make the switch. There’s still another 10 races to go after the break, time enough for Lawson to settle in.
Verstappen is on a totally different level, it's painful to watch.
Close your eyes and it's fine.Its not Ver fault ask Ham or Lec why they can't win? In few years there will be another dominating driver/team.
Headphone warning for that bell ding mate
Danny’s best race in a long time. Thanks Stroll
The patting of the back of Riccardo needs to end. The love fest this channel has for him is obvious. He's a third level driver at this point and nothing more.
I hate sprints
Strollpedo
More Ricciardo copium. He out qualified his teammate on a track his teammate had never raced on in F1. On a weekend with only one practice session. Hardly an impressive turnaround.
I can’t wait till Lawson takes his seat.
Great human, great personality, but he’s washed up and all these excuses as to why are just tiresome when there’s new talent to be had on the grid.
Ricciardo is done, I can't believe people still think he just needs a couple of good weekends to take checo's seat
To improve a car you have to know what's wrong with it.
I am afraid Mercedes doesn't even have a clue...
Mercedes needs a new design team: they are pathetic year after year......they will be the pariah of F1 at this rate
It’s not the design team personnel that’s the problem - they are the same ones. It’s their computer design software. It’s not working with ground effect cars. They need new software.
I think its a bit unfair. Ricciardo has had a rly bad start in the race and dropped down. And he wasnt rly out of place, its the same spot he was the rest of the year so far. I think it was just a bad weekend from Tsunoda. Not a good weekend from Ricciardo. Also Tsunoda did way better stuff and never got a Box. Now Ric has one decent performance and gets a green box? I dont rly get it. Also no mention of Stroll which should be a red box
We learned that Hass drivers are a danger to themselves and others.
Your social score is +300 for shilling a mediocre at best driver from the ccp.
Disgusting
We learnt 2024 f1 is extreeeeeeemely boring zzzzz
we learnt exactly what we learnt from China... RED BULL dominance ...nothing to do with the drivers ... Max wasn't even trying with a car when not pushing is 1.5 seconds ahead of the rest......thank god for Adrain Newey ....ho by the way ...if you look back this was my prediction at the start of the year....just put a decent driver in RB AND WE WOULD AT LEAST GET A RACE ... of course we could also allow Checko to race Max instead of being told to only play second fiddle, Checko might beat Max just like when he first arrived and then told to obey the team or Max ....god dammit ... i can hear those Max fanboys crying and shouting from here
Perez is doing his best. Problem is that his best is nowhere near as good as Verstappen’s best. Perez is like Barrichello, Verstappen is like Schumacher.
You are the one crying and shouting mate.
@@timonsolus Well not really, the team is crap... only supporting one driver from the start ... if you were the second driver and got told you will never win again unless Max is out, pretty sure you would not perform at your best too... 2nd driver problem is down to RB making it a Max team only ....
@@tomsoyer5639 lol new there would be some troll!
@@alangunningham5667 : I seem to remember Perez winning a couple of races back in early 2023… and not because Max had DNF’d either.
Liberty orchestrated that first championship for vertstrappen. Falling attendance and viewership eating into profitability. And now, Liberty has the same issue as obviously redbull got the maths more correct than the other and are simply driving away with no real competition. Viewership will be down as people tune out watching one car move out front is boring.
F1 fans who only care about who wins are only casual fans.
Didums
More humiliation for your hero next year
@@hectorshouse7348 Ricciardo will not be there next year ,he will not have to embarrass himself anymore
