Can we please have Yuki make it to lap 2 for his home grand prix 😭
Best we can do is a DNF!
Doubly frustrating because it seems like he made a big step up in maturity this year, accepting raw talent isn't enough in F1 and getting stuck in to the hard work.
And his reward is even more retirements...
@@tom.m also frustrating because he had no car problems when it was bad but now that it can score points the last two races he doesn't even finish a single racing lap.
I wouldn't be surprised if Marko decided on a whim to sack him just before FP1.
It would be interesting to use him as a benchmark for Liam too. I have a feeling that Nyck got the worst of AT's performance slump in the first half of the year, and got kicked out just as they were improving. Liam's definitely an improvement (I think he's probably a future superstar) but he's also been a bit flattered by the car pace picking up, and being in the vacuum with Yuki's retirements, making his AT period a little hard to judge beyond saying he's at least competent.
Hard to believe, but Sainz led every lap from start to finish 😮
He missed out on a Grand Slam just for the fastest lap
It would have been even more incredible😅
Fans are really getting tired of Sainz dominance...
They just talked about how he led 14 laps before that race! Now he’s at 76 lmfao
Carlos Sainz dominance could bore fans
Carlos Sainz dominance could bore fans
I'm speaking as a hardcore Ferrari and Charles fan, I'm 1000% sure Charles wouldn't have won this race if he found himself in the same position as Carlos. Genuinely one of the most impressive displays of intelligence from a driver we've seen in such a stressful and delicate situation. What a performance from Carlos, WP
Totally agree. I think Charles would have went with the default Ferrari strat they had in mind. I also think Carlos may not have been totally onboard being a "sacrificial lamb" for the faster Ferrari 🥲
@@mnbvmnbv54 yes, exactly. I hope this race can be a sort of a wake up call for Charles, because he may be a very rapid driver in all sorts of conditions (especially quali), but racecraft-wise Carlos clears him. It might be because of the extra experience that Sainz has over him but still, Charles has a lot to learn from Carlos if he wants to lead the team to a championship any time soon.
As a Charles fan, I agree. He has the upper hand when it comes to raw speed, but Carlos is smarter
cos he has pace and nothing much else to think about strategy. He isn't a leader who can dictate terms to the team. I'd even hazard a guess that it would've been him instead of George to bin it.
The most intelligent racers rn are Fernando and Carlos.
Liam Lawson's performance in these past 3 races in those conditions with no preparation is just awesome.
I agree but I'm wary because that's what people said after Nick de Vries performance at Monza in 2022.
Keep in mind this is Singapore Marina Bay street circuit, a very punishing circuit.
@@jastormanthat was a single time in a car well suited to the circuit, but Lawson has proved himself over multiple circuits in a car that's been struggling through the whole season, even achieving points at a circuit that many describe being an incredibly tough one, so I'd think Lawson has much more merit imo. Maybe just a race or two more would prove his worth more, he needs time still.
@@jastorman Well, one race can be a fluke, but three...
@@foxgaming76yt24 Okay, but de Vries came into a car he had never driven and scored points, out qualifying and out racing Latifi (by a lap). Lawson drove the 2022 Alpha Tauri in a practice session. Not trying to take away from Lawson's achievement, it's a big achievement, just a little bit wary.
If Sainz didn't help Lando with the DRS then I am 100% certain that he would have been overtaken by both mercedes and knowing from the team radio that it was 100% his call to help Lando with the DRS to help himself just makes it such an intelligent drive.
Not only was Carlos smart but Lewis casually popping his visor open mid-battle to scratch his nose, with one hand on the steering wheel was impressive.
Been watching F1 for 22 years. This was the smartest drive I can remember. Sainz is the new Prost
Definitely got Prost vibes from his drive!
The Carlos/Charles dynamic is very similar to that of Prost/Senna yes.
Funny how they called out the quote of Prost saying “try and win the race as slowly as possible” and that is EXACTLY what transpired :’)
It was smart for sure but it's not the first time someone has used that tactic. It was clear that keeping Norris in DRS was his only chance and he executed that perfectly
exactly
piastri seems to be doing so well people forgot hes a rookie too and only counting logan and lawson :D
All three rookies showed promise this weekend. Lawson and Piastri for obvious reasons but Logan, despite his Albon copying mistake, would close a 30-40 second gap after the first safety car and held off and beat Alonso.
Yeah so surprised they never mentioned Piastri once in the podcast, going from 17th to 7th he was the real driver of the day.
@@SpeedyCMSo much stuff happened that he ended up being forgotten. Gasly as well.
It has to be because the McLaren is now so much better than the Williams and AT.
@@pipower314159265it's also because piastri's gap to Lando Is close
Carlos this weekend proved so many people wrong. I always thought he was underrated because of his world class teammates hes had. But this weekend he proved us that he has it should the car be realiable and capable. I actually think race pace merc were quicker but he was so meassured, controlled and bascially lead the entire race on 95% pace to llok after the car and give himself thinking time to use his stratergy to his advantage. The last few years he's shown glimpses of his racing brain, but its been overlooked by him using it to overrule his team's calls or his great plans been messed by reliablity or bad decisions on the pit wall. But this race gave him time to shine and my god that was insane. Yes Max is the best driver on the grid right now but I'm almost more impressed by him winning so controlled under such pressure than max just gapping the field by a minute becuase hes the quickest
He does have it, but only occasionally. Maybe it is, as you say, because the car hasn't always been reliable and capable, but I've never seen enough consistency from him to be truly world-class. For me, LeClerc has a question mark over his head with regards to being world-class for this same reason. He's had only 2 wins in 8 years, both in the most recent two seasons. Let's see if he can push forward now.
@@noelckelly Oh yeah I think you’re right his consistency hasn’t been as good as others but still more so than his teammate so far this year
I wonder if Carlos has found it. He seems to be using his brain a lot more now, thinking through things in the long term rather than just reacting in the moment. Makes sense with the experience he has now. All the drivers, hopefully, have this moment where they figure out to take what is given and not to rob themselves with a big mistake.
@@fallenshallrise In his defence I think we’ve seen evidence of that elsewhere in his career especially at McLaren and Ferrari but he was let down either by slight mistakes by reaching the limit or his team/car letting him down and not allowing him to use tactics he knows will work best
100%, Carlos impressed me more in singapore than Max has all season. This is not to slander max, but it's easy to win in the best car as one of the best drivers ever and with absolutely no competition, obviously, what Carlos did was just incredible thinking on the fly, Mercedes were absolutely hunting him down, and he had the presence of mind to keep Lando in drs range without his team saying anything to him which without a doubt saved him from being p3. George and Lewis would have flown by Lando, then flown by Carlos.
The first half is just tyre saving parade, but the second half is freaking awesome
Tbh the ending alone usually makes a great race. Spa 2008 for example, nothing happened untill the last 5 laps and it's a classic
I almost turned off the race and was just going to watch highlights. Glad I had hope lol
Carlos the BEAST, what an amazing race.
Zhou went the long distance with the hard tyres, and gained 7 positions
I was watching the live timing when he pit early and I thought he would never catch up
@@smallgodguido... to all this energy that i've mustered
Verstappen gained 6
Piastri 10!!!
@@Aluminator82 Yes! But everybody noticed that. The Alfas were ignored. Bottas didn't had a bad race, was bad luck with the safety car, he started on hards as well as the RBs
The thing I love the most about Albon is that you can hear in his voice during and after the races how he's simply relieved to be in the sport and seems to be driving to keep his seat every race. I have so much admiration for that level of grinding
I want to say, the track changes, negating Redbull, Ferrari's strategy, Mercedes's curve ball, Sains and Lando double team, George's fate, tyre deg at the end all together it was enthralling Race. Got me hooked all the way.
Sainz drove in a manner that ought to make Alonso proud. Carlos is _dialed in_ at the moment.
Lando couldnt have pit, because the only reason the Mercedes could is that they had an extra set of mediums, which Lando didn't have
I think Lando specifically was a factor in Carlos strategy. Yes Carlos likes Lando more then some other drivers and would be more keen to help out Lando but more specifically Carlos knows how well Lando can hold off other drivers ergo he had a tremendous level of confidence in Lando. I'm sure there are plenty of other driver ( Alonso for example) who Carlos would have done the same thing but other who he would have left far behind having to take his reduced chances on his own with no confidence in the driver behind to do his part (cough, cough, Stroll left in the dust for example, cough).
It was really funny watching this finale because as soon as he asked for Lando's times every lap thr Sky peesenters were saying "hes worrying about the wrong car, he should be thinking about merc," and the first thing that popped into mh head is "is he trying to create a DRS train?" I feel like the sky presenters neved gave him thr credit for that strategy caise they were still wondering during the interview if he did it on purpose or not.
The sky presenters were too busy figuring out the last time 3 Brit’s were on the podium to recognize the genius of what Sainz was doing.
Exactly what I thought too. Create a DRS train to protect his lead. Something Alex Albon does.
I feel like the f1tv guys were on it though. I knew what he was up to from the off haha
@@kolpakken3441 they always are biased and incompetent fools at Sky F1. Oh and to put it out there: Bernie Collins has nothing to offer to anybody.
Never mind Carlos’ radio message that letting Lando into DRS was “on purpose”. Smartest drive I’ve seen in a long time
I've always said that Carlos had more to give than Charles. I'm glad that he's finally starting to show what he can do when he drives his own races.
still think Charles has more raw pace in a pointy car with understeer, but Carlos is more well rounded and tactically/mentally stronger.
@@daarom3472that pace don't amount for much when he consistently points the car into the wall
@@VHBEngines”consistently” 💀 it’s not even that common. you mfs are so persistent and annoying
@@VHBEnginesit’s always felt like Charles has the higher ceiling but less consistency, but now Carlos is matching that ceiling and is still more consistent lmao. Tough days for leclerc fans
@@VHBEnginesthat’s why Sainz almost finished 6th last season isn’t it. Maybe beaching the car in the gravel doesn’t help either.
Why does everyone forget Carlos beat Charles in 2021? He’s not JUST coming into his own this year; how many times was he instructed to not pass Charles? How many times did Ferrari give Charles an advantage by putting him first? Several times this year alone…
Honestly don't think Max was a flop. He was superfast and made up loads of positions before the safety car. And after he pitted late in the race, he went from 15th to 5th and was gaining 18 seconds on Leclerc in 4 laps.
He might not have won, but did his best with the position he started in on a circuit known for being hard and almost impossible to overtake on.
Agreed! It was refreshing to see a non-RB winner, I’ll admit. But Max did what he always does and got everything possible out of that car. Drives like this solidify in my mind why he’s such an incredible driver - we’ve also seen similar drives from Alonso and Hamilton this season. Even when the car is not at its best, you can rely on him to get the most out of it. I’d say this weekend the car was a flop, but Max wasn’t.
Max fan boy primarily due to ocon and Russell binning it
@@jgbains Do you feel better about yourself when you throw comments around like that? Lando’s my fave driver, but it makes it so hard to just enjoy the sport and praise a driver I respect when people immediately say “Max fan boy.” I wasn’t even criticizing any other driver. Leave me alone lol.
@@jgbains if Ocon hadn't binned it, Max would have overtaken way faster. And might even have got a podium. And max was lapping 3.5 seconds faster than Leclerc in the end, but he had to slow due to the yellow flag brought out by Russel. He was 0.2 from Leclerc when they passed the finish line.
@@mifphilip ok max fab boy ..even if I agree to your logic …he still lost to an alpha tauri in qualifying because the race showed at is clearly very slow
Everything against him, Max still ended p5, absolute enigma. Such a long overdue race, with the team that made me fall in love with the sport, Forza Ferrari!
With his pace and strategy, minus the safety and vsc he could have won.
That carlos play was on level with alonso's race craft. They must put something in a Spanish breakfast
Must be all that tappas...🤣
Carlos has said some times in interviews that watching Alonso is what made him want to become an F1 driver and has him as a role model. Carlos Sainz Sr was a WRC driver and knew Alonso from his early years, introduced his son Carlos Sainz Jr like 15 or 20 years ago to Alonso. Alonso has been his teacher when it comes to reaching F1.
Yuki had an absolute beef with RedBull this weekend. :D
First Verstappen impeded him in quali (was it twice even), and then Checo in the race. :D
Checo was horrible i tell you. What he did to Albon was criminal
@@mm9492 Checo can't concentrate because he is south american
@@8tonystark8 😀😀😀
@@8tonystark8for those who don’t get the joke, this is something helmut marko said about checo
You guys need to interview the GOAT, Liam Lawson. He is the MVP of this race for knocking Max out in Q2 so we could get this great ending.
People seem to forget but Carlos’ first year at Ferrari he beat Charles, it wasn’t a huge talking point and Charles got unlucky a lot but if he wins this year that’ll be 2/3 years Sainz has won vs his teammate
I'm calling it now...Sainz will beat Leclerc 2-1. These past two races are really going to mess with Leclerc's head. He's going to be desperate to prove he's still the Ferrari top dog, and we all know how well he does when he's under pressure and starts pushing too hard.
People forgot that Sainz almost finished 6th in a title challenging car.
Imagine if any actual WDC or Leclerc, Russell had that kind of performance. Even Kimi and Bottas performed better.
I think even in the moment Sainz knew he got a lucky at Silverstone. It was his first win, and yet he didn't do Smooth Operator over the radio. This time he did, and he called it his first smooth operation at Ferrari.
then the sky commentators were saying that this was his first win in ferrari
This was a proper old-school style race. A chaotic start and then a long build of tension until some critical strategy calls. Faster drivers applying pressure on the driver ahead hoping to force a mistake. Drivers on old tires defending hard tooth-and-nail to keep their position.
Russell had every right to challenge Lando but they only had 3-4 laps left to do it. Switching would have been harsh. They should have boxed one of the Mercedes (Lewis) the second a car stopped on track knowing they'd be a safety car. He would have come out ahead of everyone.
after double stacking for mediums under VSC, Lewis got out of pitlane having George more than 5.2 seconds ahead at end of lap 46.
8 laps later, At lap 54, He was in DRS zone just behind George. Roughly filled 4.2 seconds in just 8 lap means Lewis was half a second faster than George in each lap, They' should've swaped right then(in around 55-56 lap)
Lewis would hunt down Lando easily(if failed, he would've give the position back, He has done it before to Bottas in Hungary), then go for Sainz or slow dowm lando to help George for P3.
That would be proper team game.
@@45tanviirahmed82Hamilton only caught up to Russell cause he was slowed down by Norris. He was faster, but not half a second faster.
@@sakethedpuganti5697no he didn’t
He got fastest lap before Russell was even close to leclerc
Look at the excuses already lol
@@45tanviirahmed82not how that works buddy. Lewis only needed to catch up to Russell. That’s why he could push. George on the other hand had to manage his tyres so he could pass everyone and deal with the dirty air. Once Lewis was in Russell’s DRS he could benefit from Russell forcing the others into defensive lines. (Like he did with Charles).
Once they get past Leclerc, they have the same lap times until Russell is in the dirty air of Norris and Sainz.
@@cg_2k72 Lewis' tyres were literally better at the end compared to Russell what are you on about?
Honestly, we are very lucky that Sargeant crashed. If there was no SC then after first turn of pitstops (from mediums/softs to hards) RedBull would be on the front with a few seconds gap and they were very fast on those mediums later on, especially Verstappen. Would've been even worse if they waited 3 laps with the pit stops for the VSC. So thanks to Sargeant we didn't have a RedBull win.
The Hero we needed in the moment
I don't think that's the case. If you look at the finishing times, Max was still way back from the top 3 even if you adjust the pitstop times, at least 10 sec back from Lewis.
Yeau but they lost about 30 Seconds with the safety car@@mrthewhite2620
@@mrthewhite2620 they found themselves in a field of cars with brand new tyres with old hards. The SC really screwed around with their strategy. Without it, they'd have had Verstappen leading for some laps before pitting and maybe dropping a couple places before having a sprint to the end and possibly another race win. As it was, by the time they had to change the hards, they hadn't really created a gap and dropped back farther than they'd hoped.
And he would go on to close the gap to the pack despite being 30-40 seconds behind when green flag conditions came back. He even held off and beat Alonso somehow.
All aboard The Carlos Sainz hype-Train for being a Championship caliber driver 🚂
I have been on board since the beginning
A championship caliber driver would put up a championship battle in the 2022 car instead of getting beaten by an uncompetitive Mercedes.
Russell chose the quali trim, Hamilton chose the race trim. They should've allowed Lewis ahead and let Russell back if Hamilton can't overtake. he overtook Leclerc so much easier.
Hamilton should've chosen quali trim as well, if he wanted track position. Russell didn't choose his setup and win track position so he can simply move over for other drivers
Gettting into Q3 knowing you knocked out the current wolrd champion, amazing job from Liam! 🔥🔥🔥
I think lewis had more tires than george at the end. George was pushing the whole time. Carlos did a great job
Both pitted at the same time… Lewis caught Russell by the time Russell caught them. To switch would be harsh but Lewis wins that race…
@@niall5701 i know, im saying lewis was better on his tires than george. Thats why he had more.
If Mercedes doesn't just pick LH as the #1 Driver, they will suffer when they get more competitive.
@@niall5701 Thats exactly my sentiments even as a Lewis fan. you couldnt switch cars in that moment but when Hamilton smells blood, he's a different animal. George was pansying around with Lando for 5 laps...
An option is to let Lewis through and if he doesn’t pass lando then give the place back to George before the end of race.
I watched the last lap, on my feet, jumping up and down! And screaming
Loved your reaction to Sainz Win..Great from you guys
Brilliant stuff. and OH what a sensational race for Carlos and Lando. Heart rate still not settled.
Great episode! 💪🏽
Carlos has arrived as someone with Championship potential.
Great race - something which made it so thrilling compared to the previous ones was the fact we had diergent strategies because of the vsc. It's rare these days to have a mix of strategies for us to watch play out
I was already a fan of Carlos from the Carlando era, but this race has solidified him as my hands-down favorite of anyone on the current grid. I hope we see many more wins for him in the future. What a driver
Matt wants to make as many videos on this race coz he doesn't know when next will he get another chance 🤣
Something different than usual revives interest. That's coincidentally why they change regulations to the dominators' disadvantage every now and then
Welcome to the P5 Podcast with Matt and Tommy!
There have been times when being a Carlos/Carlando fan has been tough. This was the best thing I could ever have hoped for.
Carlos has been criminally underrated for too long, especially by Ferrari who put him in a role he dutifully played, of being the number two driver. He should have been number one from day one IMHO.
What a race!!! a shame for Charles I think with the timing of the pit stop as I would have loved a ferarri 1 2 or ferarri sandwich on podium but as a whole what a phenomenal race
I'm tiered of this Sainz domination 😔
LOL
So happy for matt
Singapore was the first F1 race I’ve watched! Glad I didn’t miss it!
I just love your content
Hope Matt’ll be this happy next week too 😂
As a Max fan, still very happy for Carlos and Lando (and Matt!)
Can we talk about the fact that Piastri and Lawson both scored their first F1 points at their third time of asking (Piastri in Melbourne & Lawson in Singapore), they both scored points here in Singapore, and Logan Sargeant is still yet to score a point in his rookie season? Williams will be VERY generous if they let him have that seat again for next year!
The last 3 races have been the best 3 races of the season!
Carlos was Max's strongest team mate.
He really was.
HOT TAKE: For all the criticisms people like Seargant, Mick Schumacher, Latifi, Stroll get for their bad performances and being crash-happy, F1 needs these drivers for the chaos and strategy implications that come with their inevitable crashes and Safety Cars and Res Flags. People say this season has been boring, but what has changed from last year.... no Latifi and no Mick means the number of race interuptions has dropped sigificantly which would allow the field to close back up again and bring strategy adaptability in to play.
Say it louder. Maybe this time I agree to bring back to crashmacher just to bring back the red flags 😂
@@JnManuelAGwas with you until that nickname; don't be a child
Mines gone floppy lol, greatest way to end a podcast. Well done boys, great episode after a great race.
Kinda feel like people completely forgot rookie piastri this race, his qualification was out in q1 but he drove very well to end up taking p7 end of the race
I was also thinking is that Mercedes might be much more occupied defending from Lando to attack if Lando pitted. Mercedes would probs have to follow team orders of someone holding Lando off so they could pursue Carlos. Then maybe once they’re at the fron the other Mercedes can move forward. That’s just another possible strategy though
The race management by Sainz was insane!!
16:47 and I'm pretty sure Lando didn't have an spare set of fresh tyres like the Mercedes did.
Max Verstappen showed how amazing he is. He almost ended up P4 in a car that was sliding on ice most of the race. P5 was better than anyone else would have gotten in that car.
Yeah... He made up 13 seconds on Charles within 2 laps.. That's how fast he closed the gap
@@NemysisPrimeBecause his tires were gone
He ended 21 secs off the lead. He lost ~16 secs in the safety car, and then however much he lost going through the field. Not even a max fan but I'm pretty sure he wins that race if there is no safety car, and if not at least gets a podium.
I think he would've been battling for first had it not been for the SC and the horrible strategy
Red bull didn't have the tyers. After the first pit stop on hards they only had used one's left. Max wouldn't of got in front of the Mercedes by that point he's tyers was gone.
You mentioned Lawson's performance which was good but Piastri's from 18th(due to Stroll) to 7th on a track he hasn't driven before with a McLaren that didn't get upgrades was pretty damn impressive. If Piastri got the upgrades he would have finished on the podium most likely. McLaren now going out of their way to decrease Piastri's points. If that continues next year he needs to get out of McLaren end of 2024 when out of contract. The Aston Martin seat should free up end of next year when hopefully they get rid of Stroll.
Piastri is the number 2 driver cause he's a rookie. They're going to favor the experienced lando. But they are not sabotaging his race, for an example of how to do that look at red bull and Perez or Ferrari's normal strategy.
Established drivers always get the upgrades first.
It’s a big stretch to say McLaren’s “going out of their way” to decrease Oscar’s points. Why on earth would they do that? That helps no one. McLaren is introducing so many upgrades this year because they’re playing catch-up in the development department. The team only produced enough parts for one car to get all the upgrades in Singapore. Every race counts in their constructors battle, so obviously they wouldn’t wait a whole race to put on the upgrades just so both cars could get them at the same time. They need to maximize every single weekend. And in this case, Oscar’s never raced in Singapore before so it makes sense for his focus to be around learning and getting comfortable with the track. He did a brilliant job. And he’ll get the upgrades in Japan. It might not seem “fair” but this kind of stuff happens in F1. And it’s not like either of them are in a tight drivers championship battle. It’s about maximizing points for the team as a whole.
The words for Sainz genius at the back end of the race is Pure Race Craft
Did George use up more of his tires catching and passing LeClerc, which made Hamilton stronger once he got by too?
I think a lot of people saw Sainz as a driver just outside of the Top drivers when in reality he has been as good as Leclerc for a long time. This performance really solidified that he’s worth his salt.
deVries vs Lawson.. not wanting to take anything from Lawson, the current AT has 100 upgraded parts over the AT deVries had. Also, in the last 3 races just before being kicked out, he started to look almost decent.. with the occasionally Q1 or Q2 faster than Tsunoda. Honestly, I don't question the guy's talent or driving skills.. I just think everything was too much for him, emotionally and from a pressure POV and he just couldn't handle it.
deVries from this year didn't look at all like deVries from last year.
On top of it Lawson is a product of the RedBull Academy, so he probably grew up with this kind of pressure and also knows how to deal with the RB environment
Lawson scored a better result than De Vries and Ricciardo in that car at Monza already. This was pre-upgrade. I personally wanted Lawson in that seat from the start of the season, but I can't deny that De Vries did a great job in his Williams audition. I feel De Vries would have been better off staying at Williams if it had been a choice however.
@@LeJimsteryep, I agree. Albon and deVries would have been a good combo...and maybe a better combo than w/ Sargent.. although, I do cheer for the guy and hope at every race that he will have his brakethrough points.
+will you upload the full video podcasts to patron if so i will get it lol
Singapore simply illustrated how exciting reverse grid Sprints could be and the vision these new regs are trying to achieve.
Sainz had an amazing race, showing he is the real No. 1 driver at Ferrari, great work to get the win.
Lando is getting ever closer to his own first win. George Russell drove really well also but seemed to be pushing too hard and his tyres looked terrible compared to Lewis Hamilton.
Possibly how they drive. George is unlucky in the end but it's this that makes the difference between the top drivers and the rest of the field. I'm sure George will learn as he will need to quickly if he makes these types of mistakes when under pressure he will fall into the same trap Charles Leclerc has.
Last P5 for Max was British GP 2019.
them realising the podcast on monday just shows how exciting the race was.
Isn't the podcast always on Monday?
I mean it was already on Spotify
Why didn't Leclerc get a penalty for slowing down the cars in the SC phase? Didn't Lando get one in Canada for that?
No idea… but he created his own penalty in a way.
@@xtheamazingax True
@@xtheamazingaxTrue, but Lando did that too and got a penalty for 'unsportsmanlike behaviour' on top - which cost him points in Canada.
So, unconsistency again... a shame.
@@78drea a predictable shame, sadly. Cos that's how the FIA work...
7:20 I noticed that too
32:45 Same with Tsunoda
36:18 38:22 39:06 Alonso had damage
43:35 Thank you Tommy
carlos was just brilliant and sensational!! i still cant believe the racecraft he pulled out !!
also the carlando teamwork was amazing!! lando made an amaazing defend!!!
My favorite thing was the different tyre strategies.
Liam Lawson should definitely get a race seat. He's been doing a great job. Logan might be losing his seat.
Awesome drive from Carlos.
No RBs on the podium= 10/10 for variety.
"Michael Masi-ing" should be a term any time someone tries to actively influence a contest just to make it closer at the end
Nice seeing 1st to 4th separated by about 3 seconds instead of Verstappen up by about 20 on 2nd.
With Lawson, we should also acknowledge the contribution of the super formula series, that is completely underrated.
If Russell weren't there Hammy would definitely went like a super hammer time and won the grand prix
16:30 Merc were the ONLY team to have a second set of mediums
I’m probably biased as a Sainz fan, but I don’t think the gap Ferrari asked of Leclerc was to protect Sainz but to protect Leclerc’s brakes (and for the possibility of a double stacked pit stop). I think we saw that the best strategy to protect Sainz was to have Leclerc within DRS!
I'm still trying to figure out how Carlos kept it so... smooooooth lol
Do you think that after both Mercs overtook LeClerc and in the slight 2 second window before they caught up to Norris, if Hamilton and Russel swapped places as they were about 1 second apart, do you think that Hamilton could have gotten P2 or made an attempt at the Victory?
Perez drove that race like he was playing the old Star Wars Episode I Racer game. He just fucking smashing into people left, right, and center and ram-rodding his was to overtakes.
With Lando, you have to consider his tyre allocation, he did not have new set of mediums available so would softs last if he pitted?
I'm a Max Verstappen fan, but at the end of the race I had a cramp in my jaws from a big old smile on my face that lasted 10+ laps. What a race!!!
We would watch this almost every race if not for your red bull and Max.
@@dushandvr5765correct. But let's not blame rb and Verstappen for that 🙏
@@Tekkas_GG It's not him, it is darn red bull cheaters.

@@Tekkas_GG Whoever is that dominant is a cheater. That kind of dominance is impossible in any sport except F1.
Fernando was carrying debris from Tsunoda, second lap, and Leclerc had engine problems for the last 5 to 7 laps.
Loved to see others fight for the win for a change. Love the channel, the fan-boy angle is funny but make sure you are lovers of the sport first. Matt still has red ears from the race, Tommy is more nuanced and it shows in noticing what happens at all the teams.
I think Lawson is doing an incredible job, but there are a couple of things that have to be taken into account. First is that the AT has gotten massive upgrades in recent races that have been a significant improvement to the car De Vries has driven in (and may have been partially brought about by his feedback in the first half of the season).
Secondly Lawson has had the advantage that, even though he is new to the F1 car, he has been racing in a very competitive super formula series this season. Not only that, but he has been in a fierce battle for the championship from the start. I really think that helps as it gives you an edge of sharpness in pure racecraft over drivers who have been away from active racing for a while, like Ricciardo was or even Piastri at the start of this season.
Now having said that, I do believe he has done an amazing job so far. Even if there wasn't much pressure of expectation on him so far, there was the added pressure of the knowledge that this may be his only chance to prove himself and earn a seat. He has handled that brilliantly, but we have to be careful not to overhype him so much (like we did with De Vries) that it becomes an almost impossible challenge to meet those expectations.
Merc were able to be so fast because they had a fresh set of mediums as they took 1 less set of softs than the other drivers. I think Norris didn't have any fresh Mediums available so even if he was ahead of Russel, I don't think he would have had the pace.
What a race. A reminder how good f1 can be. Good job on the red bull jinxing guys! Finally worked
early to a P1 video i love my life so much
Why did RB get a these free passes all the time? Max not getting any grid penalty for any of the three qualifying impeding incidents and then Perez made two mistakes and took two other drivers out.
Great drive from Carlos and Ferrari 😁👍🍺🇨🇱🍻🇳🇱
Heading Tom and Matty talk about what's technically is a dnf is exactly the reason why F1 has so many rules 😂
The thing I didn't understand in the first lap of the race is Why Hamilton had to give position back to Lando? He passed him on the track fairly and he was well ahead of him before taking the escape road.
Finally the red bull jinx came to fruition! 😂
