How Red Bull's F1 weakness was exposed in Monaco GP
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 06. 2024
- Red Bull’s second defeat in three Formula 1 races was by far its worst performance of the season. It was comprehensively outgunned, with Max Verstappen managing only sixth place in the Monaco Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc claimed an emotional home victory for Ferrari.
So was this limp Red Bull performance, compounded by Sergio Perez’s big accident on the first lap, merely a one-off caused by the unique demands of the Monte Carlo circuit, or is there more to it than that?
00:00 Red Bull's worst weekend
01:04 What went wrong?
02:14 No set-up fix
05:13 Supreme Ferrari
06:25 McLaren in the mix
07:13 Mercedes upturn?

all teams bringing upgrades
meanwhile aston martin bringing downgrades🔥🔥
As an Aston Martin Fan........thats true im heavily depress
Nah. They just keep bringing Stroll to races.
They had to downgrade the car so stroll could drive it
Ferrari did it too a few years ago. Doesn't mean anything by itself, but something to think about
Oddly stroll performed better recently. Stroll’s lack of consistency and prone to make mistakes really draw things back for AMR. The ‘downgrades’ and bad luck really hurt Nando.
The fact that we all thought this season would be a write-off but we might actually have a title fight for the constructors in our hands 🔥
Don't hold your breath, it will be back to normal service
@@mro9466 I think that what we have learned so far this F1 season is that a 5% overspend going in to a new set of regulations buys you 2 years of dominance before the other teams catch up.
@@mro9466if ur talking rb19 dominance I have news for you
Yes, considering we started this season with some predicting Max would win all the races and we now had 4 different winners in the first 8 races. I'll take that.
If Perez keeps qualifying P18 yeah we will
One thing I have to make mention of is how calm the Ferrari personnel are on the pit wall now, even cracking jokes! Fred has been exactly what the Scuderia has needed in terms of leadership for a very long time.
Fred is one of the best things that has happened to Ferrari. Even without Newey this Ferrari has the foundations for a successful runs. Binotto's 2022 was a fluke in my opinion, Vasseur is the team leader they need, because they have good people working there, and finally, it's not the "Italians ruining everything", they just needed a good leader. No blame culture but no pissing around either
@@KepleroGT Exactly. And on the matter of nationalities Charles even has an Italian engineer now.
@@soundscape26Wasn't it already the case ?
well fred projects that kind of energy, as people said, probably best thing for ferrari.
Crack jokes until the other Red Bull tracks show up 😅
F1 pundits go 1 second without saying "monegasque" challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
What a dumb comment. Should they avoid using the country's adjective to describe the track they are racing on? Or do you want them to say something silly and incorrect like 'Monacoleese' instead? 🧐
@@wile123456
In which other case they mention the driver nationality so often apart from Monaco? Never, maybe Max?
Your comment is dumb
@@caydenph2741 I just checked the FP1 highlights video from Monaco. Of the 12 drivers mentioned specifically, EIGHT of them get their country included.
This isn't surprising, as it is a basic way to make writing seem fresh. Instead of saying "Max Verstappen" in three consecutive sentences, it goes "Max Verstappen", "the current champion", and "the Dutchman"
@@caydenph2741 That's a pretty common thing actually. Especially in written articles.
@@caydenph2741All the time? Pretty much every race and session someone will be described based on where they're from...
The redbull being slow at low speed street circuits isn’t an exposed weakness. We all knew this.
Finally! Can't believe I had to scroll this deep into the comments before I see someone saying this.
I mean they've only been saying it out loud to whoever cares to listen but the media guys
@@Ogole-oye The good ol' media. The ones who, after Max's brakes gave up the ghost in Australia, were all but calling the season a done deal, how Max has been dethroned and basically shouldn't even bother showing up anymore because here comes Ferrari and McLaren.
The way common-taters tend to get all amped up over a single result, and then forecast the sky to fall makes them sound ignorant of the sport.
This is the big fat wind bag Edd creating noise. Edd absolutely sucks
We knew? Really? Except Singapore last year, Red Bull won easily on ALL street courses, even Monaco.
They may very well lose the Constructor's, Checo just doesn't cut it anymore..
Mark webber got shunted for less by Helmut back in the day.
Bro wtf they are only 20 points behind in constructors and the books are still having Ferrari at 5+ odds... Ill sprinkle a bit of beer money on that lmfao
Right and when he won a race recently people were saying how great he is lol.
I was going to say Magnussen caused that incident...but Perez's poor qualifying put him in that position anyway.
@@dahorn100011 "Why were you there in the first place?" Is EXACTLY what Helmut would be asking. They're always playing bumper cars in the back of the grid. He had no business being there. Especially alongside a HAAS for chrissake.
I remember Mercedes being slow at Monaco when they was dominating
You don’t know what you’re talking about
They were fine last year
Championship back one 👍🏾
@jb-y1487 did I just witness someone having a stroke through a youtube comment section?
@@jb-y1487 Found one of the Merc fan bots.
Basic it was a power dominated car, struggled on twisty circuits and high altitude.
Yah RB used to be strong in Monaco when Merc were dominating
Wait till Canada can't base it off Monaco
Canada is very bumper so if this a weakness for red bull they may not do that well there
I heard they will use off road tires in canada
@@jessetaylor4357 It may be bumpy, but the speeds are much higher on average. RB struggles on slow speed tracks. Medium and high speed corners are where it shines, thanks to Newey & Co.
@@Quazi-moto true true
We are not basing it off Monaco. Australia, Miami and Imola were a thing. Max might have won in Imola but it was TIGHT and do not forget about the slip he got from Hulkenberg in Q3
Monaco may be a historic, prestigious and demanding circuit, but it's becoming ever more clear that it's no longer a good race track for modern F1 cars. Yes Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes did most likely have the better car for the circuit, Verstappen being unable to even try an overtake while he is lapping 2 seconds faster than Russel is something I'd call a major issue.
but it's pretty exciting for qualifying and every 10th Monaco GP is amazing
That’s how it goes mate this circuit will always have a place on the calendar
Yes, that's another problem with how close the cars are performing... you need to be at least 3 seconds faster than the car ahead to try an overtake with a decent chance of success. Not often will you find such difference in performance between 2 cars.
It’s worth it because the qualy is the best of the season!!
It’s so bad.
Leclerc wining on Monaco is hands down one of the most memorable moments of this season.
And Lando getting his first win right up there as well
As is the whole race in general 😉
💤
Lando's win was much more interesting, there was actually a race.
how do you "dominate" a race when there were only two over takes the entire 78 laps?
As for the driver, it’s one of the hardest circuits to stay focused. One wrong move to the barrier and you’re done. It’s got nothing to do with speed, it’s tyre management and keeping the pack behind you, it’s mentally exhausting. That’s how you “Dominate “ Monaco
@@sammammone9628 I'd say 10 people "dominated" this weekend with that definition.
@@gamechip06😂😂 Idk about others but I was bored to hell ngl... The only intresting parts were that accident and suddenly out of nowhere bottas coming out and putting the fastest lap even tho it was of no use later on... Hoping for the Canadian GP to be good 😊🎉
That’s the very definition of dominating a race. A race with lots of overtakes is open.
@@gamechip06 yes, but only one had the control to keep the rest of the drivers behind and control the race pace....that was Charles leclarc
Monaco is just an old track that’s outdated for modern F1 cars. No opportunities to pass. The race is decided during qualifying
I appreciate tracks where you pay for mistakes, given that safety is not compromised. If that's what you mean with outdated I have to disagree.
In many of the modern tracks race is anyways almost overtakingless.
The cars are so sophisticated to the point they are too susceptible to any imperfection of the track or even being too close to the front car.
I don't see what your last point is. Of course it's decided in qualifying, and Red Bull did poorly. But yeah, it's not representative of performance for the rest of the year.
But it is still needed because not all tracks need to be based on important drag races
monaco is awful and should be removed
@@RagedContinuum I disagree
This was not even a race.
77 laps on a set of tires and Russell driving 4 seconds off pace but holding off Verstappen is not a race, it's a formality.
Worst race ever. Not a single overtake except stroll
It's a parade
The race is a demonstration race. The race is determined in qualifying.
That must be why Formula 1 keeps trying to take Monaco off the schedule.
No way to overtake so it is all about qualifying. To be circulating 10s slower than qualifying and still not able to overtake the guy in front shows how shit the Monaco circuit is
Is more about modern f1 cars being road boats.
@@leonardomatheus1888nope, the track is just sh*t
@@leonardomatheus1888not really. Monaco was bad even in the early 2000s when the cars were much smaller
It's because the tyres cant be pushed @@leonardomatheus1888
@@antiwokehumanYes, but it wasn't as bad like nowdays.
It's Monaco. You simply can't pass there. If Verstappen was able to get on pole, he would've won, same for Perez. start 2nd, finish 2nd. etc... Verstappen caught Russell in 5 or 6 laps after pitting. So he gained nearly 20 seconds but couldn't pass another car on 50 lap old tires.
' If Verstappen was able to get on pole' well, he was far from it
Of course he will definitely gain something out of fresher tyres versus the car running on an # lap old tyres. 😊
@@dontbesocool1991He's not talking about catching, he's talking about not being able to overtake a car that's on old tyres
@@1greenMitsihe hit the wall and aborted on the hot lap on 3rd qualifying. A driver error.
@@BobbyDazzler888🏎
It was a Monaco parade without even a need to pit. Just stop.
I agree. Unless drivers pull a Stroll, you can look at the grid order after quali and see who will win.
🙏
This was merely a formality. This year it didn't even have a pit stop. You don't think this race could get any less competitive, but leave it to F1 to raise the bar and poor tracks.
I don't understand all the hype about redbull struggling.
this just shows how crucial adrian newey is in red bull
Because people are sick of red bull domination. It’s heavenly when they struggle as a Mercedes’ fan

@@johnlau6749Lol
@@johnlau67492014 to 2020 🤔
Red Bull not on a podium: ‘Everyone liked that’
Lets be real, a clean lap from Max would be up there with Ferrari and Mclaren. Then add the fact that Monaco is a track with almost no possible overtakes. There is no dramatic exposed there.
Let's be real redbull are going backwards. Hence he is now feeling the pressure and driving into walls again. Crashstappen of old... amazing what having the fastest car by mile helps with winning
and let's be real, he lost the car right at the first corner so i don't know what you're on about. in the end, rbr is still not as good as ferrari and mclaren in monaco this year
lets be real, to have a clean lap you have to drive a clean lap, which he did not manage in q3 hence his starting position.
Also keeping it real, DC or mika hakkinen could have done all sorts on a clean lap in the RB, but thats just another what if. Lets be real, reality happened
@@joep5080 I'm just disputing the falsehood that they have been exposed, nope, if you look at 2022 Monaco, Max was driving at the limit for pole against a faster Aston Martin. So we are not seeinv anything new. Also before the crash his times were competitive hence everybody waited to see what he will do and he unfortunately crashed.
The title of the video makes it seem as if they were outpaced 😂
The reason he crashed was because he had to drive to the limit and take risks more than usual to make a good lap. Unlike before where he could do as he pleased.
Wasn’t a race, just a high speed parade
Well the fact that Adrian Newey seemed to show keen interest in the McLarens at Monaco suggests they’re definitely doing something right.
And he's going to McLaren
Max tapped the wall at a bad time resulting in a lost chance at pole. The track doesn't allow racing. How is this a red bull weakness?
I don't think he was on for pole. He might have gotten as high as second or third but barring a mega start, he'd still have lost the race because once it settled after the first lap incidents nobody could pass anybody.
Pole 😂
Max was never challenging for pole last race. he lost too much time in the last sector where Charles gained lots there. at best, he was looking 3rd or 4th
the reason he tapped the wall in the first place is that he had to risk a lot to get a decent lap out. I doubt he had a chance to get pole and he knew it too.
IMO Monaco showed two things I think should be changed. Tire changes under red flag shouldn’t count as changing compounds.
2nd going back to the last timing marker should only be as a last result. They have loads of other data to show car positions at time of red flag. If they cannot determine from all other accurate information , then use last timing marker.
But we've known for a long while now that slow speed tracks are Red Bull's bane.
Don't line your carts up in front of your horses, folks. Max is still gonna run away with the championship.
I mean I don’t think anyone will beat him in the drivers. But this is a massive stretch, they won Monaco by a comfortable margin in 21 and 22. This isn’t some normal occurrence, they are struggling more with this car than the previous 2 years.
@@Hydraav2 I get where you're coming from, but are they struggling? Or is it more that the other teams -- after 2 full seasons -- are finally beginning to catch up?
Bear in mind that the only race it can be said that he flat out lost was Miami, and that took a MAJOR bit of luck with the safety car's timing. And even then Lando had to drive his ass off to keep Max behind.
If Monaco allowed overtaking like a normal track, no way in Hades he stays in P6.
Unless and until I see a SUSTAINED drop in performance from him or the car, we can only go by his track record of being THE most consistent driver.
RB would've won the constructor's last year even without Checo's points, and Max had more than double the points of P2 in the driver's championship. The rest of the field still very much has an uphill battle in trying to knock Max from the top step.
EDIT: To be fair, the only struggles I recall seeing were the exploding brakes, and the too-stiff suspension at Monaco. Everything else can be chalked up to gains made by other teams rather than an RB decline.
The fact that they would have won last year with just Max’s points doesn’t matter in the slightest now, Ferrari are now only 24 pts behind and closing in pace wise along with McLaren
@@bendixonmusic7149 You're right about what happened last year not affecting things right now.
I brought that up just to illustrate Max's consistency, and to point out just how big that proverbial hill was that the other drivers faced coming into this season.
@@Quazi-moto if anything how dominant Red Bull were last season just shows how much McLaren and Ferrari have gained on them in relative terms, last season they had a pace advantage strong enough that they were able to win even at relatively bad tracks for them besides Singapore. They’re now in a position where for 3 straight races they haven’t had a clear pace advantage over McLaren and I’m certain they’re worried about that
So how come K Mag wasn’t punished but Ocon was?
Then they'd have to ban him which they were never going to do. The whole penalty points system is a farce
Perez knew he was there and still closed the gap. Kmag was wrong to try put the car alongside but they were both at fault so no penalty
@@patricknolan9606 the problem is kevin was nowhere near alongside. Kevin was trying to get ahead of his team mate, thats the problem. Much like ocon, they are fixated on beating their team mates and end up making low IQ poor percentage poor choices
racing incident, similar to when Ricciardo took out Albon
Coz they didn’t want to give him a race ban
Monaco is more of a who can line up in first place before the race.
has been for many years now
Sergio Perez is the limiting factor that will most likely cost red bull the constructors to Ferrari (and possibly McLaren) with both those teams consisting of stronger drivers compared to verstappen having to fight at the front on his own
Even If Perez drive consistent results the Mclaren or Ferrari is become so strong competitive i meant Max could be from now at the end of the season have hard time beating them so if they want to win it it should be driver like Russell or Alonso in the second Redbull and possible Red bull could be second or third best car majority of the races from now on the end
@@user-wy5xe6ht2m Bro Perez had 3 bad races. But the Lord forbid Hamilton have 3 bad races then its okay. Red Bull will remain dominant as long as Max Verstappen is in one. Both Max and Perez struggled with the car in the last few races. Thats all. It's nothing to do with their skill

One thing is for sure the season has been less predictable than last year at this Point which is Always a positive like 4 different Winners after 8 races at the start of bahrain that would seem impossible to imagine
Video time: 6:18,
The commentary in the video mentioned that Ferrari beat Red Bull in a fair fight in Monaco. How did they manage to do that, especially on a track where overtaking is so difficult?
The Red Bull runs so well on 95% of the tracks I wouldn't change it to accommodate those few as the majority would suffer. I don't think they will work that hard on the problem. When they win so many races by 20 seconds and more I think they already have a very superior program as it is.
Honestly I agree, with a few tracks being the problem there is no need to change the setup for the minor tracks. Also with Monaco the team did well in terms of strategy but without overtaking it was impossible.
The start of Perez being nowhere again will mean there will be a fight for the constructors championship!!
why not drivers?
@@oktayyilmaz5134yes and no
The fight at the front is properly heating up, with Mclaren, Ferrari, Max (not checo), and Merc getting alot closer. We could have a 2021 style second half of the season but with 4 different constructors and 7 different drivers.
Merc isn't even in the same zip code.
@@TheSlowoldman Well duh, they went for that zero-pod concept and abandoned it last year. They are a full 1.5 years behind in development, but could be back next year.
@@TheSlowoldmanbeat redbull on 77 lap old mediums. Finished a couple seconds behind Lando. Checo ain’t even in the same zipcode you mean
@@TheSlowoldman Merc is in a weird position where they're well clear of the midfield but not close to Red Bull, Ferrari or McLaren. They're in no-mans land.
@@quadrantalerror1121ur kidding urself if u think merc is in the fight cause of monaco
Monaco is such a extreme 1 off race, rb would never adjust their car for a 1 of a kind track like that
I love how you have updated the colour of the McLarens in the graphic at 0:55
That Red Bull either works or it doesn't. If they get the setup right, they're a rocket. In Monaco they didn't get that and the fact that the track is basically a parade route, it's impossible to overtake.
So they don't get the setyp right for three races in row i meant is it they dont know how to do car setup LOL
So essentially having such a dominant car based on being able to run low with the floor they have, while other teams have had to work their car development harder while higher, means that some of the other cars are better on certain tracks, especially bumpy tracks with low to medium speed corners.
Not every car is going to be the best on every track but what RB has is it only struggles on one track. I’m sure a few points dropped here aren’t going to matter come the end of the season
Remember Singapore last year.
Imola Norris was +0.725 behind vestapen and last year Redbull won Monaco with +27s ahead of second place something is wrong.Whether it doesn't happen this season, next season they will be struggles though i understand your point redbull it's still the best but let's wait and see how other cars will perform next races and conclude if they are really closing the gap.
@@jbm2074it’s quite clear that McLaren have closed the gap considerably, Red Bull haven’t shown a clear pace advantage over competitors for 3 consecutive races
So basically the RB suffers in the bumpy street circuits for being the best on the modern flat asphalt circuits. You could say that that is simply a trade-off that the designers have chosen.
I love how they wont trust lawson with a contract for a season but theyll trust his input in the sim for the development of the car? make it make sense
The ideal qualifying lap metric makes no sense, as it might not be possible to ever drive those 3 sectors back to back depending on how each is finished/started
I would not call it a weakness, a car can't be perfect at every track, especially under these rules.
Well, Rb19 was perfect in every track (except Singapore). Rb20 has been vulnerable for the past 3 races
@@Giovanni-be1ki thats because the competition was miles away. It wasn't perfect. Really close races in Vegas Australia as well
True, however the red bull was so far ahead in 2022 and 2023 that it just didn't matter.
Rivals being closer, and having huge strengths were red bull have weaknesses i.e. Mclaren at Miami where they shone proves this.
that still means it’s a weakness
@@Giovanni-be1ki Thing is, if you come straight out the gate in a new rules cycle with a car that's at 95% of the theoretical limit, and everyone else is around 85-90%, then they are going to eventually catch you because you don't have much more performance you can feasibly eke out and they have loads. They will get you eventually. That's why I'm so annoyed that the FIA are having another massive rule change for 2026, because by then we'd probably see 3 or 4 teams regularly winning and possibly an actual fight for the title rather than another Verstappen coronation.
Thanks for this in depth technical review.
I reckon I could've held on to the lead in my Ford Focus yesterday...
idk who does your graphics but I appreciate the did the 8bit style McLaren in the one off livery. Kudos.
Remember 2 years ago when Adrian Newey was literally confused why Red Bull was SO far ahead of everyone else; they said they didn't even do an especially spectacular job with the car, everyone else just failed to get to grips with the new regulations. Well, diminishing returns, rival upgrades and the type of track that really exposes the RB20's weaknesses, totally expected result
Going to be interesting seeing the "No Newey" RB21
It's really nice to have development war or at least somewhat of. This is really needed for F1 and I would say even more so than close racing and overtakes.
... or maybe Max's poor Qualifying and final mistake just shunted them further down the procession which was unrecoverable owing to the nature of the Monaco track ... ?
Lol
2 defeats out of 3. Well I never
Time to remove monaco from the calendar. f1 has outgrown this track and this has been the case fir ages. The only times monaco has been exciting is purely rain
It's a big assumption to say that RB was outpaced in the race. He messed up his qualifying lap and, because it's Monaco, couldn't overtake anyone.
Perez also
I think that Monaco should be a sprint race weekend, but it’s not because I think two races would be exciting. It’s the thought of getting two qualifying sessions, on two different days, that gets me excited at the idea of a Monaco sprint weekend, especially as they’d get to change things with the setup for the second qualifying session. That way both Friday and Saturday would be way more interesting with the two qualifying sessions, the sprint would be as exciting as a practice session, and the race would remain the same.
What if they completely reformatted Monaco? Made it a time trial instead of a traditional race? I know that sounds crazy but if we want to keep Monaco on the calender because of its history yet somehow make the Grand Prix more exciting then we need to start thinking outside the box. 20 cars, five laps each, fastest cumultive time over the five laps wins.
@@craigcharlesworth1538 I think we should wait for the smaller cars in 2026 before making a definitive decision to actually change the track
Whoever is in charge of the visuals deserves a raise
I mean it's well documented, that RedBull struggles on these kind of tracks even with last year's car....the surface and slow speed corners arent their strength and they've repeatedly said this over time.
Yeah, that's why Max won last year's Monaco by almost 28 seconds ahead of Alonso
they did lose Miami too on pure pace though...
@@edyslavico3761pure pace 😂
Red bulls weakness in Monaco.
1.Narrow track (max feeling claustrophobic)
2.Slow circuit
3. Not long enough straights.
4) checo
Adrian Newey was actually studying the aero of Mclaren the other day. Really took a long stare. Clearly seems theres something that needs to be addressed on RBs car
Was this weekend an example of that Newey magic I keep hearing about?
Monaco is hardly a good litmus test for anything other than qualifying pace at an abnormal track!
Not a Versteppan/RB fan but this would be much different if he didn't hit the wall in Q3. He could have started 1st/2nd/3rd and the narrative would have been much different. Its so hard to pass on this track that unless you are much faster, you can't actually pass. When Riccardo won, he was down double digits HP and no one could pass him.
Just a reminder that in 2022, Verstappen didnt even lead the championship until round 6.
so?
Lol
@@oktayyilmaz5134 So forgive me for not jumping on the "doom" bandwagon.
Does this mean that Leclerc won't lead the championship until round 10? 😂
Ah yes, the tight street circuit... We'll wait for the dedicated Racing Tracks before we all start saying it's a disaster.
Good job Charles
Strange how no points update during and at end of race! Production crew took a break and cheaply did nothing for class.
Monaco is 'unique' in that they use a local crew to manage the TV coverage, it's always been poorer than usual because of this.
@@neildaniel8232actually that changed a few years ago to being managed by F1 . Hence why the camera angles are different
A lot of fans watched Mercedes dominating for years, so many forgot how it's so tough to keep winning. Redbull's struggle is so natural. Hope Championship gets spice up, with Big three fighting each other.
No car is perfect and I reckon fixing the RB weakness would hamper it in other areas.
Who would've thought the kryptonite for the mighty RB's would be a kerb🤣🤣🤣
If you would have told me McLaren and Ferrari would have a better car by Monaco at the start of the year I would have called you crazy. Now I’m wondering if Red Bulls gunna be able to keep up
Canada, Spain, Austria, Silverstone are all Red Bull tracks. Maybe Austria could throw a curve ball at Red Bull
All this tracks is also Ferrari is so strong at it even Mclaren
If Perez doesn't get back to form immediately, we will likely see Ferrari win the constructors. Last year, Max's points alone would have won them the constructors, but this year is a whole new ball game. Driver's championship should still be Max, unless something miraculously happens. But ever since Mclaren and Ferrari brought their upgrades, they have been right there with Redbull every step of the way, and they have 2 great drivers, while Redbull only have 1.
Ed, I think your blowing this way out of proportion. I know you guys want a title fight BUT I am afraid you wont get that this season or next, sorry.
If Max had gotten a clean final lap then he would have been on the front row or at least the second row. Pole is the most influential factor in Monaco so whoever gets it would have the best chance of winning bar some strategy or car issue.
Also, why would you build a car to win on street circuits only?? there are a hand full of this type of circuit, all the rest are conventional. Once we get to the conventional circuits then the RB will be back to its natural self.
Only the 2nd non-win in over 2 years- "such a horrible driver and team, worst ever in the sport, they do not belong in f1"
I just love seeing an actual fight again.
Nice to see the field becoming more competitive up front. It's still a little early to say Mercedes is back in the race. They didn't show any signs of being able to catch the front runners. Had Verstappen been able to get past George Russell's rolling roadblock he would have finished much closer to the leaders.
Now when redbull racing really needs its second driver to start scoring aswell , the pressure is gonna rise ever more...
The Race video title in 2 weeks: "Why Red Bull are back to domination"
Some fire background music here
Using a kid for crucial sim work is a mistake.
There are plenty of fast, experienced, consistent ex f1 drivers who have developed setup knowledge and maybe even have some basic understanding of Engineering.
You sure it was Lawson in the Red Bull sim? He was the RBR group reserve driver for the race and was definitely at the circuit (I saw him on camera watching the F2 race).
Looking forward to Singapore
One thing I've noticed, and didn't see mentioned anywhere, is that when Max didn't have a comfortable pace advantage and needs to force the limit of the car, he made errors. Miami and Q3 Monaco are the prime examples. That's another positive thing Ferrari and McLaren upgrades brought to the championship by being closer and challenging RB pace on some tracks. I hope this trend to continue for the sake of a good championship fight for the fans, and may be a three or four champ contenders next year.
If your only weakness is riding kerbs, but you are superior on every circuit where you have to actually drive on the track, I'd call that a win overall
Note: Leclerc sounds more like 'Leh Clair' than 'Luck Lurk'
in normal french pronunciation but i do remember charles himself pronounce is lucklurk i have no idea why. cant give you a link but i always remember it cuz it struck me as odd
i think the same happened with "Joe" because they asked the Chinese driver what he wanted to be called and that's how he said it maybe with a slightly harder J than western but it wasn't a Zsh sound
6:10 - RBR says Max had performance loosing floor damage post-collision, Max says he did not and the timesheet says his lap-time was as fast either side of hitting the bollard. Max himself complained he couldn’t drive the RBR20 as fast as he needed to at Miami from the start of the race, which is why he slid wide and hit the bollard in the chicane. This is the same problem, a tight corner riding kerbs - low grip, low speed.
All teams are paying Magnusen, so they can have a look at the RedBull underfoor.
3:51 Graphic wrong, Sector 1 has no Ferrari
Somehow I doubt Mercedes were fastest in Sector 1
The second Mercedes in the list should be the missing Ferrari! - The Editor
I think not only constructors but also wdc is also in play if there is competition like this
The WDC if Red bull keep struggling and max have bad lucks like in Australia and Miami if not you know the answer lol
There was a grand prix????
I thought it was the monaco formula one car show?
Red Bull's weakness was not exposed in the Monaco GP. The Monaco GP's weaknesses were exposed in the Monaco GP.
This race is a parade run at 150 mph and needs to change.
The actual race in Monaco is always on Saturday. This event is outdated.
This whole race was like a formation lap 😂😂
Their weakness was their 200cm width. Awful awful GP
Wait! I thought it was Max's supreme talent that was carrying Redbull and not the car.
Max could have just carried that Redbull on his head, sprint around Monaco, and win easily.
Lol
Same with Hamilton right? I thought he's legendary driver who can win on any cars 🤣
@@adibz959 Why bring Hamilton into this? The story is about RedBull and Max. Did you get butt hurt with my comment about your boy? Chill, there are many more races remaining in the season.
@@eudofiaLol
A tad off-subject, but I think every driver should be eligible for the point for fastest lap. It would make the back half of the grid a little more interesting if they could score more than 0, 1, or 2 points after one-third of the season.
No one should score points if the car in front of them laps them. No racing took place on Sunday
Possibly the most tedious GP I have ever watched. Apart from Ocon's usual moment of madness.
Slower corners is the issue for the RB20
I’m a Max fan but would love a championship battle between him and Charles. Props to Charles on TWO excellent race starts at Monaco, beating Piastri to the corner both times.
Why you wrote twice Mercedes in sector 1? Minute 3:52
They main weaknesses is the second driver
