#TommoF1 #JapaneseGP - Sport
Definitely deserve a better rating than Australian GP. Lots of overtaking, lots of wheel to wheel racing, strategic battle, pit stop battle, Alonso’s masterclass etc. 7/10 for me.
Really? I enjoyed AUS a lot more. No Verstappen made it somewhat open, here almost everything was clear-cut from the beginnig
@@musculusiv4172aus was clear cut as well, it was just sainz instead of max
@@aryapalla2491 only in hindsight it was an easy win for Carlos. At the time when Verstappen retired we didnt know how Ferrari v Mclaren would shape out and it was possible that Checko would be contending as well
@@aryapalla2491 THIS. If you take out the Max retirement, Aus was an absolute borefest.
@@musculusiv4172Eh there was so hope for like 5 laps that McLaren could challenge, then it was pretty clear they wouldn't, and there was absolutely nothing else going on. Definitely by the halfway stage it felt like you just wanted the race to end.
Oh wow 47 minute waffle without us. Hope you’re having a great trip 🫶🏻
Wasn't the same! 💔
@@TommoOnCZcamsabout your point on Ric incident. Ric was literally looking in his left mirror for the corner and Albon Is the one risking his car on the outside while Ric has to setup for the corner focusing on stroll. Yes nothing Albon could do cuz the gap closed, however don't seed what Ric would of done if Lance decided to launch up his inside or chopped his wing off.🫤
😊😂@@jordanhill700
Let me tell you, I'm honestly excited for Ferrari's future.
Vasseur has put together a great team, yesterday they had an amazing strategy for both drivers and that car also looks better after each race. It's crazy how long Leclerc's tires hold up.
2025 looking promising.
I agree with everything except that Leclerc's tires holding up is more of a testament to Leclerc's driving than just the car, though the car is also a big factor in it
a 6/10 rating?? the strategies and overtakes were amazing
6 is fair tbh, zero fight for the top 2 places and even the podium was pretty much secure
Yes because Brits weren't even close to the podium
Alonso Banger Drive, both during race and qualifying, he got the max out of that car
He's a good shout tbf
@@TommoOnCZcamsHe is not a good shout. He was the banger driver and it’s not even close.
Max wasn't in that car, though.
I'd give the race a 7 despite Max crushing the field again. 1st lap crash, lots of overtakes, different strategies, exciting pitstops, and battles for almost all point scoring positions
Fair shout
A 7 did we watch the same race, a 7 is a great race with lots of overtakes exiting an fight for the lead, this is definetly just a average race so 5/10 some overtakes some fight but also a lot of boring parts so basically 5/10 anything above is just wrong
Using the Indy Car points system could be a fun video! Also, when Red Bull started struggling from 2014, I dont think Christian Horner was at risk of losing his job and look where Red Bull are now, off track stuff aside.
Williams for sure had a clanger. Their saving grace is that alpine and sauber are clown shows.
The sad part is Sauber actually has a decent car which can definitely take on RB, their problem is actually easier to fix. Alpine on the other hand, is an absolute dumpster fire with those two cars. Props to Gasly and Ocon to keeping them on track while battling other drivers.
😅
I predicted that the clangers would be Perez and Ricciardo. Perez was definitely a wrong prediction, however I think for Ricciardo that came true in the end even though his qualifying was better. The clanger for the weekend overall though might be Sargeant (predictably).
I absolutely adore this track and this race was actually really enjoyable imo.
Yuki and DR H2H (including last season)
Qualifying: 8-3
Race: 7-4
Points: 22-6
11 races, half of a regular season, the gap between Yuki and DR is quite brutal.
Yuki has 100% of their points. I would have hoped for more like a 60:40 split, honestly. Yuki is making him look very average.
daniel was only slower than yuki in belgium and cota last year every other race he was quicker daniel has been poor in qualifying which is the reason hes getting caught up at the back (abu dhabi he had equal pace to yuki despite having a tear off in his brake duct, he finished 11th from 15th - bad quali good race) he was quicker in brazil with rear wing damage. We saw this weekend even despite him having no running till saturday he was there with yuki (he would have gotten that q3 spot if he had the friday running). imo his qualifying form is the only reason he isnt beating yuki and yuki is in good form which starts from his extremely consistent quali pace. Yuki is able to perform well in quali and then do the job in the race if both daniel and yuki made it out of t1/2 in 10th and 11th yesterday im sure daniel would've been fighting yuki for that point.
you’re ignoring the fact that daniels has some incident that’s compromised his race significantly in all but like 3-4 races…and yuki hasn’t had that same bad luck
Concerning for Ricciardo is how badly this season has gone for him, he has only a few races left to save his career
Yuki is on his 4th season at the same team, Red Bull gave him so much time it would be excepted for him to beat Ricardo tbh.
Ferrari's major update is coming for Imola.
So happy abouy Yuki and, to be honest, I'd put also Albon in the list of clangers (and it pains me), not 100% his fault but:
1. he was given the proper car (Logan's)
2. He knows they have no spare car for another 2 (?) races?
You drive more cautiously and bring the car home, and maybe in the process score a point or 2
here from the stream, you got this up fast thanks man
🫡
Good man, great show as ever, i hope you're both enjoying holiday
As a South African i am very happy to have Tommo is our country. I hope you enjoy your time here you lovely lad
26:50 that would look sooo bad for them! remember when HAAS had the two rookies that in almost every week-end destroyed the cars? well we never saw that year the things that Williams is doing this year!
and HAAS wasn't financially in a much better situation...
if they'll withdraw completely from the week-end it could be a very bad thing for the sport and for them
31:05 Sainz is just being sure to make a good impression on everyone on the paddock so that next year he's sure to have a seat! it's not like he's doing all of this to show Ferrari that they did the wrong choice 😅
41:00 - I'd go that far to say that Chinese GP will be Ricciardo's last career race if things don't improve right there and then.
44:20 - I'm actually happy seeing a team endorsing gambling, fail.
A 6 or 7 out of 10….call it a 6.5. Slightly above average. Nothing amazing at the front, but some pretty great racing through the midfield, and the variety of tire strategy added some interest, something we don’t always get.
Fantastic drives by Sainz, Alonso, and Tsunoda. Bottas was a surprise, but that team is just…oof. Danny Danny Danny, time to put Liam in that car I think. RB in a fight with Haas for 6th overall, and they can’t do the whole season with just Tsunoda carrying the team.
Lets go! Its still here, thanks tommo!
No love for Bottas on Banger Driver is criminal
No pove for Alonso in banger driver is actually criminal, the only driver 9ut of position apart from stroll but for the wrong reasons
Facts, would have scored points if Sauber could service a car
@@victormiguelmontero136
That’s more Stroll being useless than anything else, that Aston was quick and should have been 6th-7th with both cars
Impressive holiday kitchen video Tommo 👍
Acceptable banger driver: Verstapen, Leclerc, tsunoda. Acceptable clanger driver: Sargeant, stroll, gasly, ricciardo
Acceptable banger team: RB, Ferrari. Acceptable clanger team: Alpine, sauber, Mercedes, possibly even Williams
Logan actually had a decent race, considering he was driving a heavier secondhand chassis and he had to do three pit stops... By then he was forced to last place, which is when he went into the gravel... But before that he was moving up the field, making some decent overtakes.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, does anyone know how much heavier the repaired car is? And how heavy is Logan? (gotta be under 80kg I assume).
@@voongnz The difference between the old chassic and the repaired one is only about 200 grams.
@@dansweet8933 oh not crazy amount, so just take out 200 grams of driver ballast if he is below 80kg which i assume he is.
the sauber car isn’t even that bad. could def have points w RB and Haas if it were for the pit stops
aside from the different strategy, shoutout to the old fox alonso messing with russell by keeping piastri in his DRS
Imagine being a mechanic at Williams these days, the horror!
Tommo man, you need to reconsider the race rating.Australian gp was a 6 and it was a snooze fest.really nothing happened regarding the actual racing.This was a good race,i mean come on,go watch the full replay and make some justice.
No minton😨
You know what I think Bearman will finish the season no lower than P14 lmao
I'd be 100% ok with Stroll driving for Visa-RB
That'd be quite the fever dream.
@@TommoOnCZcams Sainz and Alonso at Aston is my fever dream
Lance should be in chinese F4
as long as Lawson gets a seat elsewhere
@@TommoOnCZcams I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. :/
Albon saw both Danny and Stroll before moving to the outside. Slightest of contact. Racing incident with neither to blame more than the other. Silly to say Danny shouldn't have moved the extra 5cm to the right or that Albon shouldn't have filled the gap to the outside of Danny.
It's lonely here, isn't it. So a driver sees a threat of collision on his left and watches the car on the left. Meantime a car that's behind him on his right does a banzai overtaking move - he was almost out of track when he started his move - which was very risky IMHO and that risky move was the greater contribution to the accident. I agree, however, that it was a racing incident at the end of the day.
I got F1 TV and let's just say it was great but also I couldn't keep myself awake long enough last night
Not sure if you got my super chat in the live or not but I was saying your streams are always much appreciated regardless of the technical difficulties
Surely Alpine need to be the clanger team! Absolutely no where!
I do honestly believe that the only driver who could challenge Fernando right now with the same car is Max. Probably Max would win, but the rest of grid is so far away from these 2 IMO. It is unbelievable what Fernando always takes from his cars. We do not see Hamilton , Ricciardo or Vettel doing the same things, as often, when their cars do not work flawlessly.
Welcome to Cape Town and hope you are enjoying your stay. Sorry about the wind, but atleast there were no loadshedding this weekend. Stay safe and stay away from brigdes..
I disagree with Daniel being a clanger, this week he didn’t get a chance to race an FP1 he didn’t race in F2 due to the weather he only had FP3 the time for him to do all of his running where all the other drivers had FP1 in their car.
I know that the crash was classified as a racing incident. However, he did have the racing line and was ahead of Alex and if it would’ve been later on in the race, Alex would’ve been at fault for that accident as he was not ahead of Daniel
going into the corner. You can also look at the inboard of the cars. However, Alex was in a blind spot, and Daniel wanted to make sure he gave space for Lance. Alex could’ve put on the brakes and not tried to go for the space looking at the footage.
Ocon deserves a lot of credit for how he’s performed this season, sadly he’s driving a moving chicane
Hope you have a great time here in South Africa! Seems you brought the UK weather here, it's freezing even in Johannesburg haha. On the plus side cold weather should be great if you go for a safaris.
Last year, Perez had won 2 out of the 4 first races and more points. Yet people say he's had a better start this year.. How?
The question is, when was the last 10/10 race? Will we have one this season? 🤔
Williams will skip China for the upgrade from XLS to XLSX Excel file format.
I think the rating is lower because you didn’t watch it live. IMO it was the better of the 4 races we have had.
im sorry but how can you give a report on a race when you didnt actually watch the race? i watched the official highlights and they do such a terrible job explaining anything that happened. this whole race was all about strategy and none of that shows up in the highlights
fym he didn’t watch the race, yes he did 💀 how else would he have known so much about what happened
@@xfrejahe literally started the video by saying he didnt watch the race but that he watched "the extended highlights"
If you’re into strategy races (I am) it was good! But being objective…7 feels high 6 too low. I’ll get my waffle maker and say 6.5
Banger Drive: Charles (sorry Yuki)
Clanger Drive: EDIT say Daniel but I was up till 3 am forgot about the going backwards on softs. Yeah gotta be Lance.
Banger Team: Ferrari. In a tight volatile midfield they’re locking down 2nd.
Clanger Team: Alpine for using an F2 car. That may have some of the most extreme speed differences I’ve seen. Even Stroll was breezing by.
Faith restored in Tommo, a lil Checo love.
Welcome to Cape Town Tommo. Your wifi is probably down/bad because of the storm. The worst we've had in a very long time. Schools closed in many towns in the Western Cape today (Monday).
Still waiting for Aston Martin to sign a second driver for 2024. Very odd to only see one car on track.
Left back in the change room 😂
Eyyyy. Are you in Cape Town? Enjoy the Mother City!
Have a fabulous time in my home city Cape Town!
Could Williams run a 23 spec car?
I'd give that race a 6.5-7/10. It had good overtakes, strategy was at play, and while yes, most were DRS, it wasn't 100% "Open DRS and fly past". Ricciardo and Albon is a racing incident, he wasn't looking to his right because he was more worried about Stroll on the inside, and tbf, Albon did try a risky move on the outside of the Esses, that's just not the place to put your car on Lap 1 tbh. Enjoyed the race otherwise.
after watching DTS and seeing Horner jump out of his skin when Danny did the lap that woulda put him on the front row....i wonder what kind of lap time Yuki could have done in. i feel like most drivers on the grid could have done a lap time to put them next to max in the RedBull...yet only Danny got the opportunity. Did Nick get that same opportunity? no. Horner is corrupt and biased as they come
Going to be stormy weather in CPT until Tuesday
Was waiting for Albon love from Tommo...😉
16:58 stroll did have a decent final stint but obviously that’s not enough, sadly shit on in quali but fabulous moves in the S’s on both Haas’s and what really screwed him during the race was the weird strategies
Gosh you’ve arrived just in time for the floods 😮😮
Yes we mainly use point plugs in SA😂
refreshed the page and tommo dropped again
29:39 damn Ocon beat Esteban
Ferrari pulling off a onestop with leclerc is a postive for them
Stroll didn’t have a clanger race at all. Qualifying aside, he was making moves the entire race. The soft tire at the end was strategy, not him.
Yep, these commentators don't really pay attention to details. They're just kind of like keyboard warriors with lots of biases.
hating on stroll is a trend at this point, which I don't agree with at all, it's just lazy. He was making some great moves on those soft tires but the tires just absolutely fell off by the end and Hulk got past. not a clanger
Williams can't skip a race. They would have to get a special exception from the FIA and all the other teams, because the contract says they have to attend all 28 races or however many they decided to have this year.
Are the sponsors on RB really anything to do with Ricciardo? I doubt it. CashApp was on the Red Bull from 2022 - 2023 so I very much doubt they jumped to the lesser team due to a driver who has had such a poor couple of years. That was obviously some kind of internal sponsorship shift. I am also not convinced he has anything to do with Visa or Hugos decision to switch. Hell, Hugo alone is probably more interested in Yuki than they are of Daniel considering Yuki is a bit of a fashionista. Hugo is a Gen-Z focused brand, why would they be interested in a millenial driver?
Not a hope Hugo prioritise Tsunoda over DR. Daniel is one of the most famous F1 drivers of all time, he undoubtedly brings in sponsors.
@@cormacmacaongusa One of the most famous drivers of all time? Not even fucking close. You go out and talk to non F1 fans, nobody will know who he is. Go out mention Senna, Prost, Mansell, Hill, Stewart, Hamilton and Schumacher, they will know them. Ricciardo is certainly famous to F1 fans, but beyond that he is nobody. And its not about priortising, its about targeting a driver who appeals to the generation they are aiming their clothes at. Yuki is far more likely to wear their clothes than Danny is.
@caphowdy666 Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton are the only ones listed who are more famous than Ricciardo. Daniel Ricciardo is definitely more recognisable than the names Stewart, Mansel, Hill and Prost. Not a competition, F1 is just more popular than it was in the past. And it doesn't really matter what Yuki wears, it's about popularity.
@@caphowdy666
Of the 2010s, definitely. He is still in the top 5 for Grand Prix victories on the current grid, he has the same as the Ferrari drivers combined
It’s clear to see who is new around here, Ricciardo has made a big impact
For a few years he was THE most exciting driver on the grid, his late-breaking daring moves, and always winning great races
The fact he was Webber’s replacement, his excellent 2014 season against the reigning champion Vettel, his close teammate battle with Verstappen, major wins like Monaco 2018, his podiums with Renault, his win with McLaren
He’s a man for big moments, and has a TON of marketability. Like it or not, he’s played a big part in VCARB’s rise even if he’s underdelivered on track
Hi mate, if you need any recommendations from a Cape Town local let me know! Shame about the weather, but enjoy it!
I still don’t see the justification for Ricardo trying to take the racing line immediately like that the car inside was not next to him
Used to be my favorite driver(def driving style) but the terrible decisions and just relying on smiling and quirky little interview interruptions is so old. Going wide on that turn just seemed like such a rookie move
@@javiercubillo1522going wide at the turn ? Oh you mean following the racing line ? Idiot go away, there was no chance I hell Albon was ever going to make that pass especially sitting in riccs blind spot.
I guess Daniel was looking left because Stroll was there and didn't want to cut across him, and while he's looking left, Alex sends it up his right and by the narrowest of margins clips Daniel's rear tyre.
Daniel can't look both left and right at the same time.
Unfortunate for Daniel because his pace was better in quali this week.
I genuinely feel bad about the weather. Welcome to "Sunny South Africa!", hey ;0p… anyway… don't just do CT. If you can, get to the Eastern Cape (Natures Valley and Tsitsikamma National Park)… if you can, try get up to Kruger. The weather is always better in-land. Enjoy!
Off topic but where’d you get that shirt Tommo????
I predicted Verstappen to win, Leclerc for banger drive, Stroll for clanger drive, Ferrari for banger team and Williams for clanger team and I’ll argue for all of them for some personal predictions points
I think this is spot on!
Tommo is here in South Africa?!😮😂
I mean you are literally cooking standing in that kitchen 😂😂
That is a wild shirt. DR fashion?
26:00 i think the fia still gives out fines if a team doesn't show up to the event they've done it loads of times in the past
How much racing would Williams have to do to be classed as having raced in China ?
Yuki now is in the same territory as Gasly in his alphatauri stint, very good for them but not enough to move him to the main red bull team
Makes you wonder what Gasly would be doing if he were still at VCARB
He’d definitely be in the top 10 most weeks
@@Duval-In-The-Wall as long as stroll keep underperforming, he could and should
I still think that Alpine deserves clanger team. Before sargeants error they were like 20 and 25 seconds behind the rest of the field without a visible problem. Juist embarrassing
HEY TOMMO
45:07 Indianapolis 2005? 😅
7 time world champion Lewis Hamilton is three points ahead of Yuki Tsunoda in the drivers championship standings. Mercedes fans I feel your pain.
It is so weird with Lance Stroll. Everybody is fighting for their seat holding on to dear life except Lance who can do whatever he wants and still have a seat next year.
When anyone else's dad buys out a team to save it from going under administration, and then invests few times more afterwards to make it competitive, then they can also behave and enjoy like lancie boy does.
I have no love for a canadian or any other average driver, but that bitching is so hipocritical, is someone deserved his bought f1 seat that's lance, they literally made today's aston martin and hence prolonged careers of seb, alonso and others in the future.
Relax it was just facts not criticism. If he had to fight for his seat he would probably be a much better driver. That was actually my point. @@dannyboy-vtc5741
Be thankful Mazepins were forced to leave F1 or we would have been stuck with him too
That race was bang average at best. I found it pretty boring tbh.
Dont get me wrong I love Yuki in the points nevertheless
Do you need any recommendations in Cape Town, let me know, the locals and I will welcome you with open arms
I'm rooting for Haas and for Nico Hulkenberg to get to a better team to finally get his podium. He even passed Lance on those softs in the end for P11. Mercedes? German driver for a german team, I don't think it's that far fetched.
How did Alpine not get Clanger Team? they were fucking nowhere, even with their weight saving upgrades. Every team was breezing past the
Don't want to throw my fellow fans under the bus but my god did most people vote badly on Bangers and Clangers. No idea how Stroll got less than a quarter of the vote for clanger
Probably because most people vote based on the race alone, and in the race he was making moves left and right-in unorthodox places as well. Tire strategy wasn’t on him either
People are desensitized to Stroll’s uselessness at this point, 12th in an Aston Martin is pathetic
@@gribbin7889I mean he was passing Alpines. Couldn't get passed Yuki in a slower car, and then got passed by Hulk at the end. Out in Q1. About a minute behind his teammate.
So to you if you are driving and someone run into the back of you even the back tire the they are not in the wrong you are, yes you can go on the outside but you run the risk given Williams repair bills I would think not taking such a risk
Yuki ffs 🙄
"This is Lewis' worst start ever to a season"
Why do people keep forgetting about 2009 when he scored only 10 points in the first 9 races?
And yes, I know that with the current points system he'd have 28 points but I do see him get more than that before we get to Canada.
Lewis has always been very hypocritical imo about these type of things and just seems to forget stuff like this.
Alpine slower this year than last year statisticly is just so so sad
I think I actualy prefer the chinwag without chat. Easier to follow
Clanger team = Alpine
Bro couldn’t get up at 6 am???
He's on holiday, give him a break
@@cormacmacaongusa I’m not criticizing I just think it’s funny
Why would Sainz want to go to Mercedes as they are struggling so badly
Tbf other than rb he doesn't have a better option
I'm surprised by your race rating. I thought the race was much better. It had both great overtakes, and intriguing strategy. There also didn't seem to be much downtime, with something always going on. It also didn't rely on artificial factors with safety cars/red flags and changing weather to be entertaining. For a clean, dry race, I don't see it getting much better apart from their being a fight for the win.
Classic AlBias!
Daniel moved over into Albon, the stewards agreed that it was Ricciardo's fault
what damage did Hamilton have in his car?
Emotional damage
None lol
I’m catching up. So, I’m from Cape Town. The strong wind is called The Black South Easter. Plugs: hmm, your plugs in UK are weird. Why have a go at plugs??? Enjoy my beautiful country, Rugby World Cup winners, again!
Lol, tommo just completely forgetting the 2009 mclaren.
Visa crash app
Lol as a South African (from Cape Town btw) .. Try stepping on that plug.. It's worse than Lego mate
