2:10 is a completely different situation compared to the first two, at 2:10 Verstappen had 1 lap old warm tires, while Lewis had new cold tires, so obviously Max was way way way faster at that moment and had much more grip, he could easely brake way later and Lewis was essentially just not doing a smart move and steering into Verstappen on top of it all. 0:40 Lewis probably didn't expect Max do shift this perfect, the Mercedes was the faster car, Lewis probably expected to only give Max a free slipstream if he moved in front of him. Max somehow managed to speed up perfectly and braked later on top of it, then there's only one way, back of. I think that Lewis should have given him the slipstream, then Max would probably have had to back of himself and then Lewis had an easy pass. 1:26 - 1:31 Max was in front the entire time, Lewis trying to overtake him on the outside just ain't a smart move (all over again), anyone with a bit of racing experience should know that, it seems like Lewis is simply not used to overtaking or beïng overtaken, he really drives like an unexperienced driver.

From what I see, Hamilton seems to put a lot of trust on his clean air pace and their pit strategy that he’s always “just trying to survive Verstappen” first half of 2021 season.
Except for Silverstone 2021, where he saw in the sprint race, if he let Verstappen got away on round one, he will never see him again. He therefore understeered into Verstappen, the Red Bull ender up into the wall, Verstappen to the hospital, and Red Bull overspending their budget to fix the car, something that they are still paying for today.

verstappen did it many times in 2018 ~ 20, the difference is that hamilton knew that his car was much better so there was no reason to be agressive too if in some laps he could overtake him easily, from 2021 it was not the same anymore and if he kept letting max by he would lose the championship, now i think its the opposite, max know his car is much better so he is less agressive, a example of this is australia 2023 when lewis was agressive but max overtook him without any difficulty with drs because of this car difference. So (in my opinion) they play their games relative with the machinery, now its lewis turn.
Australia '23 wasn't even an agressive move, Max left the door open. Lewis overtook him and left him space on the exit. Compare this to some of the clips from this video and it's a night-and-day difference. At the end of the day, the way you overtake is a conscious decision, Hamilton's early years in F1 weren't agressive (particularly when battling Vettel and Webber's RBs or Kimi and Massa's Ferraris) and even now with, on average, the 3rd/4th fastest car, I haven't seen him send any kamikaze moves on anyone. It's can be frustrating to watch Max pull off a kamikaze overtake on a driver you support but I don't think Max should be blamed as, at the end of the day, the FIA's ruleset allowed (and still allow) Max to drive in the way he does. All annoyance should be directed to them. Edit: This comment was written in response to Jonathan's opinion that drivers only drive agressively when their cars are slower than the people they're racing with. In it, I refer to the seasons Lewis competed for the WDC at McLaren ('07, '08, '10, '12) as evidence that (imo) Jonathan's take is wrong and that this trend is more specific to Max than anyone. [Alonso @ Ferrari '10, '12, Kimi @ Ferrari '07 are other good examples]. Hamilton wasn't fighting Massa for the championship in '11 and so comments pointing out that they collided a lot aren't a relevant rebuttal to my comment.
@@danielo7985 i mean tbf his early years at mclaren were pretty aggressive nonetheless, especially during the silver war era when he was battling against nico too (2014-2016). Im not saying one is worse but they both definitely drive aggressive till they have a good car under them

We all know Lewis almost always not trying to defend the inside line, because he like his "Switch-back" move which is very effective in the past especially againts Rosberg
yes, i actually agree with this. i believe it never against max because max was much better at maintaining his speed out of the corner than rosberg. even to this day, you'll see max always prioritizing corner exit speed, even at cost of a much slower entry than normal.
@@fruitygranulizer540 Not really, the switch back almost never works on Verstappen because he blocks the other car. It's not illegal, since he owns the corner, it's just annoying to the other driver since he is giving space.
Lewis loves inside line so that the can conveniently understeer and take someone out, with himself gain positions often his own car intact. Whereas Max, often either crash himself alone, or take someone out with him, don't from the crash benefit himself. Max really need to learn from Lewis how to take opponent out and gain advantage at the same time, that's why Lewis is GOAT, able using all tricks to his advantage, super good at politics and off grid media propaganda. Max still got a lot to learn from Lewis (who is a more complete package). Max is still naive, pure love of racing (hobby is still Sim Racing lol), and bloody direct that spit out anything he thought.
Why Tsunoda got a penalty for a similar maneuver is beyond me. This clip shows easily how Zhou could have made the corner. And Max came in way harder than Tsunoda did.
@@DevilWolf000 they're basically alongside in the corner. Max breaks too late because he goes deep into the corner. If lewis didn't give up max was going to crash into him. No skill issue, it's called having brain cells.
I like how somewhere in the season, lewis said enough. And they started colliding every race almost. Lewis should have been aggresive from the season start. But he let himself get bullied in the first half.

I mean Adrian newey confessed that max brake tested Lewis in Saudi '21 and you're here defending what exactly ? Every F1 driver at some point is guilty of being aggressive, but very few had the reputation of being dangerous like max.
If Max raced himself in 2021 he would've crashed way more times. It's visibly obvious that most times it was Lewis who avoids Max's aggressive moves, especially at the starts, and the few times where he decides he's going to be aggressive too, they end up crashing, and that's what F1 fans focus on

You have to see all these situations in the context of the championship standings etc.. If you do then it all makes sense why Lewis did and did not back off and why Max didn't back off at Monza.. Same with the Silverstone 2021 incident, that crash had everything to do with what happened a day earlier in the sprintrace.. Same with Senna vs Prost in Japan 1990 and I could go on and on.. Context is everything to understand why drivers act like they do..
It comes down to who has more to lose or the perceived more to lose, a driver isn't going to give a lesson if they don't want to lose the position they are in even if they let him pass.
that didn't happen. Lewis just didn't back off after that and Crashmax simply drove like a mad man anyway. I mean even Silverstone didn't stop him he just cried to his dad who cried to Horner who cried to the FIA who tried to tell Lewis that HE was being too aggressive . Hamilton said Fucyou too.
2021 was the most intense season i've watched. Just crazy. I'll get it why Max was so agressive. He finally had a winning car. It should've been less exciting if: 1. If he didn't had that exploding Tire at Baku 2. If Hamilton didn't collide with him at Silverstone 3. If Bottas didn't play bumper cars at Hungaroring

@@tedfromyt6523and if hamilton hadn’t gotten lucky with the russel bottas crash he wouldn’t have scored any points and the red flag in silverstone saved him since his car wouldn’t have survived and therefore dnf instead of 25 points
Implying there was no race where Hamilton was losing out because of factors he couldn't influence himself or simply got super lucky on. Hamilton btw. got no points in Baku either, maybe one can say it's his fault, but you could argue as well that mercedes could have prevented this from happening with a design where you can't hit the magic button when just driving lol. That's just racing.
"drives like lewis"? What that is supposed to mean? He doesn't take risks? That's not what I saw in Monaco a few days ago. You are forgetting 1 big thing: Max does improve in Sims, that's nothing Lulu ever liked to do. So he's in constant improving and learning what he can do next, and with the fastest car, it's an easier job. It's not the same driving when he had less power/performance car, but even that he's still dominant and not only by his car.
@@thatfunnykekguy6377 imagine if Lewis left all this celebrity stuff and focused on sim racing and racing 24/7 like Max,imagine he went karting a lot,he would beat everyone easily lol,Lewis is arguably the best driver on the grid rn,or 2nd and thats without him being 100% invested in racing he does a lot of stuff out of it
He’s always driven a lot like Hamilton. In his 2015-2021 days he drove like Hamilton from 2007-2016. Now he often drives like Hamilton from 2017 onwards.
I know exactly why Lewis backed off in Spain, in 2016 Nico did a similar start, Lewis however covered the inside allowing Nico to go around the outside of Lewis. Learning from his mistake then he learned holding the inside line may not have been his best option I guess.
i dont think that the mistake. nico just braking late and go futher ahead than lewis on that turn..then lewis got better traction on that turn 2 and got better speed on turn 3 while nico engines in incorrect setting. derated..
If Lewis gives Max the inside for 1, and Max races fairly (aka, leaving a car's width on the outside), Lewis would have the line for 2. Defending the inside isn't always better in a fast chicane like that. Look at the move Checo pulled on, I think it was Carlos? when he braked later on an outside line and just plum drove round him.
I used to think Monza '21 was Hamilton's fault, but the point that Verstappen put Ricciardo in the same exact situation earlier in the race and Danny backed out made me change my mind
@@kondjedes4866 100 % verstappens fault even if hamilton gave him room, which he wasnt obligated to do he was still way too deep from T1 and going to launch off the kerb and across the track, and i like both drivers tbh
Max’s style is similar to a Senna and sometimes Schumacher. Thing is Lewis doesn’t always drive like that. In order to beat Max you have to adjust your style to be more aggressive. It would have been amazing to see Max Vs Senna and Schumacher. Actually they all won’t give an inch and might just crash every race 😅 I’m actually cheering on Max for the championship and will say Alonso is someone who will race Max like Max does if given the chance. That would be fun to watch.
Yet when Russell gave the same treatment to Max in the recent Baku race Max complained he was too aggressive in the first lap. I mean come on. Zero self awareness. He likes to give it but doesn't like taking it back.
@@isaacm2374 That is pure bs and you clearly don't know what you're talking about. The difference is that Max was on the inside line and was ahead while hitting the apex. George in Baku was behind, went too fast and completely missed the apex.
Have u ever seen a race of Michael or Senna ? Dude ur comparison is really really wrong. A lot of f1 fan nowadays just mention Senna like a kid in highschool mention his cool "friend".
Of course when max leaves no spaces (which he does really often) it's totally fine for him and the other driver has to back of, but when he gets no space, the thought backing of doesn't even go through his brain, causing a collision
That version of Lewis just came off after a very dominant 2020 season, that's why we often see him allow himself get manhandled through the braking zones and corners by Max because he conditioned himself to a car that can easily do its job well but when he realized he needs to be his old aggressive self and take risks again just like how he made Massa lose his mind in Monaco in 2011, it's too late because every risk he takes will always favor Max's favorable championship position. Sometimes, period of dominance will always have that pattern for a driver, the aggressive rise (Lewis' 2014-2017 season), absolute peak (2018-2020), and signs of weaknesses and cracks (2021-2022). He was so used to winning that he still believed at that point that the Red Bull car is still inferior but not anymore, like the Roman Empire, he didn't adapt that quick late in his era of dominance
When you look at Max Vs. Lewis and compare it with his battles with Ricciardio, Leclerc etc. you can see how much Lewis lets himself get bullied. I feel like if he just covered his line a lot of the incidents and times he got overtaken wouldn’t have happened in 2021.
Yep, people talk about how much Max is a bully when overtaking, but ignore that Lewis is one of the most passive drivers when defending. He puts himself in these situations with Max, specially when you compare to guys like Charles or George that defend and block much earlier, and make Max have a way harder time overtaking
I feel like part of this is due to the fact that he got used to being so much faster than everyone else that he wasn't expecting red bull to be at an equal level.
I think they just have a different understanding on what's fair in a race. Not just Max vs Lewis, it's more like the new gen drivers vs older drivers. You watch how Kimi raced, even going through corners, if there's a car beside him, he'd leave enough space for both of them to get through. Max (and Leclerc) would just run you off track the moment (he feels) he is 1 inch ahead. I remember there were a couple times towards the second half of 2021 where Lewis did not back off and they really ended up crashing.
@@LeongGunners You mean like in Silverstone where Ham was half a car behind and on the wrong racingline and shunted Verstappen off to then go and win the whole thing? 0p for Verstappen 25 for Ham. Fair racing i assume.
This is Max knowing the RB was not as good as the Mercedes. He knew he had to be in front. The last few years you've seen the other side of Max knowing the RB is the class of the field. Suddenly he became a much more patient driver.
funny how the Max fans think, when he does these moves to others it's not his fault he''s "racing" but when others do it to him they lose their minds. it's almost a blessing he's not having any close competition at the moment, him and hamilton could of had some really nasty accidents during that season.
They were matched in quali but it was nearly impossible for the RB to pass a merc with the straight line deficit in the dirty air era, without draining the battery or being on a different tyre strat. Catching Bottas in Russia being the notable exception. The car that's quicker in the corners is more affected by front deg because fronts are crucial in extracting its laptime and are pushed more, whereas the car with better top speed doesn't lose a massive amount of laptime due to front deg.
That applied to all the cars. Recently re watched the 2021 season and both Max and Lewis were stuck behind the McLaren cars in the Monza race. They couldn't get past for the entire firsts stint. And of course that is why they had to put Max and that famous collision happend. The same in Sochi when Hamilton was stuck behind Norris for 20 laps and Lando would have won if the rain didn't come. It's was just harder to follow in those cars with the dirty air without a huge pace deficit.
i kind of stopped watching F1 after 2016 until 2021. so im not sure if this was an actual thing during those years. but technically a car that has higher downforce (being faster in turns, but slower on the straights) has lower degradation of the tires in the turns because you slide less. unless the mercedes willingly backed off during turns and made that time back on the straights. that wouldnt be a car characteristic but a driver tactic though.
I have rarely seen Lewis being aggressive during starts. Aggressive in the sense risking dnf for a couple of positions whereas the likes of max and Alonso would absolutely go if there is even a slight chance. It’s just their driving style it seems.
Nah because then he would’ve actually covered the inside, Lewis could’ve solved a lot of problems by doing that instead of racing like he had no competition, like he’d been doing a few years
@@hunterreeves6525 yeah lol covered himself that's what he did in Monza though and then max fanboys lost their shit on how could he be so aggressive defending haha and now when he doesn't he gets criticised anyway. You lot would be a disgrace to any kind of sport leave alone f1
He can’t face a clean challenge, it’s either his way or no other way. Which is bad, that’s not how it is to be a racing driver, have more confidence in your driving capability to overtaking clean whether on the inside or outside, but don’t drive off the driver ahead of you just so you get track position. You can say whatever you want but, that’s not fighting fair, it’s aggressive driving.
No he wasn't, this is something people, who clearly havent watched Hamilton from the beginning his career, say to justify Max's style of overtaking. In his first *4* seasons on the grid, Hamilton was deemed at fault for 4 incidents ONLY (including a stupid one for "illegally" overtaking Kimi at Spa). Now compare this to Max's first 4 seasons... I'm not going to bother it's a night-and-day difference and to be fair to Verstappen that's to be expected, he got thrown into F1 at *16* , jumping from F3 to F1. Only a robot could make fewer errors in the same time period. Max is in his 9th year, even if you go season-by-season, Hamilton's been cleaner and not pulled off similar moves. In fact, Hamilton's only poor season, in terms of being over agressive and causing collisions, was '11, after that season he went back to normal. We all need to please stop comparing the two, especially those who want to create and use a fake narrative of Lewis' junior career to justify Max's driving style.
@@danielo7985 okay buddy. Step out of your delusion and bias. Every race driver that saw a chance for the championship and was willing to take it (Senna, Schumacher, Verstappen, Hamilton and the likes) had to drive aggressively so long as the other car was competing or beating them in pace. It's the only way to get ahead of them other than accidents you'd have to hope and pray happen.

@@groundedgaming lewis only did it once he was a clean driver that season. max did it many times with no punishement especially the brazil situation and break checking him in saudi.
I am glad at least one driver is sensible in that scenario. If both the drivers have the same mentality, probably one might go into the wall at high speed or one car might end up on top of another. Hmmmmmm
exactly, mental games. World is super competitive, you have to be ruthless to be the champion. 2016 how Hamilton drive last 15-20 laps ahead of Rosberg and rightly so.
Also this is one of the reasons Hamilton took the escape route in Abu Dhabi on lap 1. Since they were level on points and Max was ahead in the standings and he definitely didnt mind a DNF. Also Max thinks the rule giving a car's width of space to others doesnt apply to him. He did the same in Brazil. Kept pushing Lewis out.
I'm not super attuned to the history and complexities of why the racing rules they way that they are, and I used to think the same as you, but the rules actually give favor to the car on the inside line, and that car does not have to leave space for the car on the outside. The outside car is expected to back off because the inside like car cannot possibly make the corner while leaving space. Check out 2021 Imola that F1 posted on their CZcams channel. They actually discuss this exact scenario and how the rule favors the inside line, so given this, whether we believe it's fair or not, it's just strange how Lewis chose to not take that line and defend in these instances.
Lewis can't get 'pushed off' and cut the entire corner off, gain about a second ahead of max, and then get no repercussions for it. I guess losing the WDC was the repercussion.
It's not a guess, the faster side of the track with the most grip that opens up turn 1 is from the racing line, which Lewis started from... Max came left to open turn 1. It was smart.
Unfortunately as people know from karting, the fastest line isn't the best through the first corner at the start of the race, for the reason that Max demonstrates. You have to take a slower but more defensive line
Driving styles aside, this crash will always be remembered as the day Toto Wolff changed his opinion about the Halo. Prior to this accident, he hated the Halo so much he was willing to cut it off with a chainsaw.

In the first 2 Lewis just leaves the door open, there is nothing wrong with them. Also, these are with 2021 cars, dirty air had massive impact on these cars so leading the first lap was extra important, so he had to take more risks.
spain i agree, but imola was just too aggressive and in the wet, plus no real run off outside of the curb i think max pushed the limits and should have gotten a penalty
@@maxshefras2752 but imola is where he had a great drive off the line to be noticeably in front of Hamilton even before the braking point. the corner could well be argued to be his already, depending on which precedents or subsequent cases you refer to as a standard of judgement.

Its like he’s not changed his racing style since the karting days, because in karting this is exactly how it is, and everyone accepts it, that if you are on the outside you have to back out or else you get bumped off the track.
he has changed, quite a lot and if you look at how 2021 with Lewis went, with 2022 before Ferrari decided to torpedo themselves out of the fight, there were no crashes, but Leclerc still could fight Verstappen on equal footing driving wise (until like i said Ferrari torpedoed that chance) 2021 problems came from the two drivers, not just Max.
Very clever tbf, he knew that the merc had a slight pace advantage on average so track position was so important. Pretty much put Lewis between a rock and a hard place because he either looses position or gets hit.
on average over a whole season is a retarded stat, rb definitely the edge of merc in the beginning, the stat only says otherwise because of the speed mec brought with their new engine lol
I believe racing lines are there for something, the penalty comes when you make an aggressive move out of the racing line, which is what you're ought to defend. The drs is there to overcome the disadvantage of not being able to overtake in case the defender sticks to the racing line strictly. Again, this is just again, correct me if I'm wrong
hamilton always backed out after silverstone he just couldn't continue or he will lose . the brazil situation was crazy where verstepan pushed him off the entire track and massi did nothing. he passed 19 cars without an incident only max
@@jasperli I think most people who say Max drove like Senna haven't actually watched Senna drive. They see that both were agressive and performed similar "suicidal" overtakes so conclude they were similar drivers.
Crashtappen has done this not only to Hamilton, but also to many more including Riccardo, Vettel, Kimi etc. But he started crying when Russell gave him back his own medicine.
oh please be original and try to think for yourself. Please tell me when was the last time he crashed? go back to watching dts, and try to cope a little more.
The Mercedes was the better race car in Spain 2021. The issue was track position meant a lot more in the previous regulations. You needed either a significant tire advantage or just outright significant pace advantage to overtake, which is what happened at the end of the race with Merc doing the obvious strategy given their driver couldn’t overtake on track on the same strategy with a faster car. Verstappens move is completely justified. He made Mercedes earn the win. Lewis left the door open and Max ran down the inside to take the lead. If Verstappen doesn’t lead at this point, it’s another lights to flag win for Hamilton. This is unlike Silverstone where Lewis had an acre of space to drive into but still drove into Max and celebrated like he had basically solved cancer. Right guy won the title. He was a step ahead of Hamilton the entire year.
I think it is genius. Max goes for risky moves because he has nothing to lose. There are 2 outcomes first is they crash so they both have 0 points. Second is Max leads the race which means his strategy worked.
This has nothing to do with beeing a "genius" it's just a typical verstappen beeing the arsehole he is. Imagine everyone drives like that. There is a reasong why this clown is one of the least respected drivers across motorsports.
Hamilton had the faster car, Max still bossed him. Plus in both Max had Spain and Emola had inside line and Hamilton never tried to cover it thinking since he had faster car will overtake him anyhow irrespective of first corner. Max was SuperMax in 2021.

As much as I love seeing Hamilton lose (only because of his dominance), I can't believe it's acceptable to run a driver off of the road just because you have the inside line. If someone is significantly along side than space should be left.
I think hamilton net defending the inside of 1 makes sesnse because he probably wasn't expecting verstappen to go as deep and then he would have had the inside line for turn 2 which followed right after
I don't get what is wrong with the imola one....max was clearly ahead before the corner, lewis made it a difficult situation by also braking pretty late trying to go on the outside of max while max closed the door which was completely okay
Lewis seems like he does not care at least until Austin 2021,sometimes he defends the inside line sometimes he doesnt and gets a P2 and be like great job guys onto the next one😀
did we see the same video? are people actually willing to just ignore max driving him off the track? max fans cried so hard during brazil 2021 for lewis "not respecting max's corner" but when max drives hamilton off its due to hamilton's imcompetence in defending... what a joke
@@sean-pl3us not sure what you're on about with Brazil 2021, I assume you're referring to T4 where Max pushed him off track. In which case most Max fans will agree that he should have received a penalty there. Going back to this video though, what I commented is 100% accurate, there's countless times where Lewis should have defended the inside but didn't, which allows Max to be aggressive and chuck it up the inside. Lewis is known for taking wide lines and not defending the inside.

@@Jonathan-mj1oe Yes IMO Max is at fault for Imola and Lewis for Monza. Once someone is alongside you, you can’t just pinch them off the track, especially if it’s sausage curbs and gravel on the outside and not paved runoff
Max is ahead at the apex and on the inside, he's allowed to do that. It's his corner at that point. Almost every driver does this... Monza is a completely seperate issue because he isn't ahead. Decide for yourself who is wrong in that scenario, they both could've done things better there imo.

Clownstappen
2:10 is a completely different situation compared to the first two, at 2:10 Verstappen had 1 lap old warm tires, while Lewis had new cold tires, so obviously Max was way way way faster at that moment and had much more grip, he could easely brake way later and Lewis was essentially just not doing a smart move and steering into Verstappen on top of it all.
0:40 Lewis probably didn't expect Max do shift this perfect, the Mercedes was the faster car, Lewis probably expected to only give Max a free slipstream if he moved in front of him. Max somehow managed to speed up perfectly and braked later on top of it, then there's only one way, back of. I think that Lewis should have given him the slipstream, then Max would probably have had to back of himself and then Lewis had an easy pass.
1:26 - 1:31 Max was in front the entire time, Lewis trying to overtake him on the outside just ain't a smart move (all over again), anyone with a bit of racing experience should know that, it seems like Lewis is simply not used to overtaking or beïng overtaken, he really drives like an unexperienced driver.

From what I see, Hamilton seems to put a lot of trust on his clean air pace and their pit strategy that he’s always “just trying to survive Verstappen” first half of 2021 season.
Except for Silverstone 2021, where he saw in the sprint race, if he let Verstappen got away on round one, he will never see him again. He therefore understeered into Verstappen, the Red Bull ender up into the wall, Verstappen to the hospital, and Red Bull overspending their budget to fix the car, something that they are still paying for today.

meanwhile hamilton : HE HIT US FIRST
verstappen did it many times in 2018 ~ 20, the difference is that hamilton knew that his car was much better so there was no reason to be agressive too if in some laps he could overtake him easily, from 2021 it was not the same anymore and if he kept letting max by he would lose the championship, now i think its the opposite, max know his car is much better so he is less agressive, a example of this is australia 2023 when lewis was agressive but max overtook him without any difficulty with drs because of this car difference. So (in my opinion) they play their games relative with the machinery, now its lewis turn.
Australia '23 wasn't even an agressive move, Max left the door open. Lewis overtook him and left him space on the exit. Compare this to some of the clips from this video and it's a night-and-day difference. At the end of the day, the way you overtake is a conscious decision, Hamilton's early years in F1 weren't agressive (particularly when battling Vettel and Webber's RBs or Kimi and Massa's Ferraris) and even now with, on average, the 3rd/4th fastest car, I haven't seen him send any kamikaze moves on anyone.
It's can be frustrating to watch Max pull off a kamikaze overtake on a driver you support but I don't think Max should be blamed as, at the end of the day, the FIA's ruleset allowed (and still allow) Max to drive in the way he does. All annoyance should be directed to them.
Edit: This comment was written in response to Jonathan's opinion that drivers only drive agressively when their cars are slower than the people they're racing with. In it, I refer to the seasons Lewis competed for the WDC at McLaren ('07, '08, '10, '12) as evidence that (imo) Jonathan's take is wrong and that this trend is more specific to Max than anyone. [Alonso @ Ferrari '10, '12, Kimi @ Ferrari '07 are other good examples].
Hamilton wasn't fighting Massa for the championship in '11 and so comments pointing out that they collided a lot aren't a relevant rebuttal to my comment.
@@danielo7985 i mean tbf his early years at mclaren were pretty aggressive nonetheless, especially during the silver war era when he was battling against nico too (2014-2016). Im not saying one is worse but they both definitely drive aggressive till they have a good car under them

We all know Lewis almost always not trying to defend the inside line, because he like his "Switch-back" move which is very effective in the past especially againts Rosberg
yes, i actually agree with this. i believe it never against max because max was much better at maintaining his speed out of the corner than rosberg. even to this day, you'll see max always prioritizing corner exit speed, even at cost of a much slower entry than normal.
@@fruitygranulizer540 Not really, the switch back almost never works on Verstappen because he blocks the other car. It's not illegal, since he owns the corner, it's just annoying to the other driver since he is giving space.
Lewis loves inside line so that the can conveniently understeer and take someone out, with himself gain positions often his own car intact. Whereas Max, often either crash himself alone, or take someone out with him, don't from the crash benefit himself. Max really need to learn from Lewis how to take opponent out and gain advantage at the same time, that's why Lewis is GOAT, able using all tricks to his advantage, super good at politics and off grid media propaganda. Max still got a lot to learn from Lewis (who is a more complete package). Max is still naive, pure love of racing (hobby is still Sim Racing lol), and bloody direct that spit out anything he thought.
I think there are no innocent racing drivers isn't, they use tricks just to gain advantage, just like in life@@ZiYiYeap
But for switchbacks u need some space and max certainly won't give that

Simple to fix Max’s attitude. Just don’t back off. After 2 or 3 races he will either change or the FIA will punish him.
It comes down to who has more to lose or the perceived more to lose, a driver isn't going to give a lesson if they don't want to lose the position they are in even if they let him pass.
Everyone has something to lose. Their lives in particular.

If Lewis gives Max the inside for 1, and Max races fairly (aka, leaving a car's width on the outside), Lewis would have the line for 2. Defending the inside isn't always better in a fast chicane like that. Look at the move Checo pulled on, I think it was Carlos? when he braked later on an outside line and just plum drove round him.
Wow incredible footage. 👏

@@hoya1178 George wasn't behind .......George was wheel to wheel and had the inside line
Of course when max leaves no spaces (which he does really often) it's totally fine for him and the other driver has to back of, but when he gets no space, the thought backing of doesn't even go through his brain, causing a collision
That version of Lewis just came off after a very dominant 2020 season, that's why we often see him allow himself get manhandled through the braking zones and corners by Max because he conditioned himself to a car that can easily do its job well but when he realized he needs to be his old aggressive self and take risks again just like how he made Massa lose his mind in Monaco in 2011, it's too late because every risk he takes will always favor Max's favorable championship position. Sometimes, period of dominance will always have that pattern for a driver, the aggressive rise (Lewis' 2014-2017 season), absolute peak (2018-2020), and signs of weaknesses and cracks (2021-2022). He was so used to winning that he still believed at that point that the Red Bull car is still inferior but not anymore, like the Roman Empire, he didn't adapt that quick late in his era of dominance

When you look at Max Vs. Lewis and compare it with his battles with Ricciardio, Leclerc etc. you can see how much Lewis lets himself get bullied.
I feel like if he just covered his line a lot of the incidents and times he got overtaken wouldn’t have happened in 2021.
Yep, people talk about how much Max is a bully when overtaking, but ignore that Lewis is one of the most passive drivers when defending. He puts himself in these situations with Max, specially when you compare to guys like Charles or George that defend and block much earlier, and make Max have a way harder time overtaking
I feel like part of this is due to the fact that he got used to being so much faster than everyone else that he wasn't expecting red bull to be at an equal level.
I think they just have a different understanding on what's fair in a race. Not just Max vs Lewis, it's more like the new gen drivers vs older drivers. You watch how Kimi raced, even going through corners, if there's a car beside him, he'd leave enough space for both of them to get through. Max (and Leclerc) would just run you off track the moment (he feels) he is 1 inch ahead.
I remember there were a couple times towards the second half of 2021 where Lewis did not back off and they really ended up crashing.

This is Max knowing the RB was not as good as the Mercedes. He knew he had to be in front. The last few years you've seen the other side of Max knowing the RB is the class of the field. Suddenly he became a much more patient driver.
funny how the Max fans think, when he does these moves to others it's not his fault he''s "racing" but when others do it to him they lose their minds. it's almost a blessing he's not having any close competition at the moment, him and hamilton could of had some really nasty accidents during that season.
did it today
yelistener after dropping this video: 😏🍿
"Oh the drama!"
They were matched in quali but it was nearly impossible for the RB to pass a merc with the straight line deficit in the dirty air era, without draining the battery or being on a different tyre strat. Catching Bottas in Russia being the notable exception. The car that's quicker in the corners is more affected by front deg because fronts are crucial in extracting its laptime and are pushed more, whereas the car with better top speed doesn't lose a massive amount of laptime due to front deg.
That applied to all the cars. Recently re watched the 2021 season and both Max and Lewis were stuck behind the McLaren cars in the Monza race. They couldn't get past for the entire firsts stint. And of course that is why they had to put Max and that famous collision happend. The same in Sochi when Hamilton was stuck behind Norris for 20 laps and Lando would have won if the rain didn't come. It's was just harder to follow in those cars with the dirty air without a huge pace deficit.
i kind of stopped watching F1 after 2016 until 2021. so im not sure if this was an actual thing during those years. but technically a car that has higher downforce (being faster in turns, but slower on the straights) has lower degradation of the tires in the turns because you slide less. unless the mercedes willingly backed off during turns and made that time back on the straights. that wouldnt be a car characteristic but a driver tactic though.
I do the same in F1 games! Bet I can become a F1 champion any time soon!
I love downshift sound in this RB so much
I have rarely seen Lewis being aggressive during starts. Aggressive in the sense risking dnf for a couple of positions whereas the likes of max and Alonso would absolutely go if there is even a slight chance. It’s just their driving style it seems.

damn that reaction time!!!!!
I want to point out that Hamilton was pretty aggressive back in the day. Yes, those crazy “crash or pass” moves.
No he wasn't, this is something people, who clearly havent watched Hamilton from the beginning his career, say to justify Max's style of overtaking.
In his first *4* seasons on the grid, Hamilton was deemed at fault for 4 incidents ONLY (including a stupid one for "illegally" overtaking Kimi at Spa). Now compare this to Max's first 4 seasons... I'm not going to bother it's a night-and-day difference and to be fair to Verstappen that's to be expected, he got thrown into F1 at *16* , jumping from F3 to F1. Only a robot could make fewer errors in the same time period.
Max is in his 9th year, even if you go season-by-season, Hamilton's been cleaner and not pulled off similar moves. In fact, Hamilton's only poor season, in terms of being over agressive and causing collisions, was '11, after that season he went back to normal.

Also this is one of the reasons Hamilton took the escape route in Abu Dhabi on lap 1. Since they were level on points and Max was ahead in the standings and he definitely didnt mind a DNF. Also Max thinks the rule giving a car's width of space to others doesnt apply to him. He did the same in Brazil. Kept pushing Lewis out.
I'm not super attuned to the history and complexities of why the racing rules they way that they are, and I used to think the same as you, but the rules actually give favor to the car on the inside line, and that car does not have to leave space for the car on the outside. The outside car is expected to back off because the inside like car cannot possibly make the corner while leaving space. Check out 2021 Imola that F1 posted on their CZcams channel. They actually discuss this exact scenario and how the rule favors the inside line, so given this, whether we believe it's fair or not, it's just strange how Lewis chose to not take that line and defend in these instances.
No because he did exactly the same thing with sainz at AD one year later
Max races within the rules, you should really read up on them.
Lewis can't get 'pushed off' and cut the entire corner off, gain about a second ahead of max, and then get no repercussions for it. I guess losing the WDC was the repercussion.
@PurelyPog max pushed hin wide 🤡 just like he did inin Brazil Italy Spain Jeddah with no repercussions. Lewis won in 2021
Thats some dangerous driving man
Ye by stupid max
It's not a guess, the faster side of the track with the most grip that opens up turn 1 is from the racing line, which Lewis started from... Max came left to open turn 1. It was smart.
Unfortunately as people know from karting, the fastest line isn't the best through the first corner at the start of the race, for the reason that Max demonstrates. You have to take a slower but more defensive line
He watched too many Senna videos
Driving styles aside, this crash will always be remembered as the day Toto Wolff changed his opinion about the Halo. Prior to this accident, he hated the Halo so much he was willing to cut it off with a chainsaw.
lmao, you think toto saw the spa crash with alonso and leclerc in i believe 2018, magnussen in bahrain and thought: "yeah still dont like it"
Respect to Sir Lewis for driving cleanly. These cars can be seriously dangerous and it was lucky that Sir Lewis wasn’t injured when Max’s car parked on top of the Merc.
Cleanly? 😅😂😂😂
@@mmartijn78 I take it you weren’t paying attention to the video. Sir Lewis backed out multiple times to avoid a collision. If it wasn’t for the halo Max would have snapped Sir Lewis’ neck and we’d be mourning another avoidable death in Motorsport.
@@sunizzoF1 used to be an battling arena. The posibility of dying has always been there and been accepted by the drivers. And cheered on for by fans.
Now all fans favouring certain drivers want to see is "safe driving". If you want to stay safe then just stay home.
Max is an Alpha knowing danger lurks in every corner.
The one who backs out , loses.
Lewis was a Senna fan he always claims , yet it is Max driving like Senna.
chess more your game .....
@@vennemans9113 This is the type of language that gets people killed/seriously injured. You can drive safely and be still be a fierce competitor, but Max fans can't seem to understand that.
That button behind Lewis steering wheel, on the left. Always giving extra power to accelerate
Classic verstappen the fact that he complains when russell and lewis do the same to him in Baku and Australia is even funnier
I din't see verstappen make a whole in another car did you?
You mean classic Verstappen… making Lewis his bitch repeatedly.
He complains when someone crashes into him, both Russel and Lewis do this, they always have been doing this which is why you only see it when verstappen does this
No, Max complains when they hit him, also Max is on the inside line and hitting the Apex which is something George didn't do in Baku.
@@hoya1178 so you are not allowed to complain when someone hits you? Is that the 'strong' argument you're making?
In the first 2 Lewis just leaves the door open, there is nothing wrong with them.
Also, these are with 2021 cars, dirty air had massive impact on these cars so leading the first lap was extra important, so he had to take more risks.
spain i agree, but imola was just too aggressive and in the wet, plus no real run off outside of the curb i think max pushed the limits and should have gotten a penalty
@@maxshefras2752 but imola is where he had a great drive off the line to be noticeably in front of Hamilton even before the braking point. the corner could well be argued to be his already, depending on which precedents or subsequent cases you refer to as a standard of judgement.
@@maxshefras2752 i think its the oposite, in spain he was way behind wheras in imola he was in front at the apex
@@huwillysh i disagree, he had a great launch, but by the breaking point they are effectively side by side, both of them are obligated to leave room. and max knocked lewis onto the curbs which killed his speed and gave max a noticeable gap aswell.
if there was a smooth run off i wouldn’t mind it, as hamilton could keep his speed and momentum and fight back
@@huwillysh that’s really my problem with it, not the squeeze but also the fact that it gave verstappen track advantage and a 1 second lead
"That's some dangerous driving."
Lewis, great driver had become use to having a great advantage on the starts and getting out of the DRS on the beginning laps.
Max knew that there was no way for him to otherwise win the championship in a slower car in 2021. I am surprised that no one does those divebombs versus him these days. It also has to be said that he drives extremely cautiously in the early laps.
RB was not slower car. In some races it was superior to mercedes
RB did not have a slower car in 2021.
RB was rocket due to its balance. Adrian Newey told everyone.
@@oransjball source? You clown
@@oransjball RB is slower than Mercedes in some track and vice versa
All the time was Lewis lifting the foot up to max, but when he didn't, he and his fans started to whine about Lewis being aggressive
Cant remember max putting lewis into a wall
Exactly what he’s talking about. 🥱
@@guilhermestringheta2902 No, he did worse, Max planted his tire right on top of Lewis's head.
@@guilhermestringheta2902 ofc course not because lewis isnt as dense to not back off, hes mature hes older so hell be submissive if its too risky, max on the other hand is a mad dog who will not back off at the cost of going to the hospital so theres that buddy
@@Sam-dk7zl Congrats, one of the absolute dumbest comments in a comment section filled to the brim with ridiculously stupid Hamilton simps that think he can do no wrong, do better, idiot.
They had to fight with this young bull. He still had a lot to learn and his horns to blunt, but his talent is incomparable
AD 2021: Leonidas' spear didn't just miss Xerxes that day, it hit him square in the heart.
High risk and high rewards.
Silverstone or Imola. Both are racers and they are on top of their game
Its like he’s not changed his racing style since the karting days, because in karting this is exactly how it is, and everyone accepts it, that if you are on the outside you have to back out or else you get bumped off the track.
Exactly, and then he has the nerve to complain when Russell does the same to him in Baku and also explains it in karting terms.
But unfortunately this is f1 and not karting 🤷🏼♂️ you can’t just go around ramming people off track - if you want that, watch NASCAR
Crashstappen fan clueless
he has changed, quite a lot and if you look at how 2021 with Lewis went, with 2022 before Ferrari decided to torpedo themselves out of the fight, there were no crashes, but Leclerc still could fight Verstappen on equal footing driving wise (until like i said Ferrari torpedoed that chance) 2021 problems came from the two drivers, not just Max.
Rules for overtaking have been changed since 2022. So this driving style isn't legal anymore. That's why Verstappen complained against Russell.
this really puts his words into perspactive what he said to russell in baku. like does he think people so dumb they forgot about his stuff?
Beautiful
Very clever tbf, he knew that the merc had a slight pace advantage on average so track position was so important. Pretty much put Lewis between a rock and a hard place because he either looses position or gets hit.
They didn't have a pace advantage, but sure I guess
the redbull was faster that season thats what adrian newey said. lewis just couldnt always be the clean driver because he would always lose lose.
on average over a whole season is a retarded stat, rb definitely the edge of merc in the beginning, the stat only says otherwise because of the speed mec brought with their new engine lol
@@Yes-vh7lm mercedes was much faster in spain and portugal for some reason go watch those races back and tell me they didnt have a better car
@@Ronline26 track specific. If you've watched the whole season RB was slightly faster than the merc, it was actually quite surprising.
senna & schumacher mentality, and i love it
nah they were dirty drivers fuck em
Ya, crash them out if u can't beat them....🤦♂️
fun and thrilling to watch just like senna & schumacher 🤷♂️
Look at those Crymilton fans... literally no life at all after Abu Dhabi 2021, just hating on Max on every possible video 😂
@@rameshg878"Crash them out if you can't beat them"? Isn't that EXACTLY what Mercedes did to RB to keep themselves fighting in the championship? 😂
Max “i go first or we both dnf” verstappen
I believe racing lines are there for something, the penalty comes when you make an aggressive move out of the racing line, which is what you're ought to defend. The drs is there to overcome the disadvantage of not being able to overtake in case the defender sticks to the racing line strictly. Again, this is just again, correct me if I'm wrong
This was the moment I knew Max would win the championship. He wasn't messing around he was willing to do these crazy moves
Imo he was kinda dirty most of the time, but I agree that he has better aggression than Hamilton.
@@dano100nohe drives exactly like Senna though, yet many fans consider Senna one of the greatest drivers to ever grace the sport.
hamilton always backed out after silverstone he just couldn't continue or he will lose . the brazil situation was crazy where verstepan pushed him off the entire track and massi did nothing. he passed 19 cars without an incident only max
@@jasperli I think most people who say Max drove like Senna haven't actually watched Senna drive. They see that both were agressive and performed similar "suicidal" overtakes so conclude they were similar drivers.
@@jasperli Lewis does to, senna his biggest fan.... so i think he has to be an big fan of max😂
Crashtappen has done this not only to Hamilton, but also to many more including Riccardo, Vettel, Kimi etc. But he started crying when Russell gave him back his own medicine.
Yeah and now Cry
Get educated,then you can start a civil discussion!!
Look at youre opening!!!
@@SDGRTX1455 clownstappen 🤡 fan bruh
oh please be original and try to think for yourself. Please tell me when was the last time he crashed? go back to watching dts, and try to cope a little more.
You do realize that Hamilton made contact with most of the field last year?
The Mercedes was the better race car in Spain 2021. The issue was track position meant a lot more in the previous regulations. You needed either a significant tire advantage or just outright significant pace advantage to overtake, which is what happened at the end of the race with Merc doing the obvious strategy given their driver couldn’t overtake on track on the same strategy with a faster car.
Verstappens move is completely justified. He made Mercedes earn the win. Lewis left the door open and Max ran down the inside to take the lead.
If Verstappen doesn’t lead at this point, it’s another lights to flag win for Hamilton.
This is unlike Silverstone where Lewis had an acre of space to drive into but still drove into Max and celebrated like he had basically solved cancer.
Right guy won the title. He was a step ahead of Hamilton the entire year.
Tell me you didn't watch and understand the video without telling me you didn't watch and understand the video. Clown.
@THM2008 tell me you have no racing experience.
I'm a pro sim racer and unlike you idiots, I actually know racing.
@@THM2008 Yet he was right on every point lmaoo
no because lewis verified max was ok before celebrating@@folkert2938
I think it is genius. Max goes for risky moves because he has nothing to lose. There are 2 outcomes first is they crash so they both have 0 points. Second is Max leads the race which means his strategy worked.
Genius. The guy who overtook charles on the straight in bahrain in 2022 twice and did not learn. Hes an idiot
This has nothing to do with beeing a "genius" it's just a typical verstappen beeing the arsehole he is. Imagine everyone drives like that. There is a reasong why this clown is one of the least respected drivers across motorsports.
Hamilton had the faster car, Max still bossed him. Plus in both Max had Spain and Emola had inside line and Hamilton never tried to cover it thinking since he had faster car will overtake him anyhow irrespective of first corner. Max was SuperMax in 2021.
@@rakeshbhartipangotra8224 You are just straight up delusional. If lewis wouldn't back off, or he would've done the same to max, like in monza, yall would have gone insane
Baby crystappen
Everybody in any other battle with any other drivers: Let them race 💪🏼
“You always have to leave space”😂😂😂
Show him this and ask what “space” means😅
its hard racing when he does, but illegal dirty moves every time its a mercedes :D
😅😅😅
Back in the day this was called a dive-bomb. Now for some reason we call it reckless driving just because of the driver.
you don't understand what dive bomb means do you?
I do very well.
The inside line has always the advantage
As much as I love seeing Hamilton lose (only because of his dominance), I can't believe it's acceptable to run a driver off of the road just because you have the inside line. If someone is significantly along side than space should be left.
I think hamilton net defending the inside of 1 makes sesnse because he probably wasn't expecting verstappen to go as deep and then he would have had the inside line for turn 2 which followed right after
Whenever max gets a taste of his own medicine he then immediately cries to his manager. Weird how that works.
That is streight up dq worthy.
I don't get what is wrong with the imola one....max was clearly ahead before the corner, lewis made it a difficult situation by also braking pretty late trying to go on the outside of max while max closed the door which was completely okay
Add this to the long list of times where Lewis didn't defend the inside line and lost out
Lewis seems like he does not care at least until Austin 2021,sometimes he defends the inside line sometimes he doesnt and gets a P2 and be like great job guys onto the next one😀
Play that video where Hamilton hits the right rear of 6 redbull cars and they all spin out
did we see the same video? are people actually willing to just ignore max driving him off the track? max fans cried so hard during brazil 2021 for lewis "not respecting max's corner" but when max drives hamilton off its due to hamilton's imcompetence in defending... what a joke
@@sean-pl3us actually lewis did not defend the inside here but it was for a reason-to give bottas the slipstream
@@sean-pl3us not sure what you're on about with Brazil 2021, I assume you're referring to T4 where Max pushed him off track. In which case most Max fans will agree that he should have received a penalty there. Going back to this video though, what I commented is 100% accurate, there's countless times where Lewis should have defended the inside but didn't, which allows Max to be aggressive and chuck it up the inside. Lewis is known for taking wide lines and not defending the inside. And it aligns with how the Merc used to be designed, long wheel base, straight line speed etc. Here are some examples I can think of; Spain 2021, Imola 2021, Abu Dhabi 2021 I could go on
It was funny to see Max spit hes dummy out and throw hes toys out the pram when Russell done exactly the same sort of move on him in the Baku 23 sprint race...
Everybody knows crashstappen! Hamilton is a clean respectful driver.
they both nearly killed each other they both aren't clean.

how can you defend a guy who just divebombs like that lil bro
@@onnikoivusalo4917 Tbh lewis does this a lot too, hes just more carefull with max. Most of the greats, such as lewis and max themselves, drive/drove this way. Make others scared of you, cause thats how u win.
@@onnikoivusalo4917By taking inside line 😮
Hamilton when not in a car two seconds faster than the rest of the field.
@Onni Koivusalo just block the line BEFORE the corner. Look at Leclerc doing the same a year later and preventing the overtake
I still think the halo is stupid looking but it's life saving ability is without doubt
Great overtake
Claramente os pilotos mais experientes são mais defensivos, pois já passaram por situações complicadas e aquilo acabou se transformando em uma espécie de prudência ou um medo inconsciente. Pilotos menos experientes (ainda) não passaram por situações onde poderia literalmente ter custado a vida, não enxergam o perigo em uma manobra dessas, e então atacam arriscando tudo.
This is not racing; leave a car’s width and fight fairly. FIA needs to re-establish that precedent.
In Imola Lewis was ahead in t2, Max did not leave him room, forcing Lewis on the bumps
In Monza Lewis was ahead in t2, Max pushed on
racing inshident
I like Max’s aggression sometimes but it’s annoying how drivers nowadays push people off even though they are fully alongside
@@bogdanconstantin5911 Yet max got a punishment in monza, fia inconsistency at display
@@Jonathan-mj1oe Yes IMO Max is at fault for Imola and Lewis for Monza. Once someone is alongside you, you can’t just pinch them off the track, especially if it’s sausage curbs and gravel on the outside and not paved runoff

i have re-uploaded this video on my tube.
If you have any problem with that just let me know i will remove it.
cheers.
Max is ahead at the apex and on the inside, he's allowed to do that. It's his corner at that point. Almost every driver does this... Monza is a completely seperate issue because he isn't ahead. Decide for yourself who is wrong in that scenario, they both could've done things better there imo.
average F1 fans debates in comments section be like:
Yall yappin, they're both 2 amazingly talented racing drivers.
2:45- the car further back and on the outside kind of has to back off, do they not? What was the purpose of that other than causing an accident?
