Max Verstappen vs Sergio Perez - F1 2023 Bahrain GP Qualifying Comparison

An animation comparing Max and Checo at the Bahrain GP. Checo was pretty much with Max the whole way around. But he pushed too hard going into T14, and quickly lost most of the time there. Still, the difference is just over a tenth. Hopefully close qualifyings keep coming this season! 🤩
p.s. Thank you to those who suggested colour coding the graphics!

Max is much more aggressive on the corner exit. It looks like Perez is going faster at times, but Max is just braking sooner into the corners so he can get back on the throttle.

[@crabnix]

Max's line is always slow in fast out. And he also always squares out the corner whenever possible.

[@maze4184]

its nice to see that perez can now hold up and even surpass verstappen on some corners, they both can still learn from eachother

[@posamount2816]

@@JackAubreyy actually max does have alot to learn from checo, as does checo to max. you saying this proves to me again you are just a 2021 watcher who thinks max is the best that existed

Checo asks more of the tyre thats why Max was faster out of the last corner.

In terms of car setup, yes.

Wow, this video is amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to create such an informative and engaging piece of content.
Keep up the great work. I can’t wait to see what other videos you have in store.

[@duraab27]

The last two corners I think Checo threw too much speed into the corner entry, and thus compromised his exit, losing him that 1.5 tenths. Otherwise, it seems like both cars are balanced and both drivers can equally fight each other.

[@PepeGonzales-he3zy]

What about now?

[@duraab27]

@@PepeGonzales-he3zy he's psychologically weak. Hence his huge disadvantage.

[@amangeorge9821]

Max breaks early for better exits...checo brakes lates for taking corners faster..different styles still very close...rest of season could be really exciting

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

Not really, makes feel for variables will always makes the difference over a season.

[@egot]

I want to see Lando norris vs Logan sargeant i think it was during q1 to q2? I heard that they had 0.000 seconds inbetween/same times

[@ForzaPolska06]

Maybe you will do that every weekend?
It would keep your channel alive somewhat

[@juzh1238]

next level comparison. epic job

[@OutspokenMarket]

It is very clear from it that the driver and its driving stile makes the difference.

[@LukeVesty]

Very cool. Sometimes tricky to tell who was who with the overlap. Could maybe make each car shaded in a different colour slightly. Love the video though!

[@DavidCaddock]

One of the best channels just got better

[@T0NYMANUEL]

This is soo good 👍👌

[@csqauredcoasters803]

The way Max uses every centimeter of the track is just incredible

@F1 UNFILTERED, can you upload the team radios of the race of GP Bahrain, please?

[@paulvannoordwyk8968]

Damn this is amazing, thank you

[@clister.]

I miss your radio-chat video man

[@antuanf1]

Wow last sector and only one curve decided

[@Drrolfski]

Without the camera being yellow on the second car it's almost impossible to see who is who.

[@dermax_hd]

Almost looks like Max's car was faster on the straights while the corner exits were about the same no? is there really a difference in the cars? them shifting better maybe or why is that?

[@T0NYMANUEL]

Perez put too much speed exiting the corner so he couldn't get on the throttle as fast as Max who exited the corner slower so he could slam the throttle and gain more speed

[@egot]

Wow

[@youtubehalo_mas_maul]

So they have diffrent engine power capactiy.
Max more powerfull a bit than checo.
But checo can cover it up so well.

[@uioverhaul]

Is Verstappen cheating? What I don't understand is that seeing this video, it is clear that Perez is pretty much head to head with Verstappen. How could it be that Verstappen was all of a sudden so much faster in Bahrain this Sunday? I just don't get it.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

Because Max's inputs shine when there's variables, just like Hamilton and Leclerc.
Their feeling for the tires as well as the way they balance their cars makes them extremely difficult to follow, due to their ultimate consistency.

[@t7000]

Perez doesn't know how to change gears on the line? He was overtaken on the straights by MAX. hahahaha, only idiots believe that.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

It has nothing to do with a change of gears, it has to do with the way they approach corner's exit.
Max's brakes generally a bit early (that gives him micro-seconds that allows him to understand how his car is balanced), carries the speed by making the rears rotate, that allows him to floor the throttle earlier, a bit like Raikkonen and Schumacher.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

On the last couple of races, Chéco tried lower drag set up and it got even worse
