No thanks. I was immensely pissed to see you guys promoting a drink. Which is totally irrelevant and I get all the humour. But you guys ended up looking like looney toons. I feel bad for your girlfriends. If you have any
The code sadly doesn’t work in Germany 😒
Maybe you can talk to yfood to expand the deal internationally
Thanks
No thanks. I pay for YT premium and i still have to sit through this crap.

an adread short than the average stake pitstop
I really hope sainz doesn’t go that trash bin of a sauber
In 2 years it will be audi
@@ivanmajetic6155will it be any better? The engine could be trash.
@@ivanmajetic6155 Yeah, and it'll be an Audi trash bin.
That team cant even do pitstops properly, but when they shift to Audi, this could be worth a gamble, but a risky gamble for Sainz. Who knows if they pull a Mercedes 2014.
and then it takes 2 years for them to develop a decent car. Impossible to build a champion winning car straight from the start. It will either flop massively or take forever.@@ivanmajetic6155
My theory. Stake's green is so bright it temporarily blinds the mechanics at the pitstops
I actually think this is actually it the wheels have the green on them too, visibly distracting

I’ve been a Carlos fan since he was Max’s teammate. Im ecstatic that he’s getting the recognition for being an exceptionally well rounded driver, and not just well rounded.

I think Aston Martin will be the best option for Carlos because that's the only team he can finally be a number 1 driver
younger Spaniard #1 driver in the presence of Elder Spaniard ?
@@UrgrannytrannyAlonso would probably leave in this scenario.
@@Urgrannytranny Lance is never leaving Aston
He is winning races at Ferrari even though he is number 2
He was #1 at mclaren...
Going to Red Bull makes the most sense from RB perspective and from Carlos perspective.
Exactly.
I disagree. They’ve already had problems with their two dads as well as the fact that Max and Carlos preferences are extremely different. Even if Carlos is adaptable, I still think that he will struggle with such an extreme car and it’s better if he lays the foundation of a team around him. I’d like to see him at Ashton and Fernando to Mercedes
@@Snazzy16Go to Aston and struggle for a top5 finish? At least at RB he'd fight for Wins and Podiums.
@@bored_grape I disagree again. I think he would want to state himself as a number 1 driver. And again I think he’ll struggle with a hugely oversteery car. Ashton Martin I think could improve and it would be best to state himself as number 1 and build a team around him like lando, George, Charles, or max
@@Snazzy16Alonso is finished
He would get SCHOOLED by russell😂😂😂
IF. Fernando goes to Red Bull. Time to spend my life's savings to watch a race live.
If he goes to a mid table team it would be disrespectful
How would it be disrespectful? Do you think kicking someone else out of their seat is disrespectful to whoever it will be? If Red Bull, will that be disrespect to Perez? Of course not. This is a business and all the drivers know this. I think Sainz is a good driver, a little above average for an F1 driver but pretty close to average. The statistics don't lie! That being said, I really like Sainz and hope he does get a seat for 2025. I personally think Sainz and Bearman may go to HAAS.
@@u2zero2u you gotta be slow, expect max who's won a race in the past season and now educate yourself or don't comment
@@u2zero2u and too comment Perez to compare you must not watch f1
@@u2zero2ui agree with you up to where you said he was a slightly above average driver. He has showed that his skill levels are near/level with leclerc. Not at the very top but certainly a top level driver
Idk but he IS getting a seat. This man is too talented to not be driving for a top team. He'd be my #1 choice honestly. Proven he can switch teams and perform (torro rosso to renault, to mclaren and then ferrari). He's experienced and commited, but still young and talented enough to actually win races. I've always like Carlos, but he's easily becoming one of my favorite drivers and im not even a ferrari fan.
Also props to Tommy wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins sweater
Kimi Antonelli needs to show something in F2. "I move up the rankings only if people in front of me crash" isn't proving anything to anyone.
If he can't do that in this year, he must stay in F2 in 2025. Am I right?
@@RadityaPramanaPutra2001yup
@@Aaron-wy8wo Alright. 👍
give him another year and he will be a lot better in f2. he skipped f3 and it is his first year in f2, no one should be expecting him to win races
@@pepprrr_cl16I agree, but he was being hyped as the next Max, and that he was READY for the Mercedes seat NOW, and that F2 was just a formality. I'm saying that when you race the REGIONAL series and look good, that might not mean anything. This is the first time he's been in a series with ALL good drivers. You can compare it to being the best player on your neighborhood soccer(football) team. Then you go to college and suddenly EVERYONE is at least as good as you.
Antonelli isn’t lighting up F2 right now, putting him in the Mercedes would be a massive gamble.
I think one or two years at Williams would be good
It is his first year. Give him chance.
Based on this video, there's like a 300% chance that Sainz is on the grid next year. Probbably gonna be driving for multiple teams!
In alternating weekends. Plus test driver for another team 👌
Dont forget the simulators
Carlos is one of those drivers that everyone loves. Regardless of where he ends up we'll be blessed to see him drive for whomever. But it'll be Redbull lol
I've never liked him
Well everyone likes him except @Mattipazz0 lol. Curious to who you like?
@@mendo707savmrb8 I like Chuck
Hoping for Sainz in Redbull
I'd love to see him at RedBull personally, feels like a nice story coming full circle. But Mercedes probably makes the most sense.
I think the right move is Sainz to Red Bull, Alonso to Mercedes. But it'll probably be the other way around. Either way, silly season is going to go hard this year.
I don't understand why there seems to be an assumption that Audi is going to be decent in 2026. Frankly, it seems like nothing is known except for the fact that it'll be a combined works team with an in-house engine. Will that engine be any good? Does the rest of the project show any promise? I think that no one really knows. And Carlos can't just put his all his eggs in an unclear basket - especially after proving how valuable his eggs really are.
Nothing against them but Audi is giving me major Toyota vibes. All the top brains (and most of the top drivers) in F1 are locked up with other teams so unless they have some genius aerodynamic people from WEC that can outdesign the best in F1 there is going to be a long learning curve.
No disrespect, I like Sainz as well but he is a little above average if not just an average F1 driver. Before anyone gets upset, I mean that I think he is about the 7th or 8th best driver on the grid. In my opinion, Max, Hamilton, Leclerc, lando, Russell and Alonso are better than Sainz making him a little above average which is still great. I think Sainz and Gasly are about equal skill wise. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sainz and Bearman at HAAS next year unless their is a contract that won't allow this to happen. Nevertheless, I would LOVE to see Sainz win the championship this year. Hopefully Ferrari can make some improvements quickly to allow them to challenge Red Bull but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Have a good day everyone.
Thanks, I couldn't agree more. 2036 is going to shake things up considerably. Yes, Audi have money, and experience, but there's a limit to what they can spend with the cost and capex caps. If we were compare to Aston, who are similar imo as it was a struggling team (Force India) bought by a rich backer with big ambitions, Aston are (i) several years ahead on the investment front, (ii) have a proven winning engine manufacturer joining as works partner and (iii) already have poached a load of top engineers to work in their UK based operation that makes further recruitment much easier than it's going to be for a team in Switzerland.
they aren't going to be on the grid in 2026. there will be an announcement halfway through 2025 that Audi will not enter F1 and it will be because looked around and said wait a minute it's going to cost how much every year to run this thing? and we're just gonna run around at the back for any realistically foreseeable future?? why are we doing this again???? and poof they're going to Keyser Soze everybody
What I love about this is that Carlos keeps being this perfect yard stick to judge other drivers. So yeh put him next to GR or MV and we get to compare them to CL and LN 😊
I think a lot of teams will use 2025 as a "get to know the team" kind of year before the regulation changes in 2026.
Its perfect to put a new guy in the seat in 2025 so that they can get used to the team, how they work and get all the kinks out so you don't have to deal with that in 2026 on top of a new car as well.
Carlos has been in 4 different teams in F1 since 2015 and has won 3 races!
All with Ferrari
🐎
Carlos is so charismatic. He gets underrated. Glad to see him getting more widely recognized recently.
One thing we should take into account is that there maybe just weren't that many exciting prospects for RB's Checo seat last year. Like, maybe there was an option there with Yuki, and getting Lawson in there, but Checo ended up doing well enough that it really wasn't worth the stir. Carlos, however, is probably the best free agent since... I don't even know. RB is crazy if they don't jump at the chance imo.
My predicted changes if things keep going how they're going:
Checo is out, replaced by Carlos. Lewis obviously goes to Ferrari, but his seat ar Merc is filled by - wildcard! - Alex Albon. Antonelli will take the Russell route, trying out at Williams before Merc tries to move him up. Sargeant miiight be out - Williams would then take someone like Checo (if he's eager to stay in F1), to balance out Antonelli's inexperience. Final change is at the Racing Bulls, at this rate it's unreasonable to leave Danny Ric in the seat when you've got Lawson waiting in the wings.

Sainz should go to Red Bull. Back with his old teammate and in a great car
Always have to worry about people who say that the car is developed around the driver. They develop a car that is as fast as possible in both corners and straights. During the race everyone uses their own setup.
I want Hulkenberg in the red bull, he deserves it. I just want that deserved hulk podium
I think that red bull is going to approach sainz as perez is not securing those points when max isnt dominating the race. So it seems like a valid option that red bull would want to get a reliable driver who could show up when max is off weather (which is highly unlikely) and can also challenge max frequently.
But is Sainz gonna accept p2?
Reading out promo material is beautiful. You go guys!!
I think Red Bull is the most likely. Red Bull need a driver more competitive than Perez to be there to get the win when max isn’t. Checo should have got a podium at least last weekend when max DNF’d. Sainz would be there to pick up the points consistently and help Red Bull stay ahead even if the other teams close the gap.
Imo it's not very likely. Verstappen sr. and Sainz sr. do not get along very well and I doubt redbull would want a driver to challenge Max.
Also don't see a reason to let Perez go
@@Leon-jx8wc Yup. There was too much drama between the old men last time they were both on the same team.
@tttimok I agree completely also because the stakes are raised next year.
Red Bull will be competing against a Lewis/Charles team and a Lando/Oscar team.
I’d be really surprised if Christian/Helmut aren’t looking at Melbourne results and thinking Carlos would be a better driver for them for next years rivalry?
Checo has done them proud but next year, not so sure he can keep up, he may even let them down this year.
if they were going to get rid of checo they would've done it already, especially after supposedly crashing in monaco quali on purpose.
Checo will stay another year, I expect Lawson to have his proper debut at RB he will impress and get called up to replace Checo in 2026.
I could see Sainz spending a year or two at Mercedes before going to Audi when Antonelli comes up. That way he gets a decent team until the new regs and Mercedes get someone who could move on when needed.
I could see Mercedes wanting Alonso for that time period. Sainz to Aston seems like the better landing spot if he doesn’t got to Red Bull. Forget Sauber that’s a dumpster fire.
Sainz and Russel are both "that will do" set up drivers and could complement each other.
You guys should have rated the possible teams by percentages adding up to 100 in the end, would be better than randomly giving a lot of chances to every them, that way both of you would have a clear winner.
Nobody in the top or mid field will ever go to a bottom team unless its their only option to stay in F1.
I think one thing Matt doesn't want to hear... but if Sainz has a season with 3-4+ race wins and is clear of Leclerc by some number (let's say 100) of points, and Leclerc has 0 wins all season, Leclerc will lose his seat with Hamilton coming in and either be reserve or have his contract bought out.
I think there is a realistic chance of this than Carlos going to Red bull
(Ferrari) Leclerc could have a problem, if Sainz end ahead of him this seasone and if Hamilton also end ahead, for just a few points, Leclerc is finished.
Really? Sounds far fetched
If he comes to Redbull and can compete with Max that will be real Redemption.. DTS will go crazy..
That pens sweater is siiiiiick
I see Carlos driving the RB21 for '25, either filling in for Checo or the departed Max. But I lean more towards the possibility of Checo not getting a renewal, since for Max to depart from RBR will rely heavily on the escalation of the RBR higher-ups' internal conflict.
if he go to sauber i wil really feel bad for him HE DESERVE BETTER especially during these 3 or 4 year he is at his prime now
Didn't expect Yoda to open the video.
I like that for this season you are playing with the video intros
Okay this may sound crazy but i think Nico Hulkenberg can be a really good choice for Mercedes in 2025, is very consistent, is a bit aged but will be happy with a 1 year contract and has lots of experience with him.
As a Pittsburgh Penguins and a F1 fan- Tom’s sweatshirt is everything!
😂😂😂
This should be the top comment.
Matt and Tommy, please come to a race in America again, and do a show in U.S. too, you know we love you both here too! Your meetup in Vegas should be proof enough!!
5:00 Kimi gonna be f1 ready in like 2 or even 3 years or maybe even never who knows
The return of the Tommy's Pittsburgh Penguins sweatshirt! Unfortunatly the team is doing as well as Alpine at the moment.
Love the Penguins sweatshirts!!
I’d love nothing more than to see Sainz do a Rosberg against Max in the Red Bull
Had to replay that intro just to make sure I heard it right 😂
The numbers not adding up to 100% triggers me massively. Also I think that unless Verstappen goes to Mercedes, Sainz should go there
I love that the kick pitstops keep getting longer everytime theyre mentioned lol
Tommy, that Penguins sweater is 🤌🤌
Going back to Red Bull would be stupid and will end quite bad. Unless max leaves.
The intro...
order word weird
I can't wrap my head around it!
I completely not understand at first until the right order word was showed.
Tommy nailed it
That intro had me in yoda-land 😂😂😂😂 love it!
I think most people want carlos in RB for just the utter chaos it would be to see Jos and Sainz sr in the same garage
Everybody keeps talking about checos great start, but he had a great start last year too. I hope he does well but I’m not convinced yet that he will keep his seat for 2025
“A bit like you Tommy!” 😂😂
Mercedies and Red Bull are the most likely options. Aston are also a distinct possibility depending on what Alonso does and what they can convince him about their future development prospects
“Sergio has had a very good start to the year.” Has he? He has done the bare minimum.
I just hope the whatever plays out is as exciting as the all this speculation!
Tom wearing a penguin shirt is a great sight to see!
For merc quick fix, i think its more possible to be alonso. At most he'll got 3-4 years left (quite sad but yeah). On that time frame merc could improve its car and to settle on the new regulations with an input of junior driver like alonso, and to prepare the replacement. It'll be like when they first start f1with the help of schumacher to get an input from an experienced driver that sainz for now lacks compared to alonso.
Smooth like butter
You too pushing products ishilarious ! Haha! Reminds me of The Price is Right without the high heels !
Sainz to Red Bull
Perez to Aston Martin
Stroll to … Canada?
That would be awesome
I Love Tommy's pullover 😁
That into hurt my head
Tommy wearing a penguins sweater was not on my bingo card. lets go pens!
Literally thought I was having a stroke for the first 5 seconds
If Aston already completed their WEC entry car, Lawrence could give that seat to Lance. It would open up the F1 seat perfectly. 😁
I thought that there's sad face drew on Oscar's helmet but it's just lights reflecting
I've heard he's moving to Prema and INDYCar. 😊
Where does he go? Scuderia Ferrari. Tear up Sir Lewis contract and keep our dynamic duo!!
@JohnnyLREACTS Too late, Not gonna happen, Ferrari will make money on LH
i wish
That's not how reputable companies act, Carlos is not a better or a worse driver than he was a couple months ago when they decided not to re-sign him. Also, can you imagine the brutal costs of such a breach of contract for Ferrari?
What if Charles keeps making mistakes at critical moments, and Carlos regularly outperforms him and is more reliable?
Then maybe they could tear up Charles' contract and have Lewis+Carlos in the cars?
@@Rob2 Of course they won't do that, Charles signed till 2028 not so long ago. He would need to be crashing race in race out for Ferrari to even consider that.
On a side note maybe we shouldn't be hyping up the 2026 regulations. The power unit development will still be limited, the fuel allowance is going down and the electrical system is the same configuration for everyone so aerodynamics will still be of primary importance meaning that the chance of Audi for example coming in with an overpowered engine and out drag racing the field is basically 0. There is also very little chance that Ferrari and Red Bull and Mercedes are all going to get the aero concept wrong while simultaneously Williams or Haas are going to come up with an exploit that has them winning races.
The 2026 regs, especially from the PU side, are going to absolutely ruin F1 and no one is talking about it. Probably because most F1 fans and commentators don’t understand the engineering side in the slightest therefore are blind to the blatant issues that are bound to arise.
@@-._.-._.-Sully-._.-._.- I agree. When you read through the regs, which I recommend everyone do, it's basically less fuel (70 kg instead of 100 kg), less energy recovery and the same battery capacity with no ability to develop the motor or battery technology at all. The electric motor is much bigger at 350 KW so that the media can say "1,000 HP" but that amount of power is only available for a maximum of 10s per lap. 90% of the race they will have 450-500 HP available at most. Lower power cars could be fun (if they were smaller and lighter) but not with $100 M of aerodynamics on them.
@@fallenshallrise yeah most people just listen to the bullet points F1 puts out to make the regs not sound as bad as they are. The significant reduction of average hp output and increase in weight is despicable for the “pinnacle of motorsport”. I’ve typed whole essays on the specifics of the regs and why they won’t work on YT videos covering the topic only for people to say “oh you must be a Redbull fan and are just scared bc you’re behind in the PU development” despite me being a Mercedes fan who are supposedly* the furthest ahead.
Maybe Aston Martin would be awesome with Alsono
I hope he goes to Aston Martin, either to replace Alonso or to pair him. AM would be a brilliant project for Sainz as he can take the number 1 driver role and step into a competitive car immediately, unlike Audi. Also, Papa Stroll has huge expectations of that team and they've been signing some really key staff members from the likes of Red Bull. I think with their own Honda engine, Sainz could do huge things at Aston in 2026 and beyond
haven't watched the video yet, but I like the thumbnail's implication that we could get triple carlos next year
Tommy with the Penguins sweater... Hockey guy?
0:11 Tommy : 😳
VB has entered his Iceman era
Try Karmeliet Tripel!!!
Antonelli to Williams for 2 years. Sainz to Mercedes. Russell is officially on notice.
Wowow why is Tommy joining in with the adverts?!
Money
Pittsburgh Penguins baby hell yeah love the pullover
He's going to Aston Martin, theyre meeting him next Tuesday
Leading Aston Martin would be the best case scenario for him.
I could see if he doesn't get a top seat, he could sit out for a year. Seems totally plausible to me. Could go race imsa or WEC
Mercedes or Aston depending on what Fernando does.
You should broadcast them to the USA. ATLEAST one of the shows😊.
Who will be driving where next season, is literally the most exciting thing about this season
Feel like daddy stroll won’t think Carlos is flashy enough for his team. I think he gets a 2 yr deal at Red Bull or maybe Merc.
Eddie Jordan, who admitted he had no proof but wondered of Carlos joins Fernando at Aston Martin, and Lance quits. Could be fiery, could be the perfect team mates. How wild would it be though :)
Set a target on patreon where when you reach it you dont do ads mid vid.
They have enough subs that they're making good money. The mid video ads are inexcusable.
I still say the only move that makes sense is for Sainz to go to Merc. Just do a straight swap Hamilton for Sainz because he is too good a driver to just put into a mid pack car. Talking of putting Antanello (sorry don't know how you spell his name) straight into the Merc, they could but I personally wouldn't. To me he has to, if you pardon the pun, earn his wings before he goes in the Mercedes. Maybe slot him into the Aston when Alonso decides it is time to go. You need a proven driver in the Mercedes for 2026 and the new regs and to have a rookie and a driver who is still finding his feet to be a number one driver, which is what Merc will be if it is Russell and Antanello, would be a bad move. Russell still makes too many mistakes at the moment for me. So if you have Sainz and Russell in Merc for at least 2025 and 2026 and they get the car back at the front or near the front with the 2026 regs, Merc COULD be hard to beat again.
What type of stoke did you have at the start and are you ok?
I hope that he goes to RB. Him & Max were brilliant in 2015. Can you imagine them together again at RB if RB builds a good car, fully matured with honed skills? They could be unstoppable.
