2024 F1 Imola qualifying analysis by Peter Windsor

- čas přidán 17. 05. 2024
- Max Verstappen seized his eighth consecutive pole at Imola, equalling the record of Ayrton Senna 30 years on from Senna's passing at the same circuit. It was a tensely-fought pole, too - as Peter Windsor details in this video. The softest tyres in the Pirelli range made it impossible to complete three optimum sectors; and the two McLaren-Mercedes were almost a perfect match for the Red Bull-Honda in terms of grip, balance and top speed. Max it was, though, who was quickest by the finest of margins. Australia's Oscar Piastri was second for McLaren, ahead of his more experienced team-mate, the Miami GP winner, Lando Norris. Ferrari, still slightly lacking in top speed, qualified fourth and fifth.

Nick: you're always with us - Sport
Max getting pole when there is no competition is boring, but when he has to fight for it it can be truly phenomenal to witness.
Especially for himself 😉
Can’t believe Max did this qualifying between two stints at the 24hr at the Nürnburgring on the sim…
He needed a break from the simracing :)
Side Quest Complete !
Before 2 stints was it not? He is currently racing now and was last night
Max was again on another level with his RB, unbelievable he got the pole after such a start of the weekend and then also 30 years after Senna, equalized all time consecutive pole record. MAXSTERCLASS
He does this almost every race; starts out a little shaky in FP1 & 2 and is on the front row by Q3
He is doing it for netflix
Nico Hulkenberg: "Max and I have been helping each other out this Quali, he helped me out a few times in Q2, and I returned the favour here. So yeah, you need supportive colleagues sometimes, don't you?"
Nico said that?
That’s awesome
Verstappen to Audi
Wow , that’s gay and they shouldn’t be helping each other
So Max would not have been on pole.
@@bjs7442lol all drivers try to use slipstream of any driver …that’s smart. Often teammates do that between them…like Bottas and LH did so many times…remember
Max celebrates by taking part in the 24 hours at Nords on IRacing lol. Currently leading. Pure racer through and through.
How can I watch this
@@aaronhusain1659probably team redline on twitch. Or the official stream of the virtual 24h
@@aaronhusain1659 team redline twitch i think
@@Keeemmmmm found it thank you for the quick reply tho

It's great to see Max have to dig so deep to get pole - and, you know what, I think he genuinely prefers it that way. He's a born fighter and he thrives on real competition.
For sure! He has already opened up about that quite some times in press conferences. He definitely wants other teams to close the gap, he loves the fight
These are "romantic" thoughts about him. He stated not long ago, that he would rather go for a 20+ sec easy win instead of a constant wheel to wheel sketchfest to the end. I also had that heroic image about him in my head, but I guess we both misjudged him. 😕🤷♂
@@staLkerhu Lol, i dont remember him suffering wheel to wheel ;)
@@staLkerhu he likes both, I think sometimes he prefers a dogfight and sometimes he likes leading comfortably.
@staLkerhu it's wasn't an "easy" 20 second win, it was would he rather dominate and his answer was yes. He also pointed out he knew the fans wouldn't want to hear this.
Maxterclass!!! equals Senna for the 8 poles in a row!!!
And equals Prost for 7 consecutive pole positions from the start of the season. Simply lovely driver
@@pantrofl
The additional pressure such a record brings could really be heard in Max' reaction.
Max has Sergio Perez as a team mate while Senna had Alan Prost as a team mate when he got 8 poles in a row, what Senna achieved is another level which is why he a legend of the sport.
@@pantrofl 🏆
Anybody still doubting Verstappen? What a performance.
What a brilliant tribute from Max to Ayrton ❤
epic Max pole
max, redbull equalized prost his season consecutive record and equalized senna all time consecutive pole record. it is just insane what he is doing. he has broken, or equalized the most important season records of the all time greats. what does that make max? a race god
Hamilton fans be like “it’s just the car” as if Lewis didn’t have the opportunity to smash all these records with his dominant cars. Dude didn’t do it with the fastest race car ever.
People are gonna turn and look back at this and say max was so good that he literally ruined formula 1. I truly love experiencing this. Not everybody is lucky enough to watch a goat at work.
Max has the chance to beat a 30 year record next week at the hardest and best to watch qualifying track on the calender, monaco. I cannot wait
Senna rolling in his grave after finding out max equaled his record because he got a tow from hulk 😂😂😂😂
@@ok-dy2tzMax is the closest driver to Senna since Senna. He would be cheering
@Lanse1984 who.has max beat that would out him next to senna?
@@ok-dy2tz the way Max drives for sure he is the closest to Senna we have ever seen. Come on now
@Lanse1984 great driver, but hasn't proved he can beat the best, and has had very weak teammates that he dominates.
What you said yesterday about Alonso and Max, that they are jealous because Lewis is going to Ferrari, was BS.
indeed.....
Red Bull have very difficult times ahead for a whole multitude of reasons.
This is most likely almost the end of the dominance.
@@procatprocat9647 Speaking out of your ass. You have no idea what is coming in the future, particularly with regard to Red Bull Racing
Lewis has lived rent free in Alonos head since 2007.
@@procatprocat9647 Redbull/max has already won so much and broken records, that there will now be more competition is only nice to see. Redbull/max is still competing for the prizes. The domination has to stop at some point. This year and next year will be a great battle with McLaren and Ferrari, and that is what we want to see.
Given how we - the audience - are so dialed in to the way that they dial in the cars each weekend, we NEED the standard 3 practice sessions format to really feel connected to the cars and the way the drivers are feeling them out. No more sprint weekends. They’re ruining the finesse of the sport.
I agree. Plus there's other news to catch up on which uses up time, too.
I totally disagree.
Some of the best entertainment I've seen over the past few years came from the sprints.
However, I do enjoy both formats and they should just limit sprint weekends to just a few each season and only on tracks where it is the easiest to overtake.
You know what I'd really love to see return?
One lap qualifying.
I used to love that.
Fully agreed. Sprints and sprint weekends suck, with the odd exception of wet conditions sprints are processions with the odd overtake midfield.
I agree!
Sprint races are nothing more than a distraction from the real weekend event and a practice session for the teams… we already have enough practice days..
MAX = RACING! O yeah peter....8 consecutive poles. Equalling Senna. You forgot to mention it. What a sport.
Oscar gets a 3 place penalty tomorrow....NOT in Monaco. 😉
We need more gravel together with old school tracks
Max REALLY makes the difference.
Thank you Mr. Windsor.
Max pole in imola, now a 24 second lead on i racing 24hr Nurburgring 😂
Man is a monster
What a great quali . This has been a great season so far
Let's appreciate the yeam effort here. Beumi did the work on the sim in the late hours of the night and Max repaid him with a pole lap. It is a team sport people. Very satisfying when everything comes together.
And Jake Dennis too…
@@Redlingstein and let not forget all those factory workers that put RB in cans.
With out them no RB would be...
@@Redlingstein Buemi was in the Sim this weekend.
Love the vids Peter!!
Thanks Peter, just perfect....nothing more to add👍
By far the best analysis as ever of a great qualifying….. looking forward to the race 👍
What is this for a miraculous boy.!,,,,,, nou the world again see its not only the car. Perez again p10? And max with the same car again p1 . Awful training 1,2,3 no one aspect. He hounered Senna on his on way with so much respect. This boy never speaks respectless about the other drivers never. Every one will destroy this enormous talented driver. But again pole. Max is already growing to one off the great ones all time. I think this boy stopped young . He likes all kinds off the Motorsport. All the fame don’t interest this boy (26) only he crazy from racing.
I think we seen him quick in Dakar,Le Mans etc. Max you are just so normal person . Me and a lot off fans love you for that. No showboy but a great racer 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Peter Windsor respect for you .you are one off the English people with real brains from formula 1 . And you respect max really for his enormous race quality.👍👍👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️☘️
Peter Windsor is Australian
Thank you
Always GREAT commenting & analysis ...thx Peter !!
Max beat 4 faster cars.. awesome!
Max took that car to the max today
Perez wanted to show the Red Bull's floor to the other teams... again
Your awesome as always
As Schumacher molded a new generation with his Physical preparation, Max will mold an upcoming wave of Drivers that are highly prepared using iRacing.
Max was extra fired up after that pole, he relishes the close fight, people are going to start realizes once it gets close again how much a competitor Max is. Perez p12 while max is on pole, while the Ferraris and Mclaren are way way closer to each other and on the pace of Max. Once again, Max makes the difference.
most crazy qually loved it bit all my nails off
Great recap again. No need for anything else😊👍
Like the way you put the 3 fastest sectors together and who the drivers were. Interesting!! And for Max to equal Senna's record of 8 consecutive poles was historic. I think that every 6th or 7th race they should reverse the field by using the current championship standings. I think that would generate even more interest.
Spot on....why mess about with the silly sprint races? Let the teams focus fully on Saturday qualifying.
Max's lap was reminiscent of Monaco last year. I caught the onboard in the middle sector and thought wow the precision is insane. Watching the whole lap on CZcams later I realized that he had a huge perfect tow starting his lap. That probably gave him the pole. The lap was beautiful though.
Love your content .. but pleas use a high pas filter on your audio .. for folks with a sub-woofer there is a lot of low rumble and plosives. It should be pretty easy to high pass at 100Hz or so. Many thanks! Keep the great content coming!
Poor Oscar... penalized for his team's fault
That team error costed kmag a possible q2
@@creeperpl4yerWho gives a shit about KMag.
@@creeperpl4yer such a shame for both
It is a shame for Piastri but the rules are rules. Im saying this as a McLaren fan. Still hes only 5th and still score great points.
@@stephanes. In a track like imola where getting position isn't easy kmag got the shirt end of the stick, looking at the other haas they had pace but now its likely that he doesn't get near points
Good job Nico!
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I just want a few of the frontrunners to take each other out and the Hulk to get a spot on the podium, I’d love to see what that does to him… go Nico go !
One of the best poles, brilliant
Finally, the fight we have been waiting for: Max vs Lando! McLaren keep up the great work! We want more epic poles, epic battles, epic victories!!!
One more thing: as much as I didn’t want to see Max bounce back from yesterday, it’s so exciting to see him coming back hard and that maybe there could be three teams hunting for a win tomorrow.
Love your analysis Peter. Unmatched as usual. Isn’t it nice to see McLaren in the conversation again??
So close, great effort by Oscar! Max was helped by a tow to get pole. Oscar did get a penalty, which he deserved. We should be on for a decent race!
Max's tow:

The costcap really seems to be working, normally Mercedes and Ferrari could just outspend the competition, but not anymore
Theres no points awarded in a F1 practice ! The greats always find a way to perform their best in qualifying, and the race too ! Max tying Senna's record of 8 poles in a row is fitting here at Imola, Seeing how he's very fast like Senna and has 3 titles as well !! After this year he'll have one more championship than Ayrton though !!
For sure another Master Class by Verstappen as expected and also another Master Class by Peter Windsor and his analysis. I am alone among my peers when it comes to my passion for F1. A passion that goes all the way back to the 1967 Canadian GP at Mosport. I would like for my non-f1 friends to watch an analysis by Peter. Then I think they would understand.
Greetings Peter from Savannah, Goergia.
Max v Lando for the win, 3 way fight between the 2 Ferraris and Piastri for the last podium place. Shaping up for a great race tomorrow!
I think the win comes down to who can stay out longer. I can’t see an undercut working on this track unless theres a big gap open up in the pack.
Piastri 3 places grid penalty for impeding Magnussen. Will be a very interesting race because Perez messed up again, so Max as usual will be on his own. The start will be very interesting. It seems the McLaren updates are working.
This was a masterpiece. I still believe McLaren has the car to beat here. Feel like it's gonna be a though race for Max to keep both McLarens behind as they can split strategy to get Max, should they stay in his tail.
Piastri has both Ferraris ahead of him… so that won’t work
I don't think Sainz will allow Piastri to drive him off the track once more 😂
Hi Peter. First of all; I listen to a lot of podcasts but I value your opinion as one of the most objective. I myself am not objective at all. I am a big Verstappen fan and also a Ferrari fan. In the past I was a big fan of Jean Alesi. As i look at it, he was super talented but not the best driver. I always thougt he was driving with his heart more than with his head. Anyway, a great driver to watch. Perhaps you can elaborate on his driving stile in one of your podcasts. How would you rate him and what do you think of his driving style? Also would like to hear your story on starting your own f1 team in the past. Keep up the good work!
That red bull was likely 3rd quickest car, objectively the deltas between both red bulls and the other TEAMS is the only true way to know who the quickest car is.. red bull was not quickest, McLaren was and then Ferrari then red bull. Max is max
It is anticipated that tomorrow's race will be very competitive, particularly in light of today's lap times and longer runs. Additionally, the fact that the teams did not compete here last year appears to have put many of them at a disadvantage.
The ability of RB and Max to “find it” for qualifying and race day “consistently” is dam impressive.
One wonders if part of this is that Max and RB are really good at sandbagging and being deceitful over the radio to con their opposition into a feeling of over confidence?
Whatever their secret sauce or true abilities are it is dam fine!
L'Emilia Romagna è bellissima, spero tanto che Imola rimanga a lungo in calendario. Qui c'è una passione straordinaria e ben due scuderie hanno sede in ER
3 place grid penalty in Imola, not Monaco
Yuki had the spirit of Senna
We just need for circuits that punish errors & not American street circuits. Take f1 back to basics like it was in the 80 & 90's. Bring back the Sunday morning warm up too
I don't like street circuits, but they certainly punish errors. Walls are like that.
Merc probably has their engines turned up on Friday while everyone else is chillin 😆
I'd say it's becoming time Red Bull ditched Perez. Perez is a good midfielt driver, not more than that. If your teammate takes pole and you get outsted in Q2, that says a lot.
Also the driver pairing of Norris/Piastri is simply stronger. This is going to cost Red Bull.
No, it will primarily cost Ferrari points 😎
I reckon Adrian going sailing on Oyster for a while, don't know how long the piece string is though. By the way of thinking, Baltimore yacht clubs are not to far from the Indianapolis racetrack are they😅
So Zak it was not the car!
Monaco, last year, best quali ever?
Magica
Can we start a petition somewhere, against stupid, elaborate, sponsordriven names? It’s Imola. It’s Sauber. It’s Interlagos. It’s Toro Rosso. It’s Ferrari, for crying out loud! No friggin homeprinter brand is allowed to detract from that! You shall not pass!
Save us from corporate bullying! I wasn’t gonna buy anything HP anyway, but now I’m actively campaigning against them. You’ve accomplished as much, HP. Be proud. I’ll see you on the Dark Side of Advertising.
Just a bit of a correction about FP3 Peter. Oscar set his fast lap and then the red flag came out, but there were still two and a bit minutes left once the track was cleared and the others tried to set a fast lap but they couldn’t match Oscars time in FP3
In FP3 Max for one never got to set a flying lap on the softs because of the red flag, and then with a couple of minutes to go when the track was clear he didn’t cross the line in time to do a flying lap, there were too many others in front of him that did make it to the line. But for them time was too tight to do a proper out lap. And there were others that couldn’t start neither finish their laps because of the red flag.
Ssshhttt.. ItS jUsT tHe CaR pEtEr
😂
The Hulk
Max is king…..uk needs to start appreciating in stead of demonising…….
Can't really generalise the opinions within an entire country like that.
Oscar Piastri, watch this guy
Pathetic performance by ferrari. Hyped those upgrades up too much, and they disappointed us fans as usual.
Good job to the junior red bulls, though .
The midia hyped the upgrades.
Get it right.
Love from YUL
What a qualifying. Maybe Landon should only follow max and pit later.
Some people got a lap in after the red flag
McLaren is at fault for putting Oscar on track when they had already slammed the session.
Didn't Max get a tow in his last run?
Yes off Hulkenberg i think
Yes he did just intelligent driving and team work!
You get what you give.
Yes and he was fastest in P1 , P2 and P3:-)
On 1 of the 2 Q3 laps yes, not on the other lap. Piastri got a tow too
Maximum Goat
2:57 3:21 10:21 [some other mentions throughout]
windsor got more sponsors than a football shirt these days 😂
Oscar's grid drop isn't for monaco but this race
Very close team. Tomorrow is when it counts though. Let's debrief qualifying & then fully focus on the pace. Anything is possible. 💪 ❤ ❤🇮🇹 Forza C² ❤❤💪🏽💪🏽 💚🤍❤ Forza Ferrari! 💚🤍❤
You didn't mention Max getting a little towing aid from Nico Hulkenberg.
👍🎯
The W15 is better than its last 2 predecessors, however, that isnt saying much.
Both Hamilton and Russells driving prowess is expertly masking just how car off the mark Merc has missed. Put rookies or mid/bottom tier drivers in this car and it is a p14 at best.
Hamilton was struggling to keep the gap with Russell under half a second in several sessions.
@@DenUitvreter yeah ok.
Max had a bit twitchy moment in last corner sector 3 q3. Otherwise, he would be quicker by 0.1 or 2.
EST here, still stuck on Shanghai time and I f*kken missed fp3 and qualy...
Regardless, would much rather get a recap from Peter Windsor instead of "Kent does F1" on youtube who knows things about F1 that noone in the paddock even knows.
👍👍👍👍
I’m not sure red bull win the Grand Prix though. I think it’s not going to be a runaway win this time for red bull, especially as Perez isn’t around to help offset the strategy to help his teammate
max out preforming the car,not many have done that,one thinks of course of Senna,not many others.
Quali have been done and dusted now i think Lando has higher chances of winning after piastries penalty and RBs race pace this weekend
Why is Riccardo not fired ?
6:21 Kevin Magnussen jumpscare
12:35 Lewis is no longer a top tier qualifier and Windsor cannot see it
Sorry, but i think Max S3 losing of time is because 1 of his tyre is touching the gravel at last turn?
Needing a tow... Says it all
