Piastri was definitely the better choice for McLaren, it's just impressive that they had the guts to not only "fire" Ric but also nab Piastri from Alpine
Not really fired, Riccardo, more like paid him $20 mil to go away 🤣
@@killerhurtalot danny meanwhile happy not to drive the 2023 McLaren
@@killerhurtalot Well you need to pay compensation more often than not if you fire someone
So it’s exactly firing😂
@Sulaiman Abdul Rehman I know right. Getting paid to not drive a trash car this season...
@@killerhurtalot At the expense of his F1 career
Agreed, no crashes, good pace, he's slowly building up his confidence. By far the best debut this season. I wish him well.
"Good Pace"
When????
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Yesterday, he was on pace with Lando in Q3 through S3 and had understeer into a wet patch in Turn 10. From telemetry we can estimate he would have finished ~0.011s behind lando in P4 without that understeer in turn 10 after he had a purple mini sector through the last turn
@@FormulaDynasty Yeah, I've seen it. Prior to that he wasn't performing too well. However respect where respect is due, that was a good performance
@@FormulaDynasty Piastri should've been qualified P3.
@@mvd4436 nope. A little mediocre in fact.
The kid is so solid, he’s not answered a single question without a smile. He’s immune to the pressure, he’s just getting his legs underneath him and he’s going to be a monster if Mclaren ever get their shat together.
The other massive plus no one mentions is that for a rookie at different tracks in different conditions he never bins it. He never costs the team repair money. Teams LOVE that
@@adrianalley700 Piastri only lost a front wing in Jeddah and a diffuser at Miami and they both werent his fault
No one’s mentioning that he was inactive from racing for a full year either which makes his season more impressive
He has testing
@@Allblue1 yes that helps but still being out for year and still be this close Lando is very impressive and shows his talent
@@justinwilliams9291 agreed
@@Allblue1 there’s a big difference between testing then putting it together on a race weekend
@@jameslindemann3139 Not really becuase you already understand the way the car behaves. So pushing is not a problem with a car you already accustomed to
One of the hardest things for every F1 fan is to accept that their favorite driver is underperforming. When that happens, you become delusional and keep trying to find excuses - car, sabotage from team etc etc. I know that feeling that Daniel's fans are feeling right now and I understand them. Just hang in there, guys.
Anyway, go Oscar!
Exactly what Vettel fans are doing right now with Max breaking his RB records and Alonso having a much bigger gap to Stroll than Seb did
We are hanging on
Just sad these shocking seasons are what new fans will remember of Danny ric when he's much better than this 😞
Daniel was indeed declining but so was the car
@@cartierclips1126 gut the gap between Lando and Daniel /Lando and Oskar says it all...
Completely agree. So impressed with Oscar, he has stepped up.
If Oscar defeats Lando in his first season, at some tracks he’s never raced at. It won’t look good for Norris.
@@gameofender4463 Lando seems to be handling the challenge Oscar has posed to him quite well I think.
@@liukin95 It’s very early to tell but Norris has a lot more experience than Oscar and he’s already level with him.
@@gameofender4463 Well Oscar is a great talent so it's hardly a surprise. Plus the McLaren is a dog to drive!
To be honest while dropping DR was right it does hurt to see him gone
I thought it was more painful to see him getting embarrassed every race weekend. At least when he’s out entirely people forget that and just remember the good stuff
@@scottmeredith3359 that's true
It don’t hurt me, he was brilliant but he just got lazy after Renault
Agreed. Sad to see Daniel gone. No driver has the good vibes Daniel brought to F1. But Piastri will do wonders for McLaren's morale.
Ric is now back on track :)
He is seriously impressive. In my opinion, Norris is a very high benchmark.
Oscar is doing very well, very professional and quick. Lando has been significantly quicker in the races and a bit unfair to say Oscar was close in Monaco when Lando saved tyres for Q3 only to be held up by Charles and had to abort. Charles three place penalty helped Alpine and not Mclaren. Such is life. If he hadnt have been held up Lando would have been faster as the track was getting quicker. Full marks to Oscar though he is doing well and Mclaren in parting with Daniel have actually saved money.
Head to head teammate quali pace difference is based on both drivers relative time from the same qualifying session, can't compare times from different sessions, I.e q2 and q3 cause of track evolution, new tyres etc.
Lando is an overconfident prick but true he’s not bad
@@nichenetwork9817 Your insult says more about your jealousy of someone with real talent who also happens to be a nice guy too.
Didn’t Lando break his car in Q2 after botching the chicane out the tunnel tho?
@@NewscasterNews4 Thats true ,thats why he did one less run to Oscar in Q2 but he was till fast enough to progress to Q3.
Here's hoping that the new personnel and facilities can give him and Norris the car they deserve
Oscar is cool as a cucumber. His rookiestatus doesn't impact him one bit. He always looks forward. Arguably the most talented driver pairing on the grid in what still seems to be the trickiest car to drive
Anyone remember the "Piastri is a Fraud" video after 2 races, from some other channel? 😭
Which channel?
@@francescoenricoteofilo think he means cars with connor. That was an *awful* take 😂
@@spicykking2854 EVERY Cars with Connor take is an awful take, to be fair.
Most of his recent videos are made as clickbait with takes to get people talking in the comments, a fast way to get himself into the yt algorithm but also a faster way to make people to ignore his future videos
@@huehuehue7451 Are you talking about Aldas or that Connor guy who made the "Piastri is a Fraud" video a couple months ago?
Logan Sargent is definitely not in the same boat as the other two rookies. Dude is usually a full second behind in pace. I'm an American and it's hard to root for him.
Logan isn't the best driver, but he's not Latifi. He's had some good moments so far though.
@@liukin95 he's not destroying his car regularly so yes he does have that going for him.
For reasons Logan was brought in a year earlier than planned, and considering that Williams' goals are long term, his first year goals are more likely to be consistent and not crash the car, which he's doing fine.
He needs to be closer to Albon's pace for sure, but expecting a newbie to match Albon(who is part of the 2019 trio of highly rated rookies and has 2 seasons of experience) might be a bit too much.
That Williams has to be a absolute disaster to drive, even albons been having issues with it
Logan’s problem is racecraft, he’s basically a single lap merchant where he’s quick in it
I like Daniel a lot, but his fanbase were unbearable when the news came out that he'd be dropped. Oscar of course took the full brunt of that especially on social media.
The fact that he's been able to brush his critics to one side and perform the way he has just doubles-down on the fact that he has exactly what it takes to succeed in F1.
Hopefully with the changes McLaren are making within their staffing structure and their recent appointments, that will convert to a more competitive car as Lando and Oscar deserve a much better machine than what they've got right now.
"his fanbase were unbearable" I think you're just seeing the wrong side of it. Most of the comments i have seen regarding Daniel leaving was actually quite positive & supporting of Oscar. Most of F1's fanbase is unbearable as the majority of the newer fans are drama farming and if their favourite driver isn't winning, then nobody can be happy. The real people that were the issue are the Daniel or Oscar haters, and alot of people regardless of if Daniel was their favourite driver, felt the need to jump to his defence. This also goes with Max haters, and Lewis haters. Anyone that actively hates on other drivers are the problem in the sport, i am a big Daniel fan but i am completely happy that another Aussie is now in the sport & I wish him all the best as he was clearly the right choice.
It's a shame to see that his "fanbase" now has a bad representation for the minority of the comments that have been seen by others, whereas here down under i have seen nothing but love for both drivers.
@@FishEyess im sure that theres a good side of the danny ric fanbase but last year it was unbeareble when all the drive to survive fans were banging mclaren when ricciardo was shit, ofc they were going to drop him.
@@nw2148 me too like Ricciardo. Wish he returned to F1 fulltime seat in 2026. Hopefully with Konnersport Global F1 Team.
I see where you’re coming from, but I think DR fan base were more upset by the fact that DR wasn’t been replaced by a proven driver but by a rookie which as we all know rookies are a gamble for any team.
I like DR too, n when he first came into F1 he was up there in the top 5 drivers on the grid but imo I think that the talent on the current grid is far greater than what DR is and he’s just fallen behind them all.
That isn’t to say he’s not a good driver, he is a good driver but he’s been outshone by the likes of max, Charles, Pierre, George n lando
The video becomes more and more accurate by each race
For me, personally, his Monaco weekend was the race. Quiet build-up, learn the track in an F1 car, and then crush it in Qualifying .
In Monaco, Lando's been 2 tenths up before Leclerc hampered him, and mighty fast in free practice sessions. I think the 0.018 s doesn't quite tell the full story and Piastri still has a way to go to get to Norris's level. Then again, you could argue Lando didn't get to Q3 because of hitting the wall and damaging the suspension, so fair enough, but the speed gap is still there. Give Oscar a few more races and they will be the strongest driver pairing on the grid together with the Merc duo.
you base head to head quali on the same session i.e Q2-Q2 not on different sessions like q2 and q3, because of track evolution, new tyres making you go faster in q3.
Facts some F1 fans aren’t ready to admit
Stroll needs to go
Piastri is better then Ricciardo at McLaren
Stroll showed as a teenager at Williams he's good enough for f1. He's just not good enough for a top team.
@@yoshiuki__9589 not yet. His growth isn't as fast as ocons or russels. Stroll definitely deserves his seat in f1. He just needs to find his ground.
He’s just not cut out for a top team drive, and I don’t think he ever will be. He’s had 6 seasons to prove himself and has only done so a handful of times. It’s honestly a shame because he was actually really good in lower formula agaisnt Russel, Ocon, max, etc. His highs are really good, but he’s just not consistent enough over a season, 2020 checo finished 6th while stroll was 11th in the championship.
@@keramik1269 He wasn't growing at all, he had already reached his peak years ago and is well on his way in the declining phase.
Stroll is doing Pretty good this year so far
Given what Piastri shown, it's now on Mclaren as a team's side to step up and do better with the car. Having 2 good drivers like that is something a team on the backfoot rarely has and they need to make full use of it.
IMO Oscar is the best rookie of the season so far compared to Nyck and Logan he is definitely getting the hang of things quicker than the other two.
I got the impression that DR wasn't quite backed or given the support he needed after a short while at Mclaren initially. Zak Brown seemed to just not fancy him. That said his win at Italy is above what Lando has been able to give McLaren. He wasn't able to get to grips with the car consistently, looked burnout and indifferent after a while and was coasting. He needed this break away and I'm sure DR will return stronger. Piastri has quietly made a good start and thankfully he's not getting too much attention. I think sometimes the worst thing is getting too much attention and spotlight on the young drivers.
Under terms and conditions I cannot say what I want to say. So we'll wait and see if you are correct. About DR being able to get a permanent start in the future
Zack Brown didnt fancy him?? He paid DR £15 million a year, hugely more than what they paid Lando Norris... He was hired on a world champion salary and when he started putting in rookie level performance no wonder the person paying him felt less than enthusiastic...
I mean Lando was in 2nd during that Italy win, so it is not like Lando would have been unable to give Mclaren that, but okay.
Getting paid 20M to NOT drive, that's an achievement!
Mclaren were so confident he would do so well in Mclaren that they gave him 3 years. In Hindsight should've been two.
We shouldn't forget that Oscar wasn't racing for an entire year
"Massively Impressed" is quite a stretch. He has been fine, keeping his nose clean and handling that McLaren well enough. Not setting the world on fire, but fine.
Agree, he isn't close to Lando.
I mean on a positive at least Riccardo was replaced by another Australian driver, as an Australian I’m happy that we have an Australian still on the grid to root for, I just hope that Piastri can get a car that could possibly win him a championship because we have waited too long for an Australian to win it all.
It’s sucks too because our greatest driver Jack Brabham not only is still the only driver to win in a car he created, but also has the same amount of championships as the likes of Senna, Lauda, Piquet and Stewart yet surprisingly never gets mentioned as one of the greats of the sport.
He is definitely doing better job than Ricc
I personally rate Lando probably the 4th best Driver on the current grid , him being that close to him is bonkers no matter how you look at it. It’s almost like Rosberg Hamilton Level which by Points Percentage was Mercs most dominant Pairing. McLaren is now definitely under pressure to deliver and I’ll hope we get to see it
He may be at a slower team than Alpine but when he signed for Mclaren a drive at Alpine wasn't occurring. The ability to be close to Lando is doing bits for his rep in F1
Hilarious to see this video just a month after its release
Here after Piastri's P4, almost P3, at Silverstone.
I thought this video came out today after the sliver stone qualifying
aldas, could you do a video on bottas and his season so far?
Just leaving a bookmarker here so i can come back here when he has two bad races back to back in a few months and we see a video titled 'Was hiring Piastri a mistake? Here is why it was' and goes to contradict literally everything here
Dropping Ricciardo WAS free as he was due an increase if he drove for 2023 and they therefore got Piastri for free. This year's Mac is a more normal a less "strange car" as Sainz called it.
As a Mclaren fan its honestly frustrating to see these two great drivers in such a bad car.
It’s not easy to watch Lando in this year’s McLaren. Kind of reminds me of Jenson in that 2007 Honda
"there you have it!" ok ok thank you thank you
But after the hole McLaren / alpine mess, Oscar had to preform when he got into the McLaren. At the very least he had to be as close to his team mate as possible. I'm glad to see he is doing this,
Miracle workers
No question Piastri is the class of the rookies. And more mature and better than a number of the experienced drivers. Very few mistakes.
Reminds me of how norris was a rookie, no crashes or mistakes whilst keeping up the pace to your experienced driver(sainz) in this case norris the experienced driver.
I honestly can't remember a single mistake Oscar has made so far this year. Even on a wet Monaco as a rookie he was so clean.
No doubt
Piastri is generational, a shame we didn't saw him last year
Definitely not generational, that word gets thrown around way too much. The only young driver on the current grid who deserves that label is Max.
@@Reaz399 ahh man your FOS. Fernando, Hamilton, Leclerc & Verstappen are all generational in their own right. But I’d put max on the second from bottom of that list as the RB car is jut ridiculous how fast it is. Put any three of those pads in that car and they would be dominating too. Btw I’m a Sainz man ….
@@F1-Passion Agreed on Fernando, Hamilton and Verstappen. Leclerc a bit of a stretch, too many mistakes IMO to be considered generational talent.
@@alejandroalmendarez2388 Actually your 💯 bro but his qualifying form can be next level but definitely making way too many mistakes and just blaming the car or the team. Like this weekend saying theirs something wrong with the left hand side etc totally agree bro
Imagine if Oscar had the car that fought for 3rd in 2020 i think it was I wonder how he would have done then
I haven’t seen anything from piastri yet
Riccardo is good for only one thing now and its his most annoying feature: Being a clown 🤡
Piastri is lowkey the new Raikkonen now
The hype is real!
Piastri is looking good, hopefully they can get the car together asap
Reminder for everyone that you can hold this opinion and still think that Ricciardo is a good driver who deserves another chance elsewhere
Absolutely - he’s still the same driver who thumped Ocon and beat Hulkenberg at Renault and the only one from the red bull stable to be able to push Verstappen - he just couldn’t drive that McLaren except on a few rare occasions due to how you have to brake and point the nose in corners. It was the right decision for everyone including Ricc to get him out of a car he couldn’t adapt to.
To be honest, Yuki's brakes were broken which is how Oscar and Lando went past him at Monaco
I think he’s putting the heat on lando for sure… cuz he’s new new
I believe over the season McLaren can regain some pace like how Aston Martin did last season.
With what he is showing, I see him moving up to a top team soon, I see him WC if he gets a top team car. Right now, in pace, the only top team is RB. McLaren is not even in the midgrid pack (the 4 constructors), it is leading the small teams group.
I wonder how much Webbers mentorship helps him
I didn't have high hopes for Oscar coming into 2023 after what happened with him ditching Alpine so suddenly to drive for McLaren and I didn't like how Daniel was suddenly dropped from by the team. He's done alright this season so far, but nothing mind blowing
crazy how he hasnt even had half a season yet and hes so close to lando whos been in f1 for 6 seasons.
Well this aged well
I can see you struggling to read the script still in this video 😂
I’ll say it every time this topic comes up: Daniel was the most overrated driver of the past 5 years. After leaving Redbull, he only started to show *some* of his previous performance levels during his 2nd year at Renault… and one race at Monza where Max and Lewis were out and Lando was told not to attack him.
I can’t think of another driver who rode the fumes of his past success for as long as DR has. The fact some people think he could outperform Checo at RB now reflects that. Piastri coming in and being far closer to Lando as a rookie proves to me that DR was never as good as he was in the early turbo hybrid era at RB.
People only like Daniel because haha funny man said something funny ha ha
Marko said that Ricciardo isn't even doing too impressively on the simulator. Doubt he'll get a seat next year at that rate.
@@Sfcfan120 Exactly. While he has been a good lad, his humor isn't my cup of tea at all
Those dogs look beat...
Mclaren has the two brightest young stars on the grid. Now if they can get their car there that would be great
Here before all the angry Danny Ric fanboy arrived
there are some already ahahahahah
In the end ricciardo left a team that are going backwards and got paid for it and is probably gonna join a faster team next season
Pastry sucks , Ricardo was right to leave no use trying to drive the wheels off a unbalanced slow car
bet ya a BBQ'ed Prawn he aint getting in a faster car ... ever.
@@mutleyeng he was the only driver to give max a hard time .. or did you BBQ your memory of that already?
McLaren were right to drop Ricciardo even if they raced with Norris alone. Not only was he underperforming but his contracts were ridiculous.
100% Future F1 WDC - Ferrari or Mercedes should make a move now
How mcclaren keeps below the budget cap with these payoffs?
Plus he makes over 1 million being the 3rd driver at Red Bull!
5 points in 6 races vs race winner.
This channel: great move!
Me: so lol
Oscar Piastri for me needs some more time to improve.
His driving looks more mature than DeVries
As much as I am a big fan of Danny Ric McLaren did the right thing but to be fair to Dan he was only just starting to get the hang of the car in the 2nd part of the 2021 season and even outscored Lando but then they changed the car design again in 2022 and as Lando said Oscars driving style is similar to his where as Dan's was a complete differing style
I do wonder if McClaren would have dropped Ricciardo without the opportunity to grab Piastri. Oscar is making Daniel look like the inexperienced rookie 😭
didn't mclaren have either palou or o'ward as backup?? on the rest i agree
They would have I think. Ric had 2 seasons with McLaren and constantly underperfromed (dropped q1 when Norris reached q3 many times, he fighted at the bottom, when Norris almost always got points, etc.) If Piastri would stayed with Alpine, then McLaren just grabbed Gasly instead. That would be the only change, either way Ric dropped as it has.
Can we just forget about Riccardo, a never was has been.
But it also shows that Oscar made a mistake choosing McLaren over alpine
He was never offered the seat at alpine. It was either Williams or mclaren.
daniel is good.... but he is nowhere near at alonso's or hamilton's level (to keep him around for so long, and i don't think he will come back). piastri has been consistent for the shitbox and even his attitude is different (lando mentioned how hard he works compared to daniel, who was a good joker). also in the long run, the investment mclaren has done to get him will be worth it and cheaper than the potential he has
Personally, I think Vettel should have gone to MCL at the end of 2020, swopping seats with Mr.Sainz Jr, and Mr.Ricciardo to AMR!😍 Seb, would have been much better than duddy Daniel! And, a much better asset to the team, he could've won a few races but, I doubt he'd be able to challenge for the championship though...although he might have been able to by now, with his great successes and, excellent experience/expertise!😂
Alpine gotta be the biggest clowns in all of this. They lost one of the best drivers of all time who still has it in him as shown at Aston Martin. And they lost one of the biggest talents after paying for his juniors who never drove for them. Just because they decided to be a-holes to both of them. But at least they have a full mediocre french pairing now.
What I personally find the most impressive about Piastri is - aside from him handling the pressure - that he isn't binning it like other Rookies (Mick coughcough). Which to me says that he isn't going 100% full send, yet.
What I found impressive was how he was 7 tenths off norris in three of the practice sessions in monaco which is pretty big gap and then suddenly out of nowhere just completely eradicates that deficit and is only 0.02s behind in quali.
You've gotta laugh when alpine now keep saying in hindsight gasly was actually the better option for alpine than piastri. Piastri would be rocking in that alpine if he got the seat their, given they are clearly faster car than mclaren.
What on earth has happened to McLaren & Williams these days, it's a bit sad how these previously great teams are so far down the grid & results.
Same thing that happened to the likes of Lotus, Brabham and Tyrrell. Original team leaders (AKA the ones who had true passion for F1 and who were willing to throw everything in for victory) are dead or retired, while their teams are now ran by greedy businessmen who care more about their pockets than about actual racing.
Hes not far behind lando. Pretty impressive debut season
I like piastri he has a huge potential but i dont think mclaren should have done this...if they become a good team again i think lando is gonna lose focus because we all know 2 number ones dont go well most of the time in winning teams...and we see lando make mistakes this year ...i think the lando/Ricciardo was a better combo ..it was a clear 1-2 dynamic...but lets see
A 1-2 driver dynamic is not useful in a midfield team like mclaren because midfield teams need all the points. Ricciardo very poor performance last year cost mclaren 4th place and 12M extra money
Question, what happens to Norris if he loses to Oscar?
Nothing
Nothing as long as he's not 1 sec off pace like Daniel was compared to Lando...
Nothing but a hurt ego maybe.
Piastri has been great
yeah he's not half bad yknow
Yeah Zak Brown spent 1 million dollars per kilogram for weight reduction in the B car. Genius play that one. And the car is still slow😊😊
Its all thnx to alpine for investing 11.5 million in piastri so that when the time comes he is ready
DR fans coping
McLaren's performance has also vindicated Ricciardo's exit. I hope they can get their shit together though...
MCL is a fucking disaster… it’s way to early in OP careers to making comments like this. Lando looks as bad as DR did last year so far this year. You need to save videos like this until the end of this season. 7 races into his rookie season is a little early to start making videos like this.
actually this is Mclaren's fault for compromising 2022 reg's for 2021 car which I thought was a fatal mistake in the first place
I just dont understand the love people have for Ricciardo. I really dont.
Actually it’s 25 million dollars to pay Riccardo
Just my personal opinion................I don`t think he`s proven anything. He hasn`t been bad...........but he hasnt been really good either. At the most, he`s been decent........but I don`t think he`s done any better, than " The Honey Badger " would`ve done 🤔
The fact Daniel couldn't even match their test and sim drivers in Red bull just shows that he is finished and no longer F1 worthy. Hope he competes in other form of racing
kind off wanna see either checo or max miss a race and see danny bag a 1-2 with either max or checo
Pretty sure he wouldn't even get on the podium...
WHERE ? WHEN ? 🤣🤣🤣
Danny>>>>
(I know not in mclaren stuff it)
Ricciardo completely forgot how to drive a car in his McLaren years, which perhaps made Norris look better than he was. So far, Norris is still quite a bit better than Piastri. In Miami he finished quite far ahead and in Monaco he had to pass him as well after a needless stop for slicks just before the rain fell. In the wet conditions Norris was flying, though, and Piastri wasn't much slower, which certainly impressed me.
Piastri to Aston Martin
Daniel's a hell of a driver, but the Mclaren-Ricciardo relationship was going nowhere, we can all agree that the Mclaren car was underwhelming, but Lando had the same car and he had some impressive results.
Now Piastri on his first season is staying close to Lando, which is massive considering everything.
Ricciardo juat wasnt the right driver for Mclaren, and Mclaren wasnt the right team for Daniel. There are no culprits here, thery are equally to blame for it failing.
What has he done that’s so impressive ?
Piastri made the wrong move. The Alpine is a lot faster
