- Max Verstappen is known as an aggressive, sometimes hot-headed racer who looks like he’s always on the limit - but interestingly, his driving style paints a completely different picture.

What is it about Verstappen’s driving style that makes him one of the fastest drivers on the F1 grid, how is he extracting the most from his Red Bull F1 car and how does his style compare to other F1 drivers? All of that, coming up.
First, let’s have a look at Verstappen’s racing line. You may have heard that drivers like Verstappen, Hamilton and Vettel drive a “squarer” racing line. But what is a “square” racing line, what are the benefits and how does Verstappen use it to his advantage?
The reason a racing line goes from the outside, to inside and back to the outside of a track, is to open up the corner as much as possible. The shallower the arc through the corner, the more speed you can take through it. This is called the geometric racing line - it’s essentially how the line would look if you used a compass to draw it.
However, this doesn’t take in to account the fact that the car typically needs to decelerate into, and accelerate out of, each bend. With this change of speed, the dynamics of the car are shifting with load being transferred around and the balance of grip changing.
Therefore, the fastest way through a corner is not the geometric line, rather it’s something we call the ideal racing line.

Max Verstappen has now accomplished what this video title said he would.
97.56% complete, there's an "s" he needs to do to fully accomplish it, and I'm pretty sure he'll do it. 😊

Are you real
2:47 "A driver like Carlos Sainz would take the geometric racing line"
I mean he's a smooooth operator for a reason
Your comment deserves more likes
The best comment of my evening
Thanks guys
Someone give this man a AWARD.
Button did as well take the geometric one
I'm always amazed at the footage of Verstappen when he spins in that Brazil race. He actually stops fighting the slide and waits till he knows he has traction again before turning out of it. Most drivers in the wet panic and just keep sliding while braking and turning
The first time I saw it, I didn’t think it was real. Thought I was watching some crazy video edit.
“Heartbeat went a bit higher there mate”
You can release the brakes when you know you're turning back the right way and then keep momentum and be facing the right way to recover from the spin
@@j.hannoodles7242 Yup, we can do that with a normal car. With a F1 car, we can't :) Totally another world regarding grip levels.
Brasil 2016 is the reason why i think that Verstappen is so fast
Why do I get this when I am about to leave for an appointment? Now I'll be late .... unless I focus on minimal corner transit time and nail my corner exit!
You can make it, you even have Michael in your name

Sharikh Khaan OMG michael schumacher’s first name is also michael, this guy must be a driving legend too!
The kid is an incredible talent whose had access to everything he needs to maximize his potential. More importantly, he seems to have the passion for it.
Will be interesting to see how the rule/car changes of 2022 affect him -- everyone, really.
Congrats on calling the title winner a season and a half early.
He will be great again. Verstappen his talent and experience will pay off in new scenarios.
Even though he is young he has so much racing experience. And I believe he will adapt quickly for the new car and rules. The only question remains which constructors builds the fastest car.
Same as Hamilton and i don’t understand why he gets so much hate
@@elijahchampaigne6753 "i don’t understand why he gets so much hate"
I don't either, man; Unless those that do the hating are fans of drivers Max has been aggressive with (pretty much all drivers -- Max just has an aggressive, go-get-it style) and they've lost to him.
Any objective fan of the sport will appreciate MV's skills, though. The dude can drive his ass off, period. The end.
@@Quazi-moto it's mostly just people bored of the same guy/team winning. If Max won 6 or 7 years in a row people would get bored of him quick
@@michaelhansen2309 That makes sense. I've seen it in other sports -- and even been a participant in said hate against a team that wins so often as to become boringly predictable, or make the sport feel stagnated while they're on that winning streak.

Make a driving style of Yuji Ide. The official gOAt!
Simple, because he sits on the roof he can spot the apex even better and thus gains a second per corner.
ONE YEAR AGO THIS LEGEND SAID THAT MAX WILL WIN F1 TITLES WITH HIS DRIVING STYLE,
NOW TODAY HE IS COMPETING FOR THE TITLE IN 2021
Edit:"Now today (12th Dec 2021) his words literally came true"
And Now Max Won the World Title
@@djacircarvalho8251 no max won nothing the result was a given cause max lost the championship the race before when he should have been black flagged for his dangerous driving.

@@ramontitmarsh306 please reconsider your grammar when trying to converse with others because its really nor clear what you mean in that last sentence. (not trying to bash you for it im far from perfect in english myself i just cant understand that last sentence)
Im still thinking about silverstone though, where a 10 second penalty is awarded for bowling somone off, where if max wouldve won that race instead of being bowled of by hamilton, he wouldve had a 27 point lead in this last race, or even if he would finish behind hamilton he would still have all the points he earned at silverstone as a lead thus eliminating the need to finish first and cruising to a WC in the last race,

This is the rambling of a petulant idiot that stamps his childish feet when losing .

Max reminds me of Senna.
Aggressive. Pure blooded racecar driver. Good on him to win a championship. More to come :)
Talented, Knows what he is doing, Racecraft, Attack Attack and Attack, they are from the same mould!
Thats why I became a fan of him since he debuted in F1. He is just a pure racecar driver--just raw speed and probably the highest race IQ besides maybe Hamilton. He can read a situation and make the correct action without any hesitation. There are a lot of fast drivers that don't win races because they hesitate when an opportunity presents itself, whereas Max knows exactly where his car needs to be and has the confidence to put it there when the window opens.
@@thtswhtshesai6d9 reminds me a lot of Alonso too, not afraid to speak his mind, no time or interest in the politics.
All he wants to do is win races nothing else matters.
you must be new to GP racing......they all are, and about 15 in the past were far better,,,PS Max has a car that is one second faster than the rest, everytime he only wins by less that the Nunber of laps in seconds, He would have lost in another car...OPPS
He is now F1 World Champion
He is now 3 time F1 World Champion.
Next time Vettel please, his driving style is very special, he needs a stable rear and he is going with little updates much faster, look at Singapore or he also looks in a different style in/out of the corner.
his style is non stop spins
Ya, thats why he thrived at Red Bull
Vettel uses the strait line in corners and usually ends up int eh barrier.
Beryllium S🅱️inalla
Very special? Not after 2014 season to these days lol, Alonso driving style is unique, Hamilton's unique, Max's unique.
First title now won
Well this vid aged like the finest of wines....
This aged very well
And now he won it
Need Vettel, Hamilton and kimi driving style
Bwoah idk I just drive fast
I agree but you should always start with the best
Now you have Senna
Don't need Vettel, he was just in the right car at the right time
@@psk5746 There's far more to it than Seb being in the best car. He is incredibly talented and quick, and likely would still have a championship even if he never drove for Red Bull. Nonetheless, the way he utterly dominated weekends (easily securing pole then building up these massive gaps to drivers behind) was special, and it was a feat that Mark Webber was able to achieve very few times despite having the same machinery.
The title aged very well
I wonder if his predicting of what the car will do comes from sim stuff since he spends a lot of time on iRacing. I know for me, going from real life to the sim in the beginning, i realized you have to drive in a proactive manner instead of a reactive manner because you're not getting any seat of the pants feedback from the car. So you learn all the idiosyncrasies of what a car will do in any given situation.
Nah it comes from being Dutch he thinks learning to kart so young in unpredictable Dutch weather made him what he is. Iirc he said the Dutch line after media asked why he was so much better in the rain at Interlagos in 2016
Edit: I mean that his godly abilities come from that and driving so young rather than shit like Sim racing which he does as a hobby
@@MrRhubarbs idk man I think sim racing would still be a decent factor in his overall driving skill. It’s how all these young kids developed their skills so quickly.
@@uninsulatedshrimp5518 nah dude. It's the other way around. They're so good which shows up in the Sim. It's not surprising that Albon, Russell, Leclerc jumped into Sim racing during quarantine and were immediately fast
@@MrRhubarbs they never did sim racing like i racing tbh plus they played f1 2019 which aint sim
he is a true legend since his carting days, he is used to do all the maintenance and mechanics of his cart himself since he was a kid. Just like Senna
I love Max's *energy & fearless* on the track, i know sometimes doesnt end well.
But its very entertaining to watch, can't wait for F1 next generations in action *Max, Lando, Carlos, George, Charles & maybe Albon* (Gasly + Yuki 🤭)
Yeah, and a lot more of drivers not finishing the races....
Everybody forget torpedo (((
Ah, how this video has aged like a fine wine!

@@adityairawan1843 Yes!!!
DUDE HE WAS SOO RIGHT THIS GO RECOMMENDED AND TODAY IN 2021 HE'S LITERALLY WINNING
I suppose it's hard to do drivers from past eras when there was less on-board footage, but would love to see you break down some of the greats. Fangio, Moss, Clark etc. 👍
Aged like wine
Gues you were right!
Well....... You were right
make a driving style of Sebastian Vettel
That's easy, look up a 180 degree drift tutorial.
spin
Wow these jokes are all so funny... you simply Dont understand that Seb needs a car with high downforce on the rear wing. Ferrari couldn’t build such a car, RedBull could
Iam Lewis fan but both of you should not hate Vettel actually
Gets early on throttle, thinks he’s still driving a Red Bull, spins, repeats
AND HE DID IT
OF COURSE HE DID IT, MAX VERSTAPPEN CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
Bro predicted it
Wow.
Bravo your a man of vision
When Verstappen entered F1 aged 17 everybody knew he will be a champion 😂 first of many titles
its been so long since racing i take racing lines walking up stairs
Who doesn't😂
i take it while spreading jam on my toast
that's not a normal thing to do?
Efficiency is key to every day life.
I usually follow normal racing lines when driving (well, a lot, not always)....I drive a citroen berlingo hahaha
To put it simply max has a gift for “seat of the pants driving,” keeping the car on its grip limits, and keeping his momentum up. He’s able to predict what the car will do instead of reacting to what it’s doing because of the information he gets through the seat.
I would argue that his formative years were in karting as a kid from 4-and-up, meaning he learned these skills so young they are low-level ingrained in his brain. The later series he raced in, like F3, has 'only' been honing these skills.
And Max treuly wanted be the best ! And fully comitment the whole race and before and after !.
For sure, 'talent' is just a concept, learning from young age is where you make the difference
@@ulver1187 what about the other 18 drivers, they done it from an early. The talent is 100% real
1 year latter This video aged very well
This racing line is in Ayrton Senna’s book “Principles of race driving” written 30 years ago. He mentions breaking the rear away with the throttle to rotate the car on corner exit as well.
There was traction control during his era though, so I believe & heard that this would allow him to be even more aggressive on the throttle than would be possible today without spinning
@@lzh4950 there was no traction control when Senna drove the turbo beasts of the 80s.
@@lzh4950 traction control, abs and electronic aids were only present for a very short while during his time, he went most of his career without then
You were right
HE HAS MAX POWER
this aged really well
I remember Kobayashi had about the same racing style, especially on the corners/hairpins, master of late braking, if only he was in a better car...
At least he was successful in endurance racing
@@umeshsonkar4177 except vs german lmp1 teams.
Thanks very much for this analysis, it is great to hear about the intracacies of each F1 driving style. Would it possible for you to make a video explaining what made Kimi Raikkonen's driving style so fast in the 2000s and beyond. I know that he is not considered to be the driver he once was, but as proven by later Ferrari performances he still has the ability to fight with the very best in the sport.
It would also be interesting to hear about how he suffered with the notorious front end issues of 2014 and how this created the gap to Alonso etc.
He won indeed, you were right mate.
This aged like fine wine🥰
Man, this was informative and very insightful. Your explanation style is very good, I was able to grasp exactly what you were trying to convey when talking about how Max rotates his car! Good stuff!
He predicted the future
The level of detailed analysis in your videos is just beautiful. Keep up the great work!
Its also fun to see how he rarely does something where it looks like he is pushing, i belive that its because he often drive near the limit.
well the thing is… his driving style is actually clean and that’s super obvious in qualis but with people around him it always looks like he does push things way too far. With his racing line being so square it means that he’s always near track limits, so catching a car besides him in a corner means that he’s able to follow his normal racing line while at the other car is forced to give him the minimal space for him to stick on track (exactly what he’ll do whiteout a car there anyway) but it gives the illusion is a dive bomb
@@northDSX why does his steering feel like he pauses and like he rotates wheel in increments instead of doing it smoothly? What is the benefit of doing that?
@@mpetkovic26 To let the rear rotate

Great work on winning Max this season championship in the most controversial way. However I think that you were just the better driver in the end just though it was neck and neck.
And he did it.
Well... now he is
max verstappen you are the worldchampion
I've casually followed racing, but my knowledge extended only to clipping the apex. The 'square' technique was a real eye-opener, in taking into consideration the dynamic forces on the car at various parts of the corner. Very interesting and informative. Thanks.
And it really all depends on the car characteristics. F1 cars with extreme HP can afford to lose more speed and accelerate out of corners. An MX-5 would be much closer to the geometric line because it doesn't have much acceleration, so it needs to carry more speed into the corners.
Excellent video as always. I hope you make a video about Raikkonen's driving style someday soon. We always hear he has a "unique" way of driving which isn't easy to set up for. Would love your input on that. Appreciate your videos all the way from Bangladesh. Cheers!
Has won every title since this video released! Driver 61, Wanna send me the lotto numbers?
quality of videos is really good. Can you do a kimi driving style video especially during his mclaren years
Superb Scott!
I would love to see your thoughts on old school Formula 1 legends driving style, such as Fangio and Clark.
As cool as that would be to see, I don't think it's possible. Onboard footage really wasn't a thing back then, and the TV footage was too grainy to accurately see what the drivers were doing. There was also no telemetry to see how they used the brake and throttle, and as both are dead, you couldn't exactly ask them about it
This is the first video l've watched on you channel and enjoyed your in depth description of Max's driving style. I found it very informative. I subscribed and liked! Thank you and l'm looking forward to viewing them all.
Who is here after Max won 2021 F1 Championship Title
Great insight, Scott!
Suggestion: Do a video series analyzing the complete driving styles of successful drivers and call it: What makes great.
As someone from the future, I can say this aged pretty well
And it works! He’s the 2021 World Champion🥂🏆🥇
This should be a series, I'd love to hear your critique of other drivers on the grid.
I hope Red bull will give him the car they gave Vettel in pre hybrid era.

Thank you very much, another extremely insightful video. You have a real gift for detail and economy (there's a shorter term for it I'm sure) and however familiar I think I am with a topic you always seem to add something new. I hope you don't mind me making a request, I'd love to see a more general video on Alonso as the other one was a bit car specific and I suppose I'd really like to you analyse all of the great/interesting drivers of the last 30 years, purely for the availability of decent onboard video otherwise it would be every driver ever! Thanks again
Would still love to see a video on Alain Prosts style. Love this series!

I raced with his father and mother in karting eurochampio ships and world championships, we were with the Belgium team, GKS racing. He is fast because of his genes for one.
It is so much in his blood.

Considering that F3 drive you showed was during his *only* year of pre-F1 car racing, you've got to acknowledge his natural skill. Ironically, given how people perceive him, I think a lot of drivers considered to be "slow" (relative to those who fling their cars around) are actually just smooth and deliberate like him. JB, Prost, Hill Snr & Jr, Jim Clarke... All champions with a smooth, precise steering action, and on their day, unbeatable.
If you can get video of Max in F3 in Germany (Norisring? It was a while back now!) - it will help prove it to the naysayers. It was underwater all weekend - think Canada 2011 plus Noah, on a concrete(? .concrete-looking anyway) track. Even the safety car didn't look planted. IIRC, Max was about the only one who looked to be on rails - won all 3 races, and it was the meeting after him winning all three at Spa. His boss (Mattersitch or however it's spelled. I've never seen it written 🤷) actually said during a brief prepodium interview with C4 after Max' first win at Spielberg that it was that weekend that made him call Marko and inform him that he _was_ going to sign the kid lol!
I'm no fanboi (or rather fangirl. I'm still a Damon girl lol), but I remember seeing him at Spa for the first time and yelling at hubby that I was watching a future F1 champion. The next race weekend, I was triply sure. As long as he gets a car which it good enough (won't need to be the best. Much like Lewis - good enough will do him too), he'll win it. I'd like to see him fulfil his potential and win more than one.
Yes, I would also like to see Lewis win at least 7 total (8 would be better) and Charles win at the very least, one. He's just got to get lucky with Ferrari getting their act together because he has the talent in bucket loads. Aren't we lucky to be watching right now? So much talent in the field!
Hi Scott! First of all, great video! I am learning a lot from these videos. I would love to see one on a driver like Jenson Button who set up the car to understeer. Thanks for all of these!
Really descriptive video with good research being done! Keep it up!
Well you were right, it did win him a title
Wow this videos are great. You know what might be cool for a later series is looking at mistakes that famous drivers have made, and what they might have done differently. I'm especially curious about Vettel's crash at Germany 2018, where he looked completely helpless and just seemed to steer the car straight off the circuit. Thanks again!
This video has aged remarkably well.
Love the Sebring footage!
Aged well
That 2016 brazil race is still one of my all time favs 👌🏻
Love the analysis man. Great content but also fantastic footage, transitions and more! Definitely a huge point of reference for me
Predictive rather than reactive.
That's all I was thinking while watching that wet Brazilian race. Max was making everything happen, creating his rotation rather than chasing it, as so many do in the wet. Catching that slide was a wonderful job. It all happened so fast, but he acted like he had all the time in the world. Like he knew it was coming and already knew what to do.
"when watching that wet Brazilian race" Are we not doing phrasing anymore?
@@SamBrickell Sorry, Mister Grammar Nazi, sir, I tend not to pay as much attention when I'm not being paid to write! (lol)
