He drives almost perfect but the car is build around his driven preferences. Just like the Mercedes was build around Hamiltons driving. A Nr.2 driver will always have to drive better to keep up.
@@DontGAFkid Ok. consider you are an absolutely 0%, there still "80% of the work", so can you drive this car around this circuit at 80% verstappen performence? like 1:52 lap time?
The biggest shock about his Suzuka Quali was the fact that he was 0.007 seconds from Max despite the big gap in Sector 1. It was only at the final chicane his time went down. I sincerely hope he keeps this up for the rest of the season.
I think, but am not sure, data is from GPS, which doesn't always deal with sudden changes quite fast enough, and in general doesn't have a fast update rate. So I wonder what the tolerance is on the speed, especially when speed is suddenly changing.
surprisingly this year sector 1 was pretty close overall, no godly sector 1 like max last year. perez lost it in the last chicane, Max is a beast in slow corners/chicanes this year. insane traction.
Probably not a big deal, but perhaps keep the infographic the same, especially when they are both from the same session/year? I had to check it wasn't a comparison from 2023 VS 2024 or similar.
OFF TOPIC: Did ya'll notice how Alonso kept lifting before 130R towards the end of the race to give Piastri DRS to better defend against Russell (to better his own chances against the fast-charging Mercedes)? It's not a new tactic by any means, but I wonder if the team was first to remind him of this opportunity, or he came up with this approach on his own (I'm guessing it's the later).
Perez is currently only 13 points behind Max in the drivers standings. So only a question of time until Perez snatches the lead and runs away with the championship!
There was a shot during qualifying where it looked like he threw everything into throwing the car left into spoon, I knew from that moment he was gonna be close it looked insane.
The exhaust mic surprisingly makes similar sound to the early red bull honda era (2019-2020). Tho the wastegate is still audible I still wish they'd separate it just like pre ground effect era cars.
The drivability of the RB20 is proving its worth. And Checo has really performed well this weekend. Being beaten by Verstappen is not something to be ashamed of. Keeping this close is something to be proud of. I would keep Perez in this form, and put Lawson in the RB/toro next to Yuki.
Imagine getting out the car knowing youve absolutley smashed that lap, everything on the line, to be told max has beat you, and hes not happy as he said he could have gone faster..
Did you hear Lewis during quali? Lewis drive the Merc on the absolute edge no more to give and at the end his engineer says, half a sec to Max and Lewis says, where he getting the time!? 😂 It frustrated the hell out of him
Perez runs a lower wing as shown when on the straight through 130R. Despite his lower wing he is still able to keep up to verstappen. He also didn’t brake through degner 1, only lifted while verstappen braked
Max's line through chicane is way different, he cuts everything he can to shorten distance to the finish line. At the end of the exit curb on the right he is +-20 km/h slower than Checo, but it is enough to be faster in this section. Checo is using more conventional racing line "slow in - fast out", which is definitely faster in the race. It will be interesting to compare their time specific for the section from braking into the chicane till the finish line, because I think S3 also includes 130R
Max was faster by 0.12s there on his previous lap in Q3. Had he repeated that, the gap to Checo would've been 0.19s at the end. Still great from Checo, it's impossible to keep up with that monster from Netherlands.
now im not 100% sure if he would've gained time from this but if he could've ran wider on the exit of 130r (if that backmarker) wasnt there) could he of gained that 0.0066+ and potentially gotten pole?
I'd love checo to keep this form up, but it must be hard to stay on top of your game knowing max is always gonna turn up no matter what. Apart from singapore last year which was clearly a car setup issue etc. he just doesn't miss and that must weigh on you as a team mate alot
Japan is the first and biggest upgrade they brought and it worked in Checo’s favor (also Max’s for that matter), unlike last year where it went against Checo. So, it’s looking promising for him this year
He will not because Max throughout the season make the engineer make the car more oversteery. As Alex Ablon have said in a podcast. Thats why Perez is competitive at the start of the season.
That's not the same car as last year not even close. They just had a huge upgrade in Japan yet here's Checo killing it whereas look at last year this time. Not saying it won't end up like that but for now after a big upgrade...all good.
Kinda feel sorry for Checo, he literally blew max out the water in that lap, but was still slower! Must be so demoralizing. Max finds his speed in settling the car and extending the straights. Not sure if Checo will ever get it.
Very cool Perez with this confidence in the high corners, which is usually where he loses to Verstappen. We saw that in quick changes of direction, it is still slower, but in fast curves with a With this direction he improved a lot. I hope this performance stays with him on the European circuits too, he can do very well there. Unfortunately the race pace is still low
Verstappen is definitely smooth and relaxed, which makes a lot of difference in the race, but Checo driving style is all fun and passion. The way he lets the car go is a joy to watch!
130R tbh as corner hasn’t been a challenge since 2003 when they reprofiled the corner In 2011 we hard cars taking it flat with the DRS flap open and the cars today have more downforce now
@@BayernSupremacy_ Yup The Michael was the first person to take it flat in 2001, 2002 quite a few teams could take it flat and after McNish crash there they reprofiled it and it’s no longer a hard corner to take flat
Honestly, I've never seen Checo in a Red Bull hooked up on a track like this. It's always Max with a clear advantage. While it might not be enough for Checo to challenge Max. If he can replicate this at places like Silverstone, Barcelona, Spa, CoTA.. He will have a really strong season.
The actual telemetry data shows them both at 76kph min-speed through T11.. The onscreen telemetry is not 100% accurate. They were within 0.01 going into T16-17 - Perez had a slower approach with faster exit, Perez went down 0.26 in those two corners but brought back 0.20 with the faster exit. This was the biggest difference (time wise) in the entire lap. Perez may have been faster in Degner 1, but Verstappen's slightly slower approach gave him a far better exit at Degner 2 gaining him 0.20 seconds before T13 as well. F1 tempo has all of the telemetry graphs with some awesome info.
They were quite accurate. Just in different refresh rate. Which telemetry did you get 76kph from? --Edited-- I see you mentioned F1 tempo. It uses the same api source as Perez's telemetry does. You gotta zoom in on F1 tempo's display to better find those minimum speeds. As for Verstappen's telemetry (the later part) on this vid it's another story, but it's even more accurate.
Cant really compare the two telemetries, Checkos is more filtered and lagging, deflating top speeds somewhat and significantly inflating entry/apex speeds. So they probably went very close speed wise on that degna as well as spoon, we can see it by comparing distances or engine rpms that seem to have less filtering... Verstappens typical "entry over exit" bit him in T11 where Checko got most of his advantage. So yeah, beast mode absolutely! But thumbnails kinda misleading, like they all are, sigh.
How is Max slower everywhere but taking less to complete a lap? Also, Max found time at Suzaka in these 6 months, but in some corners he was slower in stead of faster. Not happy with the setup all weekend, but just wins. Probably cruising while Perez was pushing. Is the way Perez finds speed perhaps heavy on the tyres?
That front wing camera angle is awful! The T-cam is nearly perfect (especially on Kevin Magnussen's car this weekend). Why tf is F1 trying to change it on some cars?
I really really hope he can keep this up. If he does, the only one to replace him for next year will be himself
F1 needs battles for the lead and we're not going to get that with Perez in that seat.

That's not the same car as last year not even close. They just had a huge upgrade in Japan yet here's Checo killing it whereas look at last year this time. Not saying it won't end up like that but for now after a big upgrade...all good.
@@ThmsDouglas just look at Perez at the start of 2022 and 2023 then compare that to the end
A real rivalry is brewing on top finally?
Kinda feel sorry for Checo, he literally blew max out the water in that lap, but was still slower! Must be so demoralizing. Max finds his speed in settling the car and extending the straights. Not sure if Checo will ever get it.
Sorry for Checo did you hear Lewis during quali? LOL
It seems like Checo braked just before the 100m sign at the chicane, while max did it a bit after the sign.
if you slow the video down max went thru at 272. he didn’t keep the speed up but middle of the corner he was doin 272.
It’s min speed though
Middle corner speed is quite irrelevant compared to minimum speed though.
Very cool Perez with this confidence in the high corners, which is usually where he loses to Verstappen. We saw that in quick changes of direction, it is still slower, but in fast curves with a With this direction he improved a lot. I hope this performance stays with him on the European circuits too, he can do very well there. Unfortunately the race pace is still low
Seems he just lacks consistency
Verstappen is definitely smooth and relaxed, which makes a lot of difference in the race, but Checo driving style is all fun and passion.
The way he lets the car go is a joy to watch!
Bro needs to put in this performance just for max to say that his lap could have been better 🙏
F1’s fastest ever in Degner 1 and T13? 😳. Are we about to see some more Checo magic?
the flat out T1 and 130R is ridiculous!
130R tbh as corner hasn’t been a challenge since 2003 when they reprofiled the corner
In 2011 we hard cars taking it flat with the DRS flap open and the cars today have more downforce now
130R has been flat since 2002
@@BayernSupremacy_ Yup The Michael was the first person to take it flat in 2001, 2002 quite a few teams could take it flat and after McNish crash there they reprofiled it and it’s no longer a hard corner to take flat
how was max consistently putting 1-2 tenths on everybody in the last chicane
Shits crazy right!?
270 kmh through a corner like Degner 1 in ANY car, how did the weight of his balls not send him into the Pacific?
Only if he drove like this every weekend including races
Great job by checo, but just look at max. Its insane how smooth he is with the steering and how late he brakes
Until turn 16-17, Sergio was actually on the way for P1. Nontheless a huge inprovment in his Quali pace.
Honestly, I've never seen Checo in a Red Bull hooked up on a track like this. It's always Max with a clear advantage. While it might not be enough for Checo to challenge Max. If he can replicate this at places like Silverstone, Barcelona, Spa, CoTA.. He will have a really strong season.
We now how it ends, everyone gets exited, Checo starts to believe in it again and for the 3rd year in a row it ends up in making mistakes
I like how he has no pace then all of a sudden he is quite close to Max. That's neat.
0:29 tells everything ver late breaking
So it’s not the car aftershave then?
Since they were in Japan it would be appropriate to replace beast mode with Super Sayian mode.
Don't we have a better angle for Perez's car? That front wing POV is not as clear
That's what I like to see from him. Not the disasterclass he was in 2023 in this race
I think Perez has more understeer, and more higher wing angle.
The actual telemetry data shows them both at 76kph min-speed through T11.. The onscreen telemetry is not 100% accurate.
They were within 0.01 going into T16-17 - Perez had a slower approach with faster exit, Perez went down 0.26 in those two corners but brought back 0.20 with the faster exit. This was the biggest difference (time wise) in the entire lap.
Perez may have been faster in Degner 1, but Verstappen's slightly slower approach gave him a far better exit at Degner 2 gaining him 0.20 seconds before T13 as well.
F1 tempo has all of the telemetry graphs with some awesome info.
They were quite accurate. Just in different refresh rate. Which telemetry did you get 76kph from?
--Edited--
I see you mentioned F1 tempo. It uses the same api source as Perez's telemetry does. You gotta zoom in on F1 tempo's display to better find those minimum speeds. As for Verstappen's telemetry (the later part) on this vid it's another story, but it's even more accurate.
@@yelistener F1 tempo has the actual telemetry graphs
Crazy how Perez beast mode lap is still slower than a lap verstappen wasn’t happy with
Perez Beast mode vs Verstappen casual driving
What about Ricciardo vs Tsunoda in Q1?
Another close one!
imagine putting in a beast lap, and still not ending up above max who is better in races, this must feel terrible for perez
Cant really compare the two telemetries, Checkos is more filtered and lagging, deflating top speeds somewhat and significantly inflating entry/apex speeds. So they probably went very close speed wise on that degna as well as spoon, we can see it by comparing distances or engine rpms that seem to have less filtering... Verstappens typical "entry over exit" bit him in T11 where Checko got most of his advantage.
So yeah, beast mode absolutely! But thumbnails kinda misleading, like they all are, sigh.
Sexo found his mojo back 🥵
how can it be?! Checo was faster in every corner )except for Sector 1 corners), but still his time is slower
Perez saw the stray he caught from you in your last Degner comparison video and made it his mission to prove you wrong lmao
Don't you get the feeling that Max's car is slower? but max brings out his magic and makes better time
How is Max slower everywhere but taking less to complete a lap?
Also, Max found time at Suzaka in these 6 months, but in some corners he was slower in stead of faster. Not happy with the setup all weekend, but just wins. Probably cruising while Perez was pushing.
Is the way Perez finds speed perhaps heavy on the tyres?
The car is not built around one driver, that's for sure.
he is only guy left who can stop max winning
praying Spa will be dry and Max does 2 runs in Q3
That front wing camera angle is awful! The T-cam is nearly perfect (especially on Kevin Magnussen's car this weekend). Why tf is F1 trying to change it on some cars?
