Double check to see if Leclerc's in the wall yet or not.

It wasnt as bad for vettel with the strategy, but ferrari didnt have the best car at every race in 2018

@@gamingnoah9807 Quite similar to now, Leclerc had to push the car to the absolute limit in France to be competitive with RB, not so surprising he made a mistake. And on tracks were the F1-75 is a bit faster, there are still the reliability issues. And Ferrari's strategy was also a mess back then, Vettel had more than once to make his own strategy calls... A really stunning example was Spain 2020, he literally coached his race engineer while driving. Got told to push but then stay out, and somehow he managed to extend this stint on softs to roughly 2/3 of the race distance.

don't blame everything on Ferrari when both of these drivers can't stay on track for more than 20 laps

@@skydivemaniac It's the lap you finish after exiting the pit. These laps are typically slow because you need to warm up your tires to get some grip. This means as a driver you can really make a difference here and Max is a master at it. Which allows Red Bull to successfully execute undercut strategies like in this race with him. Where bringing him early for fresher tires plus an excellent outlap results in Max earning positions.

Although Max would have reclaimed the position soon, I too feel that was selfless by Checo. As Max says, Checo is undoubtedly a legend.

@@nic7nic he is at another level right now, because he just made everyone look like they were racing him in a go-cart at Spa. From the start of that race he took the fastest lines, picking his way through the field as if they weren't even on the track. Amazing to watch.

If u calculate it with max's current form 8:13=0.6 (wins:total races= average wins in 13 races). 9 races left so 9•0,6=5 (races left•average win= potential wins left). 8 wins +5wins = 13 which is the record of most wins in a season held by Michael and Sebastian. Incredible form

Major difference is also that Redbull and Merc are confident on the radio, if they are sure about a strategy you can hear it their voice. Ferrari's response is always, "copy we will check". Ferrari seems to decide everything during the race, where's RB and Merc both have solid plans and contingency for chaning conditions.

I hope he'll learn to hold his own. But also it shouldn't be a driver's job to strategise, even if they are able. It's an absolute disgrace that the ferrari pit wall, with all the information available to them and the option to ask drivers for feedback all at once, make a worse call than their driver mid race.

Max made the call to start on the softs this race and not go to the hard tyres at all. I think Charles should take it more into his own hands like Sainz does because POV of the driver can make quite the difference.

@@Zuwze thats cause hes dutch we're very direct and and we say what comes in our mind😂

Yes, Vettel would do this and Lewis does this often also overruling the team to extent stints beyond what the data says because of his feeling in the car.. it should not be required in a top team but it is a hallmark of a great driver to have the feel and strong will to push back or overrule the team.. I think this aspect of racing as well as the mental side generally is what separates Charles from guys like Lewis/Max.. but Ferrari need to be better for him fundamentally

That recovery was ace, downshifts to revmatch with wrong hand over the steering wheel because of full lock.

Not it was his mistake don’t justify it 😂

@@Bonobo1974 actually no. What he did that was actually impressive was pinning the throttle for a little bit more once he realised he wasn’t going to save it. This made him spin almost 360 degrees instead of the 180 or 90 degrees that he would’ve spun had he not accelerated. After that his hand goes for the clutch, the anti stall kicks in and then he finally downshifts once he’s straight

The fact he was so close to losing the title last year because of incidents like that probably made him realize he had to change that too.

Nah he just have a better car

@@rash500m All of those scraps last year were barely his fault, just remember how Mercedes bowled him out of 2 races, the difference this year is that Max knows that now he doesnt have to try too hard because he has a better car and his rivals are imploding, he knows that. He has this security blanket that he could not afford last year.

@@aesir1ases64 I'm not saying they were is fault, but for example: Silverstone: If he backed up a bit after having Hamilton dive the inside and survived the turn, he would've probably gained back the place later as he had more pace and not lost 25 points, and even if he didnt, it would have been 18 points instead of 0. Monza: If he let Hamilton on cold tyres go first in the chicane, he would have probably passed him quite easily in the "straight" turn right after and beat him on braking at the next chicane because of his grip advantage at that moment, instead of both ending out. 2 situations that resulted in almost 50 points less over the season and would have made it a lot easier for him in Abu Dhabi. None were his fault(which people do and will argue about) but he could have came out of both on top had he been a bit more patient, and my point is that he is finally developing his skill to judge when to and when not to go for an overtake or defense now that he is maturing :)

It was a double take to make sure that those really were the hards on the Ferrari.

Extra warming up the tyres

If Max or Lewis done a 360 spin last year while leading, they would have lost their race. That was how close the margins were. Now the opponent is so incompetent that you can afford to make mistakes like that and still win.

He is somehow like a cocktail of Senna & Schumacher.
