  • Checo had a great race in Hungary last year. But. The RB was 33s faster than the field last year. It’s tough to imagine Checo scoring points this year. Sadly I think he’s done.
  • @qNOXIOUSp
    0:30 what do you mean the gap is starting to come down? Max has only grown his lead to Lando the last 4 races.
  • 'Ferrari who knows what's going on there'🤪🤪🤪🤪At least, that's not just the feeling of Italian people😅
  • “I’m not a big fan of seeing someone suffer” and yet you enjoy talking about it forever! 😂😂😂
  • This is my issue with the Red Bull seat. You give Daniel a test in the RB19 and he did VERY WELL. So you give him a seat in the Visa car, which IS NOT THE SAME car and Daniel isn't doing well probably becasue the two cars are DIFFERENT. So we give Liam a chance in the RB20 and he sizzled. BUT, we have been here before with Daniel. So what is RBR really trying to do with these tests...??? Perez is woeful in the other car....why he is still there is just comedic. The only person who hasn't tested a proper RB is Tsunoda. So in the end I don't understand what Horner is actually doing. Just my two cents.
  • @mandst5466
    All this talk about cars being set up for a particular driving style and “undrivable” for drivers with a different style. The really great drivers throughout history could drive anything…. F1, GT, Indy, Rally, Paris/Dakar….. anything.
  • @arjunnair8037
    Daniel was quick in the RB19 though. Seems like the red Bull suits his driving style pretty well. That also explains how he has been the only teammate to Max who hasn't been absolutely destroyed by him. Yes I agree Max was very young back then, and he would beat Daniel convincingly now, the fact remains that they seem to prefer cars with the same/similar nature. red Bull should either promote Daniel or Yuki. Promoting Liam directly to Red Bull would be a recipe for disaster.
  • @nish7265
    This season is gonna be quite interesting. Think RB is starting to feel the pressure without Neway. Lando would have won the last race at Silverstone if it wasn't for his decision to go for the soft compounds at the last stint. But the McLarens are quick around a track. Its only a matter of time before they start tidying up their strategy calls, and start winning races again.
  • Red Bull there are many what if's and a couple of people that need things to go their way. Perez needs to finish the next couple of races what say top four, Liam needs have impressed everyone at the film day? Daniel will need to show something special in the next couple of races (Hulkish) to be considered for the main team seat. .All that aside, If Checko fails red Bull loose nothing putting Danny Ric in next to Max, he wont do worse and they can find out 100 percent if he has a future within Red Bull. Liam gets the second RB seat to show a full half season to access him properly.
  • Aston must be sighning newey i mean the relationship they have had in the past and couple that with adrian not wanting to move his family to italy, it must almost be a certainty no ? 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • People really sleeping on Ricciardo forgetting that he is the only other driver on the grid with proven experience in the second half of a season with a pointy nose car. Send Lawson to VCARB to get used to an F1 car and give Max someone that can actually be useful in the second part of the year each year. Ricciardo in a Vcarb is a poor comparison when he nearly matched Max in testing times in a Red Bull (where noteably Lawson has fallen short recently), as the Vcarb is a totally different car, setup and driving style required compared to an RB. And Mclaren take it to Red Bull? I think he's talking about Checo, not Max 🤣
  • How did the soft, which obviously hampered Lando, help Lewis so much? Just the benefit of free air or something about that car?
  • How is the dominance over when he is extending his lead on leclerc and norris? I know the brits and media have been coping the past few years, but red bull will be champs this year again.
  • Disagree with McClaren's decision making being marginal and down to randomness. Why then, do Max/RB seemingly always get it spot on? For instance, not double stacking Piastri in Silverstone - taking the 5s hit.. when sector times showed the intermediates were 5-6 seconds faster than slicks per SECTOR... i don't buy into the gamble that it could dry up.. a track on a knife-edge can ONLY get wetter within a lap, never in the opposite direction. It was a No-brainer to double stack.
  • @KopJustin
    I didnt know Lando Norris was on this pod
  • Okay, so hear me out : Yuki a shot in the RBR. For the 2nd half of the season, just let him have it. You get to see Yuki at the top and how he handles it, and you get to see Riccardo v Perez. There's a lot of information to be gained there, and a lot of very happy fans.
