[@colbywoolsey3113]

Stroll underrated? C'mon, guys. The fact that he's 4th, to me, isn't indicative of him performing better than we thought-it's deceiving. He's in what's likely the second best car. He was out qualified by Hulkenburg. And it seems every week stroll is falling short of expectations/straight up disappointing drives.

[@andrewdieffenbach5043]

@@colbywoolsey3113 2nd best car? Red Bull has a better car and you could also make a case for Mclaren. Also, if you consider Stroll disappointing, how do you feel about Perez? Stroll is currently P4 in the drivers standings. Did you expect him him to be better then Verstappen or the Mercs?

[@hukuando]

What makes Gasly's win all the more emotional, was that Anthoine Hubert told him to "Prove Them Wrong" when Gasly got unceremoniously demoted from Red Bull. Now a year on from Anthoine's death, Gasly's done exactly that. It really hit hard to watch him sit there on the podium alone for a moment, just to take everything in. Anthoine must be proudly watching, somewhere above.

[@aryan.ankolekar]

Pierre's switch from RB to Alpha Tauri has been a blessing in disguise for him

[@johnwhittaker311]

I’m convinced that if you put Gasly (or anyone else) in that RB and they will struggle. That team has issues down to its core that prevents their second driver to be quick. Max and Daniel were on equal footing, hence the competitiveness. Now Max is the clear No.1, they’ve doomed their constructors title chances.

[@tonamg53]

@Parallax No, Helmut Marko never said that an “upgrade” will only be available for one car. He also never said that the number 2 car will be a testbed like guinea pig. What he said was that they might not have parts ready for both cars so sometimes they have to experience with lots of different things during practice and different suspension settings which makes the setup unpredictable and the car difficult to drive.

@@pr-tj5by Design a car around a driver is a myth that only stupid people would believed. Think about it, how do you set out the requirements for the car? If they really design it for Max? You need to be very specific and know exactly all the details. Driver’s preferences are not specific. “Hey Max, how would like us to build you a car?” “I like driving a car that’s 5m 23cm 45mm long and I want the width to be no more than 3.5m” Its silly…. They design the car to the specifications set out by FIA, not the drivers.

[@pr-tj5by]

@@tonamg53 That RB is completely designed around Max.... That's not the case with Merc cos both drivers have input, Merc explained this a good while ago and said that if the car is designed around one guy then the other driver will suffer in a tight Constructors race Considering how well Bottas does in qualifying you have to say that they're correct

[@k1ngcab00se]

Love you guys but this was a pretty weird review this one. Kvyat was catching Gasly which is why Gasly pitted early. Apparent Gasly now a Mercedes candidate because he managed to seal the win (because the Alfas and Stroll held Sainz up). Stroll out performed Perez apparently, even though Stroll was nowhere to be seen in the first half, got a free Pitstop and then somehow screwed up with the quickest car at the front.

[@jousis_]

I mostly agree. But what about Lando, why couldnt keep up with stroll? I dont think Stroll is a talent, but I think he did ok in this case (with a ton of luck ofc).

[@Boerkreeelis]

Also didn't understand why the different engine modes were affecting 'Honda' more, considering it's a Honda-powered car that won. Surely, with the same exuberant logic that was shown with 'Gasly maybe to Mercedes', Honda is now the quickest engine of the entire field and Ferrari would be considering switching engines.

[@barneymassey4244]

jousis I would say that lando was having to keep bottas behind which, although bottas was having problems, would’ve slowed lando down. Also from the restart lando went from 7th to 4th stroll went from 2nd(1st without ham) to 3rd

[@barneymassey4244]

I completely agree. Gasly through the yellow and red flag places gained 7places . Carlos fell 4 spaces. Gotta feel for the guy who’s bad luck has cost him 30 points, easy 4th place in the championship and now a race win.

[@jousis_]

@@barneymassey4244 Carlos was on fire in this race. Easy p2 behind ham if we didnt have the drama. Also, Mclaren nailed the setup, lets not forget that. I am little dissapointed of the meme boi, I really wanted to see him on the pondium with Carlos. It would be awesome.

I’m actually exited with the current ‘young’ or younger driver pool in F1 over the next 5 years.

[@user-wd8qm5hl8l]

There’s no rule requiring a “mandatory pit stop”, the rule is that each car must use two tire compounds in the race. 99.999% of the time it requires a pit stop to change tires. IMHO F1 needs a rule to ban unnecessary work on the car during a red flag (like every other race series) and if a team must change tires they are sent to the last place on the lead lap.

These are the races that I watch F1 for. The rare race where everything we know about the sport is flipped on its head.

[@CHRoOMAX]

The win was ultimately as impressive as it was lucky. The true winner of that race, after Hamilton's penalty, is Sainz. A win for Gasly in lucky circumstances does not automatically ascend him to some godly status that every team would be interested in. I highly doubt that any team that wasn't looking at him before would be looking at him now after the win.

[@marceldeweerd9419]

True, he was very lucky to be in the position he was in. The thing I think you didn't take in consideration is the fact teams are looking for guys that can stay so calm and make 0 mistakes while the pressure to perform is higher than ever before. He had amazing pace, only sainz (who I rate very highly) could keep up. This race showed he is capable of great things, I do think teams could have changed their minds about gasly

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

Clearly haven’t seen how Gasly’s been driving this year, he’s been absolutely sensational

[@marceldeweerd9419]

@@Duval-In-The-Wall I know, he is performing extremely well this season. I only think a race like monza's will bring him a lot of attention from bigger teams. Because he shows he is an excellent driver that will fight at every opportunity he gets. And it's very hard for drivers of the midfield to get that attention they deserve. The way he didn't let his head down after being dropped by red bull and losing his friend Hubert, is to say the very least, exceptional!

[@RaghunandanReddyC]

End of the day its a B-team never gonna challenge Red bull for the wins. Force India/ RP, Renault/ Alpine, and Mclaren would at least try to get better and win. Redbull will just absorb all the talent they can find in Alpha. And they have to wait for the right circumstances to make things like this happen. It would be a bad choice in the longterm if he aims to achieve more in F1. (If he doesn't want to end up like Fisichella).

I have nothing against Gasly, but he has won ONE race, and that was under unusual circumstances. I do hope whatever team he goes to gives him a good car and doesn't treat him like a second class driver, as Red Bull did, because he has the potential to be very good. Also, the last year that Vettel and Raikkonen were at Ferrari, Raikkonen was on the podium at almost every race, just like Vettel.

What you guys touched on at 55:00 is why I love motorsport, unlike any other, I feel motorsport fans are fans of the sport itself rather than living or dying by a certain team or driver. So although we all have our favourites, the sport comes first, so an exciting race without your favourite winning is so much better than a simpler race where your favourite wins. At least, in my opinion, that's why I love motorsport and how I see most motorsport fans.

Let’s not forget that Albon had floor damage ... because he couldn't qualify high enough on the grid, because he had a poor start, because he had a total lack of judgement trying to be third abreast outside turn one and got hit there and because he squeezed Grosjean off track and got floor damage as a result.

one possible reason why tires can be changed in a Red Flag scenario is Red Flags can occur when there is an extreme change in weather conditions (e.g. red flag due to wet conditions and the race restarts in dry/inter conditions).

He got really lucky with the amount of chaos up in front, but I doubt his true pace itself is race winning material, so I'd agree with you, he's not a bad driver, but I don't think he'll be anywhere near the top 8 in the next few races, or the rest of the season

[@kain5637]

Francis Tan I agree but at Monza he had an opportunity and he took it, which shows if he gets a better car and develops some more he can be a race winner.

[@stormy3600]

It’s not about he’s gonna win another race in that Alpha Tauri because that car can’t do it. He’s pulling off Top 8s because he is a good driver outperforming that car. I’m only saying his good run is gonna end at Mugello but I’m not saying it’s over for the rest of the season. It’s just that race win hangover.

[@markhitchcock7380]

Nailed it.

Italian GP: The Revenge of Gasly

[@sohammhatre]

Absolutely spot on about some fans only being concerned about the drivers they support and putting down others which is a wrong thing to do. It could've been a Mclaren double podium maybe even a 1-2 and for me as a Mclaren fan I'd love that but to see Gasly leading and winning the race was as much fun. Sainz gets recognition, he's a Ferrari driver from next season but this win has really drawn much deserved attention towards Gasly who in my opinion and I've always believed this is the most underrated driver on the grid.

[@XBullitt16X]

so hyped.

[@Alexander27463]

Matt. KIMI WAS FASTER THEN LECLERC no way he'd have a chance at the podium

[@RaghunandanReddyC]

Passionate fanboy. if you know what I mean. The pack would have eaten him alive like in SPA where he lost 5 places in a span of a couple of laps.

[@MrBuurh]

If Hamilton had been in Bottas' position at the restart I have no doubts he would of gone on to win. Bottas just isn't up for the fight at all! Also reverse grids i don't like, it feels artificial to me. Gaslys win would of been no where near as amazing if it was a reverse grid because it would feel forced. In football just because one game ends in a 5-4 thriller doesnt mean that they change the rules so a 0-0 cannot happen! Teams need to be brought closer together not a gimmick like reverse grids!

[@TheSpacecraftX]

Watch F2. It works fine.

[@RaghunandanReddyC]

Bottas is not a great overtaker. How did he not make any places in 20 laps? in a car that is a second quicker in clean air than the next fastest car.

[@kodiw202]

I wanted to see Gasly win but man, watching Sainz be that racey.... It was exhilarating. It's going so good to see him at Ferrari.

[@justinm.1]

I liked the standing start they did for this race, like they do in the F1 game lol

[@Luca-ot9dc]

Why the hype? there was still a Mercedes on the podium😜😉

[@ay-leck1369]

Not funny. Didn't laugh.

[@d3al3rplays68]

And a Red Bull ;-)

[@bsheehy94]

I agree with Matt & Tom on Stroll. If he was only where he is because of his dad then he'd be the worst driver on the grid. He has 124 career points & 2 podiums at 21 years of age. Hulkenberg by comparison gets plenty praise for a guy with zero podiums in 10 years. People need to start putting respect on Stroll's name.

[@theoth.1704]

Be real...Stroll's only achievement in Monza was to lose p1 out of his grasp. Nothing special just luck. Hulkenberg's short stint with Racing point proves that he is a much better driver than stroll.

[@Dylan-kw8mm]

The thumbnail 🤣

[@peterweer2867]

Nice Video

[@RockPhonic]

Why would you possibly watch Internet’s Best Reactions when you’ve got this?

[@MattiaMastroianni]

watch both

[@Paul-yw7bf]

What’s next? He’ll be middle of the pack where he’s always been. Would Hamilton be booted from Merc after his performance? Certainly not. So why would anyone expect this one off win to propel him up the rankings?

[@jeroenbons637]

"Last years Red Bull (2019) was not such a bad car after all, seeing Pierre winning" Max Verstappen said with a huge grin.

[@asherbarnsdale5203]

“You are on this podium, but we do not grant you the rank of A* Driver.” *Stroll watching WTF1* “This is outrageous! It’s unfair!”

[@venicebeachsportsnetwork6677]

The race was fun but also so convoluted based on the rule book it almost like the results are complete rubbish

[@MattiaMastroianni]

?

[@elliotttalksf1825]

Gaslys performance yesterday reminded me so much of Vettel’s maiden win at Monza 08. The mental strength he’s shown over the past year and his sheer pace make him a future champion in the making I reckon. What a driver he’s turning into. 👏🇫🇷

[@NoiseSignal]

she's back for next podcast!

[@zulubunsen9067]

My two cents (however much they're applicable) on the two main issues of the GP (however much they made things interesting): - Scheduled single-car qualifying: let the cars go one at a time (maybe even with a 'standings order reversed' to spice things up a bit). We'd have a bit less drama and "racing" during qualies, but the drivers wouldn't slow each other down, they wouldn't jostle to get tow and they wouldn't have to throw away timed laps when someone else goes off ahead causing a yellow flag. On-track action would also be much more constant as there wouldn't be the "off time" in the middle of the three periods when teams are waiting for the last few minutes. - Race control radio announcements: adopt the system from WEC with Eduardo Freitas and get someone to make the important annoucements -- Safety Car, yellow flags, pit lane closed, hell, even penalties -- over the radio to *everyone*. F1 may be too fast for some info (like sector yellows), but this would get rid of a lot confusions.

[@worldwar_history_narrator7451]

Calm down just because he got a win doesny meam he will be a wdc within a year

[@aradkeywankhah4161]

Red flag every race, reverse grid

[@Taterisstig]

honestly, I knew something was up when Albon went from being challenging for p1 to struggling in q3

[@christinal.7958]

11:37 can't believe you just predicted grosjeans strategy for the eifel gp lmao

[@radkogudas225]

I don't know how you give Hamilton an A after that, it's both the driver's and the team's responsibility. Let's go and ask the race director whether a driver is supposed to know if the pitlane is closed or not.
