2023 Bahrain Grand Prix Race Review | P1 Podcast

[@manuelangel5516]

Fernando is so good. He knew that you cannot take turn 9 and 10 cossecutively on the inside or outside, you either do 9 inside 10 outside or 9 outside 10 inside, he knew this and forced hamilton (by coming out from turn 8 with much better traccion and staying on the outside) to make him do turn 9 on the inside so he could switch to the the inside in turn 10 aswell as having DRS advantage on the straight, beacuse he was behind Ham on detection zone. No one did something like it that weekend, not even in F2 or F3. Truly a racecraft genius🤯.

[@suckieduckie]

Fernando had a vastly different approach to turn 9 compared to both Mercedes. Even on normal laps he was hugging the inside of turn 9.

[@neverenoughgames72]

Mostly a setup thing, but still amazing racecraft indeed.

[@AntisnakeYT]

what is this bullshit LMFAO

[@patraprateek]

Alonso can surely win at Monaco. That traction is just insane

[@nesjo7777]

His car is to long…

[@Ennui.]

@@nesjo7777 all of them are.

[@ForzaPolska06]

They won't have enough quali pace

[@Ennui.]

@@ForzaPolska06 speed doesn't really matter in Monaco since the circuit itself is slow... What really matters in Monaco is traction and how much speed a car can carry into a corner, both of which AM are able to do better than anyone atm

[@Zissou42]

All aboard the 20 car Alonso train!

[@Petskuta]

I feel Bottas being the best of the rest and even undercutting the Astons and Russell at one point has been a bit forgotten! Great race from Valtteri.

[@ItsmepAzand]

Yeah, the commentors didnt even notice for a couple of laps.. Fuckin hell, the battle for 5th is gonna be scrappy this season!

[@Critical_Cabbage]

Already listened to the audio version. Absolutely delighted to have you guys back. I listened to every single race review last year ❤️

[@_mickmccarthy]

Same here! Happy to bump their numbers up on all platforms!

[@romsatchi3676]

As a Ferrari fan, I could feel Matt's heartbreak when Charles had his engine failure.

[@rongiefaustino8867]

I’m a Red Bull fan and felt gutted at the sight of Charles parking his car to the side of the track.

[@AZBCDEE]

As a shitrarri fan it was a beautiful sight seeing them bottle it since 08. Seems like they can’t overspend despite their yearly 100million$$$$ pay check…

[@chickenpit9991]

Even non-Ferrari fan can feel the pain and frustration.

[@alexhartshorn1368]

I laughed, then felt slightly sad

[@lasingen7235]

Yeah heartbreaking

[@Elvin_Smith]

So happy that Alonso and Aston Martin have cracked the top 3, Genuinely so good for F1 considering its always been the same top 3 teams for so long. Just hope it isn't a one off due to Bahrain having been the pre season test track.

[@wombat4191]

Well, it hasn't been only the same 3 for that long. Ferrari was nowhere in 2020 while McLaren, Racing Point and Renault competed for the third spot.

[@Elvin_Smith]

@@wombat4191 yeah that was only due to Ferrari being investigated for the oil/fuel "scandal" in 2019 so, if it wasn't for that it would of been the usual.

[@F-F01]

The Aston won’t be as fast in the following two tracks as the strength of the Aston are slow-medium corners and the following tracks will be fast corners with straights which doesn’t suit Aston. The car is still great and will be great again either in tracks of high degradation or tracks with slow-medium corners like Monaco or Singapore. Also this is the base let’s see if they out develop their competitors thanks to the higher development time or if they get out developed by their competitors thanks to the superior infrastructure. We will see but don’t expect the same in Jeddah or Australia

[@imhotepnixon]

@@F-F01 I think Alonso will have a feast chance for a win in spain

[@Chyeahokay]

Doubt it was 1 off, because Ferrari and merc also had the same time to get the right set up

[@SPR-Ninja]

I already listened to the podcast. I'm watching it again because I love y'all and want to support you. I was watching F1TV. The commentators curse on Leclerc was insane "The only retirement so far has been... OH NO!"

[@alam1629]

The things Alonso can do when he gets a GP1 engine 💥💥

[@JustGohan04]

GP1? There's no such thing as GP1, there's only GP2 and GP3

[@alam1629]

If we are being technical, there is no longer GP2 or GP3 either.

[@philosopherXCI]

Can we get Katty as a special guest? I need to hear a good fia bashing from her

[@danielacv123]

No we dont need Katy she doesn't bring anything original to the table ;)

[@soundscape26]

She started her own podcast.

[@_mickmccarthy]

Just found out she's got her own podcast called Small Torque, might be worth checking out!

[@4rdF1Hunny]

She’ll hit a curb or something, so no.

[@KelsomaticPDX]

I would love this as well. I always liked what she added to the vibe of the show.

[@saintuk70]

As much as we feared things when you guys left WTF1.....but.... that was then.... loving the content M&T

[@Usaallstar07]

A 40 minute video what did we do to deserve this !!!❤️🏎️

[@D3str0y3rS3an]

I was so happy when I saw how long it was 😄

[@paulw111]

It's so great to see Alonso saying "This is a beautiful car" towards the last few laps. Also to see Stroll finally doing well.

[@Anthony-mi8pi]

That Aston Martin was so quick threw the corners. I think Monaco will give Alonso a win

[@4433-l1f]

Alonso deserves this car after the last 10 years of machinery he’s been provided with

[@zephyr6877]

Thank you P1 for putting the full podcast up here!

[@skipsgolden79]

Just love the New P1 guys you should both be super proud of yourself with how it’s all going and it must also be a bit nice demolishing your old employers 😂

[@Rodejong]

I am with Tommy on that. I have been a Red Bull fan since 1998 (Stewart then) but Alonso was something else. Same as the Senna vibe! Verstappen is the same. But would love to see Alonso win at 41!

[@sierralvx]

Just imagine if this season becomes a fight between Max and Fernando for their 3rd championship. It'd be absolutely legendary!

[@Swamp_Lad]

They both don’t take prisoners 😅 it would be a slugfest

[@joshn1678]

That's never going to happen. Max could have been a minute per lap faster than Alonso and was still 38 seconds faster.

[@jimmyb1643]

The way the Aston Martin of alonso was moving on the track was what impressed me the most, it looked so agile and together, it was on rails for sure!

[@LordWay]

I have to say I really like the edits cut up into separate videos. Allows me to fit one in before work where I would have to wait until after with the podcast on the old channel. And the potential for more views for P1 splitting it up definite win.

[@Cloxxki]

With 15 wins for VER, you need 8 other winners over the next 22 races. And there's 6 sprints in the mix as well.

[@jamied8013]

Nice to hear more chat from Tom. Good work boys!

[@Themanngaming]

Thank you for putting this up on yt a great listen when at work

[@jameslockley7737]

Fatti coraggio, magari ti andrà meglio del previsto

[@KareemFloat]

thanks for bring it to youtube. i get diversification and trying to be platform agnostic, but i cant be the only one that puts aside a ton of podcasts because they get tossed on Spotify or w/e even though they grew their audience on YT.

[@96wtfomg]

Important to note. In the last stint on the hards, Fernando had similar pace to Checo and Max. It's true Checo and Max started saving by Alonso also had the battles. If, and it's a big if, they manage to improve in qualy and reduce drag oh my word we are in for a treat

[@ltreanor99]

I truly think Alonso would have won the race if he was in P2 or p3 or even had a better start by jumping both Ferrari's.

[@Zissou42]

Unlikely, RB were coasting at .7 to 1s off the pace. Alonso himself said getting ahead in T1 could have saved him maybe 15s overall, so still 20s+ back...

[@suckieduckie]

@@ltreanor99 Don't get your hopes up. Odds are Max started chilling when he realised Checo wasn't closing the gap.

[@Santiagoy2000]

Alonso really deserves to be credited as one of the best drivers of all time. He has shown on multiple occasions his quality, even with thrashy cars, he has always destroyed his teammate and managed to make something incredible. I really hope he gets his Indy500 win at some point in time, just so he can cement his value for eternity with that well deserved Triple Crown. He is 42, yet he drives like a top 20 year old, time is not a thing when you are that gifted. On a side note, Aston Martin's result is just a proof that the Mercedes engine is good, and that the real issue with the Mercedes cars is on their bodywork. Mercedes needs to put their ego aside and rebuild their bodywork on the way ALL the other teams have gone.

[@fronk5082]

So happy to get the full pod back on here!

[@Lastname6955]

Already so close to 300k guys!

[@kamilozw86]

Almost 300k subs. Great job guys💪

[@tHebUm18]

I appreciate the new humbleness towards Logan Sargant after all the preseason stuff. Lads forget he very nearly prevented Piastri from having his pristine F4/F3/F2 wins if not for some misfortune in the F3 home stretch. F2 last season showed he has the pace, hopefully just doesn't make the errors he did there.

[@ekkycecil3836]

Matt and Tommy make F1 that much more enjoyable. Always looking forward to this after every race. Good job gents 👍

[@davidwatson3063]

I just had a panic attack. I went to wtf1 to listen to the race review and straight away noticed you guys had gone. So glad you started up a new channel. Following and subscribed.

[@princemay73]

Did you know that Max went into race management after Turn 10 on Lap 1? That’s how quick RB was this weekend. If he had pushed from the beginning, he would have definitely finished a full lap ahead of the next non-RB car

[@illbeV]

That should not be celebrated. Another period of total dominance like that would spell the end of F1

[@princemay73]

@@illbeV I’m sorry but why shouldn’t it be celebrated? Any team that has worked hard into out-developing their opponents deserves high praise. We can talk about Merc and RB dominance all we want but they dominated/are dominating because they aced the new regulations and continue to be a step ahead of their opponents.

[@randomd286]

@@illbeV At least up to this point, I'm not sure I would call it RB dominance. Rather, I feel like its been more a story of Ferrari snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[@no1washerezz]

@@princemay73 because there is no competition at the top. i dont care who it is, seasons like 2022, 2020, etc simply has no competition and the only interesting part is the fight between ferrari, mercedes and AMR. f1 will basically be a race to see who finishes behind verstappen or perez...

[@tamoghnadas8581]

​@@illbeV it wouldn't have been so if merc build a better car instead of a 🚜

[@polyrhythmmage7995]

love that this podcast is back for the year

[@Meatman30000]

Love the intro, Matt. Feels like home. :)

[@hammerpaw7338]

I loved that battle between Alonso and Hamilton! Hopefully more of that this season, two goats going at it! 😊

[@orbit1894]

apart from RB, AMR, Merc and Ferrari, every remaining car is a backmarker now, they've all merged this year. The new midfield is AMR, Merc and Ferrari. As a sidenote, as Fernando said, the new AMR is completely new and its the most basic version yet. Now that they're certain the base car is good I can see them outdeveloping both Ferrari and Mercedes since they need to figure out what went wrong.

[@darthsnarf]

I don't really disagree but I think we need to see 2 more races before we start pegging down the order, but red bull does seem to be clear

[@ThePixelMicros]

You have been putting out great contend so excited for this season of p1!❤

[@kentalbertawrex]

alonso passing hamilton then using DRS to pull away- class.

[@TheBez85]

Will be interesting to see what AM do with upgrades, considering Alonso stated they had an aggressive upgrade programme for this season, and considering how much they improved last season with them.

[@daniguay88]

Short answer for the thumbnail: Yes Long answer: Yes, but they'll have to work on the car, (hopefully the upgrades start to gain effect for saudi arabia)

[@09csr]

It is also fully possible in e.g. Monaco or Singapore, where car performance isn't as important. And Monaco, in particular, put great emphasis on tyre management. Baku has historically also been atrack where Force India/Racing Point always used to do well.

[@theggeffen]

[@kamui004]

26:28 If McLaren continues like this, I think Piastri might regret all the drama of not signing a contract with Alpine.

[@junsengjs]

To be fair, Alpine didn't even give him a contract until after he signed the Mclaren one.

[@mintoxace5571]

People need to stop this narrative. Oscar had no contract from Alpine more than half way through the season so he had go get one. Mclaren offered him a deal so he took it. Anyone with a brain would do the same if faced with not racing

[@saiboddupalli]

I think the contract on offer would have been a Williams seat (via Alpine) and even that seems a better deal than mclaren now

[@junsengjs]

@@saiboddupalli It probably would have been, but unfortunately that contract never materialised.

Funny how Gasly is not even mentioned after Matt said he'll bust this season and Ocon will destroy him.

[@rakkel6061]

As much as Ferrari are getting "all the same" calls with Charles' DNF, I truly feel that they put him in a really good position with strategy by saving the tires. Without the DNF, he gets a podium and keep Aston Martin behind, which was looking hard to do without having done that as seen by Carlos. So I actually feel like Ferrari made a good call that they kept to.
