2024 F1 Brazilian GP Race Reaction (a perfect day of F1)

[@ycaglaya]

Matches first "lap of the gods" of Senna. No DRS, No fastest car, monsoon rain, No mistakes, 17 fastest laps, 20 sec lead. Probably one of the top 3 drives ever...

[@joostprins3381]

Lando effed himself, he was calling for a pit stop, the team said no, but he kept asking and they gave in and so he made his own “luck”.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

I mean, it was understandable given the weather was becoming extreme, but McLaren should've insisted. That shows lack of trust from both sides.

[@raghvendrapratapsingh2585]

@@quentinhirschfeld9382 McLaren did insist for almost 8 laps. But Lando kept whining about it.

[@lepepobungoo836]

Max showed again why he is the reigning world champion. That was just masterclass from him and the team. It was funny watching max serting 17 fastest laps right after an other, he made an awesome statement

[@screamified409]

I was watching max his onboard the whole race and thus heard the radio, he actually said himself he wanted to stay out the moment before the red flag. GP also told him the heavy rain would last for 4 min and he just wantes to stay out. His tires were just still good as well, so he didnt really care about new tires it seemed.

[@formularobyn]

I think a lot of teams seem to forget that new inters require an amount of warm up to work properly. Which is why everyone was crashing under or just after the safety cars.

[@johanfeenstra8778]

@@formularobyn With other words Max did his homework. He is smart and knows the consequenses of decisions. Lando was more in a panic mode. Not thinking just like the start , he does not know the rulebook.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

It's great to see someone who watches the race paying attention to the time split and what drivers are doing. You're one of the rare who picked up how good of a race Ocon drove and what was Max doing with his inputs. All TOP 3 were the star of that race imo, it's so rare to see the genuinely 3 best drivers of the day on the podium.

[@formularobyn]

I think Yuki was pretty good as well. One of the few who didn't make a mistake himself and was only screwed by pitting after the VSC.

[@justsomenormalgirlwithanorm]

Wow, I actually love your reaction. It's so nice to see someone actually non bias and smart person reacting to races! Keep going

[@Richardtv1968]

It wasn’t McLaren’s fault, Lando again decided to come in himself,he was already asking some times for new tyres …… he isn’t able to read the race. Max has much more processing power whilst driving

[@Richardtv1968]

As Adrian Newey said Verstappen has a mental capacity surplus ….. he can drive under pressure and still make the correct tactical decisions, thinking about the best team strategy etc

[@MagicMushroom1971]

Robyn you are a F1 expert. Great video!

[@tinustussengas-zu9gx]

This has nothing to do with Max's new engine at all. In the rain you almost have to drive with an egg under your accelerator pedal, so to speak, and make sure that it remains intact, so he could never have used full power because then he would not have been able to keep it on the track

[@sulvanarosic574]

100% thanks for having common sense

[@arTApophis]

The most amazing drive I have seen in my life (watching for about 25 years now). With all the mental draining drama against him last months caused by the FIA and media and getting screwed this entire weekend as well, not having the fastest car (anymore), weather conditions on an insane level, himself calling the correct strategy on the pitstop, not making a single mistake while all other best drivers (Hamilton, Alonso, Lec, etc) going off left and right, fastest lap after lap after lap, overtaking the entire field while others barely can overtake 1 car the whole race, no teammate to help him, under pressure by the championship competitor getting closer and closer each weekend for months where if he would make 1 mistake he would lose the championship and... last but not least starting 17th to finish 1st winning by almost 20 seconds. One of the best, maybe even the best F1 drive ever.

[@pvdrijdt]

fantastic vlog. Had a lot of fun watching. Thanks very much.

[@laurenh6668]

Loved this! It was fun seeing someone watch it almost impartially. Mad Max was back! 🎉

[@Ns-071]

He was eleventh because he had to lift for the yellow flags. You can't seriously suggest he wouldn't be better than p11 in qualifying if he had a whole lap without interruptions. Luckily he silenced everybody in the race.

[@KyleClarke-pj4dp]

I'd love to see a series on your channel where you rewatch past F1 races like Hockenheim 2019, Belgium 1998, Brazil 2003 and 2016

[@nlborix]

Max has much respect for Charles and it shows. I love it too when they race each other. Max can not unhinge Charles, like he does to Lando or Louis. You should watch Max vs Charles karting and reactions in their youth, hilarious.

[@formularobyn]

He pushed me, I pushed him, and after he pushed me off the track. Its not fair - eh.

[@msvanveen]

@@formularobyn Charles, what happened with Max? Nothing, just an inchident 😂

[@AnoesiQ]

It’s was Max’s decision to stay out.

[@johnkochen7264]

Lando Norris was bummed because Max Verstappen and the two Alpines did not box but took advantage of the red flag. This is pretty silly of him because, at that point of the race, conditions being what they were with any number of fair weather drivers, it was a safe bet that there would be more red flags.

[@formularobyn]

Yup. It was a calculated risk by Max and the Alpines to stay out and it paid off.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

33:00 ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON analysis.

[@raghvendrapratapsingh2585]

It was more on Lando not McLaren. Lando was constatly asking to pit for 7-8 laps. His engineer had to tell him that Charles is Stuck in traffic after his pit stop. Even after that Lando was asking for pit stop.

[@Frazec_Atsjenkov]

33:00 The drivers decided to stay out or go in, not the pitwall. I feel for George though, he went in while knowing staying out was the better probability.

[@morbid1.]

Lando is lucky FIA didn't blast him with penalty... which is very weird because checo got penalty for wrong position in the box instantly...

[@formularobyn]

Honestly yeah. The more I think about it and how unsafe it was for him to have done that lap in those conditions the more I think there should have been a much harsher penalty. Someone could have easily crashed at the same corner as Lance and with the tractor right there… Could have been a repeat of Suzuka 2014.

[@mcorrelje]

[@Lcster]

20:47 before they pull him in the pits lando said 1-2 laps before that " its too wet, we need to box" while max said " if its only 4 minutes(rain) ill stay out".... lando is probably scared that sochi is gonna happened again. so no, lando did that to himself.

Dear Robyn you were a joy to see and to listen to this time. You read the races as a professional. Back in the days you were not very complimentary about Max and that is understandable from a girl that adores poster-boy Charles (the king of dreamy eye-lashes), but this time you were reasonably kind-hearted about Max. So thank you and best greetings from Amsterdam.

[@formularobyn]

Don't get me wrong there are still some things I don't like about Max (see Mexico 2024 reaction). But I have come to appreciate that at least he is a good sport, can respect when other drivers are better than him on a day rather than just putting it down to "luck", and can separate what happens on and off the track for the most part.

[@Minifliek]

@@formularobyn I don't think Max is always very likable, he can be a prick at times and angry Max can drive on and over the limit. Gotta respect his skill though, I don't think it's possible to deny that part. I don't really like Lando or Lewis but I massively respect their pace and racecraft.

[@Richardtv1968]

Ocon went so fast because of clear sight, the rest had massive sprays

[@Not_Thebadguy]

Rain is like a deity in f1, and not necessarily good or evil either. Sometimes it gives us Spa 2021, but sometimes it gives us Interlagos 2024 😂

[@formularobyn]

Truly. And the line between the two is paper thin

[@ssadonnelly]

1. We saw the best of Verstappen and the worst of Norris on Sunday. Max channelled his aggression in a very controlled way, Norris again showed his "fugue state" with decision making and then his "not talent just luck" comment was pure cringe. 2. Ferrari's lack of pace here was a talking point especially after them saying recently that "they had found a sweet spot maybe at around 90% of peak performance but gave the car lots of compliance and gave it a wide operating window" Also they said after qualifying they had a wet weather setup, strange ! ? 3. I have never been a big fan of these pseudo ground effect regulations and I think it showed its self in this race with a relative lack of overtaking despite the conditions (some of it was the new value added bumps) The issue I see is that these cars are very much one line now.

[@formularobyn]

Norris can be such an entitled little shit sometimes. It’s truly why I’ve lost respect for him this year. I HATE bad sportsmanship. Yeah not sure what happened with Ferrari this weekend. I mean Sainz failed because of lack of talent in the wet, but Charles was no where in the dry or the wet. I think these cars are good in dry weather but useless in wet conditions. Too much spray.

[@dylanburston7453]

@@formularobyn Ferrari have a smaller turbo than everyone else, which gives max power faster, which is why they are so good at street tracks and out of slow corners. But i imagine that makes it harder to drive in the wet, as you are getting lots of power quicker when you want it more progressive. All the Ferrari powered cars struggled. Charles described it as digital after the race. (edit) Carlos was also sent out on used inters after the red flag

[@Richardtv1968]

In the rain the car isn’t that important anymore, it is all driver skills ….. so Verstappen,Ocon, Gasly and Leclerc showed they are great drivers!

[@theWurz]

hi lady.... you got it 100% spot on. So much repect for you on you perfect commentary :-) Are you doing a live commentary during the race (twitch, etc)?

[@thamasdk8727]

In a race where pretty much everyone else made some sort of mistake to take them of track Verstappen didnt and that was reallty impressive and overall it was a thoroughly impessive drive that shows why he is a 3 time world champion and will win the championship this year too. That being said, I am not as blow away about this race as others seem to be. For one, he didnt really start as p17, Albon never made it to the start, Sainz started from the pitlane and Stroll did as stroll does best and never made it to the start. So he effectivly started p14 whioch is still impressive, however Perez and Lawson were in front of him who was never going to and never did try to race him. Then the VSC happened, after which Ocon pulled away from him by several seconds in a couple of laps proving how big of an advantage being 1st was before the red flag. Then he caught Ocon of guard at the restart, which he did very well. Again a really impressive drive by Max, but I still dont think its right to say that he won from p17 on the grid.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

Correction, he started P15 (but started on the P16 grid spot because Stroll only crashed in the formation lap), then he overtook 12 cars on track (Pérez didn't let him by, he just took a worse start and Lawson was actually trying to close the door when he realized Max went up the inside, albeit i tought he was letting him by) while setting the fastest lap (remember than he never went over 15 seconds away from the race lead despite battling and being in the spray). Of course, there was a luck component, but he and his team made the decision to stay out predicting that the race was going to be interrupted and he just tried to survive. The, last restart, surprised Ocon and pulled a 19 seconds gap with 17 consecutive fastest laps (record in the hybrid era), i think that says it all.

[@MadmonkeyOz]

WTAF Sauber gets fastest pitstop! As a Lotus/Renault/Alpine tragic, it warms my black heart to get a double podium plus Esteban's and Pierre's interviews. I thought Lando's "lucky not talent" was churlish. RBR (Max) and Alpine decided to stay out on used inters in the worst conditions. That was talent, and I don't think these 3 went off-track. Lando wanted to pit, while George wanted to stay out as he expected a red flag (overruled by Mercedes). Not a Max fan, but this was a masterclass, while Lando buckled. Seeing RB drop to 8th 😂. Stroll embarrassing Canada since 2017. Congrats on getting 100 new followers. Repping the DR merch.🤘🏾

[@knowledgeablechad]

Norris is almost out of the contention only because of him

[@David_C_83]

I couldn't be bothered to up at dawn for qualifying but I guess I missed out on something good there as well! As for the race, it was the chaotic race I expected, I'm glad they actually gave them a chance to go at it under the rain up until the Colapinto crash. I expected Max to make a comeback but I never expected a win, that was truly a championship drive with a hint of luck with the red flag but you saw what I saw as well, it was going red sooner or later with the amount of water! Incredibly happy for Alpine, I love seeing those surprise good results from smaller teams that would normally not have a chance to do as well. McLaren and Norris gave it a fair shot this year but I think the analysis others have made has shown that despite all the troubles RedBull had, they were never able to cut Max's lead as much as they could've. They'll definitely need to have a look at what they did and how to end where they end, it's all a learning experience in the end and who knows what the future will hold for them.

[@formularobyn]

I think they have learned a lot from this year and Ferrari learned a lot from 2022. We'll see next year who does a better job of making changes.

[@lousekoya1803]

Hit the like and sub everyone for our F1 lady !

[@mondexponent2126]

i mean it was a generational drive by Max. But without Colapinto Crashing causing the red flag it wouldve been a different race. Lando couldve stayed out of the pit. But nobody was expecting somebody to crash on the main straight during the SC. I dont think he fckd himself as much as other say. It was just extremely unlucky like it was for Max during qualy

[@formularobyn]

It’s tough to know if the race would have been red flagged without the crash. The weather cleared up fairly quickly after the red flag so I’m guessing the FIA was hoping to stay under safety car long enough for the weather to clear. I still think a crash was pretty inevitable tho.
