I wouldn't have risked a blowout for a chance to win gain of few loss on many

[@sbinnala14]

Of course not pitting Verstappen was an error, but with Valtteri having the puncture and vibration we all just assumed they were related. Any other situation you pit for fastest lap,. Nobody ever says “Oh they shouldn’t have pit for fastest lap just in case the leaders tires explode. I mean. You just simply can’t criticize them for boxing and going for that extra point when no one has any reason to believe Lewis would have a tire failure. Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but in that situation I think the reasonable option would’ve been bringing him in.

[@2blkSSs]

Haha honestly who cares cause it was awesome to watch! I’m glad everybody made the decision that they did. It turned the entertainment value up to 11. Even my wife was standing in my living room yelling for Max to hurry up hahaha... it was awesome to watch.

Red bull made the right call in my opinion. They still gained a position, and max was on his tyres for the same amount of laps as Lewis. Sometimes the safe call is the right one. And I fully expect and hope for a lot of 2 stop strategies for the 70th GP. That'll make things more interesting I hope. Maybe Mercedes does another German GP mess up in the pits lol. One can hope.

I disagree. When your Rivals are so far ahead on pace you have to be willing to take a risk when you get a chance, otherwise RB will never win a race this season. Max isn't fighting for the title so they had very little to lose.

[@shreeshashastry4713]

Redbull and Verstappen were actually into the fastest lap from the beginning as there was healthy distance between him and Leclerc but when Bottas got puncture they were into securing second position and fastest lap together so they made the pitstop I actually don't think there's *controversial* about that pitstop

[@seb9940]

Yeah this is just another video that wants to make it controversial. How is max telling his tire isnt looking/feeling great not valid. I mean Ham engineer didnt see anything wrong at the data otherwise he would have said it, and yet lewis tire failed. Bit suddenly when max his engineer tells him its fine max opinion isnt much more worth?

[@darkmatter6714]

I think he’s referring to the practice of teams popping in to change tyres just for getting the extra point for fastest lap being a controversial move in F1 generally, not that Red Bulls decisión in this race was controversial.

[@twinkharrylwt226]

Dark Matter yeah but the options were: Don’t change tite: Best outcome: win the race as louis get a puncture.. Wordt outcome: get a puncture himself and no points or worse points than 2nd Get a tire change: Best outcome: win race with louis’ his puncture (sadly didn’t happen) Worst outcome: get 2nd with fastest lap If they analyse on the risks and benefits i think the tire change is a steady and safe kne..

[@CYMotorsport]

Thankful for everyone helping me improve. been a long journey but a much much longer one ahead. cheers!

[@josiahpetz5770]

At the time, Red Bull pitting Verstappen was absolutely the right decision. Pit to get the extra point, don't lose a position with Leclerc so far back, and guard against your own tyre blowout. Making a decision based on Hamilton's tyre doing the same as Bottas would've been a very risky gamble, with an unlikely gain of 7 points, but a high risk of losing 18. Going for the almost no risk strategy (the same amount of risk as any pit stop like a wheel not attaching properly) which gains 1 point and will almost certainly lose no points was definitely the better strategy. Also I'm really liking your legendary turns shirt, I'm surprised F1 hasn't sold something like that on the F1 store!

[@QuinnsterYT]

@@CYMotorsport what did they blow? the 1 point extra they could have had if they had pit hamilton?

[@xeakpress]

@@CYMotorsport 100% agree. Also for Redbull the risk v reward wasnt too favorable for them IMO. Is it possible Max could have won yes but its, just as likely (given the incidents on track) he has delamination and plummets back same as Bottas and Carlos. That given that Alex really seemed to be struggling would have meant another very bad day in terms of points which (to me) is incredibly relevant given the first race doubke DNF

[@xeakpress]

@@QuinnsterYT Merc was comfortably outaide the pit window. He could have pitted for fresh rubber. Gotten fastest lap and won

[@keshavsakthi546]

@@xeakpress Yupp but I think lewis just felt that there was no need to pit. He says to Bono after crossing the flag that the tyre felt alright and he never thought there was an issue with it and that he must have hit something on the track. For all that happened, I guess without Bottas's tyre going off, Lewis would have tried for a fastest on the same tyres, I could only imagine how that would have gone

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

I was waiting for this :D As ever, an excellent job. Can't wait for your next vid, you make it sound right up my alley! TBH, though, I don't think RB could have done anything different. They may have had their suspicions that Lewis would get a puncture, but there was no guarantee. Neither was there a guarantee that he'd get one at a point where Max could have enough time to catch him. Pulling him in for a "safe" tyre change (each pit stop has its own risks: wheel gun problems, crossthreaded nut, a stall on the way out... You have to make sure that everything is executed perfectly for it to _be_ a "good idea") was by far and away the most sensible option. And Max did as advertised and got the fastest lap on the last one! Boy, he absolutely floored it and drove a flawless lap. Horner said later that on inspecting the tyre after the race, it had something like 50 "cuts" in it. It could have been one of those things where the cuts/nicks were on the outside of the tyre, not deep enough to give any data that it would blow until it was too late, while at the same time being a ticking time bomb. One lock up & flat spot could have worn through an area with the most cuts in it. I've seen many a sudden blowout in racing, no warnings at all (not even the vibrations that Valtteri etc was talking about), and often at the most inconvenient time. Though poor Valtteri, he didn't deserve that! He'd kept Lewis honest throughout the race, exchanging fastest lap with him time after time (which with hindsight was possibly the cause for the tyre with the heaviest load to blow), but he didn't do anything wrong. He must feel like he crushed a four-leafed clover underfoot, walked under a row of ladders, run over someone's black cat and broken a ton of mirrors! As you said, hindsight is 20:20. I don't think any team could have done anything different _given what they knew at the time,_ except, perhaps, for Merc missing out on calling Lewis in. But then we wouldn't be here talking about one of the most unusual and exciting race endings we've had in quite a while! And to be fair to Lewis, bringing that tyre home over ⅔ of one of the longest laps on the calendar was a feat of incredible skill. It was only in the last corner or two did the tyre let go. Somehow he managed to drive it at the exact speed necessary to hold it together for the majority of the lap. Most mere mortals would have gone too slow and have it deflate completely almost immediately, or in a panic drive too fast and have it do what it did on Carlos' car. Completely blow out and shred the side of the car. In 40+ years of watching F1, I don't think I've ever seen a puncture dealt with so brilliantly. It may have happened, I just either didn't see it or I've forgotten it (which would be unlikely). Rock on this weekend! Though at least we have the crazy FE schedule starting today to keep us going :D

[@CYMotorsport]

Glad to hear you like it and thank you for the feedback! I had to rewatch to really understand how difficult it was for Lewis to bring it in. Truly so much skill. The only reason I thjnk Red Bull might have made that error is to the point you made about Merc. Solely bc they missed out it made Red Bull calling him in questionable. But in a season where you watch Lewis do the unthinkable, you gotta take points

That should make it better race for all us watch. Nice cool, calm and balanced assessment dude...peace to ya.

[@joseanpizarro07]

I thought RB was going to do like Merc did last season at Hungary GP when they got Ham to go into mediums and catching up Verstappen. At the moment Max was gaining on Bottas after complaining about the vibration. But there was also the chance Merc would have pitted Ham and would have kept the lead. Also what are your thoughts on Seb post race radio. I feel bad for him you can tell how Ferrari has drained Seb's confidence and race spirit. I think he has been feeling like that since Sochi GP even possibly since Singapore when he won.

Super interesting takes on this. I appreciate the insight into the decision by Max & co. to pit. Definitely this gives some insight and makes it seem like they ultimately made the right (albeit conservative) call. Where Lewis seems to have made the aggressive call, it backfired, and he somehow managed to pull it off anyway. Is there any insight on the radio about why Lewis decided not to pit even knowing that max had pit? We’re they just totally blindsided by the tyre issue?

[@CYMotorsport]

[@benjaminclehmann]

Lewis does pass a pit lane right before his tyre goes, but that's not the pit lane for the grand prix circuit. He passed the national circuit pit lane right before it blew. I'm relying on memory here as I couldn't find any good onboards on youtube, but it was between brooklands and luffield. The TV camera picked him up at woodcote. He did roughly half a lap on 3 tyres. It was Valterri whose tyre blew up at the "real" pit lane, it died on the apex of vale. Sainz' tyre went between vale and the pit entry, if I recall correctly.

Holy crap, this season has been something else. Your overview video is going to be amazing. Verstappen absolutely should have pitted when he did.

It sucks he didn’t win the race, but again, second place is way better than the wall.

Pitting Max was the correct decision, if Hamilton's tire breaks earlier then Max wins independently of the extra pitstop, if Hamilton's tire breaks later or not at all then Hamilton wins either way.

[@messmeister92]

I don’t think we can fault Red Bell. They made the best decision they could with the information they had. Had Max’s tire gone and he lost places, we’d be sitting here wondering why they didn’t pit after Bottas’ failure.

[@Cheeseatingjunglista]

So, Pirelli are bringing an even softer compound to next race. Cant see anyone wearing those boots after this, maybe Lewis would still win if he was on em though - at the end of this race he had 3 tyres that had run for 39 laps and 1 that had only done 38. On three wheels, Lewis still won. He is the utterly dominant total genius of our era. Cool vid, great analysis

[@TheCrumb74]

Max asks about the front right tyre, it was the front left that failed on the Mercs and McLaren?

[@CYMotorsport]

yep max was very clear about the front right but they said it was in great condition

[@specialK319319]

I'm glad to see most of the comments appear to support Redbull's decision. Lewis stated in interviews that there were no signs his tire was going to fail and at the time there was still some speculation that debris was causing the tires to fail which still might be partially true, as Kvyat's tire seemed to fail way too quickly for it to be wear alone IMO. While a new tire doesn't prevent the chance debris could cause premature failure it does minimize it. It just seems foolish to "risk" it on the assumption that Lewis would have the tire failure he did. You could also argue Lewis' slower lap times were him just trying to care for the tires, not that there was indication something was wrong.

[@HerbieFL]

Bro I can't tell you how heart broken I was when I saw carlos' blow out. McLaren were running so we'll up to then. Seems Carlos got some of Landos luck from last year. Good on Danny for snagging that P4 though.

Yep he did. And Isola said it was questionable. I would imagine most teams had cuts. But I included the radio where they said the data is fine. So I mean, I’d take that at face value more than after the fact when he’s potentially got an agenda but that’s just me

[@wayedk1040]

[@darkmatter6714]

Yet another excellent analysis. After Max pitted my thoughts were split between: whether Mercedes should bring in Lewis to kill two birds with one stone by eliminating the risk and of a blowout and getting the fastest lap point and - with just one lap to go - keeping him out and not risking something going wrong at the pits top. It was a dilemma - one on which a 50/50 snap decision had to be made given the extremely short decision window. Both Mercedes and I chose the wrong one!

@CrankyYankeeF1 I applaud you if you thought what you say there and then, as things were unraveling...because sometimes we forget that the conclusions we come to are post-event...with he benefit of hindsight! I’m really looking forward to the next episode! 👍🏻

[@lancelot848]

With the information they had at that time, I think Red Bull made the right decision, although my initial reaction was the opposite. Lewis was lapping below 1:30 until lap 48, even set a personal best at lap 44 (I think). There were no obvious signs that he had major tyre issues like it was with Valtteri.

0:39 Leclerc's car kinda looks really big

[@BeBobFerrari99]

Dude you look like The Weeknd in the Blinding Lights video

[@CYMotorsport]

Youre welcome.

[@creativecat2763]

You should do a video of the boycott attempts in the 2013 belgian GP

[@abexuro]

I liked the editing a lot more in this video. It felt a lot smoother and more functional. The last one was a bit overdone imo.

[@fergaljb8408]

horner said verstappens tire had many cuts in it and a big groove. It was the right decision imo

[@CYMotorsport]

50 cuts to be specific. but Isola say those were varying in a report yesterday. delamination doesnt tend to happen in 3 laps. usually starts with vibrations. I believe the tyre wasnt prestine but i'd love to see their data haha which will never happen

[@TheMotorMouthPodcast]

So unlucky how close Valtteri was to the pit entry when he got the puncture 😔

[@CYMotorsport]

I have a growing theory and suspicion about that last chicane... Carlos and Valtteri both got clipped there. lewis managed to get further but it actually does get warped there too a bit

[@TheMotorMouthPodcast]

@@CYMotorsport could be, I'm surprised it didn't affect everyone because they all pitted at the same time virtually

Nice, but c'mon man, HAM did not use magic to bring that car home- What HAM did was be insanely cool under pressure, ballsy enough to floor it down the Hangar straight, smart enough to adjust the diff to stop the front left from rotating, experienced enough to immediately understand how to compensate for the massive undeersteer AND being a bit lucky that the rubber stayed roughly in a circle. Its so irritating when analysts who routinely delve into the finest technical details ascribe what HAM does to lazy ideas like "Magic" or "Talent" that cannot be explained or understood.... You are the best on YT for unpacking the second by second sort of fascinating technical details and I was looking forward to you explaining the steering inputs that HAM used, the switches he used and the adjustments that he made (that were visible) to make that last lap happen- This analysis was disappointing given your extremely high standards and you just ascribing this drive to "magic" seems like a cop-out... Its not that. Its HAM's skill, tremendous car control, huge experience, ability to manage his emotions, make good decisions and adapt to that car on the fly and understand the best way to drive it under any and all conditions. Just give the man his due! Put that together and add in luck and its why the man will have triple figures of wins, poles and podiums by the end of the season. Let's not take HAM's ability for granted or pretend like he is not the best technical driver of his generation.... That said, I always enjoy your videos, and look forward to the next one... Cheers!

If this was a Hamilton onboard I would have. It was one word used being pithy, sarcastically even if you listen closer haha. but i hear ya. it's a compliment all on it's own but i'm okay with this criticism bc it's precisely where I drew the line. I understand 100% where you are coming from. and in a way, I think you understand the point of this two. this just seemed more like a request. so i'm taking this as business as usual. the deep deep deeper stuff won't stop. I just needed a platform to weigh out the strategy. The main goal was to explain how Merc was wrong to begin with. red bull iffy. If you follow my twitter, this would make more sense. Real time I predicted this would happen a lap in advance only bc I am so fond of analyzing old races to apply today and adelaide 86 screamed in my head. But yes, if this was for Lewis, it would have been far deeper than your description. and frankly could be justified. His choice of when to truly get on revs, not to mention Bono making it all even worse haha.

[@doctornrsfnly]

@@CYMotorsport fair play and your detailed response both shows my point and reinforces why you are so good at this 😊. That said, you have an excellent point and thanks for listening to mine. Glad that we can have a discussion about this and I look forward to your next video. Cheers!

[@MDthe1st]

It was definitely the correct call to pit Verstappen, the chances of a similar failure happening to Verstappen were just to high for it to be worth it. Also super sad for Carlos and McLaren, they were good enough for a solid double points finish

[@CYMotorsport]

if his tyre showed more signs, I'd be more in that camp. bc the sister car had problems, I get Lewis's tyre. I'd love to see the data on Lando's honestly
