[@azab515]

Andi S apart from todays race :D

[@andis9076]

Max did double moves, shut the door and brake hard. So when you're directly behind another car, the front wing lose significant down force so less grip under braking. It's Max fault.

[@azab515]

Andi S i agree with you but why were the commentators saying it was ricciardos fault? It did kind of look like he didnt have a real window to overtake but then i can see max cut him off both sides

Another factor is psychological. It can be very mentally taxing on the driver ahead to have a faster car behind trying to get by. Not only having to focus on the correct racing line as normal but also keeping track of the rival car's location. A driver behind can try and provoke mistakes via feints and being a general nuisance in the mirrors of the car ahead.

This is Spot on. In my Opinion Ricciardo is currently the best Overtaker on the Grid. Not just because of his Braking abilities, but mostly because he's a Master in forcing People off the Line, as you explained in this Video. He's opportunistic too and misjudges very rarely, whilst still being agressive. Yes, i'm aware of the Fact that i sound like a Fangirl. But seriously....how can you not like Ricciardo

[@Reydriel]

I'm not surprised he has fangirls lmao. But you're completely right!

[@MartijndeRondeDesigner]

i mean how can u hate him he alwasy fckin smiles even when his engine stops he still smiles like how

[@Ruiner89]

The thing I like about him the most is how clean of a racing driver he is despite how aggressive his moves are. You will rarely see him make a mistake, lock a wheel, run wide, make contact with an opponent etc etc. Please Red Bull or another top team, give this guy a championship winning car!

[@TangoNevada]

You have to be superior at overtaking when driving an inferior car. Sure he had better tires at that point, but so did other drivers.

[@ouaisgro2502]

[@DenwarTheoriginal]

Ricciardo's has the best racecraft of any of the drivers. His skill goes well beyond overtaking & braking. His wheel to wheel racecraft is incredible, a great example to check out is his 2017 race in Monza where he went 3 wide (middle) thru Turns 1 & 2 while avoiding any contact (race start or lap 1?). That same race is also a good example of his overtaking as well.

I agree that Ricciardo is a good overtaker. But several of his moves are dive bombs.

[@stephencooper5155]

Agreed. I like both drivers but let's be honest the only difference in the Verstappen/Vettel and Ric/Bottas overtake attempts was Bottas got out of the way

[@Midori_Ringo]

I think you need to look again. Yeah it's a dive bomb but it's under control. Bottas moves right to squeeze Daniel which he is allowed to do, but he has to allow space. Look at the position of Daniel's car prior to the apex and turn in. He is side by side front wheel to front wheel prior to the turning into the corner. As stated in the video "the dominant position". The Verstappen move on Vettel look at where Verstappen is as Vettel turns in and is trying to hit the apex and the point of impact 1/2 way around the chicane. Verstappen barely got his front wheels alongside Vettel's rear wheels. He failed to set up the move on the inside earlier and was caught in no-man's land ie he failed to establish dominant position. Because Daniel setup the move early, Bottas was aware of where he is and doesn't turn into him. It's a bad decision on Verstappen's part as he has an easier pass anyway right after the end of the corner with having the traction advantage out of the corner. This relates back to the section of the video "study your rival" clearly Vettel was struggling for traction so it was an ill advised moved to try that there

[@grahamserle7930]

Correct. And great drivers have that instinct and awareness. Danny Ric has done this many times and rarely comes to grief. That's the difference between a good and a great driver.

[@Midori_Ringo]

Oh and if you're saying Vettel should of moved, why should he? He has the dominant position into that corner and they are fighting for position. Even if he could Max doesn't even make a move until Vettel has turned in so it's impossible for Vettel to let him through even if he wanted to. Once vettel turned in the overtaking opportunity at that corner is effectively over.

[@pixlpionier]

Well, the reason that Ricciardo’s move on Bottas succeeded was because Bottas eventually didn’t turn into the corner when he could, knowing that they would collide if he would. That overtake could have easily retired both drivers.
