Formula 1 is the fastest growing sport in the world. Fans from all around the world watch the fastest cars in the world fight each other neck and neck in a 22-race championship. Or, at least that’s what it’s supposed to be. In reality, the last two years have been dominated by one team; Red Bull who’s dominance is breaking almost every record in the sport. So how do they do it? And is it a problem for Formula 1’s business?
👋This is just our first of many F1 videos to come. Couple things I should clarify:
1. Mercedes did indeed win the "Constructors (or team) championship" in 2021, Red Bull won the "drivers championship". I should've clarified the difference between the two. (TY to those that pointed that out)
2. While Red Bull is winning everything on the track, they are doing their very best to lose Off the track 👉 SkyNews/status/17...
For those of you that want even more details about how these cars work and driver's styles I really encourage you to check out Scott's channel @Driver61 !

Another thing not mentioned that some viewers may be unfamliar with about Max is that he is into sim racing. He pretty much has a built in sim setup in his apartment with a fridge of redbulls beside him and the 2021 World driver's championship in top of it. There's entire compilations of him stream racing while his girlfriend's daughter is in the background. Like he bleeds racing both on and off track. There's a philosophy of "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" meaning you win a race to market yourself better, while Max's philosophy is basically "Win on Sunday, Race on Monday", he wins and then after winning he goes straight to the digital version to keep racing

[@nomiguda]

He is also an admirer of sportscar racing, and has said he will be in sportscars after F1 before. Sportscars are the cars that race at Le Mans, a french race, the most famed in Endurance Racing, celebrating it's 101st anniversary this year. He also has ownership of a GT3 team which he wants to put gifted sim racers into real cars. Socialcredit is right, Max's life is racing. He bleeds it.

[@DevonSherwood]

I haven’t seen it myself but I’ve heard that he also has a sim setup on his jet so he can race while he travels to and from races.

I think the biggest "problem" in F1 is Max. When he, like many other GOAT tier drivers (Hamilton, Vettel, Schumacher, Senna...), gets the right tools underneath him, he's unstoppable and most of all unbelievably consistent. Take him out of the car and we have an exciting season. Schumacher won every third race in a span of 14 years (1992-2006), and winning a championship every other year. Lewis broke countless records driving the same Mercedes Bottas did, and no one looked at Bottas and thought "that's a dominant car". Lewis made it look dominant, so does Max make the RedBull look untouchable. Let's start giving Max the praise he deserves. Great video, btw.

He WON Monaco and was on iRacing 40 minutes after the podium ceremony ended.... The RB is fast, but as Perez shows, its not everything. Not like in Merc's dominant days where both cars were >20s ahead of the rest of the grid. This is a situation of a generational driver in the fastest car.

Also one of the things that makes the RedBull car dominat, is because they have one of the best, if not the best car designer in F1 history, and his name is Adrian Newey. He won multiple Constructors Championships with Williams and McLaren and now with RedBull when Sebastian Vettel was there and now Verstappen

[@sherlockmaverick]

Not just Adrian, however. While Adrian has been a key factor, he just provides an overarching look over the entire team's operations, while the hundreds of engineers the team employees, including Technical Director Pierre Wache, lead the main engineering of the car. He has mainly only been involved on the suspension side, but that was one of his key involvements, given his former experience with ground effect cars (including his thesis on the same) emphasising the need for a good suspension system to ensure proper aerodynamic operation.

[@kammyyedor4225]

The other things about Max and why his pairing with Red Bull works so well are: 1. He practices racing all the time. With the sim and on track. 2. The RB car is prone to oversteering and he does really well when placed in a car with lots of oversteer.

What i think is interesting is when the drivers were asked what they would do if they wearnt an F1 driver, only Max said we would want to race or be a part of racing as something else. Only other person who said something like that was Fernando who mentioned we would like to be a cyclist. Max is a racer and nothing else, if he isn’t driving a car he is SIM racing and he’s one of the best sim racers in the world too. This guy’s consistency comes from the ridiculous amount of time he spends on track in game.

I realize this video is just a primer for non-fans, but the cavalier editing is pretty poor. Max passes Perez at the end of the Kemmel straight because he has DRS, not because he's a superior driver in an identical car (though that is true). Plenty of true examples exist of Max being way ahead of Perez on pace, making one up isn't necessary.

[@dicki97]

Americans have issues watching f1 but can watch nascar/football with 39 commercial no prob. Think its an attention span thing.

[@TheMcIke]

​@@dicki97 I think most Americans hate ads. So, yea, it may be an attention span thing in that we hate having to watch commercials for products we don't want while we wait to go back to the action. My issue with last week's race was that it was boring. Max rockets off the line and that's it, game over... Lollipopman F1 Comics take on it was spot on: they could have started playing the Dutch National Anthem before the lights went out. I don't watch NASCAR, so that stereotype doesn't apply. I do watch IndyCar, IMSA Sports Cars, 24 Horus of Le Mans, and the Tour de France and find the ads on those broadcasts to be very frustrating. It sucks having the action interrupted by a commercial. And I'll be honest, I DVR those just so I can skip the ads. Since NBC and Paramount/CBS now stream European football without commercial breaks, I enjoy watching those matches (though again, I sometimes DVR things, especially mid-week matches which overlap my workday, just so I can skip the halftime report [Paramount is nice in that they don't even include a halftime report in their replay streams]). I think the pace of American football is to slow because of the commercials. The NHL does better by limiting commercial breaks to 3 per period (first stoppages in play after every 4-minutes, 10-miknutes, and 16-minutes of game clock time each period). And just to repeat; I may not be a stereotypical American, but my issue was that the race was boring. I have no problem watching from lights-out to the podium ceremony, if the race is interesting. I don't find watching mid-field and back-markers entertaining...

[@dontworry1302]

@@dicki97 If someone is willing to sit through 39 commercials for the entertainment, that would indicate a much higher attention span, so not sure what your point is. There is just far less happening in F1 when compared to a series like NASCAR where the cars travel in a large pack most of the time.

[@Kinuhbud]

​@@dicki97 that really nothing to do with what was said... I believe his point was if it wasn't one team dominating over and over, then it's some other team. Makes me think of the Premier league and how... how many different teams have won in the last couple decades? Also, american football requires a long attention span, as it's really a game about attrition IMO. Of course it has it's big highlights and plays, but the game is really strategic and about setting a pace. Time spent possessing the ball tends to equal victory. Every sport is cool when you really get into it. I think basketball is the coolest, but some people hate it.

Bragantino has a small fanbase here in Brazil, so most of the teams and media ignore Red Bull. It's evident that the team is better managed now than before, and with less money, they are usually among the top five in the national league (although they have yet to win anything relevant). Overall, I would say Red Bull has a positive image in Brazil. I don't know any Bragantino fans myself, so I can't say for sure if they liked it, but it was a second division team before Red Bull acquired it, so probably yes.

A brief summary to the answer of the questions at 1:19: How does RedBull dominate F1? They dominate with a combination of 4 factors: car, driver, team, and competition. Without a fast car a fast driver and good team will be like Aston Martin never able to get wins. Without a good team a fast driver and fast car will be like Ferrari always making mistakes costing wins. Without a fast driver the car’s potential won’t be realized; (Perez finished so far being Max it looked like he was in a different car). Therefore if the competition is lacking in any of those 3 areas then they’ll never fight for the championship. Wins occasionally but never the championship. Is it a problem for the world’s fastest growing sport? Both yes and no. Since the beginning of F1 there has always been a dominant team or driver. Whether it be over a single year or multiple years there’s always been dominance. So this is nothing new. But it’s not good for the non racing fan. A racing fan will always watch the battles for p3, p7, even p19; because they love cars racing against each other. And that’s not dependent on position. The casual fan will watch for the racing but mostly for the headlines. Who’s winning, how close is p1 and p2. Anything else is boring to them, and since F1 is marketing to the casual then yes it is boring. And will ALWAYS continue to be until F1 becomes a spec series. Where all the cars are equal, and the team matters less.

Good video in the main but you omit a lot of basic and important things to note, and get some odd things wrong. Like that random clip of Max Verstappen passing teammate Sergio Perez with DRS. Why include that as proof of how quick Verstappen is? Anyone can overtake with DRS against a sitting duck and including stuff like that in your video kind of undermines any credibility you bank with the good aspect of this video.

Red Bull "simply" have the best people in every department. Designers, mechanics, strategists, drivers, they all are top notch. So they built the best car, race it in the most effective way, make few mistakes, and have the best driver. No wonder that they win everything. But other teams could become just as good. (well, maybe except the driver)

Great stuff, hope you get a million subscribers as soon as possible

Max's dad is so jealous that his son is legendary he's literally trying to destroy Max's legacy. What a total knob and loser former f1 driver who couldn't even win 1 race.

[@thecrazygoblin3794]

Beautiful video!

[@Theycallmepango]

Looking forward to more!!!!!!! Thanks search party!

[@ob1quixote]

I watched every race for decades until the Abu Dhabi Screwjob in 2021. I won't watch again as long as the current ownership remains in effect.

​@@mimict7811Be lucky you are not in Instagram otherwise I would have said the worst shit

[@marnoux]

Wow this was brilliant. Completely factual and honest. Really appreciate this!

[@christiangarcia4782]

Sam you're amazing! Another banger lol

[@zikadebakin103]

Nice video ❤ Pla do a video about afcon

[@jacekatalakis8316]

This is arguably where the radio shines. I listen to the races on the radio and the BBC 5 Live crew (I dunno if you can get the feed without some trickery) don't just focus on Max. Once Max got off out into the lead in Jeddah, they were focusing on the main points of the race, Ollie Bearman and how he was doing, the jump start for Lando (that wasn't one), they had a strategist alongside to explain why teams did or didn't do a strategic call, and went through the field and threw it to the pits when it was appropriate. They managed,. last year, to make Monaco actually exciting with Harry having fun with the Haas actually being on the wrong end of the overtakes. He'll be callling the races at Imola and two others so on the world feed you'll get to hear how fantastic he is. Makes me wonder who the radio side got to fill in for him now. Probably Jolyn Palmer, who is actually really good on the radio

Love the content - any chance you would consider reviewing the history, development and current state 0:02 of the foil for surf foiling, downwind foiling, and wing foiling ?

[@pvtests8248]

incredible quality!!!

[@AdarshKumar-kj8oh]

Great informative video man.

[@enochmogusu8573]

Great video!

[@ShadowWizard123]

The editing in these videos is next level.

Absolutely awesome video, this channel is becoming one of my favorites by each new video.

[@Llamacowking99]

Love this collab as Ive been a long time Driver61 fan and just got into Search Party via Johnny

[@VisualFrank]

Well done 🙌

[@Horvathkristof00]

I would say a big part of RedBull/Max dominance is Adrian Newey (Chief Technology Officer at RedBull). He mostly designs the car with the help of other engineers of course. He always had an outstanding understanding of floor designing compared to other engineers in different teams and he is known as the best car designer in Formula 1.

[@soumyajeetchakrabarty6872]

This has been insightful

[@theotad933]

Great episode...just a suggestion...dont you want to do the 2021 season which was full of controversy 😊

[@AustinAlex]

That 2021 clip - I still don't have the courage to view it, I just skipped it. It was traumatic and still is. Good explanation S/P

[@GMulls94]

Great video! I've gotten into F1 recently and I didn't really understand the engineering behind why Red Bull are so dominant. Explained it very well!

[@jameswhee]

Massively stoked to have just joined Red Bull Racing 😌

[@FirstOfTheMagi]

Another great video keep em up!

[@mthokozisimyende787]

Suprised it took yall this long to make a F1 Video😂😂 Love the channel, Keep up the great content

[@Yosh1az]

You should make a video about the rise in manufacturer interest in the WEC since the inception of the new category in 2021, the Hypercar class.

[@thePeoplesChief]

The crossover I didn't know I wanted but I needed.
