Mercedes' dominance and Ferrari tension at Las Vegas GP explained

[@ethn262]

shoutout to the Renault power unit for using all of it's power to qualify then going bang in the race, another reminder of why they're changing engine suppliers

[@QuewayYT]

Looool 😆😆😆😆 used All there juice for qualy

[@harsharip]

Still can't understand why they want to use it for 2025

[@gpaje]

@@harsharip Too expensive to change it out on a chassis built around it for just 1 year, they can still request upgrades for reliability issues in-between years.

[@lambolim2178]

They are not changing supplier they are stopping the engine production and development

[@Hungary_0987]

And changing the engine supplier from Renault to Mercedes. Your point?​@@lambolim2178

[@andrewa9700]

If you told me Perez, Lawson and K Mag would go into a corner 3 wide with no crash (at a street circuit no less) I would tell you to lay off the drugs but here we are.

[@justinjwolf]

that sequence of corners was absolutely mento

[@soundscape26]

Best thing Perez did all season

[@quadrantalerror1121]

Its Just peak Mercedes absolutely smashing the competition but having no idea why they are so fast lol

[@jtwilliams721]

I think the TV production did a great job showing how fast these car were going. The only exception was the helicopter view.

[@scottmeredith3359]

I was enjoying the aerial shots as they went down the strip in spite of myself. Kept thinking “yeah that’s actually pretty freaking cool”

[@emmanueljamir]

i like the aerial shots on the straights where you can see a car gaining on another

[@guitarsimon1]

TV Direction has improved a lot lately actually, approve of their increased use of PIP to show the live race during replays.

[@georgedanilov8898]

Merc is truly bipolar team this season It’s either 1-2, or they are nowhere to be seen

[@OldeJanner]

Unbelievable you might well imagine.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

I mean they're never bad they're usually 5-6 in their bad days. Still so much better than Aston Martin.

[@whassupg89]

Merc next time: we still don’t get this car

[@PyroBun_2844]

Hamilton going from P10 to P2 AND cooking fastest lap after fastest lap was fun to watch, not bad for someone who’s apperently past their shelf life. Flowers to George too, by far his best drive. Give him a better car.

Lando Norris has fastest lap btw , and I mean he shouldn’t have bottled quali so badly

[@Addyboy0190]

Basically it was so good at being shit that when it was shit for everyone, the Merc performed like a RB19

[@dme2453]

Ferrari even screwed Sainz out of 3 seconds on the botched pit abort. Leclerc thinking he should have finished ahead is laughable.

[@nerdock4747]

Aka "Typical Ferrari strategy".

[@andriusbruzas9211]

What about Charles losing 3s a lap and saying pit me for a few laps. Pretty sure that cost him too.

[@iRaps1]

it's about making rules and being told something, and then the rules being disobeyed. That's literally it. He could've been in a tractor and it's fked to not stick to what you promised you'd do

[@chappie45]

Charles brought the 4th place on himself, going gungho at the start and damaging the tyres. I am not surprised Carlos ignored the team. The team have sacked him.

[@royalpotato6192]

Strange to see the team which seemingly has had unlimited tyres every race all of a sudden be the team that struggles the most with tyrewear...

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

Not that strange with these tyres. There have been many outlier races on these tyres where the usually poor/good at tyre management car just works differently on this surface or at these temperatures.

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

Vegas gaining a reputation for crazy, unpredictable races is about the worst possible scenario. I already have Stockholm Syndrome for Baku's street track ffs, I don't need the cheesiest race on the calendar imprinting on everyone in the same way.

[@BJWT1047]

You could simply watch coverage from just before the formation lap to avoid the cheese 😉

[@gwcrispi]

Why would Sainz do ANYTHING they tell him? These last three races may be the last chance for podiums IN HIS CAREER! Screw Ferrari.

[@sanchezchristopher90]

This Team did a great job at explaining the Ferrari issue.

[@andyknuckles2903]

The choice of sacking Sainz looks more unfortunate by the day

[@sonidojamon]

Nice recap and insight!

[@pooyakhalili406]

I think we need a full video about why Mercedes was so fast in Vegas and why it wasn't affected by graining like everyone else

[@Appletank8]

I think Mercedes barely knows why themselves.

[@Hungary_0987]

​@@Appletank8maybe lol

[@yashpathak1650]

Lewis himself said that the team doesn't know why.

Merc cars works better in cold weather. You're welcome, no need to watch the video now.

[@Adogcallednoortje]

Not watched it all but I think if they can control the bouncing the car is rapid.

[@andriusbruzas9211]

And Charles fighting for earlier first pit is fine. But Sainz asking earlier pit in second stint suddenly makes everything fair and him being screwed over. Charles lost like 10s in 2-3 laps.

[@scottmeredith3359]

Verstappen sealing a title with a rear wing that the team took a sawz-all to is about the most Verstappen thing ever 😂

Why didn't Sainz get a penalty after crossing the pit lane line?

[@ilovelimpfries]

Sainz dgaf because he got booted out. It's probably going to be a while before he'll be in the points again. So, every selfish position this year counts.

[@notorious_nrsa]

Telemetry showed that Sainz after overtaking Max in the last stint, lifted his throttle to keep Max in DRS. Can someone please tell me that Sainz was told to lico on purpose. If he wasn't...

[@clutchyfinger]

Bro literally said "What, it's cold" when we all saw his straight line speed shrink 🥶 Lando please. I know a lot of guys make that excuse but still.

[@Random_User8964]

Can someone explain to me why was hard tyre optimal in such a cold condition? I thought colder weather=softer compound?

[@sas853]

it is not weird, Mercedes does test during winter & spring in UK which is super cold & wet

Absolute domination by Goatappen

[@Khan-ts2ji]

Imagine this: Lewis, for his first race at Ferrari sees Russell and Antonelli finish 1-2 by 20 seconds over the rest. But fortune has followed Lewis wherever he has gone, so I won’t be surprised if it’s a Ferrari 1-2 instead. We don’t know which of the top 4 team will be best next year.

[@TheAztec010]

Why? Most sheet cars work better in the cold!

[@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT]

Lando threw away over 60 points.

[@lucasbraga5581]

Boys, you forgot the belgian flag on the % graphics for single lap pace.

[@70mavgr]

I really don't see why Carlos should do Charles or Ferrari any favors by obeying such orders. In Williams he won't have the chance for podiums. The man races for himself and rightly so.

[@sh-spectrum409]

There’s a theory that because of the Santander sponsorship money Ferrari won’t do anything to Sainz when he goes against the grain

[@Md.WasiHasan]

Because they brought W11 instead of W15

Why Lewis is never happy with podium or whatever? Its like he thinks victory belongs to him and nothing else is good enough. So unpleasant to watch him being all sulky. Makes it hard to like the guy.
