[@johanmat2112]

Definitely deserve a better rating than Australian GP. Lots of overtaking, lots of wheel to wheel racing, strategic battle, pit stop battle, Alonso’s masterclass etc. 7/10 for me.

[@musculusiv4172]

Really? I enjoyed AUS a lot more. No Verstappen made it somewhat open, here almost everything was clear-cut from the beginnig

a 6/10 rating?? the strategies and overtakes were amazing

6 is fair tbh, zero fight for the top 2 places and even the podium was pretty much secure

[@danielmackie6428]

Yes because Brits weren't even close to the podium

[@AnimaDweller]

Let me tell you, I'm honestly excited for Ferrari's future. Vasseur has put together a great team, yesterday they had an amazing strategy for both drivers and that car also looks better after each race. It's crazy how long Leclerc's tires hold up. 2025 looking promising.

[@karanthakker7434]

I agree with everything except that Leclerc's tires holding up is more of a testament to Leclerc's driving than just the car, though the car is also a big factor in it

[@larifari_das]

Max wasn't in that car, though.

[@XConnor-21]

Yuki and DR H2H (including last season) Qualifying: 8-3 Race: 7-4 Points: 22-6 11 races, half of a regular season, the gap between Yuki and DR is quite brutal.

[@borismuller86]

Yuki has 100% of their points. I would have hoped for more like a 60:40 split, honestly. Yuki is making him look very average.

[@crushx]

daniel was only slower than yuki in belgium and cota last year every other race he was quicker daniel has been poor in qualifying which is the reason hes getting caught up at the back (abu dhabi he had equal pace to yuki despite having a tear off in his brake duct, he finished 11th from 15th - bad quali good race) he was quicker in brazil with rear wing damage. We saw this weekend even despite him having no running till saturday he was there with yuki (he would have gotten that q3 spot if he had the friday running). imo his qualifying form is the only reason he isnt beating yuki and yuki is in good form which starts from his extremely consistent quali pace. Yuki is able to perform well in quali and then do the job in the race if both daniel and yuki made it out of t1/2 in 10th and 11th yesterday im sure daniel would've been fighting yuki for that point.

[@ayeeeitskev]

you’re ignoring the fact that daniels has some incident that’s compromised his race significantly in all but like 3-4 races…and yuki hasn’t had that same bad luck

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

Concerning for Ricciardo is how badly this season has gone for him, he has only a few races left to save his career

[@HarryANuis-gi9hz]

Yuki is on his 4th season at the same team, Red Bull gave him so much time it would be excepted for him to beat Ricardo tbh.

[@Aphex271]

I'd give the race a 7 despite Max crushing the field again. 1st lap crash, lots of overtakes, different strategies, exciting pitstops, and battles for almost all point scoring positions

[@TommoOnYoutube]

Fair shout

[@minidanielx5208]

A 7 did we watch the same race, a 7 is a great race with lots of overtakes exiting an fight for the lead, this is definetly just a average race so 5/10 some overtakes some fight but also a lot of boring parts so basically 5/10 anything above is just wrong

[@turbo_brian]

Williams for sure had a clanger. Their saving grace is that alpine and sauber are clown shows.

[@NERGYStudios]

The sad part is Sauber actually has a decent car which can definitely take on RB, their problem is actually easier to fix. Alpine on the other hand, is an absolute dumpster fire with those two cars. Props to Gasly and Ocon to keeping them on track while battling other drivers.

[@TommoOnYoutube]

😅

[@charlottetaylor1273]

Using the Indy Car points system could be a fun video! Also, when Red Bull started struggling from 2014, I dont think Christian Horner was at risk of losing his job and look where Red Bull are now, off track stuff aside.

[@AngryChristian1]

I predicted that the clangers would be Perez and Ricciardo. Perez was definitely a wrong prediction, however I think for Ricciardo that came true in the end even though his qualifying was better. The clanger for the weekend overall though might be Sargeant (predictably).

[@demonbox7780]

Ferrari's major update is coming for Imola. So happy abouy Yuki and, to be honest, I'd put also Albon in the list of clangers (and it pains me), not 100% his fault but: 1. he was given the proper car (Logan's) 2. He knows they have no spare car for another 2 (?) races? You drive more cautiously and bring the car home, and maybe in the process score a point or 2

[@AugmentedGravity]

I absolutely adore this track and this race was actually really enjoyable imo.

[@MihaiKrieger]

41:00 - I'd go that far to say that Chinese GP will be Ricciardo's last career race if things don't improve right there and then. 44:20 - I'm actually happy seeing a team endorsing gambling, fail.

Acceptable banger driver: Verstapen, Leclerc, tsunoda. Acceptable clanger driver: Sargeant, stroll, gasly, ricciardo Acceptable banger team: RB, Ferrari. Acceptable clanger team: Alpine, sauber, Mercedes, possibly even Williams

[@billcranston3882]

Albon saw both Danny and Stroll before moving to the outside. Slightest of contact. Racing incident with neither to blame more than the other. Silly to say Danny shouldn't have moved the extra 5cm to the right or that Albon shouldn't have filled the gap to the outside of Danny.

[@sbGOM]

It's lonely here, isn't it. So a driver sees a threat of collision on his left and watches the car on the left. Meantime a car that's behind him on his right does a banzai overtaking move - he was almost out of track when he started his move - which was very risky IMHO and that risky move was the greater contribution to the accident. I agree, however, that it was a racing incident at the end of the day.

[@TyresePeoples]

the sauber car isn’t even that bad. could def have points w RB and Haas if it were for the pit stops

[@abel6846]

Imagine being a mechanic at Williams these days, the horror!

[@valecasini]

26:50 that would look sooo bad for them! remember when HAAS had the two rookies that in almost every week-end destroyed the cars? well we never saw that year the things that Williams is doing this year! and HAAS wasn't financially in a much better situation... if they'll withdraw completely from the week-end it could be a very bad thing for the sport and for them 31:05 Sainz is just being sure to make a good impression on everyone on the paddock so that next year he's sure to have a seat! it's not like he's doing all of this to show Ferrari that they did the wrong choice 😅

[@bogdantzu12]

Tommo man, you need to reconsider the race rating.Australian gp was a 6 and it was a snooze fest.really nothing happened regarding the actual racing.This was a good race,i mean come on,go watch the full replay and make some justice.

[@Bapp-88]

I do honestly believe that the only driver who could challenge Fernando right now with the same car is Max. Probably Max would win, but the rest of grid is so far away from these 2 IMO. It is unbelievable what Fernando always takes from his cars. We do not see Hamilton , Ricciardo or Vettel doing the same things, as often, when their cars do not work flawlessly.

[@MattMajcan]

im sorry but how can you give a report on a race when you didnt actually watch the race? i watched the official highlights and they do such a terrible job explaining anything that happened. this whole race was all about strategy and none of that shows up in the highlights

[@albinorhino6]

A 6 or 7 out of 10….call it a 6.5. Slightly above average. Nothing amazing at the front, but some pretty great racing through the midfield, and the variety of tire strategy added some interest, something we don’t always get. Fantastic drives by Sainz, Alonso, and Tsunoda. Bottas was a surprise, but that team is just…oof. Danny Danny Danny, time to put Liam in that car I think. RB in a fight with Haas for 6th overall, and they can’t do the whole season with just Tsunoda carrying the team.

Logan actually had a decent race, considering he was driving a heavier secondhand chassis and he had to do three pit stops... By then he was forced to last place, which is when he went into the gravel... But before that he was moving up the field, making some decent overtakes.

[@voongnz]

I guess what I'm trying to say is, does anyone know how much heavier the repaired car is? And how heavy is Logan? (gotta be under 80kg I assume).

Impressive holiday kitchen video Tommo 👍

[@xtreme8935]

I disagree with Daniel being a clanger, this week he didn’t get a chance to race an FP1 he didn’t race in F2 due to the weather he only had FP3 the time for him to do all of his running where all the other drivers had FP1 in their car. I know that the crash was classified as a racing incident. However, he did have the racing line and was ahead of Alex and if it would’ve been later on in the race, Alex would’ve been at fault for that accident as he was not ahead of Daniel going into the corner. You can also look at the inboard of the cars. However, Alex was in a blind spot, and Daniel wanted to make sure he gave space for Lance. Alex could’ve put on the brakes and not tried to go for the space looking at the footage.

[@simxcenter]

after watching DTS and seeing Horner jump out of his skin when Danny did the lap that woulda put him on the front row....i wonder what kind of lap time Yuki could have done in. i feel like most drivers on the grid could have done a lap time to put them next to max in the RedBull...yet only Danny got the opportunity. Did Nick get that same opportunity? no. Horner is corrupt and biased as they come

[@caphowdy666]

Are the sponsors on RB really anything to do with Ricciardo? I doubt it. CashApp was on the Red Bull from 2022 - 2023 so I very much doubt they jumped to the lesser team due to a driver who has had such a poor couple of years. That was obviously some kind of internal sponsorship shift. I am also not convinced he has anything to do with Visa or Hugos decision to switch. Hell, Hugo alone is probably more interested in Yuki than they are of Daniel considering Yuki is a bit of a fashionista. Hugo is a Gen-Z focused brand, why would they be interested in a millenial driver?

[@cormacmacaongusa]

Not a hope Hugo prioritise Tsunoda over DR. Daniel is one of the most famous F1 drivers of all time, he undoubtedly brings in sponsors.

[@caphowdy666]

@@cormacmacaongusa One of the most famous drivers of all time? Not even fucking close. You go out and talk to non F1 fans, nobody will know who he is. Go out mention Senna, Prost, Mansell, Hill, Stewart, Hamilton and Schumacher, they will know them. Ricciardo is certainly famous to F1 fans, but beyond that he is nobody. And its not about priortising, its about targeting a driver who appeals to the generation they are aiming their clothes at. Yuki is far more likely to wear their clothes than Danny is.

[@cormacmacaongusa]

@caphowdy666 Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton are the only ones listed who are more famous than Ricciardo. Daniel Ricciardo is definitely more recognisable than the names Stewart, Mansel, Hill and Prost. Not a competition, F1 is just more popular than it was in the past. And it doesn't really matter what Yuki wears, it's about popularity.

He is still in the top 5 for Grand Prix victories on the current grid, he has the same as the Ferrari drivers combined It’s clear to see who is new around here, Ricciardo has made a big impact For a few years he was THE most exciting driver on the grid, his late-breaking daring moves, and always winning great races The fact he was Webber’s replacement, his excellent 2014 season against the reigning champion Vettel, his close teammate battle with Verstappen, major wins like Monaco 2018, his podiums with Renault, his win with McLaren He’s a man for big moments, and has a TON of marketability.

I'd give that race a 6.5-7/10. It had good overtakes, strategy was at play, and while yes, most were DRS, it wasn't 100% "Open DRS and fly past". Ricciardo and Albon is a racing incident, he wasn't looking to his right because he was more worried about Stroll on the inside, and tbf, Albon did try a risky move on the outside of the Esses, that's just not the place to put your car on Lap 1 tbh.

I'm surprised by your race rating. I thought the race was much better. It had both great overtakes, and intriguing strategy. There also didn't seem to be much downtime, with something always going on. It also didn't rely on artificial factors with safety cars/red flags and changing weather to be entertaining. For a clean, dry race, I don't see it getting much better apart from their being a fight for the win.
