Seeing that every time he brakes for a corner he makes up at least a car length on the guy in front, that was what jumped out to me. Also at 4:30, this was the first time I've actually noticed trail braking. I know race drivers do it, but I'd never been able to really see it. This section makes it clear. I mostly drift in sims so the increased rear end wavering(I assume GT cars more visibly trail-brake than F1 cars) in cockpit made it click with me for the first time. 'Ah, okay, so he's basically slip angle drifting that chicane'. It's like it had been hiding in plain sight from me all this time. Such subtle, precise control of throttle and brake, so subtle it's almost invisible in F1.

Max runs single player races against 120% a.i. skill level drivers to see what more is possible. That's the secret. He follows the alien a.i. to see what more he can squeeze out of the cars.

Not showcasing. Learning to push the limits of the vehicles. That's something you can't do with a real car, take it past the limit and crash it 100x in an hour to find the perfect line. Max uses the sim to learn where the limits are of the vehicles. You can't know how far you can go until you've gone too far, and you don't want to do that in a real car. Every pro driver would benefit from more sim time.

That’s how it’s done in the real world of racing, you make sure to cut off any advantage that may let the other driver come back at you, if that guy had conceded the corner earlier it would never have happened. Btw I don’t drive like this, I always leave a cars width because I’m not verstappen or 7k+ but you’re never going to get to the front without bold, confident moves.

Either you drive 'no touching allowed', or you don't. If you do, they better send them off 10s apart, like at Pike's Peak or The Isle of Man. Make it a timed race, so everyone can drive his own pace and passing has little meaning. If you don't ... as long as the car stays in one piece. No driver is out to damage his own car. Max just has zoom-eyes: he sometimes sees a large hole where others see a tiny hole. It's like Coulthart said at Abu Dhabi: "I wouldn't have passed Hamilton at corner 5, I would have waited". Followed by: "and that's probably why I never became World Champion". Max keeps his car on track, in one piece, and does it in murdereous laptimes. It's up to the other drivers to do the same. The SIMs play a game, Max doesn't. Does that really surprise anyone?

Racing is not hotlapping, you aren't alone. If your "skill" is just about brute forcing your way into such a "win" then your "skill" is utterly pointless (exactly as the "skill" of a boxer "winning" by having padding removed on his gloves; he "won" so who cares how he did it, is it not? Utter nonsense). He caused two incidents in just the first 10 minutes in the video, both by forcefully interjecting into the line of the other driver. Do you think that's acceptable behavior? If to "win" you have to cause incidents to other cars and only care about your race and nobody's else then I'm sorry but your "skill" is actually weak all things considered, since your "winning" is not by the same rules that others abide to hence making your win totally irrelevant.

Savage take out at 9.30

[@DrSpoculus]

Big key to max's turn exit speed is his throttle control. He keeps the rpms at the perfect spot for the correct speed of the corner, allowing him to gain speed faster out of corners. Other drivers also trail brake, but they aren't as perfect as he is with the rev accuracy. Those extra rpms help so much for gaining those needed inches on other drivers. He knows exactly the right throttle and brake for each corner, and he is CONSISTENT every lap, with the least variation compared to other drivers. He's more of a machine that runs a program 100x than a human trying to hit their marks.

[@b-dogtheman4578]

my god. If you've ever tried dive bombing in a sim it is EXTREMELY hard to not overshoot or completely lock your fronts to try and get ahead or fully alongside the other car in the apex. There were too many times where I overshot and opened a gap on the inside for the other car to get a better exit and still stay ahead. He has so much trust in the brake pedal even thought he isn't experiencing the G-forces or the vibrations in real life. His steering is just completely smooth all way in each lap while also being very aggressive on the kerbs. Each time I see his car step out even just a little bit, he doesn't even correct it sometimes. Some of the overtakes he did were dirty definitely, but the pace he had was just out of this world and each lap looked like a quali lap instead of race pace.

[@SodiumChlorideMsport]

and not to mention he's not even overevving the engine like mowing down the gears or shifting late. He also takes care of the car while going at maximum pace. What you'd definitely expect from an F1 driver, but the way he's adapted in sim racing is just amazing.

@@CoolockIRA I don't get how people have that mindset of racing, If everybody raced that way you'd have black flags every race.

[@CoolockIRA]

Obviously don't go punting people, but if a gap appears, you go for it. Same as fighting, it's kill or be killed. You are essentially "fighting" for track position.

does Max play with a classic screen simulator or with VR goggles?

[@PabloGz205]

3 screens

Typical Max at 3:52

Why do I get the feeling the car's gearing is a tad tall for this track?

09:25 dirty Verstappen ... this is typically a penalty in iRacing (rules are different to Formula 1) 30:25 a bit careless and a bit netcode probably

[@tecnoarg1]

nice kick out 9:23

[@banditharris8257]

Some classic Max overtakes. Mad dive bomb for 13th and some elbows out for 11th. He's got to be the most talented and aggressive racer for a long time. The current day Senna or Schumacher... and we get to watch him iRacing. Amazing times.

4:30 - He's basically very, very lightly drifting through this section, right? I don't race in sims, I mostly drift, so that's what interests me most. Trail-braking, so you split the difference between maintaining traction but also getting your car facing the right way for the corner exit. Strange to think that the best drivers do this through corners given that it a. was drummed into me to never lose traction in racing, and b. that when you watch racing like this it's basically impossible to see any loss of traction at all. You can only tell from hearing the tires squealing in-cockpit and seeing a really slight wavering in the rear when the car goes through chicanes. Otherwise you'd think the rear wheels are glued to the road throughout.

[@Flowrazornapalm]

In roadracing you call this "SlipAngle". You are literally like "bending" the tyres without losing traction to turn in the car. That is the #1 Skill for pro drivers but super hard to do consistently thats why you have like 3 diff settings that you change for some corners in f1

[@thesprawl2361]

@@Flowrazornapalm I've been drifting for a while now in sims so I have a good feel for the precise point where a car loses traction. So I'd like to think if I started taking racing seriously I'd have a small bit of background muscle memory that would help.

[@Flowrazornapalm]

i drive a lot of Rallysim (RBR), that really helps with weight shifting and turning in without handbrake or controls at all@@thesprawl2361

you can change it in the settings. The guy who uploaded this cranked them up. Many people do it to get a better idea of how much grip they have at any moment. You can turn them off completely if you like.

@@philipagerbech3982 Seb is a 4 time world champion. He won in a toro rosso. He clearly won in the 3rd best car in 2012 by overcoming a 42 point deficit. And you say Max is better then Seb? I mean ok Max can be better then Button but raikkonen? Have you seen prime raikkonen? Max joined F1 in 2015 and his first ever pole was literlly last year, he has been on a top 3 team since 2016 and NEVER showed ANYTHING special. You probably dont know but the media wants Seb to look bad because the majority are british and the british media always insulted the german drivers. Even the dutch do the same, they play max verstappen like he is some absolute god and down Seb and others... Seb is 100x the driver Max will ever be.
