😮BREAKING NEWS !!! - So Jensen didnt get to watch the AB21 last lap live 😲 As an F1 fan since the mid-90's I reckon it was one of the most, if not the most INTENSE F1 experiences, and maybe TV watching experiences of my life 🤯.

[@theflyingdonkeypunch]

Norris is a great driver, but he's surrounded by superior drivers in competitive machinery such as Max, Leclerc, Lewis and probably George too. Unless he's able to find about 3 more gears within himself, he needs to hope for a vastly superior car like he has had at times this season, otherwise I can't see him competing with the elites. Maybe it will happen, but by this stage if he was a generational talent, it should be clear by now.

[@MohamedLamkhizni]

Yep you right and i do all the respect to Lando and i respect him alot he is a great driver and it's only way he can be WDC if that Mclaren is rocketship over the grid all the season like Red bull and Mercedes and Ferrari before even then he should go toe to to with his teamate oscar for the title and that will not be easy and who's know he can proved evryone wrong and be better next year and learnt from his mistakes he and Mclaren this season but if it is three to four teams title fight it will be interesting what he and Mclaren can do

[@lisatenielle]

As someone who works behind the scenes in radio, I really appreciate the shoutouts that you give to the producers who are in your ears and how somethings are scripted and needed for post production. Sometimes I pause and rewind the live shows to explain to my friends and family how the presenters/commentators just signaled to the producers live on camera that they just received the new/updated info while in conversation. It's totally a team effort to make everyone look good live and post shows! 🧡 Also, Jenson was well dressed, but Rachel in her red suit!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!! 💃

[@frdml01]

obviously 2021 was his best win: as a relatively inexperienced young driver, against a formidable and experienced multiple champion driver, who drove a (slightly?) quicker car.

[@HUMC5]

Huh? Red Bull was the best car for half the season. Mercedes was best at the 2nd half. They lost about 20% downforce from 2020 to 2021. Too bad Masi threw the rulebook to the garbage bin. Max is yet to win a championship in a fair way.

The season clearly showed that Max can extract everything from a car. Unfortunately Perez is so off the pace you don't know what the pace of the car truly is. Unlike Lando and Oscar. You knew if the car was competitive because they were usually on a similar pace. But yh Lando made a championship hard to win. Max makes it looks easy 😂

[@marco_1909]

Dont think anything can ever top 21. Great rival,equal cars, going to the last lap, all the drama around the paddock, finest margins like the slow stop in Monza, it was perfect. Probably sim that season a million times and you could never replicate it.

[@xavierdw8929]

Tu tu dudu Max Verstappen Tu tu dudu 🎉 - Let's hope Ferari clinches Constructors WDC

[@rulifaller8474]

I am sure Lando will improve somewhat, though I think it should be more about maximizing his result in every Q and race, including first laps, rather than the racing Max directly narrative. But I think he needs a big leap to beat Max, as he did not make any ground over the 16 race stretch in which he had a faster car than Max almost every week. And I am not so sure that McLaren operations will improve a lot, same people and they might have the additional issue of having to deal with the Oscar Piastri situation from race 1. He will probably be good enough to not want to be a rear gunner for Lando from day one, but recent races suggest that he will not be consistent enough to challenge for the title himself. Tough decisions from day 1, and there is no obvious way of dealing with them given the driver choices they have made. It feels to me as they actually see Oscar as the better long term prospect, but for now Landos consistency just makes him a lot more viable contender.

[@nehapisal3877]

22:48 AWWWWW THIS IS SO CUTE STOP

[@jeroenbons637]

Aaah on Lando and next season… we’ll there is one thing that you, in your shimmering hope, seem to forget is that Norris is very good in letting himself down. The Lando Start is famous by now…..and by which he will be remembered.

[@pear7777]

Short answer: NO 2021 was. 2023 was most dominant, so could be best too.

That would be 19 wins in a season (2023) Mr Button, followed by 15 wins in 2022.

[@daphnelovesL]

He say to Zak Brown he would win the Champion easy in a McLaren

[@the_fleeing_dutchman]

Great podcast because of the great questions and of course of JB! So, thank you Sky! About 2025 and Lando, suppose Lewis (and Charles) have a great car, as perhaps will have Mercedes and Red Bull, it is not only Max that he will be facing, in terms of competition, but he then has to face other tough drivers such as Lewis, Charles and perhaps even George. And for sure, Charles is no slouch and races tough as well. So, whilst he may focus on Max, the danger could come from a lot of different drivers. He will have learned from this year, but realistically speaking, this was the year he had all the tools to face the challenge and he and the team were not really ready for it. Too many mistakes, bad judgements, etc. Loverd Max' comments to Zak after the race on Sky. Cheeky but so true. Compare that to 2021 and the first time a team looked as if they had the tools and the driver to beat the then current World Champion, as shown during the first race in Bahrain, after that race, Red Bull and Max made no mistakes. And as Jenson pointed out, he only got 1 opportunity to grab the title, and he made it stick! A true champ!

[@rozahkobero6234]

@@misterpaultje This isnt Oscar's first year, fyi. He has had 44 race starts with 9 podiums and 2 wins, albeit being in the fastest car. Whereas Norris was already outqualifying and beating his teammate in a midfield car at the time and was 3rd in the championship. So im not going to be biased towards Piastri with my scrutiny. If he was better he wouldnt have this many stats against him and to ignore the points difference between the two is lack of wheel knowledge. Maybe next year, but we are rating performance not potential

@16:26 "...Maybe he's making more of the difference..." ??? Without a tiny shadow of a doubt, which races did you watch, did you forget how to add and subtract? Yes, you Brits love to relive the past. In this case the adored years with the dominant Merc. 2014-2021 with "Valteri, this is James". Compare these with the 2021-2024 years of RB, they are totally incomparable, here only MV was the dominant factor, NOT the car. And remember the saying "a car is only as good as its 2nd driver". Then try to combine the completely valid and correct point of MV @16:16 to @16:24 with all this. The only possible conclusion is that MV is more than right and therefore: @16:29 - 16:35 No, not "they" as the whole team, certainly not. @16:29 - 16:35 "they" as in MV, GP, HS and MV's side of the garage, possible, but MV instead of "they" surely is the obvious.

And he did have a dominant car in 22 and especially 23, but the dedication to drive every race perfectly and win 19 out of 22 is insane. Most drivers did take it more easy when they had such a car, and didn't mind if other drivers won the occasional race. Max went mental in 23, I think people underestimate the kind of driver you have to be to do that.

Max won ONE race out of 14 races, that is pathetic. If Leclerc, Lewis, George, Sainz and Oscar had some brains they would have just made life a little easier for Norris. George holding Lando up at Brazil handed Max the title, he did the job Perez couldn't do. A bit of brain power he would have just released Norris.
