So true about McLaren. Can't believe I remember the days when people were complaining that Ferrari and McLaren were the only teams winning and no one else had a chance. We've come a long way since then.

[@yannickvaz694]

The only defense I could say for McLaren is that they've regularly struggled with rule changes (and they have outdated resources). Even so, they've definitely dropped the ball on their car this year, while their strategies haven't been good. Ferrari on the other hand built a fast (albeit unreliable) car, but their strategies are as bad as they have been over the past few years. McLaren are still building an updated wind tunnel so there's some hope for them. If they struggle even after it's finished, then I'd be very disappointed. Ferrari's problems however should've been solved years ago, but haven't. Hopefully the fact that they lost both championships due to team blunders hurts them enough to realise they need change. Mercedes and Red Bull don't look like they'll drop from the front any time soon, and I'm confident that Merc will build a more competitive car next year. Alpine seems poised to slowly move forward, but they need to figure out their driver lineup soon (Ocon is a good driver on his day, but he's been inconsistent and has never been a great team player). McLaren and Ferrari are both capable of getting back to the front, but they need to iron out their issues quickly.

No, you have to maximize the expected number of points. You do this by multiplying probability with reward. In this case the reward was one point with moderate risk (fast lap, crash... getting behind Alonso, etc.) The punishment for either of these things was high. Now if you multiply the probabilities with the point reward/loss, you end up at a negative in this case. So you do not do it. In this case, Alonso was much too close. Leclerc was lucky to overtake him. In vain, but still.

@@jd3330 with how far back in the championship he is, they need to go for every opportunity possible. Also, since Max would have lost the fastest lap, the difference would have been two points.

[@jd3330]

@@Resto35 With how close Alonso was, it was a bad decision. You’re risking losing TWO points by getting passed by Alonso for a mere ONE point. Would have should have blah blah blah. That’s pointless. Max still got the fastest lap and Charles finished 6th. Instead of having a net of +2 by holding position, he ended up -3.

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

This year I was hoping it wouldn’t rain, next year I’ll be praying for rain!

[@ComandanteJ]

I think we must start accepting that not all Leclerc problems are Ferrari's fault. He's been making costly mistakes all by himself, too.

[@Vlad-sj5yw]

Everyone has been accepting that for some time now. Including Leclerc himself. This time not so much his fault.

[@oxford750]

Ocon should be driver of the day, as it is not often you see a driver overtake two cars at once but the same driver doing it twice. Way to go Ocon.

[@Swamp_Lad]

Leclerc has to start making calls. Carlos clearly takes decisions with the team and with Leclerc the strategy just happens. Super talented driver but it seems he misses still some ingredients for the complete package.

[@fehend]

they asked him to make the call on tyres and he couldnt , he couldn't pick hards or soft think about that. its at the beginning of this very video.

[@brandonstevens4513]

How many times did he retire from the lead this year? How many engines blew up? At this point it's Leclerc over compensating because Ferrari blew it early on in the season. Could he be closer in the championship? Sure, but at the end of the day, I think Leclerc is just as good as Max, he's just had to come from too far back too often. Also, today was not about Max, but RB's insane car. If last year in Brazil was all about Merc's fancy engine, this was RB's fancy car. You don't dominate that way just on skill at these level of sports.

[@nathanakers45]

Exactly...Sainz dictates, Leclerc debates...

[@kentstark3104]

Fernando: Lewis only knows how to drive when he's first 😂😂😂 Hahahah! Petty burn!

[@Proglove85]

It was kind of a boring race - but my word, Verstappen was crushing it out there. I've been watching Formula 1 since the Hill, Irvine, Schumacher days, and Verstappens performance today was one of the most dominant ones, I've ever seen. It was a kind of a bizarre theatre. Shout out to Albon, Vettel, Gasly and Ocon as well.

[@Vlad-sj5yw]

Max Verstappen is one of the very best ever compared to their own time. He is just on another level and anybody else. Definitely rates among Senna and Schumacher in pure talent already and he still has a lot of experience to gain.

[@zackalex4997]

Ive been waiting all night for this video😹❤️

[@TheMaghorn]

I don't think Ferrari really did anything wrong, as far as the team is concerned. Glad to see they're actually asking Leclerc for his opinions now, but his engineer sounded like a kicked dog.

[@DimeF1]

I don't think it's a good idea to ask the driver which tires they should do next. It is the strategists job to make that decision... if anything, I feel like they are scared to mess something up again so if they ask Leclerc and it ends up a bad decision, then the fault is not theirs because they did not make that decision.

[@TheMaghorn]

@@DimeF1 It is and isn't. You can only get so much information looking at data and arrays, so driver feedback is important too. Putting all the decisions into the driver's hands is wrong as well, but that's not what they were doing.

[@Garvm]

Of that was another team or another driver in the same team nobody would blame Ferrari on a driver over speeding in the pitlane. But Ferrari is already a meme and a lot of fans cannot see Leclerc doing anything wrong

[@priyasamagod]

@@Garvm The stop itself was a stupid idea and way too late. They knew the sensor was off right from the tear-off/break-duct issue at the start. In the prior stop, he was probably keeping it slower than necessary to prevent from violating the speed limit But at the end, they gave him barely a lap and hardly enough time to take a pit stop(gap to Alonso). In that situation, it is a miracle that Charles was only 1km/hr too fast. He simply didn't have enough time to be careful/slow enough not to cross the pit lane speed limit manually.

[@mrthewhite2620]

It's definitely a bad idea to have such open convo on strategy over the radio. there's a reason why MacLaren have Plan G. Ferrari didn't consider enough scenarios pre-race and didn't plan ahead.

[@Spike-sk7ql]

Painful race as a Ferrari fan, but you have to respect the class that Max just put on today. This kid is in another league right now.

[@V1nn798]

Even at the beginning you can see how much pain Matt is in

[@aliyousuf2342]

I used to skip Race Rundown before you threatened to remove it. Now I always watch it. Watching Matt slowly lose his mind is my favorite part of these videos now.

[@sushieffer]

It’s sad to see how unlucky Leclerc is. Out of all the things, Max his tear off caused Charles brakes to smoke and Ferrari as always with their amazing strategy.. I really hope that we will see more battles between Max and Charles in the future. Oh and what a race for Albono!

[@joostprins3381]

Max his tear off? How did you get that, did Max drop it on purpose with his autograph on it?

[@AbsoleteAim]

@@theporcupine9993 Not at all, has only had 2 mistakes this season, that's not inconsistent, Max has just been pretty much perfect, especially now that the RB car is clear. It's a dangerous combo.

[@wedgefeyhong9756]

There’s no way Ferrari could of took fastest lap. Max’s pace was overwhelming.

[@rhyskirbyy]

FIA feeling like they can warn Lewis for not going straight to the medical centre is outrageous. If you’re that bothered why don’t you send a vehicle to pick him up instead of making him walk. You weren’t so bothered about his health whilst he was walking back were you.

[@PeterJavi]

Verstappen isn't driving to win the championship, he's driving to win each and every remaining race. He's gunning for most wins in a season

[@duartecastro623]

Hey Matt, first of all I just want to say that I absolutely love the Internet's best reactons series! I have a suggestion for you: just like you do with the tweet of the week (show other memes before actually showing the tweet of the week), maybe you could do the same with the teams' tweets? show a couple of them, maybe more, before actually showing the top 3? I think it would be even better! cheers

[@ghostlyrazgriz5228]

[@Vlad-sj5yw]

@@TonVanDerAa I mean he's already winning the championship. Not sure what's impossible now or how it would improve with Porsche?

[@MrXaniss]

I think Ocon has the potential of being a team leader, not just yet, but if continues his form then yeah.

[@Iluvxi]

Its kinda insane how much he gets ignored tbh. Like he literally had one of the best drives from the back to 7th and nobody gives a damn

[@zugfan112]

Max is going to make a last to first challenge in one race (and i wouldn't be surprised if he wins in that race)

[@Tohardtomakeachannel]

Ocon is a team leader. Needs more consistency but he's incredibly quick

[@ThereMayBeLions]

I think he needs someone to be the primary seat for another season or two, but if he keeps racing like he did today that might change my mind. My dream partner for him is still Danny Ric

[@JohnFromAccounting]

He needs qualifying consistency. Race consistency is very good.

[@ThereMayBeLions]

@@JohnFromAccounting Yeah, that is one of Max's Achilles Heels as well. Dudes untouchable in a race, but he can be very inconsistent in Qualifying

[@JacopoBasanisi]

Since Liberty arrival, F1 is more a story than a sport, for audience's sake. Ferrari is the designated villain for this season.

[@justamanchimp]

Max has now entered the same place Lewis entered in 2014 onwards. He's got the best car, the best team around him, and he's performing at the top of his game. You could say he's the best driver, and I'd probably agree still, but.. you have to bare the car and team in mind too. It's years of work on RB and Verstappens side that has come to this moment and they're riding it. Even if max has a bad race or makes mistakes, he's still in the equivalent of what was the Mercedes not even 2 years ago so, it's likely he will still win the championship. You's see what I'm saying? I think he's still on par with Hamilton, Leclerc, Russel, Alonso, etc. I don't necessarily think he exceeds any of those as much as Hamilton didn't necessarily exceed any other driver in his dominance period. It's more right place right time and not that Verstappens skills alone is why he's winning. Of course he's incredibly talented but it's more than just him. RB is now in that zone and it could continue for a while, but I think it might reset in the next season cause of this car regs is much easier to adapt with than before. I suspect that another team will bounce back next season and challenge them. I can't see RB drastically running away like Merc did.

[@cipher4213]

Good communication with the drivers about strategy is priority number 1. If you can also do that in secrecy that’s a bonus. I applaud Ferrari for at least trying.

[@skynet0912]

I always thought that an f1 driver was unshakeable in their will to win, being able to come back from crushing defeats, like Hakkinen coming back from his major blunder in Italy in 1999... But i honestly think that, at least for this season, Leclerc is just defeated, and unable to come back from it mentally... The amount of distrust in the team for their bad calls, his own unforced mistakes, and the general unreliability and lack of pace in the car compared to Red Bull might have just pushed him to a point where he simply can't keep it together and give 100%, only ever being able to go at 96%...

[@jealva]

I still don’t understand why Hamilton said Alonso was in his blind spot. Did he think Alonso was going to disappear or just give him the position without a fight? Hamilton’s racecraft is terrible and we were reminded of it today. He was clearly flattered by the most dominant car in F1 history from 2014-2021.

[@seandp85]

Why not, he just moves to the side for Max without a fight

[@roddan93]

I think that Ocon havn't had the chance to show that he can be a teamleader. He have always been the younger less experianced driver with teammates like Perez, Ricciardo and Alonso

[@joostprins3381]

And always was the biggest rat.

[@Endless-River]

As a big McLaren fan, we are used to it I think. 8 years of crap and then tiny brief moments of hope and then back into the crap. It's much like being a Buffalo Bills fan prior to 2018, we just accepted our fate after 20 years of crap. "There's always next year." - New McLaren slogan, probably. Great video guys!

[@justinn5357]

I think Ocon is absolutely a team leader compare him to some of the other young drivers and he’s really doing quite well. I think with some assurance that he doesn’t have to worry about a drive every year he will do great.

[@cdogdeluxe6037]

He isn’t really one of the young drivers anymore. He’s youthful but does have 5 full seasons under his belt if I’m correct

[@sammo_sez]

How TF can F1 give Hamilton a warning for skipping the med-tent? They left him to fight his own fire, hitchhike for a ride, then ultimately force him to walk several km's back to the paddock! If they cared about his health status, they'd have given him a ride.

[@not_super_street]

As soon as Alonso came around turn one on the second to last lap I just rolled my eyes and said FFS

Verstappen is a joy to watch out on track. He absolutely blitzed it today. Ocon deserves a great shout out too. 2 double overtakes that put a big smile on my face. I really enjoyed that race. Hope you guys did too.
