And some people think that Hamilton's performance in Brazil 2021 by overtaking in the straight line is a "Masterclass" THIS is a masterclass

[@mralireza931]

Some people don't use their brain; or eyes.

[@henriqueteixeira2998]

A masterclass isn't only about overtakings... You must be fast in the rest of the track to be in a position to overtake. When it's dry everyone is on the same comfort zone, the driver overtaking and the one who got surpassed... when it is this wet, there are a lot of factors like tyres, slippery condition, aerodynamic setup, etc. Yeah, Max shows a lot more quality during the rain, but a lot of his opponents were struggling in these conditions, so it's "easier" to outclass them... The difficulty is high for Max but is high for the others on the track too, so if Max copes well with the challenge of driving in a wet track, then the gap will be huge. Overtaking in the rain can be done almost everywhere, because your opponent can lose the control of the car at any moment. Both are masterclasses in their own way, Max in the wet and Lewis in the dry. I prefer this one from Max, it's a bigger masterclass, but let's not act like everything below this isn't a masterclass too...

[@philchion4006]

@@henriqueteixeira2998 you can't call your drive a Masterclass when you overtake at the middle of a straight line thanks to your higher horsepower+DRS. End of the story

[@henriqueteixeira2998]

@@philchion4006 Again, masterclass isn't only about overtakings. Most of the "masterclasses" according you are only on the rain, because that's the only condition that makes almost every turn a overtaking point. Better than this one from Max regarding this, only the ones from Senna or something like that. These things won't happen in a dry circuit and the car isn't automatic, it needs someone driving it close to perfection. Bottas is a great example of how Lewis drops an insane drive almost every race, just like Max does as well but no one notices when there is no overtaking.

[@giuseppekarting3975]

thats a thing you learn in karting. When the track is wet the rubber on the racing line (which in the dry gives you more grip) turns into a slippery line so you better avoid it. thats why verstappen tries to brake into the middle and then let it rotate around the outside. in Karting thats called the Wet line and is a common thing when its raining. Verstappen only 2 years before raced internation kart races, so he has still some helpfully advices when it comes to racing line

[@Yvolve]

​@@levivlijm7571 It's experience as well and talent. His dad was a great rain driver, but only then, otherwise he was mediocre at best. Being Dutch, he most likely has a lot of experience driving in the rain and trusts the grip. You can hear him find the limit of the grip and then just keeping it there, very little rear wheel spin and easily dealing with the under or oversteer. That's why he held that slide just before pit lane. Hamilton is the same to an extent. Look at how Leclerc and he dealt with their slides in Germany last year. He does take the regular line more in the rain it seems.

Edit: Dude took it, from Lewis Hamilton's Merc. Lewis was much faster but Checo was left on track to slow him down, and he did it like a legend, slowing Lewis 6s in one lap so Max could pressure him. Didn't do much at the time but when Latifi crashed with 5 laps to go, Lewis missed the advantage Checo took from him and couldn't box for new tires while Max did it. Masi goofed up again on race direction(told the unlapped cars to wait in position for two whole laps then let only the unlapped cars between Lewis and Max unlap themselves. In the end, it was Lewis on 40lap old hard tires vs Max right behind him on fresh softs with one full racing lap, Lewis' stans went big mad). Max overtook Lewis on the very last lap and pulled away for a first WDC. Frankly, I don't see Lewis stopping this guy next seasons, he'll probably leave in 1 or 2 years.

[@ballaking1000]

He does this throughout but at 3:10, it really shows how Verstappen is comfortable in finding new lines that could potentially be quicker (prior to this moment) and then utilizing these lines on the vast majority of drivers who do have an altered racing line from the dry; but they're all almost one and the same IN that wet racing line.. Verstappen at such a young age and only his second season in, just completely at one with himself in incredibly high-pressure from the team, the fans, the environment, the g-forces, the visibility, straight back to composure after the near collision with the wall. How does a kid have THAT much belief in himself over drivers on the grid who've raced longer than he's been alive!? Max is a true icon in terms of believing in oneself, keeping mental dexterity, resiliency and focus and to always reach for more than you thought possible. It was only a matter of time before he become a world champion (one of many to come). It's too big a loss not to if you've been racing pretty much since getting a kart when others of similar age were struggling to ride bikes without the training wheels.

[@callaghanization]

A master class in wet weather racing from a young Max. Alternative lines, very smooth throttle and steering inputs, short shifting to manage torque, using kerbs in places where the others are unable to. Very impressive stuff and great footage.

[@ivanbastos4963]

As impressive as this is, i think it's even more impressive if you consider that this isn't Verstappen in his prime yet, and the RB he's driving is basically a midfield car, at the level of ferrari or force india, but miles below the mercedes. This is why i have no doubts Max is the best driver on the grid today, and probably at the level of Schumi and Senna alike

[@SE-dn7xl]

Lewis Hamilton fans have completely watered down what "masterclass driving" is. Max is in other league.

[@drugoviic]

I was hanging out with M.J. & watching, my feet where cramping up in every corner, my hands where sweating, i could almost feel the car breaking away left & right...a hell of a ride! He was driving totally diff lines from everyone else, was that the crucial factor? He saved his tires on the wet spots & started just gaining more & more time as the tires from the others got worse? Thats my theorie i guess... have a nice day everyone.

[@5tuartGuy]

Thank you for this content A little personal request, can we have the onboards, alternative angles or the radio highlights from Nurburgring 2007 at the start of that race, I keep watching it back because I have no idea how some drivers ended up where they did in the downpour, like Coulthard went off at T5 on lap 1 and was last yet when the safety car was deployed he was up with the leaders.

I like how when Vettel defended the first time, he tried to run Max as wide as possible so he had to yield or he would have been off the track. Then when Max catches him again and goes for the overtake, Max does the exact same thing back 😂 Except Vettel didn't have the sense to yield and did actually go off track.. Just goes to show that Verstappen is on a whole other level compared to Vettel lol
