Good video, but you forgot about Perez completely. One of the reasons for RedBull's vulnerability is Perez not being there when they need him

[@Dimich1993]

I don't think it's all on Perez, Red Bull had been developing cars that many other drivers they tried can't drive. And this year this seems even worse. And they don't seem to want to bring in a top caliber driver who can disturb Max. I think Checo is trying really hard and Red Bull had offered him a contact, they didn't offer it to Alonso and probably to Sainz too. I think they want a mid driver on the second car. And Perez worked perfectly for them in 2021.

[@eudofia]

Actually it is Redbull's choice to develop the car towards Max's natural driving style. Perez is not useless; he prefers a car with a rear stability like most drivers do. Perez is constantly fighting the Redbull which doesn't give him the rear stability confidence to carry more speed into corners. And hence affects his lap times.

Lando was not issued the penalty until after the contact . On lap 58, Lando's engineer got on the radio after lando exceeded track limits at turn 1 and told Lando, "Lando, third strike, so you've had a black & white flag, that was turn 1". So at this stage, Lando and Red Bull knew, but nothing was officially acknowledged by race control, or the stewards. On lap 59 lando locked up and went all 4 off, which should have triggered the penalty. On lap 60, Race Control acknowledged "Norris Incident: Track Limits-Noted". On lap 61, FIA stewards announced "Norris Incident: Track Limits-Under Investigation". On lap 64, the contact occurred and only after both cars were limping to the pits was Norris' 5-sec penalty for exceeding track limits announced.

[@gaycha6589]

[@petiertje]

I'm a dutchie, so I tend to favor Max of all the drivers (do like the majority of them though). I really dislike Jos, those Dutch 'pundits' though. Also de Telegraaf for stirring up trouble and spewing nonsense all the fr.... time. Telegraaf is not really a reputable source, neither are most Dutch pundits and ex racing drivers. Most just like to hear themselves talk. There is a reason I prefer Sky above the Dutch broadcast, and that's saying something. And yes, Jos has to take a step back in my opinion. Playing political games with the team his son drives for does nothing but lower his chances on another seat should he (Max) want to switch. Right now he can pick whatever seat he wants. What happens when the nonsense Jos is up to gets to stick to Max, no team would want a driver with that guy in the entourage at some point in the future.

[@tacticalmattress]

Nailed it.

[@m.furniss492]

Agreed. If Max goes to Mercedes do you thing that Toto is going to put up with Jos. Toto did not put up with Lewis’s dad when he was in the paddock. Mercedes banned him from attending the races.

[@sebastianahrens2385]

If Red Bull hadn't picked him up, Mercedes would have. The only reason that didnt happen is because RB promised to put him into a car immediately, which Merc couldn't. So he'd very, very likely still be in F1, and Lewis probably would've move moved to Ferrari earlier.

[@seashackf1]

The Race are basically saying that while Jos and Toto are poking the bear, it’s not right for the bear to growl back. Horners shot at Jos being available was hilarious. Jos has been stirring the pot this season and caused a lot of problems for RB. He’s toxic and they need to ban him from the paddock. People like Jos don’t realize when they are wrong and stop. They just dig in their heels further. Max needs to grow a pair and tell his father to stop for all of theirs sakes. If Jos keeps causing issues he may need to separate from him business wise like Lewis did with Anthony when he did some shady things.

[@darthkarl99]

If the ridehight really is creating such an awful ride it's possibble that its just a case of Max is significantly better than Checo at handling that. Drivers have preferences in handling and if the cars problems are working directly against Checo but not so much against Max, (he's clearly not happy with the issues, but he may be better able to cope with them), its not a suprise Checo has been so bad the last handful of races.

[@The_ZeroLine]

DR finished only 6 secs behind Checo in an RB. He actually loves the Max setup, unlike SP. So, as spotty as he’s been, he’d still be a better solution if RBR won’t give a top driver the 2nd seat.

Love or hate Horner all you want, Jos just seems to be embarrassing himself every chance he gets.

[@SpudNickleson-im7is]

People always forget to mention that the rules of the sport are now designed to stop any team winning for multiple seasons in a row, so this was always inevitable. Since 2022 a handicapping system was introduced that limits wind tunnel time based on championship position so Red Bull simply aren't allowed to upgrade their car as much as other teams, and McLaren in particular have an even bigger relative boost in development having finished down in 4th behind Merc and Ferrari last year. Perez shows a pretty representative picture of where Red Bull really are with the development limitations they're carrying, while Max is proving himself to be a true once in a generation talent as he continues to put up a fight against faster cars.

2021 *Why Lewis Hamilton can't keep covering Mercedes' cracks*

[@JS-ll8nk]

2021 Merc were overall the fastest car, especially after Silverstone upgrade package. Bottas finished the year P3 with 11 podiums and 1 win, despite being the guinea pig for testing the limits of the engine and accumulating all those penalties..which they eventually tuned Lewis' new engine to in Brazil which made it a Rocket ship. Perez finished in P4 with 5 podiums, 1 win.

[@jumpcutfilms1958]

Max is the glue currently holding the entire Red Bull team together

[@emmanuelsengo684]

Now, I'm about 75% sure that Red Bull won't win the constructors' title this year. If things stay the same (never mind it getting even closer), the best result Red Bull could expect from their second car is a P8 at best. The worst part is that Red Bull is doing it to themselves. They used to be the people who weren't hesitant to introduce new talents to the grid. But they're getting too complacent behind Max's talent and the guaranteed success he brings. Why else would you keep Mr. Q1 and DR with you in beyond 2024?

[@mrRTvids]

They will win the title for sure, it will be enough just to have max finish in top 2 for the rest of the season and perez collecting rest from the top 10. Mercedes, Mclaren and Ferrari are canceling each other out. Their form keeps going up and down depending on the track. And yes, they shouldve got rid of Perez, keeping him is not smart.

[@EL1TEHD1]

​@@mrRTvidsmclaren has been consistently fighting Red Bull though, they have been the most consistent team with the most consistent car, no notable ups and downs, always in the fight unlike Ferrari and Mercedes

[@martang4497]

Natural ebbs and flows of the modern regulation cycles. Not so much Red Bulls cracks as the cause but the other teams closing theirs. Does show how quick and consistent Max is, especially in a dominant car, but it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure now that the other top teams are closer. Should be a good rest of the season!

[@MrPwncake]

He did not cause the crash. THEY did.

[@stephen01king]

He broke the rules, Lando did not. Lando is not at fault, he was just not being smart about preserving his own race, which is not the same.

[@KreshDraven6]

Two things : First, it's clear as day that the problem with Red Bull is Checo. Max's back must be dying because the man is carrying the team alone basically, HUGE mistake extending Checo's contract. Second, I love how much Max appreciate his father, honestly...But c'mon man, he's a grown up and it's already time for him to back off Jos asap, every single problem Red Bull has outside the track his involved. Red Bull doesn't need him, if Max insists in bringing him along at least he should say to his dad to shut the f up

Checo’s drop in form compared to last year is just stunning honestly. Austria really proved to me that he is beyond washed. What is it with Red Bull having 2 great drivers with Verstappen and Tsunoda and then two absolute dead weights in Ricciardo and Perez(hell I’ll give Ricciardo a break because he’s scoring points in that relatively uncompetitive VCARB but still)

[@danielsemyonov]

This channel loves to hate on RB and kiss the back of Mercedes

[@SomebodyHadToSayIt99]

Parity is what makes racing great. It is good for the sport that RB no longer has an outright technical advantage. That being said, they’re still winning handedly. If this is a “bad situation” isn’t it worse that other teams have bridged the gap and still can’t win without a crash or a pit stop error? Until other drivers are passing Max on pure pace alone, I’d say everyone else has bigger issues than RB does.

[@alexm9797]

nah. Lando had room. It was Lando's Fault

[@MrClassytangerine]

He should have but isn't required to use that space.

[@Lito027]

[@Redlingstein]

Cracks, come on. Once in a blue moon they have a stuck wheel nob at a pitstop and you call it cracks? 😂 geez. Give the pitstop guys some slack. They are the fastest for MANY MANY seasons now! And the car performance? They know what needs to be changed and are working on it. They will bring updates. And Quali in Austria proofed that MAX WAS 0.4sec FASTER THAN LANDO and even more to the whole field on 1 lap!!! McLaren was P4 in constructors and has had MUCH MORE CFD and windtunnel time than RBR, OFC that gives them more time to test updates! Ofc that means they are closing the gap, as Horner in 2023 already spoke abt! This is result of the budget cap, solid regulations and CFD and Windtunnel allocation restrictions for the Constructors champions. The RB20 is still faster than the RB19, so RBR has made progress but McLaren has made more progress. There aren’t cracks…. You BRITISH MEDIA ARE HOPING for cracks. Don’t worry, Horner has build a strong team these 20 seasons, they’ve fought for Drivers/Constructors many seasons. Your hopium is hilariously despirate 😂

[@sebastianahrens2385]

Red Bull's form now compared to last year reminds me of Ferrari in 2002 and 2003. In 2002, they had as many constructor's points as the entire rest of the grid combined, in 2003 they suddenly really had to fight and Schumi only got WDC 2 points ahead of Räikkönen. I guess this just is how the turn tables.

In Austria, Lando having a faster car he could wait on a straight with DRS it was a rooky move to try to pass Max in that curve., there were enough laps to go to make the pass with DRS,

[@gaycha6589]

Same could be said about max for the last two seasons.

[@billygoat520]

Being such a short track, second to Monaco, the DRS was not so powerful where a car .08 sec a head was a sitting duck, even a half second interval was not close enough at Austria. I am all for shorter straights in the DRS era.

[@CJ5EVOLUTION]

@@gaycha6589 yes that is true, but he passed with a lot more faster car than what Lando had back then, and Lando decided to pass Max on turn 3 which is not the smartest specially on the outside,. He could pass Max with ease on the last DRS straight between Curve 3 and 4 or catch him in the DRS straight in front of the grand stand between Curve 10 and 1, pass Max on turn 3 was more heart then mind used, a battle hoe have the bigger balls with someone that every one know have big balls is not the smartest thing.

[@CJ5EVOLUTION]

I think both had similar laps on their tires, Lando had 7 more laps to pass on DRS zone 1 and zone 3, but decided to do it in zone 2 on turn 3 and the outside, that was not right thinking, not saying Max was not at fault but, contact at turn 3 is almost always happens if someone try to go on the outside, other drivers had contact as well there in this race.

ALSO: their car is so famously bad at driveability that HISTORICALLY their 2nd driver it wasn't Ricciardo, Vettel, Albon, Gasly or Checo. is a car that behaves "as a mouse in 100% saturation" according to Albono himself Is their choice to focus completely on Max's driver championship over the constructors. Their choice, so they should suffer the consequences, sad that Perez was caught in the middle, even though he has no other options

[@veckgames]

Max represents the actual level of the car. Checo is just trying to one-up Ricciardo's McLaren arc.

[@BKKLB]

Jos needs to shut up and let his son do his job. He isn't helping anything. Max is contracted to drive the F1 race car. And he sure as hell doesn't need to be lecturing anyone about how to treat women. And they never should have brought those ideas from Mercedes 2023 car onto their 2024 car.

[@sandalphoncpu]

The more RB struggle, the more we see what Verstappen truly does. People love to say he’s matured but the reality is he doesn’t have to race dirty when he has a dominant car. It’s a shame that he has to resort to dirty tactics to stay ahead because any driver of his caliber would’ve easily done so without it. Take Alonso’s defense on Perez in Brazil and Vettel’s defense on Rosberg in Monza for instance. There’s a reason why Newey, Horner, and sometimes Marko didn’t label Verstappen as their most complete driver in RB.

[@nodekapunk]

Let’s just ignore Landos terrible execution with those divebombs. He could have avoided Max with the collision but didn’t. Other drivers squeeze all the time. Lando just got frustrated

[@Redlingstein]

Blablabla typical jealous hater comment 😂😂😂😂

[@sandalphoncpu]

@@nodekapunk Norris made those terrible divebombs was partly because Verstappen moved under breaking and reacting to Norris pulling out of his slipstream. Both are strictly not allowed, and have been severely punished in the past. And no you’re not comparing the same thing on the T3 incident. Other drivers are able to squeeze without incident precisely because they are already squeezing long before the braking zone, and the other drivers weren’t even 50% alongside. While Verstappen was braking in a straight line until he decided to *suddenly* turn into Norris when he was basically front axle alongside. That’s amateurish and nobody can react to that. All the former racing drivers on both Channel 4, SkySports and F1TV called out on Verstappen for that very reason.
