A chaotic race just to end it with a ham-ver finish is hilarious.
it seems they are just fated to draw into each other, no matter the distance they will always ending up together
@Trenbologna Sandwich why? What he says is so true this season
@Trenbologna Sandwich who hurt you kid?
@Trenbologna Sandwich mald
Lando Norris and checo Pérez 👎
Honestly this is some of the best content. No edits, flashy graphics or subtitles, and no commentary. Just putting you right there in first-person view of what was happening. Would be great to have more like it!
Unfortunately they paywall the best stuff
@@lukewood2662 yea f1tv
nah let's get some Euro-rave music over the top of this and show some celebrities in Lewis' pit
@@lukewood2662 I wouldn't pay for F1 TV Pro if it was on YT for free.
Ya liberty media has done a great job.
Crystal clear communication is an understatement. When he said "Focus on your driving" and delivered info about other drivers only when it was important, not when it was asked for, that shows a level of trust between the driver and the race engineer.
FACTS
The race engineer kinda annoyed me, I found him often communicating while Max was in the middle of a hard corner.
@@MKelly1923 In the middle of a corner is actually better than right before one or sth.
@@MKelly1923 because max isn't bothered by communication in hard corners lol. helmut said once he has never met a driver like max who can easily communitate into corners like he's on a straight. him and gp have worked together since 2016. i think gp knows how and when to tell and not tell max stuff.
Gianpiero Lambiase is known and almost legendary for his precise and crystal clear communication with his drivers through his career. And much praised by Verstappen. He has full confidence in "GP" to guide him through the race.
Probably one of the most important results of the year for Max leading up to final GP.
Yep, if he finished any lower, he would have lost the WDC
@@markymark5090 that’s the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen
@@markymark5090 ifs and buts
@@markymark5090 not exactly cos if he needed more points after this race then he would have told himself he needs the points and would push harder
yup..if it was not for the rain, he would have finished 6th, causing a 9 point deficit and hamilton would have been champion by a point :o
Max was the biggest winner in Sochi. Right place, right time. To take an engine penalty and finishing P2 is a huge win. This season just keeps giving!
Having not seen the race, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the results
And I don't know if Lewis will be able to finish P2 when he will change PU. Also Max would have finished P7 or P6 without the rain. So the conditions of the race the weekend Lewis will change PU will be crucial
@@pixelyzd probably P7 without the rain, he was losing time to Alonzo, doubt he could have done P6.
As all the drivers are now cheating to rig the Championship against Hamilton. As soon as Lewis took lead, drivers 2-5 all existed the race with 1.5 laps to go, to allow Max to take podium. Nobody decided to stay and fight for the podium! Total fraud! F1 should stop this fix against Hamilton because it’s so obvious it’s disgusting!
@@Naija4K is this a copy pasta?
I can listen to Max’s race engineer all day haha. His instructions are so crisp, confident and professional .
There's a rivalry even between the two engineers. Haha I don't know who I like the most, Bono or GP.
@Dfg k ...Totaly agree, i can not listen to Gasly's engineer instead, that guy would drive me crazy ;)
You think *Norris* would tell *GP* to SHUT UP? 😂 🤣
@@smiddy0000 Aah come on Gasly's engineer's voice is calming too with that french accent.
Unlike Perez' engineer, not very acurate...
When you compare that to Norris... Full trust, no discussions, excelent guiding through the conditions. Amazing.
I think you have to have some consideration for Lando. It was his first race to win so the excitement was higher than with for example Lewis or Max. Lando will get there in the end though..But yes, what a difference in comms..
@@the_fleeing_dutchman he will learn from these experiences, max is a seasoned driver he's been there many times and knows how to win races
I think Lando in that instance was so rude telling his engineer to shut up, while he was in desperate need for information. Shows how experience is really important, Lewis was so reluctant to pit, but just did, cuz he knows the pit wall has the full picture, just asked "you sure?" then said "ok." same thing with Max, "Box Box" didn't even try to discuss, full trust.
@@mahdixn The difference being that Lando was asked what he thought (repeatedly), while the other drivers were told what to do. Don't think you can blame Lando for it
@@mahdixn if they told him rain intensity is going to increase a lot in 2-3 minutes. pit next lap (when he 1st refused it) that will give him much different picture - it was jsut misty at that moment
I don't understand why people are degrading Max by saying he just got lucky to pit at the perfect time making him go p20 to p2; And then also feel pity for Norris for not doing so and says he was unlucky and praises him only. Don't get me wrong. I love all drivers. They are incredibly talented. But if you are going to say Norris deserves better when he was the one who couldn't figure out the best strategy fast enough, why are you not appreciating the fact that Max and his team found the best time to do so?
Yes , you are correct : Max : "I'm losing time isn't it? I think we should come in this lap as we are only losing time" Lando : "What do you think about inters Lando?" ... "NO!!!"
I agree, I love lando but he made a bad decision. Max made the right one.
Yeah, I don't like Hamilton.
And norris showed that he was still not mature enough for winning titles
brit bias.
The fact he still managed P2 despite starting P20 is insane.
the rain helped him, he was lucky.
There are many more drives more insane. And stop exaggerating please, it would have been a P7. Open your eyes
@@mohammed_the_train_spotter did the rain help max only ,I don't think so,most drivers are lucky and even unlucky like lando,so why don't you and cry somewhere else
@@bombergame8636 yeah and ham would be p2.. so the points diff in the wdc would be 4 instead of just 2. So i don't think it made much of a diff.(unless ham would pass lando)
@@bombergame8636 yeah I opened my eyes and saw max was 2nd on podium behind hamilton,maybe you are the one who shouldn't watch Max spectacular performance from P20 - P2
Really like this format. No silly songs and commentary, just the audio from the driver and his engineer.
Tell that to those making them tic tok shorts.....
...and the sound of Max's RB engine roaring 👍❤👍
Yeah this is so much better. So much more information is conveyed here, really interesting
agreed
@@drewp9905 Honda i mean come on it on the fecking wing
I can't imagine how Lewis must have felt when he saw max standing next to him at P2 😂😂😂😂 the worst win of his life 😂
He surely hoped it was Perez, checked the car and probably told to himself '' dang this dude again''
You got that right mate! Worse feeling standing next with your rival on the podium 😂
@@kyomasanyxa7697 isn't Lewi's crew telling him on the microphone that Max is at p2 for last two laps?
@@janishhasheer5548 yes ofc but it's just for the memes
It's his 100th win tho.
Everyone praising Lewis for p20 to p1 finish in Brazil, where it was a sprint + race. How Max came from p20 to p2 in just a race is more spectacular imo.
After getting shamelessly caught red handed for a wider DRS wing and shifting blame onto Max's contact with the wing , not worthy of praise at all. Silverstone and Brazil were capped brutally.
@@sairamr6886 it was a minor infraction really - the wing passed the test towards the centreline but failed marginally towards the edge. Not worth the 4 tenths he was on pole by. Both in this Russia race, and at Brazil - Verstappen and Hamilton extracted the most potential from the car, as both of them did all season.
@@pjb2960 still, dq'ed.
@@pjb2960 While I agree that the margins were most likely very small, assuming that is the only performance gained is disingenuous. The test is essentially applying a set force to the wing with a precise instrument set to the maximum allowed width. It either passes or it doesn't. As you correctly point out, it didn't fail all tests, only the new one introduced to prevent teams from using overly flexible wings which bent more than FIA liked under load. We cannot assume how influential this change is at top speed where the mercs excelled. Lastly, whether victims of chance (I believe merc were quoted as saying it simply wasn't installed correctly) or malice, the teams knew the regulations. In real life you always have to deal with tolerances and deviations for engineering. Playing too close to the edge sometimes bites you. TL:DR quoting margins of failure in a test that is essentially pass/fail with the instrument misrepresents the situation.
@@sairamr6886 absolutely disgusting display of poor sportsmanship at Silverstone and Brazil was just nothing special, all of his overtakes were with drs, man had a 15 mph advantage without drs down the pit straight
I love GP's energy over the radio. Great chemistry between Max and him
Very clean communication between the two.
@@Sacrilege7294 Indeed, clean, straight and to the point.
GP's communication style is top notch. Every message is reassuring and to the point.
When I was in the Airport on the way home from the French GP in 2019 I saw him and a load of the Red Bull mechanics, I realised it was him when I heard the voice, he’s really nice to listen to.
I love JP and how, after all this time, I still have to listen closely to see if it's him or Horner.
The thumbnail is wrong to call it Max’s “frenetic” final laps. That driving was so smooth and controlled it actually felt relaxing to watch. Hard to believe that’s a race car at its limits in the rain when everything looked so smooth. Some impressive driving.
He could have been listening to Chillstep while finishing the race. So smooth and chill
smooth = fast . drifting = slow
No one drives like max , he is above everyone
Yet Lewis put 20 seconds on him in the rain, now that's impressive.
@@andrewbell7579 when?
Max was so unlucky during 2021, but these final laps in Sochi maybe gave him the title. What a drive, he absolutely deserved it.
He was so lucky in Russia
@@phamhieu7893wrong, Lewis was lucky. If Lando would have come in he would have stayed out.
@@bjrnchrstn That's why Lewis has won the race because he is more intelligent than Lando and Max is struggle to get into top 5
@@phamhieu7893 These guys don't make those decisions all by themselves, they've got an entire team to back them up. On that count, the Mercedes team consistently underperform in that regard compared to Red Bull, and Max has more of a knack of overruling team decisions in his advantage than Lewis does.
@@broyout3586 and Max is the son of FIA
I like how max always uses the word "WE" rather than "I"
Max is so calm. most drivers can’t handle having so much information on the radio, max made these laps look so easy.
...All drivers do this
mad max is one of loudest n angriest driver lol
Agree. You could clearly hear the difference between Lando and Max at the critical stage.
They're almost always relaying info on the radio but the tv broadcast chooses what to show and what not to show.
Max a calm driver?
Both of his overtakes on Ricciardo and Sainz before pitting should've been included, he was starting some rain master stuff there
Ha
Yeah missed the most important bit
true....they missed his best part
And haters be thinking he was gifted p2
@@user-yk6wu2cp4y I am a max fanboy, but I myself thought he got p2 gifted, I totally missed that he overtook Riccardo and Sainz. I was thinking that something didn't make sense but so much was going on that I literally thought everyone infront of him ended behind by pitting.
This race was just one huge example of how on-point Red Bull’s strategies were all season long. That plus (obviously) Max’s insane driving every race won a championship
The fact that others were still on slicks for so long is wild to me. But idk, I'm new to F1 so maybe there's some deeper reasoning.
@@RealEllenDeGeneresthe redbull just took a gamble by going on to wets early, but others gambled on dry tires thinking that it won't rain much to switch to wets. That's the only explanation I could think of.
Impressive thing about this performance was that although not shown in the video, Max was the one who suggested to pit just before it started pouring. I saw in another video of the same race that it was actually Max who suggested it. The level of trust between the driver and engineer is amazing, and that pit single handedly gave Max P2. Amazing performance overall and Max as always is a beast in wet conditions.
Horner says that at the end of the video. Max judged it correctly. No surprise really.
Whereas Norris was adamant about staying on slicks until the last moment. Huge experience and talent difference there.
It's unbelievable how calm and casual Max is and how level and solid his engineer is as compared to Lando and his engineer. Seidl wasn't wrong in saying this race exposed some of the shortcomings of Mclaren as a team.
Agreed. I’m a huge Lando fan but that was a mess. That’s what happens when the parents (McLaren) let the kid (Norris) make the decisions.
Yeah outside of last week, McLaren are a little unfamiliar with leading races in this era. They'll learn from it.
Yep, McLaren did well in Monza when the weather is fine and things go accordingly, but when it rains.....
I think Lando also lacks a lot of experience that Max has but even so you could tell McLaren was much more anxious then Red Bull
Give Lando a break. Once he's had that first win, he'll be a lot calmer. Just put yourself in his shoes for a moment. He'd driven a perfect race, looked after his tyres at the start, kept a 7 time world champion behind him for the majority of the race and all of a sudden it started spitting with rain. He made his stay out decision based on what he knew and what he was told, and then he realised he was too late to change the tyres and win when the rain just dumped down on him. We'd _all_ be rather frantic and frustrated if we were in the same place.
"P2 is on here, mate" "Alright, let's go" What a drive
This guy drives as if he was the F1 CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
Well, here you go :)
Have you seen the news, bro?!
@@harleyb7880 he commented after Abu Dhabi he knows what he’s done here 😂

It's a shame they didn't show his entire in-lap, because that's where Verstappen secured his second place. The grip on his medium tires was much better than on the hard tires of Ricciardo and Sainz in front of him. That allowed him to overtake them and then all three of them dove into the pits. Everyone in front of Verstappen when he came out of the pits was still on slicks exept for Hamilton, so those were easy overtakes.
He was lucky, no need to make up stories.

What we hear in the video is very delayed, GP said that while Max was on the straight. You can tell because when Max presses his radio button he hear him 20 secs later.

@@fk4410 true, with my less talent as an 37 yeas old boy
i feel like we all don't completely know what all the drivers are feeling and thinking at that moment- they only know what they can see in front of them and what their engineers are telling them. And, they do it for 50+ laps. this is a great snippet of just pure driver's perspective.
They get some info on their steering wheel like gear, speed, ERS and delta, but I can image that'll be hard to look at during the race
the best thing you can do is get sky tv f1 channel you can select onboard only channel no commentary just engine sound
I love the way he doesn’t even question the team when they tell him to box The trust here is amazing
Max admitted in one of his WDC interviews last week that if his engineer decides to retire, he will retire as well.
@@CJGZW1993 not retire change the team
1:54 adjusting the settings on his steering wheel while correcting oversteer coming out of the corner. That's insane
Talking about the championship, he is the real winner of this race
YES 😎👍
yep only 2 points away after the two races in which mercedes had the better car and setup (layout suiting more the mercs) max did as much damage limitation as he could and looking into the next races + a possible 4th engine for hamilton i would say it doesn't look to bad :)
Absolutely brilliant result for Max - from last to second. Completely eliminated that engine penalty. Only thing better would have been Lewis staying out on slicks and crashing, but that would be like hitting the lottery.

You can see him looking after that front left as soon as he's told to. That's real forward thinking by the team and complete trust from the driver that resulted in a much bigger advantage in the long run.
Kind of crazy to think if Lewis stayed out for one more lap like Norris, max would’ve likely won
Nope 52 sec ahead of p2
If he had just stuck with the 3-place penalty and started behind Lewis, the best result would still have been P2. Red Bull taking the engine penalty here might have been the best decision they did this year.
I’m pretty sure Mercedes/Hamilton are praying for a miracle.
Hamilton was so salty when he celebrated only to realize it was verstappen who finished p2

@@harsh8686 Max? Obstreperous? That's like saying Kimi Raikkonen is loquacious. Max....you mean, the guy who walked away from his car...that was on top of Lewis' car?

Watch his hands throughout this clip. Listen to his voice. Both are calm and controlled. Even his celebration.
This so calming to watch. The engine note and the gear shift sound were so relaxing
Max is so impressive. To think he'd likely be 40-50 points clear were it not for the 2 Mercedes driver shunts he copped this year, it will be an absolute shame if he doesn't get the title. In the meantime, fans are getting the best season in many many years...
He'd probably be only 12-20 point clear with this race with his DNFs. The point gap speculation from those crashes are over exaggerated.

@@loveisblindness1352 you are leaving out the fact that Hamilton would have scored points in those races also. Hamilton would have gained in Monza, verstappen got free points at Spa.

Thats the easy part for the rain master 🙂
Where can I see that?
Did he overtake them because of their mistakes?
Max is the master of mixed conditions. What a smooth driver!
Love the one-handed counter steer at 1:58 pure skill
And how stern and direct it is
Max is the best race driver in the world imo, this clip shows even more evidence of that. His composure and decisive driving keeps him and others safe by being too fast to mingle with in the most difficult conditions. He even has the wherewithal to wave to the pit and crowd within seconds of finishing while communicating and driving. Regardless of the stats, his driving is the best I have seen, consistently, since Senna.
Crazy how the track changed in just 1 lap
So codemasters’ games are realistic after all 😂
Crazy indeed! When seeing that heavy rain, I’m just impressed that Lando managed to avoid a serious crash… on slicks that car must have felt like a boat!
The most impressive thing is actually not on this video. Max makes the decision to box a couple of seconds before this. While he is the one keeping the car on track as others go off. The only one as quick as him is Leclerc. Who decides to continue. Max has the perfect feel when to pit. That brings him P2 in this race. All others have easier decisions to make, or make worse decisions. HAM pits 'opposite to NOR'. Lando makes the wrong call. Sainz and Ricciardo were off allready, Bottas and Raikkonen went early because they had nothing to lose. The moment Verstappen tells his team that he thinks they are 'losing time one this tyres', that is where he wins the championship.
Hamilton didn't want to pit. Merc forced him to pit to cover Max. It would have been hilarious had he stayed out like Lando. It happened in Turkey though. He lost two places due to his ego and nearly lost to Norris and Gasly as well.
@@Divergent19 Turkey he wanted to stay out especially after 2020 he stayed out and won but Mercedes cocked up big time that day it was one of several mistakes that cost him last year.

He was right for 2 or 3 laps to stay out tbf, the engineers should have been more firm in saying, that the downpur is really starting

you can be a fan of whichever driver, but Max's drive was amazing. the community needs to acknowledge that these are some of the top drivers and the "chosen" drivers for the sport. its not easy to be in there. even for those paid drivers or daddy's team as some of the comments i see. its not easy to drive these cars so mad respect for the top ones that perform at such level.
I love this! Max has always been an absolute master in the rain!
Shame! The lap just before these was amazing. Verstappen keeping his low downforce car on worn out mediums on the track while everyone else couldn't, was great to see.
I agree they should have included that lap also.
this way of watching some of the best parts of a race is excellent, no chit-chat, no BS, just plain racing and team communications. EXCELLENT, and Red Bull made the right call at the right time with the tyre change and endrace strategy.
Verstappen was completely flawless in Sotchi, drivingwise, timingwise and tacticswise!
Max world champion in low top 10 "people are going off here I'm not sure what to do" Lando race leader to team: "Shut up!!!"
Perfect strategy by the crew, perfect composure by Max. So satisfying seeing this well-oiled machine pull off such a race

Never liked Verstappen before, but respect him more and more. He's otherworldly.
I love Max, I’m sorry. He’s just such a high-level Operator and his personality is great. Even though I have trouble understanding somethings on certain radio messages, it’s definitely just me and not him especially since he speaks more than one language. I like how he is almost immune to pressure and just keeps his head down and goes to work. He was silent for like half the video focuses on clawing his way back. Seriously, starting last and finishing P2 and a stellar performance. Отлична!
As much as I’m a Ham fan, this still was too drawer!!!! Love it 👏🏽
Same
@MrLewisBate Most Lewis fans are also fans of Max .... he reminds us of young Lewis.
@@johncale1849 max is so different from young Lewis
Respect bro 🤜🏻
@MrLewisBate but most Max fans are F1 fans? What do you base all that on?
I love how he casually left that Ferrari in his dust when both still on slicks.
the ferrari was on the hards, which is so much worse than the mediums in the wet
Ferrari on HARD , typical casual maxfanboy
@@mago97615 lulu fans are weird. why come to a Max video just to spam your silly hate?
@@charlieknight4521 And Max was on a way less downforce setup than any midfield/top runner, which makes it extremely difficult in the wet, especially on slicks. Less downforce = less grip = less heat on tyres = way harder.
@@violt2014 So is that way George was so fast in Belgium. Guess Lewis is excused
This race was incredible from Max. He and Red Bull showed they deserve a title - and that's coming fron a Hamilton fan btw. Absolutely immense driving and strategy
Finally a not a command of hate this is what I needed❤️
And how do you feel now that he is world champ?
It's honestly a privilege to watch Max Verstappen drive, and he's even better now it's crazy
I can't wait to see Hamilton take his eventual engine penalty and attempt the same climb up the grid
The FIA is going to help him hahaha all the pilots are going to have +5sg hahaha
Which he will fail at doing so easy championship for Max
@@Asviix never easy against lewis
Yeah max did great to go from 20-7th with just skill
@@Asviix never easy against FIA
The synergy between Max and his engineer is unparalleled! Engineer's on point, giving all the information Max would want while Max shows his rain mastery on track. Both of them complimenting/pushing each other at the potential P2 is simply lovely (lol) to see. They're just dialled in, together!
if bottas would let in pit when he wanted max would be 3rd
Time and time again I come here and watch this. It's such a relaxing experience
So calm, in control, great communication with GP.. Lando can learn a lot from Max.
Unfortunately they didn't show the overtakes he made before. Also Max wanted to pit, so he made the right call
max: "i think we should box because we are really losing time" Gp: ok max box, in pit lane tyre 3 and strat 12..
@@wvanhelden If the video started few seconds earlier there was this conversation. GP: Is the rain any worse? Max: I'm loosing or time. Yeah I think we should box, we are loosing time.
Congratulations Max , I wish you all the best to enjoy your day like crazy you deserve it , you are so committed to what you do that inspires me to continue . supeeeeer Maaaaax🧡
Max has the best engineer. Clear communication, unlike Lewis where twice they went wrong with the tyre strategy. Horner too is a great team boss. Calm and composed unlike Toto
thanks for saying this it feels like I'm taking crazy pills every time reddit complains about Christian..he's absolute class and an integral part to f1. also GP is a cut above every other race engineer like you said
GP is a legend
this already feels like ancient history now
Credit where credit is due . Max called it, he asked about pitting, thanks to that ferrari going wide. Max was lucky that the weather changed yes, but it wasnt luck that made him call it , he took that opportunity himself without being asked or told.
Smoothness of his drive is amazing.
It’s impressive to watch in this clip. So smooth on the throttle application and quiet hands given how slippery it is. You end up with the feeling that this is a relaxing drive and not a race care at the limit of it’s traction in the rain. Pretty impressive.
This is why I love F1. You can feel the intensity and the tension
WDC winning race from the GOAT
GP > Bono
Pie with the facts
letsgo that's class!
Bono has a better voice
Bono sounds better, but yes.
Both are the best at what they are doing, but I feel like GP and Max have a better relationship outside racing, while Bono and Lewis are more professional.
McLaren engineer: Lando, you are P1 Lando: SHUT UP!!! RedBull engineer talks the whole time Verstappen: Tell me more about it
It's lando's first time in p1 so it's understandable, max also has some heated moment in the radio lol.
The difference experience makes
@@shaikolm Applies on both lando and team .
@@ojashgupta5458 yep. The team hasn't been in this kind of situation for years
Should've included the entire in-lap. THAT was where he made it all happen next to the perfect decision to pit when they did.
Max: “Heavy rain here, mate. Heavy rain.” GL: “Copy, mate. Copy. Keep it on the black stuff.” …..idk why but that quick back and forth is just my favorite. I’ve watched this at least 4 times haha.
The car has black that is darker than the asphalt.
Finally F1 are giving raw footage!
Great teams have great race engineers.
Super clean and clear how he gives Instructions
"it'll be blue flags for occon ahead" *Brazil 2018 flashes before his eyes*
