I guess it says something about the quality of the drives this year that Carlos' win in Australia two weeks after appendicitis surgery wasn't even mentioned as a contender... 😅 Anyway, I always enjoy the LB awards! See y'all next season

I love when you all get the giggles! 🤭 Merry Christmas from across the pond in Canada 🎄

Damn Harry...that Belgium beer looks good. Keep it up boys...and 'ello Clives.

51:48 interesting that you chose Charles for the driver of the year because of his consistency, completely ignoring the fact that Max never finished below 6th (excluding the Aus DNF) despite having the 3rd, sometimes 4th, fastest car on the grid…. Like having a car that cannot catch a Haas in the sprint and then a day later putting it on pole…

24:07 drive of the season to GR in Belgium is just icky…. Max in Brazil is literally one of the best drives of all time.

Clives is cringe, love you guys but no. Just no.

How can you miss the Brazil radio about the fastest lap. I believe it was either Lewis or Charles informing about the fastest lap with the response: forget it, it is way too fast

How can you go for Silverstone as the race of the year? I can’t even remember any highlights. Give me Brazil as an epic race that clearly highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the title contenders

All of Canada 🇨🇦 thanks you!!

Not me rewatching after listening on Patreon just for the vid bc Sam told us off

26:34 here’s the thirst trap

17:25 “I am many many ages” -Clives

Awesome! The wait is ovah! Take that RedBull and your silly driver news! We're doing this today boys! Woooooo!

GET IN THERE CLIVES!!! YOU THE MAN!!

LETS GOOOOO!!

All this talk about Lewis will age like milk when next year result is waaayyyyy better than 2024.

Some interesting facts for the top 2 drivers in this years championship that should put expectations of Liam into perspective: 1. Max wasn't the #1 Red Bull Driver until his 4th full season in F1 2. Norris didn't have a single win until his 6th season in F1, in his first 2 seasons, he only had 1 podium! A realistic benchmark for a rookie doing a decent job in a decent car was Piastri's 2023 season, when he came 9th in the championship. That included 2 podium results. At the end of last season the Red Bull was behind all of Ferrari, MacLaren and Mercedes, as the 4th fastest car.

Lawson was on Tsunoda's Pace from Day One - it took Yuki three years to get to that pace. So experience hasn't a lot to do with it. Horner has now said that while Tsunoda's qualifying times were marginally quicker - hundreths oif a second - Horner says data showed Lawson's race pace was quicker - race pace wins races. And Lawson was driving on tracks he had never seen before, so qualifying he was probably still learning the track. - it was Yuki's fourth season on those tracks. I reckon Lawson show's real potential. Your statements that Red Bull has somehow failed when you haven't seen the data is just silly. Yes it is going to be tough for Lawson racing against Max - but there is a reasonable chance a lot of people will be eating their words in a few months imo.

One thing I did notice about Liam is how well he looks after his tyres. I can't remember which race it was that he stayed out 10 plus more laps than most. (Notably, Verstappen.) And he was still on the pace. I reckon Lawson could be Verstappen's Bottas. Super excited to see Bottas back in Mercedes. He will be a great example for Liam to watch and learn from while racing him.

I'm thoroughly going to enjoy seeing Liam fail hard. His little fangirls will scream i'm a hater but even they can not deny RB's second seat drama. Liam's average points per race (0.66) are even lower then Checo's last 8 races (1.0) and barely half of what Yuki scored (1.25). Funny how nobody wants to talk about actual race results when it comes down to it, they all wish to deny reality and want to claim Liam would be better without having anything except their biased fanboy opinions. Average points per race and actual results are what matters.

Well, choosing Liam over Yuki is, from Red Bulls view, is reasonable. Red Bull can steer Liam: Help Max anyway you can, and help the team. Basically: Be the number two driver. Yuki would challenge Max from the get go because he is a Honda driver, not a Red Bull driver.

Just a couple of questions guys..... How long has YT been at AT/VCARB in F1 and what's the nature of his team mate battles? He got schalacked by Gasly on debut, OK no huge disgrace there as Pierre is more than decent when he's interested. The gap narrowed in 2022 and he wasn't that far from Pierre. In 2023 he was marginally better than a very mediocre Ricciardo fresh from being sacked by McLaren. 2024 he produced some consistent results while the car was good but he wasn't really had it all over Lawson who has had a very unsettled entry into F1 getting 5 races 13 months on a simulator then 6 races. It's hard not to see Lawson improving after half a season broken into two fragments. Yuki has never looked anywhere near top shelf in his F1 career and has had some very worrying traits - sorry he has NOT exorcised the angry swearing that he first shocked us with. How would that temperament handle the blowtorch of Max Verstappen?

Yuki is a Honda driver and was only signed to RedBull once Honda became the engine for RB. No more Honda engine, no need for Yuki, Redbull has a list of development drivers on their ladder. Yuki was never picked up by Redbull before the Honda deal.

Tsunoda and Lawson have raced 11 times together . The score is 6 - 5 Lawson . Are you sure Tsunoda "beat " him overall ? He out qualified Lawson but finished behind him more often than he finished in front . It's not where you qualify but where you are at the chequered flag that counts . And based on results alone , Lawson did better .

Lawson is adaptable and gets up to speed quickly and hasn't put his car into the wall (yet) and he races forward generally and he has a lot more miles than Yuki in the RB20. Yuki Tsunoda lost the most places of any driver during the 2024 Formula 1 season, finishing 1.7 places lower than he qualified on average and he crashes a lot 7.9m over his 4 seasons and 2.1m in 2024. Liam is under a tenth of Yuki (except Las Vegas) and faster in sprint qualies and at COTA in Q1 was faster than Yuki's Q1 & 2 times. So the 6-0 figure doesn't tell the whole story but it looks good for Yuki fans. I am a Liam and Yuki fan so I was happy either way but I have to check the details to get a fair picture.

The harsh reality is Ford will be Red Bulls powertrain supplier, and Yuki is tied to Honda as much as Honda can say they will back and support him no matter where he goes. It would be a bad look for Ford if Yuki went out and did a Honda promo. There is politics to the decisions made, and Liam has shown talent and that he will follow team orders. Whereas Yuki has not demonstrated that he will follow team orders by throwing a temper tantrum even this year over the radio when he was given team orders. Red Bull right now are looking to have a driver learn from Max that will take over as their number one is the perfect candidate as he’s not tied to any major car brand, and can learn from max plus with max starting a family and already having expressed that he does not wish to do Formula One forever. They are training their next future superstar. Red Bull have done this before they did it with Weber and Sebastian then with Sebastian and Daniel and Daniel and Max. They typically don’t want their number one challenged for a period of one to two years while number two that is the number one is getting climb Battailles to the car and racing at the top team, and then all hell breaks loose and the flip typically and the one that was number two slowly starts to become number one and the one that was number one slowly becomes number two or leaves

Great that you are happy to be proved wrong. Won't take long for those results to come through- go Liam

Liam obviously has something Yuki doesn't, I'm surprised also that Yuki didn't get the seat but end of the day we don't know the data and they do.

What about Alpine and Mercedes they have put rookies in with no experience so why is it different that RB put in a driver who has 11 races. Also LL has bested Yuki in junior categories. Further, LL has done a lot of testing in the RB 19, 20 than Yuki, so RBR have a lot of data.

What a poor assessment of the situation. Name one race from the past four seasons that Yuki has driven that was as composed as Liam’s first race. Out of 90 races, he has shown very little that stands out. Oh, what a great argument that Yuki performed better than Liam both last year and this year. It would be pretty bad if that weren’t the case. Keep in mind that Liam has only been able to compete in a quarter of the races in 2023 and 2024 and still hasn’t performed much worse. Yuki has nine times more experience and has raced full seasons. Yuki is certainly not bad, but Liam has shown more in the races he’s driven than Yuki has in 90 races! A good choice by Red Bull. I just hope they give him the time now to drive a full season.

you have to wonder if Max had direct input into the Lawson/Yuki choice.

RB sacked Danny Ric then put Liam in the team then went from P6 to P8, Yuki then our ran Liam 6-0 yet Yuki was passed over this we have known for a while as Hadjar let slip he was replacing Liam at last race, I know everyone is up for 6 new drivers next year I think only 1/6 will make it the rest will cost teams a lot in repair bills

25:50 Here’s the deal though, Yuki has proven this season that he isn’t a team player and he will fight whoever is in the second seat, sometimes making it worse for both drivers. On the other hand, Lawson has been a team player and has been mentored by Max for years. They will keep designing that car around Max, because that is the way they keep Max. With Lawson being used to Max’s instruction and receptive to it, they are hoping Max can coach Liam to be somewhat successful in that car. Plus, they are looking forward. It is pretty clear that Max is going to retire from F1 after 2028 at the latest. They need a second seat driver that can take that mantle when Max retires, not an older driver that may be at or past their peak.

8:37 sure, but it was Danny who broke the relationship, and Danny, who couldn’t handle being second driver to Max. That is the sad truth of it. You could see it when he came back at the beginning of the 2024 season that he realized that he had made that mistake, but it was too little too late. It really sucks, because Danny would’ve been an amazing second driver if he could’ve grown up and gotten into that point a little bit quicker.

The problem is, I think that car is way off of the pace. Period for Max to be finishing as low as he is (although not lower than six this season) does mean the car is far out there. Unfortunately, I think anybody they put in that second seat is going to struggle. I think they figure rolling the dice on a younger kid who could maybe learn to adapt to the car, and someone who has been mentoring for years, so he will be open and receptive to advice and instruction from Max is probably the best option.

8:00 I think their program is working exactly as intended. If they had thrown Riccardo, said to say, since he’s one of my favorite drivers, into that second seat to Max right away, it would’ve been a disaster and he would’ve ended like Perez probably.

No. Yuki is eright there, this just pisses off Yuki and ruins lawson

1:08:59 actually the mirror did not cause the punctures, Hamilton and signs grabbing too much of those curbs n 32 lap old tires were the result of the punctures.

thanks for reminding me of the best radio of the season "Rickyyyyy"

29:54 not only that, but a lot of people feel to realize, is that when he wasn’t winning races he never finished sixth in any Grand Prix, not counting the DNF in Australia. Never finished below 6th! That is how he won this WDC. Purely on phenomenal skill and consistency.

Great review. Nice to relive the season through here

Idk if you guys are aware, but Alonslow hasn't won a race in over 10 years or had pole position in over 10 years. He was gifted the title in 2005 by FIA screwing Ferrari with the tire rule. He was then losing in 2006 before Michael Ferrari blew up in Japan. He was gonna lose that title otherwise. The way you guys talk about Alonso is laughable. "if he gets a sniff of a win, you can't stop him" tell me another 'great' that went 10+ years of active driving without a win, pole, or anything of significance. Most OVERRATED driver in history. most of his career achievements are before 2007.... he also got smoked by a rookie in 2007.

Lance is just a safety hazard… nothing more.

Nope Seb is Mr RedBull

Harry drinking a Corona. 🤮 Step it up boy!

I remember last podcast you guys said you would choose Colapinto over the HULK. 🤔 I'd be surprised it he gets a seat next year let alone 2026.

Not sure how many people are audio only but I watch every video. Love the podcast guys, thanks for the great content!

... I see you pandering to your US audience.
