Checo is playing a massive role in RedBull’s fight to the top
Checo is the 2nd driver red bull needed
@@skywrld1 he’s bottas 2.0
I wish Checo wins a couple of races with Max in 2nd. Just to add a lil more pressure on Lewis that there is someone closing on to him for 2nd position
Redbull better keep him and pay him.
@@mohibzafar4585 he’s bottas but better and more consistent. Truly the perfect no.2 driver. Bottas is a little too complacent but Perez really wants it
Pirelli: let's hire Checo next season to learn more about our tyres.
Next year Pirelli with Checo as a boss : our hypersoft lasts 30 laps y'all.
He is the GOAT of tyre management!

Also don't forget about vettel's tyre management. Both of them are absolutely beast when it comes to tyre management

Love the difference how Lewis gets treated vs how Valterri does... Case in point. After Lewis gets p2 in France Sorry Lewis this one's on us. Valterri after the pit crew stuffed his wheel...Toto comes straight out with, Valterri didn't stop correctly. Am I the only one getting a tad annoyed at Mercedes for crippling Valterri?

That's exactly what happened to Vettel/Gasly/Hamilton in Monaco
Who's Daniel? It's Darren
Bottas doesn’t get the respect he deserves from his team. You can hear his frustration.
Bottas wants to be treated as if he's the #1 driver for Mercedes, not Hamilton. Bottas was very successful when with Williams but Hamilton, pure and simple has superior driving skills. If Hamilton and Bottas raced head up against Hamilton for 10 races, no team rules, who do you think would win the most races? Don't you think that Mercedes has figured that out in simulation and actually on the track? Why do you think each team fields 2 drivers? For them to race each other? Er, probably not. To ensure one of them has the best chance to win. If your simply tired of one person dominating the sport, then say that. Although no one seemed to mind as much when Michael Schumacher dominated it. I'm just saying.....
@@chriswilliams8849 The love they give to him must not depend on his success alone...
@@adrianovalente4644 I agree. Both of them make millions of dollars to do a job and they both have defined roles. Mercedes has been making more mistakes than usual this year. I personally feel that fans make more out of both drivers relationships with Mercedes because they are tired of Hamilton's total dominance, hence some of the ludicrous statements, accusations and general dislike for Hamilton. Add in a smattering of racism and there you have it. Bottas has proven that he isn't Hamilton's superior on the track. And the appearance that Hamilton is treated better than Bottas is a misnomer. But that's just my opinion
Bottas: "IT'S A 2 STOPPER"
Pérez: "Qué?"
The Verstappen-Perez duo feels much more solid than the Hamilton-Bottas duo at the moment. You could sense it at the end of the race when Max and Checo celebrated together, a solid team. What a move for Red Bull the signing of Checo has been, he's doing exactly what he was signed for, being there in the fight with the Mercedes and scoring big points for the Constructor's Championship (and winning when Max can't).
On the other side, I feel like all this years of using Valtteri for Lewis' sake is taking a toll on Mercedes, cause honestly Valtteri sounds frustrated and disappointed with the team.
The title fight is on!
Bottas is never helping tho
"Years of using Valterri for Hamilton's sake" what? That 1 race in Russia a few years back?
@@tarnjeetjohal4219 ?? Merc deployed Bottas as a roadblock in 2nd place forever
@@tarnjeetjohal4219 and when has Bottas been the "first" for them? only like very very few times Lewis has let his teammates shine even if he knows they could outshine him sometimes, he still wants to be on top, it was the same with Nico until it degraded their friendship into just Nico not wanting to be anywhere near the guy... i'm sure it's the same again with Bottas with Bottas having to be the "second" to lewis so so many times that it's degrading his 1.self-value as a driver 2.friendship with his teammate and team like you heard in this race he was frustrated with mercedes... 3. it's making mercedes lose out on points when the team is not working together anymore, only reason it kinda worked in Nico era was because Nico was better or atleast on same speed that year where he won against Lewis... Valtteri is an amazing driver, but having to shadow Lewis has for sure hurt his career
@@FaceFish9 butmerc can't afford any of those nico-lewis moment this year, if that happen they gonna lose the championship

You know the Mercedes strategists messed up when even Bottas loses his cool.
so very true......
Crofty "red bull has never won 3 races in a row in the turbo hybrid era until now".
Oh you have no idea what's coming buddy. 🤣

Checo really showed that he is a master of tire management.
checo wasnt in the fight thats what gave him the advantage. he wasnt under pressure so he was able to keep his tyre in the perfect window
@@tiramija3894 it's not the first time he has done this
Lando too, they both held out really late compared to everyone else.
@@tiramija3894 That is why he backed off to a comfortable +5 seconds behind Bottas in the beginning to keep in nice fresh air and preserve the tyres for a long run keeping track position.
It was masterful! That's what caused Merc to doubt on the two pit stop. Finally RB has the second driver it needs to try different strategies and cause Merc errors in their own strategies.
The fact Perez pulled that off by pitting just once is even more impressive.
wait perez only pitted once?
Perez is absolutely performing this season
@@AKagNA yessir, went late with those mediums
@@AKagNA yes, he did 24 laps on the mediums so when he passed bottas he had “new” hards

And the last lap is exactly like Abu dhabi
increadible
Absolutely incredible race. This season has been what most people have been waiting for for the last 4-5 years. It’s been epic. Especially since it’s been a chess game with strategies and beautiful driving.
Bottas could be chief strategist replacing James if he gets fired from the driver's seat
No cap. XD

-Perez is finally in a championship winning car.
- Well done to the McLaren boys.
- Pierre Gasly, top job as always.
- Not a bad drive from Alonso and the AMR boyz.

Man, Checo's tyre management is just out of this world.
Yep, in that regard he's as famous as Hamilton. And Red Bulls continue to exploit it by making Checo run the first stint much longer than most of the other drivers. And it worked several times already.

I expect a straight fight the whole season, depending on how development goes on each car and certain circuit characteristics this could go right down to the wire. That hasn't happened between two drivers of different teams since 2012, hopefully that can happen again.

Honda has such a bad time choosing when leaving F1. They should stay after seeing how RB is going
Honda, leaving f1 on such a bad time since 2008
Well they won't have the Honda name on the car anymore but they are not fully gone. RBR will take over their PU and some Honda engineers will transfer to RBR to help maintaining the PU (engine freeze till 2025). I read somewhere that Honda is currently in the final stages of their "farewell gift" to RBR and AT, which is the PU for 2022. Let's have Max and Checko give Honda a proper farewell by winning the Constructors and Drivers title.

And Checo is now doing basically what Albon or Gasly couldn't - putting pressure on Mercedes from behind so they couldn't get any fancy ideas about the strategy.
@@vincecarlo Yup. Checo is a great tire manager. And RB needed one of those. Max does it decently but Max is pushing the car so hard even doing 2 stops makes him faster than HAM
Basically MAX: Speed monster
Basically Checo: Tire ripper
These 2 drive styles is what the RB car needed.
👍👍👍👍👍
How is nobody talking about how lando came 5th, he is really proving himself this season
Lando is beasting all year long, but on a similar note Gastly is lowkey consistantly overperforming his car too in my eyes, heck even Stroll keeps proving he might have gotten his seat handed to him but he surely did grow into it and now deserves it on pure driver merrit.
because thats where the third best car should finish lol
@@S3FreaKzY By your logic its still Lando consistantly beating a seasoned veteran in Ricciardo. Pay respect where its due Norris is showing up for sure.
@@dutchdude1985 yeh he’s in my top 5 for sure but Daniel will start giving him a hard time now that he’s used to the car tho, I hope they keep getting 5 and 6 as the season goes on danny is my favourite driver
@@S3FreaKzY I truly hope so too, i really like Ricciardo and the simple point were debating Norris vs a Ricciardo coming into his true form should also be a huge compliment to just how far Norris got.
The crowd cheering when he took the lead absolute goosebumps
That rare moment when Hamilton’s tyres are actually gone when he says they’re gone.
There were a bit to wishful for the one stop race. The funniest part is that max was put on a set of used mediums.
I love this comment so much
Hamilton: Oh no my trres are gone
Hamilton 10sec later: Fastest lap
Well he is a magician with tyres normally so most of the time it's probably his driving saving the game. This time his driving wasn't enough and gone meant gone.
You mean in lap 8? XD
Toto Wolff: “We lost the race because Valtteri was too vocal on the radio”
If the sentence begins with ‘Michael’.. that’s a great comment 😂😂👌
Hamilton too
Because valterri didnt park the car properly while pitstop distracting everyone which hampered team's concentration and also he ate porridge for breakfast whose smell messed with the thinking capabilities of strategists duh
@@DyslexicMitochondria love your ussername. Love your conttent too
"he distracted Hamilton"
Merc decided not to go for 2 pit, likely because of Checo. He went long on his 1st set of tyres and he is known for his tyres management. Now they not only have to focus on Lewis vs Max... they better start looking at Checo.
Checo didn't do single pit stop?
@@anf1fan826 Checo did do a 1 stop, he pitted lap 24 I believe
"never won 3 races in a row" lol, they are at 15 now.. LOL
This was an amazing race!
- Max's unexpected mistake at the start
- The Red Bull Undercut AND Max's emergency second stop AND Checo's amazing drive AND Max's end of the race overtake for the win
- Both RedBulls on the podium (finally)
- Lando's fantastic recovery to From P14 to P5
- Seb had some great overtakes throughout the race
- McLaren had their quickest pit stops in years!
- No crashes
- No retirements
- No penalties
- No track limits
- No pitstop fails
Absolutely brilliant stuff! 😄
And Max winning🎉🇳🇱🤣
You're clearly an idiot. Left out Max's MAGICAL outlap which is what ultimately gave him the win.
Its actually more entertaining with crashes and all the other things.
both redbulls were actually on the podium last year in baharain. though albon got a very lucky podium there
Russel highest finish at p12
This race was a Perfect 10 in my opinion; Perfectly encapsulated what Formula 1 should be, didn't need safety cars or retirements to create scenarios. Perfect race from start to finish with strategy and on track overtakes going perfectly hand in hand. Max and RB are genuine contenders this year.
Mercedes on the back foot for once 3 straight wins for red bull with austria up next

@@thebarcaboardroom406 yeah where they would be also strong, merc is under pressure

Everybody: "French GP will be boring AF with Max on pole..."
First corner: "Well, let me introduce myself..."

Season so amazing that even made the French GP epic !
Max, Checo and of course the Red Bull team were absolutely fantastic in this race 💪
Incredible race from the Red Bulls! They did to Mercedes what Mercedes did to them back in Spain. Also can't help but feel bad for Bottas.
That quote is taken from the commentators.
Why they pitted him first instead of Hamilton that’s why Hamilton didn’t win I feel bad for Hamilton he clearly had verstappen in the bag
Feel Bad for Ferraris. They didn't have any Race Pace.
Feel bad
" Also can't help but feel bad for Bottas. " We will look back on his time at Mercedes in 20 years and that will be the quote to sum the entire thing up.
Why is no one talking about the absolute teamwork from Mclaren, every driver they took on they absolutely double teamed them
we know, but the emotion was with max's victory and red bull's strategy
Lando is a beast, that's all I have to say.
I love McLaren but I need the Monaco livery to come back
yes, they were great. I was keeping an eye on both of them through the race and they had great teamwork. Happy to see Ricciardo finally getting there.
Did Ricciardo get a new chassis? Either way happy to see him up to speed again.
So glad that Sergio is still in the game! What an epic encore last season. 👊😎

@@HerreDePerre nah bruh Baku was top tier.
That radio from Valterri shows that he’s continuing to lose confidence in his team.
@Dartgame 340 The team continues to treat him so badly, while he continues to help the team let Lewis benefit. The least they could do is to listen to their driver who knows the limits of their car and their tyres. And it's not just with Valtteri, because they also didn't listen to Lewis. Don't put such negative connotations to a man that was obviously treated wrong here by his team.
Valtteri*
about time bottas is a joke for putting up with it for years
It's just a pantomime, and it's easy to see.
@Dartgame 340 salty because he literally said they’ll lose on a one stop and they did. Hamilton lost on fresher tires as well
This season Mercedes-Bottas is like last season's Ferrari-Vettel...

Thanks for noting that out. I'm impressed by this fact more than the clash between red bull and Mercedes.
and without incidents still was very dramatic!
Let's hope HONDA will consider staying.
I'd like to give this a like but you're at a perfect number of likes already...
They will
Yeah, and new engine regulations will be canceled, and Red Bull Powertrains engine department will be removed, too late for that my friend
But i heard they will be using honda engine and it will be separately handled by red Bull team
Honda will assist red bull with the development of the new engines
This wasn’t necessarily a two-stopper.
It’s just that HAM and BOT were putting full pressure on VER after the first stop. Basically going way faster than all of them would’ve liked and burning up that rubber. While PER was just cruising behind. By then it basically became a two stopper and Red Bull pulled the trigger first.
However, because the gap was nearly 3 sec to VER, HAM would still end up behind him if he pitted. Even worse, PER would still be in front and HAM would need to clear him as well. That’s why Mercedes didn’t really have a choice other than staying out.
Alternatively, Mercedes could’ve pitted the second car and split the strategy. This would’ve been the most logical choice for constructor points and could’ve won BOT the 3rd place. But they decided against it and left BOT out as well to form a barrier against the charging VER. Basically sacrificing BOT again for the sake of HAM. And in the end, Mercedes lost both.
Hence it was a two stopper
Yeah, great point. If Bottas is there for anything it's the CC, not to get Lewis the DC. Disappointing from Merc. Happy though, RB fan
Merc doesn't care anymore. Didn't even pull out bottas for the fastest lap smh
Excellent analysis, totally agree 👌
Thank you Jim
It really warmed my heart to see how well Lando and Danny did this race. They're gonna end up contending for 3rd at the end of it all. Keep it up boys
This ver-per combination from red bull is elite
Bottas with Mercedes this season is like Vettel with Ferrari last season.
I'm agree you
Exactly
Poor bottas, he shd stay on the podium
Bottas, more like buttass
Hopefully Bottas is able to go back to Williams.
This is beautiful teamwork of checo and max🥺🇲🇽👏🏻
a race to remember for the decades 💓
Got to feel for Bottas. I’ve never heard him that angry
Because merc team is so arrogant
Because bottas never be like "James, its valterri" and always be like "Valterri, its james"
Nah not new for him, has gone through this for the last few years. One change was he showed that anger in front of everyone.
Yeah! He is there just to help Louis win
i honestly feel bad for bottas. he was fuming after the race
When there's no SC, accidents or any other thing that could cost a pilot his pace, it is now shown that the pace of Mercs and RB are faaar way better than the rest. Almost 50 seconds between Bottas and Norris at finish.

Predicting Mercedes will find a way to spin this as Bottas’ fault
Yeah, Toto actualy did. He said that Bottas flat spotted his tyres, making him come to the pits earlier than Ham, hence why they were undercut.
@@kushxmen geez. I guess Toto could also say that had he not gone wide, he could’ve held off Verstappen. Had he held him up for another lap or two and burnt the tires off, he might not have caught Ham.
@@TheBlackopsbeast360 That may be true but it was clear that VER was way faster than BOT and even if he did not go wide, VER would have easily passed him in the next straight. An example was with PER. He defended in the same corner well, but PER passed BOT way easily in the next straight and PER had older hard tyres than the younger Medium tyres VER had. In short, BOT race was compromised to help HAM but based on his tyres, he could not manage it. Mercedes put BOT in a hard place then blames him after.
@@kushxmen exactly
I’m curious what mistake Bottas did agree to be his this season. I’ve heard him blame Lewis for his own slow start in Spain, blame the team today for the fact he didn’t opt to still pit for softs after Perez got passed by him despite them being ready for it. And even blame the team to presumably give him the lesser car/losing strategy when a change of frame still easily proves Hamilton to be the better/quicker driver.
I’m not part of Merc, so I’m not that familiar with the way they handle things internally. But what I can see as an outsider is Bottas consistently blaming both Hamilton and the team, Hamilton having blamed the team once and Totto blaming Valteri serveral times as well.
If I remember correctly however, Bottas was the only one who didn’t try to rectify those statements or at least take back part of the blame he passed on… People tell me Merc is all about having a strong team culture rather then serving the individual but it seems to me Valteri is allowed so much more wiggle room then any other part of that team. I couldn’t imagine what would happen if Hamilton would even think about blaming Bottas for the mistakes he made himself…
Checo is seriously impressing me this year.
One of my favourites races of the season
I can’t believe they did it, they made the french gp exciting...
oh yesss
It's like barcelona.
Redbull deserves ALL the credit for this grand prix being exciting. Without them challenging the Mercedes, this would've been just another awful French GP
@@kbird9 now they are not challenging merc, Merc is challenging refbull. Now redbull is very fast car in qualifying and race pace.
@@roberttj5362 The cars are very close in performance. No matter what Lewis says, the cars really are close instead of one being faster than the other in all terms. So technically, these two teams are challenging each other so saying either is right.
I just want to point two things out that were interesting to me.
1.) Riccardo finished 6th and was very competitive today,.
2.) Lewis actually wasn't lying about his tires.
#2 is the big surprise there.
But he was complaining about them 2 laps in...
Also Russell P12
Perez is exactly the team mate Max needed. Can do a different strategy effectively and keep the pressure on Mercedes and even challenge them for poll. Fantastic race. Poor Bottas.
A truly fantastic race! This season may end up being one of the greats.
I can't help but feel like Bottas will be the one to discard Mercedes, not the other way around.
he really needs to. They focus more on Hamilton
Really ? Wow you are super intelligent, how did you notice it ?
@@megadragon886 why even bother commenting
@@Nikhil9852 Just like RB basically makes their strategy focus on Verstappen. Perez's purpose is to help Verstappen win.
@@Cal3000 Verstappen allowed perez to overtake bottas here
Hamilton: "Guys, my tires are gone"
Everybody: "yeah sure, Lewis"
verstappen overtakes
Everybody: *suprised pikachu face*
Mercedes paint themselves as a team were everyone gets along easy to be happy when u have no competition. Now they are being exposed
Verstappen:who's laughing now? who's laughing now?
Hamilton:aaaaaaaaargh!!!
@my name is visible to all users on UA-cam No need to argue with them.
You know when Lewis criticized the team for their strategy everyone hated him now people do the same and call Lewis an hypocrite, that’s a shame
Maybe if Lewis wasn’t saying that since lap one, they would believe him xD
