    You rate Peak Daniel higher than Peak Yuki. But the things is, Daniel has peaked and is now on a slow decline. Yuki meanwhile hasn't even reach the threshold of his peak and is showing signs of improving over the years. Yes, what happened in Bahrain was a bit immature, but you can say that to Seb as well in Baku after deliberately side ramming Lewis, and Seb was a multiple world champion. I just find that people is overly underrating Yuki as an F1 driver because he has less social media presence than his teammates.

      Theres no way in hell it's a "slow" decline whatsoever. But yea his peak was maybe 10 years ago and just like that it's gone. It happens all the time in all pro sports, the "failed wonderkid" archetype: early peak at very high level, then it just goes away for no reason. In f1 you can mask it behind "Bad car" excuses in order to milk the cash cow a little bit more but thats only works for a limited time.

The only driver I would be alright with Red Bull possibly replacing Checko with is Sainz because I truly think he's probably the 2nd or 3rd best driver at this point certainly better than an aging Lewis Hamilton and would make Red Bull even more dominant than it alrighty is which is a scary thought

    For me, the biggest problem is that when you compare the races that both Yuki and DR raced in (since 2023), Yuki has had 5 point finishes (Belgium, US, Brazil, Abu Dhabi, Australia), vs. Daniel's one (Mexico). Yes Daniel has had his fair share of bad luck, but you could say the same for Yuki (starting back of the grid due to PU change, terrible strategy in Bahrain and illegal overtake by Magnussen in Saudi). Yuki has been much more consistent in making himself relevant in the races.

      @SXNDITKEV Місяць тому +11

      you mention daniels bad luck in sort of a passing way, but he's been absolutely crippled by it in his races so far, its almost ridiculous how little has been said of it. He's had 2-3 races that have been uncompromised in his last season...and in one of those, he went nuts.
      1. In hungary he was absolutely punted from behind by zhou, went to last and came back to finish in p13 after an amazing long stint on softs.
      2. Spa, daniel and yuki had identical results that were mirrored in the sprint and the races, daniel had another unlucky track limits for race quali. I mean it was so identical they even benefitted from the same amount of dnf's in their races.
      3. Zandvoort - obviously he broke his hand
      4. Austin, running yuki's setup and had a MASSIVE piece of debris in his front left corner which killed his race, before that debris he actually caught up to yuki in the first stint. Yuki's points finish here was really a result of DSQ's farther up and not on track stuff.
      5. Mexico, finally, an uncompromised weekend, and he did bit's qualifying p4 without a tow, p7 in the race and was fighting a merc on the last lap
      6. Brazil - hit by a flying tyre lap one, placed a lap down by the stewards and was lapping third fastest overall behind the lead pack on race pace, would've beat yuki if not classified a lap down
      7. Vegas - uncompromised weekend, car was slow here because of the same reasons it was fast in mexico he drove an okay race, yuki dnf'd
      8. Abu Dhabi - tear off in brake duct, had to pit on lap 6? or something absurd like that, put him out of sync but he did well to recover to the edges of the points
      so sure, you can say daniel had his 'fair share of bad luck' but to think you could say the absolute same for yuki is a bit absurd. Yuki has had two significant point finishes that have become huge talking points that are more a result of dnf's and dsq's than they are a result of on track moves and positions...so for people to be able to make a comprehensive decision on daniel this early into the season, given his absolutely horrendous luck so far i think is a little absurd. Theres no denying yuki has been just that little faster this year so far, but to brush daniels 'bad luck' as something that isnt a significant dampener on some performances that he had that would have changed the perception of his head to head is a little unfair in my opinion.

    • @tak8261
      @tak8261 Місяць тому +9

      @@SXNDITKEV Sorry but you are wrong. So, if you want to go race by race, and focus on whether Daniel had a chance to score points or not:
      Hungary - Stroll (who finished P10) had MUCH better pace than Danny so it was unlikely he would have scored points.
      Spa - Track limits = drivers fault. It has nothing to do with "luck".
      Zandvoort - I did not count that race, I only compared races where both Yuki and Daniel raced in.
      Austin - Given where Yuki finished, he could have scored points if not for the debris.
      Brazil - Yes he could have scored if it weren't for the tyre.
      Vegas - Car had absolutely no pace.
      Abu Dhabi - Daniel started P15, was unlikely he would have scored in the points.
      So essentially there were two potential race, Austin and Brazil, where Daniel could have realistically scored points.
      But then if you do the same exercise for Yuki, you can argue that he could have definitely scored points in Mexico if it weren't for the PU penalty, really bad strategy in Bahrain, and Magnussen's illegal overtake in Saudi so maybe he could have scored a point in either of the races. So that's potentially 2-3 race.
      This is why I say, when you just focus on whether the two drivers could have scored points, Yuki and Daniel are actual on par when it comes to "unluckiness". Either way, its a lot of ifs and buts, and reality is Yuki has had a clearer upper hand when it come to having point finishes which is their ultimate goal.

      @@TommoOnUA-cam Exactly, and a good reminder of how important qualifying is, especially for those in the back marker teams. In the race, there is much less a driver can do as ultimately cars will regress to where the car's performance is, and whilst drivers may be able to defend against faster cars to a certain extent, overtaking a faster car is near impossible.
      For me it is no surprise that Alex and Yuki were the highest point finishers out of the bottom 4 teams, because of their ability to qualify high and use their position to defend their position to death.

    Yuki is by far one one the most underrated drivers on the grid. He must have a seat for 2025 regardless of being backed by Honda. He is somehow turning out to be a second coming of his former teammate Pierre Gasly who become one of the best midfield drivers out there.
    Outqualifying a multiple race winner is already a feat. Considering how Danny Ric has already been in the grid for quite sometime already. In China, I am already expecting Yuki to be outpaced by Danny due to lack of familiarity on the track. But if Yuki turned the way around, RB might just sacked Ricciardo for Lawson.

    I feel like Tommo is allowing his affinity for Riccardo to cloud his judgement. The data was interesting, and consistently favours Yuki but it felt like he kept making excuses for why Yuki did better. Ignoring the farce of a team order in Bahrain. Yuki has beaten Riccardo consistently since joining the team.
    Riccardo needed this stint with RB to show off that he is still a great driver, and he just isnt doing that. In fact hes looking worse than ever.
    Just because he was one of the best on the grid doesn't mean he is anymore, and it doesnt mean he will be again. His stint at McLaren was dire and he failed to perform in 2 sets of regulations with that team. Now hes occupying a seat in a development team and being convincingly beaten by someone 10 years younger, its time for him to make way for the next generation.

      If it was a different team with different drivers and 80% of the time driver A was ~2 tenths faster in quali AND in race pace. When it comes to getting into a better team its unlikely Driver B would be considered an option. But because its Danny Ric its different?

      @tak8261 Місяць тому +3

      ​@@canton-7174 So the first fact is that Yuki has consistently outpaced Danny by 0.1 - 0.2 seconds give or take. Whether you think thats big or small is up to interpretation though as Tommo acknowledged, this 0.1 - 0.2 seconds gap could be difference between dropping out of Q1 or making it to Q3, so I personally think it is a big deal especially when this gap is so consistent.
      Then there is a different problem of expectations. The narrative was that Danny, an extremely experienced driver who apparently showed great pace in the Silverstone tyre test, was making a return as a potential raplcement for Checo. So, people naturally were expecting Danny to at the very minimum beat Yuki convincingly. Compared to that expectation, Daniel has MASSIVELY underperformed.
      Lastly, there always seems to be some kind of excuse for Daniel's performance, be it "oh he is coming from a break so he needs time" "he just broke his hand so he needs time to fully recover" "he needs time to adjust to the new car" "the car doesn't suit his driving style" "he got unlucky during the races" etc. The excuses go on and on. And whilst there could be some level of truth to some of the statements, at some point you can't continue to just keep on coming up with excuses for him.

    • @antoniusbaswara8477
      @antoniusbaswara8477 Місяць тому +11

      Marko always had a soft spot for young drivers with raw speed. For evidence, remember Max's "crashtappen" era in first half 2018. Max managed to mature up after summer break, being a consistent top 3 in form alongside Hamilton and Raikkonem during that time period, leading to a driver we know today.
      Ricciardo on the other hand is on Horner's side. There was a rumour last year that Horner wanted to get rid Marko, Yuki, and Honda, consolidating the power for himself in wake of Mateschitz's passing and Marko's de Vries failure.
      So, Horner's support for Ricciardo and Marko backing up Yuki in a way is an extension of Horner/Marko power struggle. With Horner still being in Red Bull, they are not looking Yuki in high regard no matter what.

    Consider that ~a tenth is where Logan was compared to Albon in the first couple quali sessions, and people still call him a joke that should lose his seat/justify what Williams did...
    So yeah, maybe the gap isn't that big, but people are incredibly biased in when they think a tenth is a lot or a little...
    The arguments on this note, are also pretty bad in terms of any sort of way that could look "not that bad" on Daniel, but be a death notice on Logan.
    Logan has more potential, requires less pay, has many more years in him, is the younger, less experienced driver, and is brand new to F1 with no sign that he will get slower rather than improve.
    Ricciardo is proven, yes, but there's no reason to assume he will get faster over time, as he's already past his "prime" - and it's been like 5 years since he's had a "Good season" at this point. He's also shown how fast and how hard he can crumble to dust. Seriously, imagine being so bad at something that your employer PAYS YOU ~$14M TO LEAVE???
    "He just needs 10 races/1 season/a couple seasons to get to grips with the car" - Did Gasly get that? Did Albon *really* get that? Did DeVries get that? Hell no. Let's be honest, Nyck was out the second that RB realized Daniel was available. Daniel is being treated like a rookie, that just needs to get up to speed and learn the ropes, or given excuses of cars/regs not fitting him... BUT HE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE. If half the grid could say similar things, but you are still dunking on them, Ricciardo should not be an exception.
    If he takes a couple seasons to get up to speed at RB, then moves to the main team, takes a couple years there... He'd be 38-40 by the time he was in the top seat and "fitting with the team" or car.
    So I think that any good graces given to Danny Ric HAVE TO BE EXTENDED TO OTHER DRIVERS LIKE ZHOU, LOGAN, ETC.
    I get that we all want him to succeed, but other drivers are having similar, or even less struggle, and deemed worse and less worthy of a seat... for the sin of not being a known quantity and media darling.

    You were suggesting leaving some laps of Dan's out where he was 0.5 seconds slower towards the end of his stints because his tyres are done, and so the gap between him and Yuki is more like 0.1 per lap instead of 0.17. However hasn't he gained time in the first part of his stint by using more tyre life than he should? Therefore if you count the first part of the stint where Dan gained benefits, you have to count the later part too, even when his tyres are starting to drop off the cliff, as that is just poor stint management from Dan. All laps in clear air should count basically.

    For some perspective regarding the unchanged driver lineup for 2024 - De Vries, Lawson and Bearman were all super subs who all STILL have more points and higher best finish than Logan... and all don't have a drive nor have had a complete full season with even all of them combined... basically, time for some change in 2025, maybe even mid 2024

      Man, stop this. Logan is a WILLIAMS ACADEMY DRIVER so yeah ofc his owm team gives him 2 seasons! They even said they brought him into F1 a year too early.
      Lawson has been to DTM and Super Formula to prepare for F1…and cos he is part of RED BULL JUNIORS ACADEMY he stays at one of the RB teams.
      Bearman is a crash wonder in F3 and F2. Last season he crashed way too much!! Do you even watch F3 and F2? Even this weekend he made a mess of his F2 Quali and the race…. He is fast or he is camikaze… there’s nothing in between with Bearman in F3 and F2…. Seriously. Bearman needs to grow, clean up his act first.
      De Vries was already 28….. had 3 years of tyre testing and sim work at Mercedes F1 team…and was arrogantly claiming he would be teamleader at AT…and said that he even wouldn’t listen to YUKI cos he was only funny…and he couldn’t learn anything from YUKI…. De Vries crashed way too much and was NOWHERE NEAR THE TEAMLEADER…
      Bearman had the 2nd fastest car to drive in Jeddah.. and you compare that to the Williams????? 😂 You serious?
      Stop comparing rookies from different academies…their OWN TEAMS should give them a seat, like Williams did to Logan. Williams has 2 F2 rookie drivers currently on the grid preparing them for F1.
      De Vries was NO SUER SUB at all, he failed as seasoned driver….

      @@Redlingstein I take on board what you're saying, and rookies do need some time to show what they can do, but its the top 20 seats in motorsport, so to finish with just 1 (retrospective, following DQs) point at the end of a complete season when other drivers have jumped in equally backmarker cars (DV in williams, and Lawson in an AT) and scored in less time. Teams need to score, vowles made that clear when he put alex in the car. $12million extra for each constructors place is no joke
      I maintain that Nyck De Vries made a mistake going to redbull. If he'd have joined williams, as they offered him, to start in 2023, he'd already been a merc jnr under vowles, but he could sit in that car, with that team around him and albon to learn from, knowing he had legit scored points already in their car, for that team. I think that does a lot for confidence. And he would have been given the same patience likely that logan is being shown. sadly the allure of RB must have been too good.

    As a D. Ric fan, your analysis appears to be pretty spot-on.
    Right now, the idea of him being promoted to Red Bull is on hold, and Daniel is now fighting to stay in F1.
    But that could change either way over the next three or four races. People in F1 have relatively short memory, and "current form" only goes back two or three races.
    Well see what happens between here and the summer break...

      Checo should have been miles ahead of everyone else in Australia and bagged P1 without breaking a sweat. He didn't. In fact, he didn't even podium. Daniel's performance in the VCARB-01 is probably irrelevant if Red Bull know he's fast in the RB20, especially if he's faster than Checo (which is likely, especially given the inherent driving styles in question: Daniel's mirrors Max's, Checo's does not). Red Bull need a driver who, in the very least, can win when Max can't. They also need someone marketable, and who Max likes. I doubt they'll risk ruining Liam Lawson by promoting him too quickly (see: Gasly; Albon), and I doubt Yuki's really in contention for the Red Bull seat (he's talented, but he's Honda's pick). Carlos may not be willing to go back to Red Bull, and Alonso might be seen as too head-strong. It's not as simple as many people make out.

  • @theproductwhisper9378
    @theproductwhisper9378 Місяць тому

    Great analysis! One of my pet theories about Daniel is that he relies on a build up over three practice sessions to show speed, more so than other drivers. If that build-up gets interrupted, it ends up in lack of pace in qualifying. And now, we are told he will miss FP1 at Suzuka, so RB can give Iwasa a spin. I can’t see him turning this deficit around at next GP

    Its probably fair to assume that the weight difference between the drivers is playing into some of that 1-2 tenth average gap also. Not sure where the RB is in relation to the weight limit, but every kilo of ballast that's better placed helps car balance and driveability.

    For the race comparison you also need to look at the gap to the driver in front.

I can't be bothered to look myself, just saying next time that info would add context.

    Daniel is trying to prove he still deserves a seat at a top team not just to be in the sport. Everyone has counted Yuki out and questioned whether he even belongs. If Daniel wants to prove anything he should be destroying Yuki on track, both qualifying and races. This battle that Daniel (while close) is losing shows either Yuki is way ahead than we think, or Daniel is way behind where he thinks he is.

    No hate to Danny bc I love his energy but he is treated as a rookie who needs to get used to F1 when in fact he has been there for YEARS. Saying Danny is ‘only’ 2 tenths behind Yuki is insane. If it’s only 2 tenths, why can he not close that gap? Only 2 tenths goes both ways, Yuki is only a little bit slower than Danny so he is not that much better, but Danny is also not better than Yuki bc he seems to not be able to catch up to him while the gap is only so small. It doesn’t make any sense as to why he’s coddled so much for simply not performing. I think Danny unfortunately made some silly career choices. He’s just not as adaptable as Alonso is. Danny should know that about himself, but he still jumped teams like he is a deer in a spring field. Even the comparison with Danny joining McLaren and Lando being there his whole F1 career is bullshit since Oscar came in and immediately delivered and seems so at home and in tune with his car. Ricciardo is such a highly valued driver but he shows none of his qualities. Especially considering Yuki is not valued much at all, so comparing Danny to him and saying he’s ‘only’ a little bit slower is putting Yuki on a pedestal that he does not have.

    I am kind of sceptical if you should even compare the gaps between them because at the end of the day at RedBull they only look at the Results at the end. It doesn't matter if you qualify P20 everytime if you can always get it into top 10. The Race is where you score points not the qualifying.
