Emotional growth is realising the Vettel era was the most competitive period in recent memory.
Nah, the 2017-2020 Merc era was. There was a two-team battle with wins from three different teams.
I hate how true this is... 😭
2010 and 2012 were incredible seasons to watch. I am lucky I have seen them live because man they were amazing.. tho Abu Dhabi as the last race in 2010 was a stinker. But 2012 Brazil Made up for that.
Well... 2 of the 4 Vettel years. 2011 was comfortable for Seb and 2013, they demolished the field
@gameofender4463 2010 had drivers from 3 teams competing for the title in the last race though. And 2012 had 7 different winners in the first 7 races, so I would be more inclined to agree with the original comment.
When you watch Formula1, you watch it for everything, not just the race winner.
Team development, team decline, up and coming rookies, old vets, new technology, one off stand in drives, race craft, mid field fights, drivers trying to keep their seats, team principle eras etc etc
It goes on and on.
This season:
- the decline of the once mighty Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes
- Perez trying to keep his seat
- Alpine falling apart
- Williams trying to rebuild as a team
- Sainz not giving a shit and kicking ass to get a race seat
Sounds like a genuinely unhealthy way to cope.
Like it or not, racing has always been about who finished first and who're not. If they keep on making bad choices with regulations and many more, then there's no doubt F1 wouldn't be around motorsport world as prominently as they used to.
@@strayednine8859 ya real unhealthy…….i guess back in 2015 when Mercedes was dominating I should have just quit watching .That way I would have missed witness Max Verstappen enter F1 and rise thru the ranks
Hm, but the things you are mentioning like: team development, team decline, up and coming rookies, old vets, new technology, one off stand in drives, race craft, mid field fights, drivers trying to keep their seats, team principle eras, you have all those things in basically any form of motorsport... Only difference being that the racing itself is actually far more interesting than what you get to see in F1. GT3, WEC, Super GT, WRC, etc. have had far more interesting (and closer) races in the last couple of years.
Honestly, since Liberty Media took over, F1 has become a sport that's more about the politics next to the track than the actual racing on the track.
well not really, no 1 cares about a podium tbf, people want to see race wins fights and championship fights, audiences showing it, its dropping massively
Not F1, because the teams are too far apart to be competitive, so F1 is like F1 and f 1.5 on the grid, there's 3/4 races on at the same time.@@strayednine8859
The hypocrisy from F1 media who never groaned and questioned Hamiltons dominance but now always are on Verstappens case is evident, we just want consistency.
cuz hamilton is cooler and more likable, max gives off nerd vibes
@@BasedStarClips Woke people are never cool. His job is to race not preach politics. You don't hear Max talk about lgbtqia+xyz & blm shit.
@@BasedStarClipsHam is really not all that likable. He would be if he weren't such a PR machine and gives canned responses to everything. Just too bland. At least Russell reminds us all how much worse it could be.
Totally agree. Let's not forget the F1 media is dominated by Lewis' countrymen. A few of them are truly sport lovers. A very few.
@@marcvdm1111 completely true, its just british bias.
The worst bit is not the actual domination. Its the fact we dont see the exciting part of max that can help us appreciate his talent in an entertaining way: we never see him racing anyone when hes 20 seconds down the road
Also the fact that he’s always emotionless when he wins instead of when Vettel, Hamilton, Schumacher etc would celebrate every win like their first
@@DaVinci-vj7ku Well Hamilton in a dominant year wasnt exicted after every win which is just normal. When Max has to fight others a wins he is always really exiceted about the win like Las Vegas 2023
@@DaVinci-vj7ku are you watching the sport for its racing or the spectacle? max is so passionate about racing and winning, he doesn't need to get on the car and dance to show that.
Miami 2023? How many overtakes does Max need to make in order to win before you are satisfied?
Unless he has an engine change that results in a grid penalty, or he just has a bizarre qualifying
Max is damn fast, but it is his consistency and teams consistency, that makes it insane
Yeah. Also just the reliability of all the cars means that we barely ever see a shock result. ( i know some of these races werent reliability related but yk) Hungary 2021, Monza 2020, Sakhir 2020. If f1 had more of these suprise races it would be better to watch in my opinion
It's funny how you consistently misspelt 'consistent'.
Especially considering how he was when he started
@@F1dude. Well that is a part of it, Hamilton and Rosberg and Charles have had off weekends where they just didn't perform to their normal standard, Max doesn't really have those, i can only name Miami where he pushed a bit too much and Singapore, yes the car wasn't great but also not his best performance, but that is it
@@ThroughJermainesLensbut even if he has a Weekend off, he is still better than most of the other Drivers. Since 2020 he is by far the most consistent Driver on the field.
This Guy seems to drink Gasoline for breakfast.
In 2017 I think Mercedes didn't want a driver like Verstappen because they'd just gone through three years of their drivers at each others throats and Bottas was signed to be more "compliant".
Bottas should’ve stayed at Williams ngl
"large portion of fans are unhappy with domination" - I would say mostly British fans. It was too much for me when you showed article from the Guardian. True fans of the sport can recognize greatness and enjoy watching it anytime.
I'm a max fan and I would still be much happier if he had to actually fight for the win occasionally
You can respect greatness and find it utterly boring to watch at the same time.
@@torak_34 thank you. People act as if being bored by domination me disrespecting the dominant driver/team
What I personally got out of Australia where MAX DNF'ed is that Max is merely a symptom and not the actual problem.
After a handful of interesting laps, what we got was largely the same as any Max-dominated race, with Sainz up front instead.
I am not smart enough to figure it out but there must be a problem with the cars and the regulations that leads to pretty boring racing nowadays.
If the drivers can't constantly get within DRS, nothing happens and they just drive around the track with largely unchanging gaps for 50 laps.
I didn't watch the race live but when I saw the race results I was super stoked to watch the replay because maybe we'd finally get a battle. Then I watched the race and the battle for P1 was over the moment Sainz passed Verstappen and even the battle for P2 was so insignificant I can't even remember how Leclerc passed Norris
The teams are all ensuring their setups create as much dirty air as possible.
Also reliability is very good and the tyres are too hard and many races can be managed with one stop. Saudi is an example. The whole race could be run on the hard tire.
Exactly! Once Sainz was clear off everyone else, there wasn't a whole lot happening. But I'm not sure if we can deny Sainz's genius that race and simply point to a problem about dirty air or whatnot.
There's something wrong with these regulations and it's harder to diagnose because these rules were intended to "improve racing" and make it "more competitive". The gap closed up and cars are more restricted than they have ever been. But ironically that means no team can suddenly show up one weekend with an ace card in performance for that track and just upstage the front-runners. The cost cap also bakes in advantages. Even if we have dominance, we need some assurance that it isn't so predictable and that the underdogs could actually pull something out for one or two races each year.
Not enough people are saying this. They're lost in the sauce of a Ferrari 1-2 without realizing the race was as dull and lacking in overtakes as any other.
F1 is fundamentally a sport of domination
dominated by safety cars, yeah
kinky
Welcome to the most prestigious Motorsport in the world.
@Japs_Eye_Of_The_Tiger Eh, it's like that in American Motorsport as well. Like any caution on an oval, always brings out the safety car.
@@Japs_Eye_Of_The_Tiger I hope you're not referring to Abu Dhabi 2021 still...
I remember when Seb was dominating the sport, Lewis said it is bad for the sport and then went to make the sport boring for 7 years.
Max came like a saviour but is currently the new Hamilton.
It’s just that the regulations never end up making an equal playing field.
0:38 No, Einstein never said that. Its one of the most misattributed quotes of all time. It comes from a book written in 1983, long after Einstein died.
Lol, Revell's videos always curses drivers in the video with vodoo magic so that the opposite thing happens. He recorded this and while he was editing, Max DNF'd in Australia. He posted the Kimi video and the kid qualified P18 then crashed in Australia, he made a video of De Vries belonging in F1 and dude got ejected into the sun before half a season lmao. We just need Revell to make a Max video every race weekend to prevent RB and Max from securing the championship ;)
Bro is the ultimate jinxer
Don't forget the Jüri Vips situation as well
>Revell hypes him up
>Vips just pisses his carreer away
Also last year his perdition for the championship was Charles and what happened for that year and the year before that when he was also predicted to be the champion
Pain
A lot of pain
Dose Revell has a super power
Where when he makes a video about them
The person gets cursed for the season?
His video on Liam Lawson is still biblically accurate given his performance when he subbed in for Ricciardo.
Whether or not Revell jinxed his career regarding him still being a reserve driver is up to interpretation(XD), although its really only a matter of time before Lawson gets his chance to be in a winning car.
Max is done for
We’re currently in the Verstappen era it is what it is 🤷🏽♂️
Hacing lived through the Schumacher era - this is exactly like that, except then we didn't see the battles in midfield and only the first 6, later 8 got points.
Hey, good to see you here!!! Your recent NASCAR Mexico video was amazing, I only heard about him once along time ago and I totally forgot about him until your recent video.
this. There will always be (Drivers name here) eras
True. I rememner people hating Vettel and Schumi and Senna cause they were winning that much. Its a cycle
wikipedia
You are very young to remember Michael Schumacher’s dominance. The sport is like this, and always will be. But Verstappen’s dominance is different. In Schumacher era, we had the different brand tires. In Vettel’s era, we han Ferrar. In Lewis Hamilton’s era, we had Nico. But in Verstappen era, there’s nothing that can bring uncertainty. Only hope to reach fast 2025 new regulations, as Alonso did in Renault vs. Schumacher, or Verstappen in RB vs. Lewis.
Why does everybody forget the 7 years that Mercedes won every week and now they cry
I think watching 7 years of that and then just having it switch to Red Bull is the issue. It’s the same thing, over and over and over again, for like 10 years now.
At least Red Bull and Ferrari were right up there in a similar tier snatching wins every few weeks, and at the very least there was always a decent chance one of the others can win that day. Now though, it's straight up Red Bull > everyone else.
They never won this hard though. If you actually look at those seasons, Hamilton finished first in the standings but not in every race. And several of those seasons were at least as contested as the first half of 2022.
Merc fans cry the loudest. Thats why😂
I still think you’re missing the message. One team dominance is not good for F1 fan base. It is only good for super fans. F1 needs more fans. The more one team wins over and over and over, the less new fans you receive. Or you just get the bandwagons. How many wins out of the past 3 years have been from anybody outside of a Red Bull car.
Real race fans acknowledge Max’s ability and skill but still have the right to the opinion that it is fucking BORING to watch him/ anybody else in the same position do what he’s doing.
We can all agree that we want wheel to wheel, aggressive/defensive, competitive driving throughout the pinnacle of motorsports. Not 1 team fuck off into the horizon over and over again.
Look as much as a Hamilton fan I am and as much as this Verstappen domination is too much, people can't blame him. Blame the other teams and engineers for not coming up with a machine that can put an end to that dominance.
the cost cap is the issue
blaming teams is'nt going to do anything, you just need to increase the allowed wind tunnel time and money for the lower teams
@gabrielariano8770 well yeah but it made the sport profitable main issue is engine freeze combo with the cost cap
You do realize all the most competitive seasons in F1 were caused by changing regulations to nullify the dominance of top teams right? Yeah we can blame other teams, but without the FIA intervening, we can cry about lack of competition for the rest of eternity. It’s especially bad when the 2022 regulations are SPECIFICALLY designed to stop such dominations and to bring even the smaller teams into play. The FIA failed us.
@@sandalphoncpu I'll give you that, FIA introducing the ground effect regulations to promote more close racing has been an absolute failure.
Nobody:
Max Verstappen: Tries to do a 1988 McLaren every year since 2022
This is how bad things are getting. When a single driver can do the same as an entire team where not only the team had a dominant car but the drivers were 2 of the best drivers to ever do it.
Just... Wow.
@DimitriMoreira no, if either Senna or Post had bad teammates in 88 with McLaren, they would be able to replicate this domination we're seeing
Cope @@GameOver-nm2us
Ferrari: arrivederci
Even failing to win a race each year.
Hot take: the rest of the race beyond Verstappen has been great for the past two years and a lot of people aren't appreciating that enough.
I don’t agree. I think it only SEEMS this way due to the appalling lack of lead changes that occur. You can look up the stats on overtaking in F1 vs other premier racing leagues. Its not weird to see 10-15 lead changes at some Indy Car races. Often there are multiple overtakes happening at different corners at the exact same time. The commentators get out of breath.
I don’t think anyone wants F1 to become IndyCar, but there may be some things to learn from the way they do things.
F1 knows what they need to do. They won’t do it though.
@@Deeplycloseted435 Stats compared to Indycar is not fair, since they have a very different philosophy as a racing league. Constructor Series vs Spec Series. In a spec series, competition will always be closer. However, if you look at previous years of F1, 2023 was quite an interesting year. Qualifying was one of the closest we had ever seen, with almost half the grid sometimes separated by half a second, and a lot of fluctuation in the midfield. If we had a more inconsistent driver in that RB (like Vettel 2012), we could have had some really varied wins throughout the year
@@martimxavier9690 Exactly, Vettel was incredible fast but also terribly inconsistent that season.
Had Verstappen committed Leclerc, it would have had happened in 2022.
I have an enormous amount of respect for Max himself. The real problem with F1 as a racing series is the presence of so many low tier teams. Attempts at leveling the field with budget caps have been completely ridiculous. There has to be another way to make midfield teams more competitive, like Williams or Benetton were back in the day. I'm absolutely sure drivers like Leclerc could challenge Max if there was more competition overall.
I really don't think that LeClerc would be able to hold a championship run together for a full season.
@@oonmm It was an example. I could also have said Sainz or Piastri. They would at least make it slightly more interesting than it is right now.
Budget cap helps these low tier teams to be ablle to compete on midfield and even top spot.
The problem is that the gap is just so bad in the past that it needs time to equalize the playing field (like HAAS running on a tight budget all the time and Williams who are still working with 90's and early 00's technology in 2024). Although it has become equal now with smaller gap from best (or shall I say second best) to the worst (or shall I say second worst, since the current worst team is getting so bad at the moment)
There has always been dominance. Schumi. Hamilton. Its not verstappens fault that the cars are shite . Its almost impossible to overtake in over half the corners of every track
I hate how much slower these ridiculously large cars look on camera.
That or other top teams always shot themselves in their foot, Toto couldn't keep his mouth shut and fix that damn Merc, and Ferrari always being Ferrari.
@@crazydrummer181 That's because of the camerawork, not the cars. Just go see an F1 race live at least once and you'll actually get a feel for how fast these cars are despite their comparative largeness to previous cars
@@Pandabrah_D they’re still very big cars. I’d love to but it’s not that easy to go see an F1 race for everyone.
@@crazydrummer181 it’s not easy but it’s doable and very much worth it to see at least once imo. Took me months of saving to see my first race live and it gave me a whole new appreciation for the sport
2 important things.
1 the grid is already very close. Closer than many seasons. Only the overtaking is bad.
2 Most of the people who find the races boring with max only watch for the winner. If you look further in the field there is a lot of entertainment going on there. (caviat sadly not every race)
In the end, a fight for the championship with at least two drivers (preferably from different teams, but team mate battles have their own taste) is what everyone following the sport really wants. Nobody ever remembers who came in 7th at the 1985 Italian Grand Prix, or who was 3rd in the Championship in 1998, do they?
I agree with both points. Just to add to point 1, some tracks are terrible for modern F1 cars because of their size/weight.
I wish more people understood that the midfield is where many interesting storylines happen, where the underdogs battle. It may not be for the win, but watching some of these teams score a point or a top 5 finish on merit is as special as a win.
Idk about the whole midfield action thing, I consider myself a hardcore racing fan and been watching for 20 years but battling for P12 just doesn't hit the same for me. The stakes aren't as high.
Even the midfield battles haven't been that great this year, idk if it's because of dirty air becoming a factor again or because of the huge gap between the top 5 and the bottom 5 teams

As a Max fan, I am actually glad he is dominating other wise doubts would never go away as if deserved 2021 title or not. It will end like all the others ended, it comes to other teams like Ferrarri and Mercedes to up their game not for Redbull to downgrade theirs.
He was gifted his first championship through manipulation. His skill and Red bull engineering coupled with the faults of other teams has him winning currently
There are no doubts whatsoever in the minds of all real F1 fans. He did not deserve nor did he earn the 2021 title.
@@prostreetbeetdhd4586keep taking your cope pills 💊
Neither did Lewis frankly, both of their antics that season were abysmal.@@Lord_Lambert
@@Nemo-Ingen the fuck did Lewis do? Absolutely insane that you try to create a false equivalence between a guy who resorted to brake checking and a guy who did..... nothing wrong.
During the Vettel domination, 2012 went down to the wire and had 7 different winners from the first 7 races. Hasn't been a better season since.
yea exactly, back then reliability and also the fact that Pirelli was a new tire supplier meant that finding the peak performance was very tricky and unpredictable. I feel like Red Bull back then were consistently finding 99.7% of the peak performance almost everywhere, but all of a sudden, Williams would randomly find that narrow, unknown spike up to 100 and win the Spanish GP.
We need tires that have a wide operating window (in terms of conditions) where you can have 99.8% of peak grip, but then the spike up to 100 should just be random for each tire. That spike should also change at every race. That's how people suddenly see like a Haas on the podium once and we still appreciate Verstappen getting podiums regularly.
@@corpsecoder_nw6746 Randomness in Tires would be a huge Safety Concern
Sandwiched between 2011 and 2013 which were runaway dominant seasons.
That red bull in 2013 was not as good as people think. For half the season, it was slightly better. Webber never managed to finish second place in the championship. And webber was a damn good driver.
Going from 2021, which was insane, to having a bit of hope at the start of 2022, to then the most dominant 2 years in F1 history is quite a big jump that makes it feel even worse
it all depends on when you started watching it. The years before where no different.
Yes and most fans whining about this showed up around 2021
the false hope of a better era is what makes it particularly bad for me. we sat through the hybrid era seemingly neverending mercedes snoozefest for almost a decade.
finally promised new cars, better racing. more equal, cost caps, etc. starts off well only to completely die again and even more dominantly than the said mercedes snoozefest ever was. it gives a really hopeless feeling, like the sport cant ever get better.
...and people used to moan the same during the vettel years, sheesh
@@test-tl8dt Remember how hard Liberty Media kept hyping up the new regulations of 2022 (that were initially supposed to start in 2021 but were delayed due to a bit of coughing)? I think a lot of people got way too caught up in the hype and got disappointed when the following seasons failed to meet their lofty expectations. The racing did get closer but the domination ironically got worse.
@@CyanRooperYou really had to squeeze the bit about 2020 in there eh?
It says a lot that in the first race of this season George Russel said "The rest of us are racing for second to Max" tells you all that needs to be said
Where were all these content creators when Lewis Hamilton was winning race after race? When Mercedes dominated for 8 years in a row?
Me patiently waiting for Oscar piastri’s domination
Now we are talking.
Take my damn money
You are not patient man 👌
With McLaren still, hopefully.
He and Lando are both amazingly talented, but doesn't have Max's magic. Though we cannot expect domination, it may happen.
i think the "problem" comes from that 20-21 season. It was so good watching lewis vs max that now everything else feels like nothing
Competetive Seasons since 2000: 00, 07, 08, 12, 21. (i dont count 16 because it was a Mercedes Shitshow anyway, all the other mentioned Years there was a battle for the Title between at least 2 Drivers from different Teams.)
Formula One is a British sport, run by Britons and covered by Britons 🏎️🇬🇧 Formula One logically has a thick British bias. This thick British bias even got thicker when Lewis Hamilton entered. The double standards of British and BLM talking heads on Max’s domination compared to Merc’s domination keep surprising me.
Honestly it's only been 2 years so far (I don't count 2021 as a "domination year" since that was literally a fight till the very end) so whenever I'm getting slightly bored I think back to the Hamilton era that lasted way longer (with a short break in the form of 2016) and then suddenly what we have right now ain't looking so bad anymore since at least it's someone else than Ham and Merc.
Granted unless 26 shakes some things up it's gonna get a bit stale to say the least, but during the Merc era I've learned to focus on and appreciate the mid and even back field way more and those are still very much entertaining to watch (when the TV directors remember that they exists).
Max dominance is no different to Schumi making the entire grid look like clowns, Vettel winning by half a minute or Hamilton taking the piss out of the hybrid era. It's just the influx of DtS idiots who started watching in 2021 and think every season is like that when it very much isn't.
To a certain point, yes but none of them won like 80 to 90% of the races in one year. And that is the problem for most people. And to be honest, you should not be mad at viewers getting bored - you are also not mad at customers when they complain about bad service or a bad product.
While, yes, dominant phases have always been part of the sport, we have never seen something quite like this. 2014-2016 at least had Hamilton and Rosberg fighting amongst each other, 2017-2019 had Ferrari competing occasionally, the MP4/4 had the greatest rivalry of all time. The only thing that would come close is probably 2002 and 2004.
I mean, you compare it to the Vettel era - That had 2010 and 2012, the most competitive seasons in recent history, with multiple drivers having a legitimate claim to the title.
Except it's not just DtS fans, it's Media pundits aswell...
@@xiNchainsxit certainly is about a bad product. With no customers buying the product (no fans watching races) then those constructors have no money coming in to build the best car for the best driver...
None of these points change the fact that the racing is boring 90% of the time.
I think one reason a lot of people don’t like this era of domination from Max is the fact there is literally no competition what so ever from the rest of the field. In the ‘Hamilton Era’, at least there was some what of competition with the likes of Rosberg, Vettel and of course Verstappen himself, compared to the last couple years where Max has been winning 15 or 20 seconds ahead of everyone, even his own teammate.
hamilton never reached quite a schumacher level of dominance. even though he won most of the titles, and we knew he probably would, there was always contenders for a win. ferrari and red bull both a dozen races during the merc years. usually there was even a title contender up until at least halfway the season.
the merc years were sort of like max verstappen 2022 over and over, dominant but there was something. a spark of competition here and there. whereas max verstappen 2023 was just schumi 2002/2004 but somehow objectively even more dominant. absolutely no question about who is winning just about every single race. its another level. he reached the schumacher level and beyond. great praise, but also another level of boring.
@@test-tl8dt it seems like alot of people don’t consider teammate rivalries a competitive championship. the silver war was epic, and the perception that lewis dominated those years like max is now isn’t fair to lewis or nico, that fight cemented their legacies for the better.
Not to forget that for 2018 in particular Seb was leading the championship for most of the season
yea Hamilton never had a win streak. Also the battle with Rosberg was so intense in 2016 and even 2014. Vettel drove flawlessly in 2017 with a slower car until the pressure got to him in Singapore and then Ferrari started being Italian. 2018 started well too but after Brazil of that year I couldn't be bothered to watch many races. 2019 I only tuned in if Vettel got pole or was close. 2020 I watched because the sport was barely happening and the chaos made for a great season behind Lewis.
@@5593doug didn't Vettel lead the championship for more of the season in 2017 than he did in 2018?
The thing is, I think the casual fans are actually the ones who like domination. A lot of them are the ones who latch onto whoever is the most dominant driver, and follow them until someone replaces them. You know the ones that were Schumacher fans, became Alonso fans, then Vettel fans, Hamilton fans and are now Verstappen fans.
Mate of mine used to call it Manchester United syndrome, because you had that section of football fans who always fans of whatever footy team was dominant at the time (and at that point in time it was Man U).
I have worked in F1 retail on and off over the last 25 years or so, and have seen various trends. I was there during the Schuey/Ferrari dominance, and towards the end of it even die hard Schuey and Ferrari fans were getting bored, and sale started drying up on their merch.
Right now, despite the Max dominance, there is a much wider spread of "loyal" fanbases, and it amazes you how much support some drivers have.
Lando, Lewis, Charles, Fernando and Max are easily the ones with the biggest followings, but Carlos has seen a massive upswing since last year, and that only increased when Ferrari announced he was out of a drive next year. Albon is also a decent seller.
I would actually go as far to say that since the start of this century, these last few seasons have had the biggest spread of fanbases rather than only one or two drivers dominating merch sales.
I don't think for a second dominance is driving fans away, I just think it gives people something to moan about on social media.
Wish Vettel was given as much respect and benefit of doubt as Verstappen. But back then the narrative was just “he has the best car.”
That is exactly what I am saying right now. Verstappen has shown what he is like when he has an equal car to his competition; he resorts to cheating, brake testing, and ramming his competitors off track. He has proven he is not this racing god that the current agenda wants to paint him as.
@vatsaldvora I'd argue that while Vettel was very good, and did have a very impressive 2013, he could also be quite inconsistent which is why 2012 was so close. Max just seems like he makes no mistakes and feels no pressure. Vettel never won a race from further back than 3rd, while Max is starting in the midfield and we still think he'll win no matter what.
@@Lord_Lambert Then I guess we can also remove Senna or Schumi from the status of racing god, as they also were hyper aggressive on the track
@@Lord_Lambert Oh give it a break, Ham fanboy. Seriously, I can exactly tell from your comment that you're an LH stan. It's hilarious how 100% the same you all are.

I think one of the main things which are impacting closer racing is regular regulation changes in F1. By the time a team catches the front team F1 changes its regulations it happened in 2021 and can see it happening again in 2025
Didn't help that they then tweaked the rules slightly after 2022, meaning the cars aren't racing as closely again as they were during that season.
My two very unimportant cents:
I think the utter atrocious atmosphere around F1 at the moment. is not solely due to Max's domination. Don't get me wrong, a massive factor, but not the only one.
Whilst the cars have gotten closer, they are often stuck in DRS trains so often that it doesn't make a difference, coupled with the cars just genuinely looking lethargic and slow, makes "the spectacle" nowhere near as entertaining.
My next point is also probably a hot take, but I believe the cost cap has actually done more to hurt the sport than help it. Drivers are more worried to go for overtakes, because in the event of a crash, that's a part of the budget gone, again making the racing worse. Not to mention, it means that teams who have a lot of money (Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, maybe Aston Martin) can't actually spend the required money to catch up to Red Bull throughout the season. This results in domination. Like Josh said, domination isn't uncommon in F1. But of THIS scale, is incredible. Max isn't even being challenged by his teammate.
This all coalesces into a 2023 season that had a handful of good races in a TWENTY-TWO race season. And, Australia excluded, looks like 2024 is going to be a repeat of that.
Not to mention the off-track ugliness.
Dear F1 fans,
I would like to extend a formal invitation to join the NASCAR fandom until your sport figures out how to improve competition. We have drinks, snacks, a new car with the ability to pass other cars regularly, bumper to bumper racing where almost any driver could win any race, super speedways, 1.5 mile tracks, short tracks, weird looking tracks, road courses, a street course, pit stops, fun drivers, angry drivers, annoying drivers, everyone is allowed to just say anything they want over the radio, collectables , we even have our own bumper (truck) car division! The only downsides are that the races are sometimes too long, the broadcasts vary wildly in quality week to week, there’s commercials and you know…racist fans. So crack a beer and join us for awhile Friday to Sunday from February to November for some racing
Boogity boogity boogity!
I started watching nascar onboards and highlights and man the races are so fun especially the last laps where everyone starts to push like crazy. The people who shit on nascar clearly never watched a race ever
People were definitely saying this when it was Lewis and Merc winning damn near every week.
Then F1 changed the regs, claiming they would allow for closer racing, but instead it only resulted in one team creating a decent car and then the rest struggling to cope with the changes.
FIA have proven they either have no idea how to fix the problem or have no real desire to.
Desire. They're still massive boats and the tyres are wider than your house.
This is nonsense. The cars do follow easier AND the field is closer together on one-lap pace than before. It's not the FIA's fault that RB were the only ones to truly master the new rules. MB especially were pigheaded in sticking to their concept for over 2 seasons. You want the FIA to reward that incompetence? "Sorry we messed up, can you change the rules to help us now?"
@@MarcelVolkerthat never stopped MB before. I've lost count of the technical directives MB either petitioned to get changed or implemented to curtail anyone getting remotely close to their pace in the hybrid era.
The regs in 2022 actually brought Ferrari and RB very close together. Then Merc decided to complain about porpoising to the FIA instead of fixing their car, after which FIA issued a rule change which suited RB better than Ferrari, and it was after this we got the current problems
We complain about Max's domination, we complain about the sprint race, we complain about Pirelli, we complain about the Strolls... We complain about everything, and yet we tuned it to watch F1 every time it's on. So maybe Max or any of those other things are not the problem. Maybe something else is the problem.
People like to Gripe, it's human nature. Think it's all just become a lot more bitter after the coof came about.
There is no evidence at all of Einstein saying that and it's actually the definition of PRACTICE.
The thing is that Hamilton was a dominate driver, because he had an amazing car, and Verstappen also has a dominate car, but is a crazy good driver.
F1 peaked from 2005-2012 5 champions, 5 teams.
Verstappen's dominance brings more screen time to the teams at the back. More screen time = more sponsors = more money towards car development. And now with the cost cap limiting rich teams it'll make Alpine/Haas/Williams/McLaren even more competitive in 2026 (+we'll have Audi and their VW money).
Kinda sad scenario for the most prestigious Motorsport in the world lol
Hahaha what? It brings jack shit lots of people stopped watching F1 altogether, how does that increase ad revenue ?
if you don't enjoy watching max win, you don't understand the talent he has. The only reason he's so fast apart from being a natural is the fact the fastest car you can build can only be driven by someone with his talent. his car to drive is like playing call of duty on maximum sensitivity and some..it's just too unstable for most drivers. That's the beauty of watching Max dominate, you're watching perfection and that doesn't come around often. If you really understand the sport, you understand when Hamilton was dominating, you were simply watching a good driver and an epic car designed with no budget cap and unlimited spend. With the cap now in place, you see why mercedes tumble down the order because it's about building the best car that can be driven by someone who can handle it.... redbull engineers/design + max = is that perfect combination. Reminds me of the Senna days.
We went from the hamilton era straight into the verstappen era.
What I don't understand is
It was apathy during hamilton
Now it's anger during verstappen?
What's the difference between it all, lmao
8:33 “F1 fans are so fickle”
Indeed Josh
I hate how many of them who act like they know more than those who’ve studied the sport like myself. F1 fans are definitely more fickle
Understatement of the year
I watched last year's Mexico GP qualifying comment section, and everyone was hyping Ricciardo up like the second coming of Christ because he qualified 4th on the grid. Fast forward 5 months later, he's apparently washed up.
Its cycle that happens every 3-6 years, it was boring when Schumacher was winning everything same with Vettel same with Hamilton, now Verstappen, everyone gets bored, the booing starts then the hating/laughing when anything goes wrong for that driver.
True
Noticed you didn't mention the Merc dominating years of the Hybrid era too.
You can’t jeer Hamilton (Quali Austria 2022) or else your entire fanbase gets thrown under the bus and a knee jerk reaction from the FIA and F1 media
The thing is when Michael Schumacher raced and Vettel raced they had goddamm amazing drivers in the grid lock....now....not so much, that is why the older generations of F1 was amazing yes there was a dominant driver in the grid but it was well ironed out with great opponents
@@Anvil35 Yeah because Hamilton’s haters are by and large, nothing but blatant racists. Hatred towards him has gone up tenfold since 2020 and his support of Black Lives Matter. While it’s a known fact that Verstappen is a political conservative and highly disagrees with BLM and other diversity issues…and his fans are the same. Including you by the sounds of it. So yeah when I hear jeering and abuse being thrown towards Lewis, I know exactly what it’s about. And I get the same abuse for being a liberal and a Hamilton supporter.
What did we learn from Australia? If Verstappen doesn't win, it's a boring race. At least the fight for second is usually good.
Australia's always a bit of a boring race, particularly in the boats they drive now.
The difference in the dominance of Max and Lewis is that Lewis had to contend with Nico and then Seb then Max himself for a few years, he was always the favorite but he had a challenge.
Max on the other hand, has non.
The difference is that Max is in a different league than Lewis ever was (probably 0.15 - 0.2 faster), so there is no competition for Max from his teammate, no matter what.
Fun fact, theres actually no evidence supporting that Einstein ever said "insanity is doing something over and over again, expecting a different result." People just assumed he did since everyone attached him to the quote. Weird how everyone believed it too, including myself at one point.
It was Davey Jones from the Monkees that originally said it.
I thought it was Rita Mae Brown who first used it in her book “Sudden Death” (1983). Regardless, Einstein never said this phrase.
The vast majority of pithy quotes attributed to Nobel Prize winners are fake. Unsurprisingly, it turns out that scientific geniuses and witty wordsmiths are usually two different groups of people. There aren't a lot of people in history who were both Will Rogers *and* Max Planck.
Because it makes sense from a scientific standpoint?
The point of science is consistent results with the same starting conditions, so if you keep testing a hypothesis the same way, expecting a different result, you're insane.
@@Gatitasecsii The logic of a quote proves nothing about its provenance. Just because something makes sense doesn't give any indication of who actually said it, and in this case there is exactly zero proof that Einstein said anything even remotely close to this quote- just as Debussy never said "music is the space between the notes", Marilyn Monroe never said "well-behaved women rarely make history", and Machiavelli did not invent "the ends justify the means".
Not a Verstappen fan (Norris all day), but is the media and the larpers acting genuine, since there really wasnt that much of a noticable complaint train when Mercs, more than offten (not just Hamilton) were basically 1 - 2 each race weekend?
There wasn't much of a noticeable complaint train when Merc were dominating?? Are you serious?
@@yt_Ajay_there was definitely a complaint problem BUT they didn't have the hatred problem. That's all it is now is hate
Nope. It is British bias mostly. They will always bitch if a Brit is not winning. I'm not a fan of any driver, just of the sport so I can't be arsed about this, but it is annoying, as someone who lives in the UK, that most people didn't say shit when Lewis was curb stomping everyone since 2014.
There was lots of complain about the Lewis dominance, while the media attention wasn’t as high compared to after the pandemic. Ik lewis fans says “oh but no one complained about the Lewis dominance” No anyone who wasn’t a merc fan or a Lewis fan boi (me including who is a Vettel fan boi) complains about it to as far as calling the fia Mafia for… ye I don’t have to explain much about it.
Media? Maybe. Fans? Were you around during 2020-2021? People *hated* Hamilton, it actually got to the point he was sent racist comments after Silverstone 2021.
Are you new perchance? Only way you'd be this oblivious to the Hamilton hate back then.
When Max hangs up his racing gloves, it will be one of the saddest moments in F1 history like when Michael announced his retirement after Monza 2006.
It's just English speaking media hating. That's all. They think Sir Hamilton is owed another title.
Max’s Domination is a Problem because he is in a Red Bull & also the British Run F1 Media have Hated Max in general since he was 17! They had NO problem of Lewis winning 6 Championships & Mercedes Winning 8 Constructors Championships in a Row…I wonder how much Toto paid for British Media PR over that Time? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
oh be fucking quiet. Muh british biassssss!!!!!! is so overblown its insane. Absolute idiocy.
Maxs biggest problem is his dad. he needs to remember hes not a driver anymore and his opinions are not needed or welcome, his days of relevancy has long passed
I agree that Max's dad is a slimeball who should be banned from f1 paddock. However, I feel the bigger problem is the extremely toxic culture at Red Bull team as well as their fan base.
This same dominance occured in Golf with Tiger Woods and in boxing with Muhamed Ali. Why is the Formula 1 world so upset when it happens in their sport?
Because 1 on 1 sports are fundemantally incomparable to team based competitions.
You can't possibly be so dense as to try and make that a viable argument, can you?
@@meinacco Are you that ignorant to think any world class boxer is not using a team to prepare for a world championship match? This same dominance in the TEAM sport of yacht racing continues, but no one there complains like they do in car racing. Grow up!
@@hifinsword come back when the first year of boxing championships is held in a format where 20 boxers are in a ring every match fighting for points in order of KOs.
Unt il then you should probably shut up before embarressing yourself even more.
The thing with these succesive periods of domination is that it kinda killed the romanticism around formula 1 and drivers, and it makes it clearer than ever that it's the car doing the winning not the driver.
When you have a driver who wins consecutive seasons basically unopposed struggle to make it to Q3 or get podiums the next season while other driver starts dominating after a rule change, you get to see what's the most important factor. And it's even more cruel for fantastic drivers like Norris who may never even win a race (forget even fighting for a championship) if they don't luck into the dominating car of the time.
Drivers are way more attractive and marketable than machinery to the casual fan, so you really need to find a way to give more relevance to them besides a Netflix documentary once a season. In the past reliability would often throw a wrench on things and allow for more winners when the top car had a failure. But after F1 decided to go "green" and only allow 3-4 engines a year reliability skyrocketed and that random factor was also lost, funneling even more wins to the top car.
Sooner or later they will need to add some Balance of Performance system or simplify to cars (since manufacturers would never accept spec cars) to the point even a potato team can be competitive and you can't come up with fancy solutions.
It would kill the engineering spirit of F1 but casuals really don't care about it as I stated earlier and at least the show would be better.
If it's the car why is Checo always getting so dominated by Max?
I feel like the only difference between Max's dominance and Schumacher's is the length of the season. Schumacher ran half, or less than half, of the races Max is currently running in one season, which makes last year that much more impressive.
But we're forgetting how many races Schumacher ran away with to a point of finishing almost a minute or more in front of his teammate in 2nd place.
Max hasn't gotten to that point, yet.
I think it'll be awhile yet before we go into a season finale with 5 drivers mathematically eligible to win the title again, but Melbourne just showed that the unthinkable can still happen.
Does anyone remember when Schumacher won by a minute? Would lap almost the entire field. This is a driver dominating when F1 cars are at the closest in terms of lap times. There isn’t a team that’s 4 seconds a lap off the pace like in the 00’s.
Because the dominance showcased between cars isn't in pace. It's in tire wear. This only serves to make you think the cars are close and competitive. In one lap pace, they are. That really doesn't mean much in a race. That's why despite the cars being so close on pace, one car keeps finishing 20 seconds ahead of the rest. Because it blows every other manufacturer out of the water in terms of saving tire. Next time the podium drivers pull up in the pit lane at the end of a race, look real close at the RBs tires and then look at the Ferrari or McLaren. Its mind blowing.
Fuck the critics, appriciate greatness when you are in presence of it... one day it will be gone.
I am a long time Hamilton fan but I respect the 2021 standings. Who ever believes that Hamilton is 8 times world champion my only argument against them is that if Hamilton was so good it shouldn't have come down to the last race.
There is absolutely no reason for any F1 fan to respect the 2021 standings. What is wrong with you?
I'm not one of the #teamLH maniac who accuses the FIA of racism for every track limit warning that's what is wrong with me.
Nobody knew that lord Latifi will crash on last laps, nobody knew that lapped cars would be allowed to be unlapped, nobody knew Max will pit and Lewis won't and nobody knew safety car would end on last lap. There is no conspiracy and Hamilton is 7 times world champion he may become 8 times champion in 2025 ferrari is looking good hamilton is a class driver, you never know what will happen but what has happened has happened. @@Lord_Lambert
@@Lord_Lambert The reason is Max had more wins and poles in a slower car and worse "luck".
@@Lord_Lambertand fia was against red bull the whole season. Like the abu dhabi race where hamilton cut turn 1 3 times and did not get a penalty. While getting a advantage
As an American who loves all forms of 4 wheeled racing, and also someone who is a Red Bull fan, it is discouraging for most fans to see a driver dominate, whether it be F1 or NASCAR. Fans got tired of Jeff Gordon in 1998 when he won 13 of 32 races that season. Fans also steered away from NASCAR during the mid-2000's up until about 2017 when we started to see ratings level off and increase for multiple reasons, but I'd say the sheer domination by Jimmie Johnson was a driving factor. He may not have won every race, but he won 5 NASCAR Cup Series championships in a row, and 7 all together. It almost felt as if once the season started, Jimmie Johnson was champion. It's discouraging to watch, and I see F1 in the same boat.
However, I've been watching F1 for a while, and I know that Schumacher in a Ferrari was dominating. Hamilton in a Mercedes was dominating. Currently, Max in a Red Bull is dominating. This is common place in F1. Does it bother me? Not really. The best driver with the best car usually wins. It's sad it happens every week, but that's the nature of the beast. I would like to see what Max would do in an IndyCar, albeit a Penske or Ganassi car at a track like COTA or Indianapolis Road Course. Seeing what he could do in a spec series would really show how talented he is. I understand most of IndyCar may not be on the same level, but I'm sure an IndyCar veteran like Will Power or Ryan Briscoe, or even a Pato O'Ward would be interesting to see.
How can anyone in good concience be a fan of that repugnant team?
I think I tuned in around half way through 2021, mostly because a cousin told me there was a fight for the title going on. I then kept watching the moment Magnussen was announced to return, and as a Dane that was simply delightful to watch. Getting to witness his performances return in full force has been great, and while all of us back home hold onto that elusive second podium, we are all essentially cheering on Haas and Kevin especially to prove they can still get off the bottom of the season.
Personally I do not care much for who wins, I'm more invested in watching my representative driver show that he can be "best of the rest". The battle for 6th place in the constructors is what I'm there to watch currently. The top 5 seems pretty cut and dry as it currently stands, and therefore the real race tends to be when one of those drivers from the top teams DNF, because that means points are on the table for anyone.
When Mercedes were dominating with Hamilton, all of the media were praising their work.
But when Red Bull and Max does it, it's all booring and hurts the sport..
The problem here isn't Max. Its Perez.
Even when Lewis was winning, he was being kept honest by his team-mates.
I'd be really interested to see what would happen if they stuck Alonso in that Red Bull as his team-mate next year.
im with this, to even insinuate max is the problem recently is crazy. perez has been far off the pace in recent seasons for the most part compared to max.
Max would have destroyed Bottas he is Perez tier.
even Rosberg gave Hamilton a competition to his titles every year. With Verstappen has no one challenging and its making it boring to watch

Weird how they complain about Verstappen dominating but everyone was quiet with Hamilton... Verstappen really isn't the media darling Hamilton was
Verstappen reminds me of Djokovic. Everyone loves the previous dominating champions but once he appears it's suddenly "problematic" and "bad for the sport".
F1, Skysports and the press needs to understand that the sport does not evolve around the UK and they need to stop being so biased towards British drivers especially Hamilton. They didn't whine and even kept singing his praises when Hamilton was dominating F1 with Mercs (They even attacked Rosberg for being dangerous and made personal attacks on Rosberg i.e. being the son of a former Formula One world champion while Hamilton is the "victim"). Even the last few years when RB was dominating, they kept defending Hamilton and blaming everyone else including Merc.
Red Bull is literally made up of 95% British employees, and they NEVER get praise from the UK centric Sky
You either have a short memory or you are brand new to F1, because everything you said is false.
@@Lord_Lambert Another frog in a well British who has never seen the real world.
Its not Max's fault he deserves this, he has halmarks of the greats; hardly making mistakes, ruthless racer & u can count on him to be exicting if required. Its the regulations, you get close following but not much wheel to wheel action. All the other teams have dropped the ball
As a filthy casual from the states watching F1, I think what's so weird about the viewing experience, last year especially, is that we didn't even get to see Max drive. Like, F1 could be using this moment to drum up how we're watching the "Michael Jordan" of F1 right now. I don't even understand why he is so good, that's the frustration. It's like F1 doesn't even want to talk about how someone gets a 60+ second lead against the entire field - I'd say THAT is worth exploring to some extent. Get some nerds to analyze his drive and break it down to the filthy casual like me, help me understand why Checo appears to drive the car like a buffoon while max gains 2 seconds a lap on 2nd place.
Yes, I watch every race.
But I don't hope for a different outcome.
For me as a Max fan, this is the golden age in motorsport.
But if someone else wins, he or she was better than Max and deserved it.
I think the best should win.
Einstein didn't say "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result". He wasn't associated with the phrase untill the 80's , decades after his death.

Most gamblers quit right before winning big.
It’s a dilemma when a non-britt dominates for two seasons… Let’s see… Two seasons in which max has dominated with his lowly teammate only winning four races, one close season in which Lewis & Max’s teammates only won one race each, four seasons with Lewis dominating in which his teammate won 9 races (0.25 races a year more than Sergio averaged in the two dominant RB seasons.) Why wasn’t this a problem when it was Hamilton? Right, because he’s British.

Edit: This is not to say anything about you as the video publisher is anti-max verstappen. I agree with the sentiment that its boring to see 1 person winning all the time which is why I bring up this point in the first place
I find it suprising how everyone so quickly and conveniently forgets Mercedes and Hamilton, especially in 2020 for example ... and acts like this is just now becoming a problem.
And the funny thing some say Max should not be in the grid now and F1 will not boring yet when Max DNF in Australia last sunday and it was boring race and not have fight for the win and Sainz run away with it so removed Max and Red bull but instead will have another team dominating and funny if Max didnt DNF we will have maybe close fight for the win seem Ferrari realy was as Fast as the Red bull or even Faster that way i think this season will not be like last season let see what will happend in Suzuka 😮🎉

I feel like I understood Schumachers dominance when I was a kid because you could literally see it for yourself on TV. I miss when the director didn't feel like the cameras were toys to play around and actually gave you context to the things that were happening in the race. You'd get to see Michael's onboard and experience the man working for a lap or two STRAIGHT. No cuts.
Watching the man go to work and tame the beast. Become the beast.
I know I sound like an old fuck and I'm just 30. But I do miss the long onboards.

Like, you know. His craft.
I started watching this season with the mindset that whoever wins 2nd place is the true winner that day. The Constructors and drivers championships are gonna be won by RB, so where will you get your excitement? 2nd place
The older i get the more I'm in favor of gatekeeping and not listening to casuals. I fondly remember the days when I was a Häkkinen fan. Yes I talked shit about Schumacher to my friends but I had to admire his driving. Watching Mercedes buying F1 title after title was what broke me. This era of F1 is the best in a decade at least. The quali times are so close and that is what makes Verstappen stand out even more. I still root for Alonso but seeing Max break every record under the sun is mesmerizing.
In south africa we have a racing series where there is a guy named Franco screbante
He winds nearly every race he does
A while ago he started last and gained 5 places in the first lap
You can't beat Franco he's too fast and that porshe is too fast but no one complains
We love Franco even tho he wins every race
This is why I don't mind max being dominat it's racing

It's simple
You know, it feels about as consistent as 2014 Xfinity Kyle Busch.

You want an exiting F1? here're some tips:
-Get rid of the budget cap. That way investing in F1 isn't a 10 year commitment for investors.
-With that in mind, then Liberate design a bit, including engines. That way innovation popup constantly, surprising us every year
-With those in mind, then Let new teams join, and fail, or win, who knows!
You can also sprinkle the sport with: full track DRS, LESS STREET TRACKS, no sprint races and maybe a final invitational race after the season is over with only former F1 champions driving whatever they want in a classic track like Spa, Monza or Silverstone.
This needs to get pinned
Anything but full-track DRS is hardly doable.
Whats the problem with the cost cap?
"get rid of the budget cap" yes so the likes of MB and Ferrari can just *spend* their way out of trouble, and dominate like MB dominated for 8 seasons. Genius idea.
Max Verstappen took the red bull seat, the girl and the daughter too just for good measure. Jeez man!!!
I don't get what is so perplexing about this era, Max is just clearly the best driver on the grid. If red bull had 2 Perez's they finish last season as 2nd in the constructors if lucky and wouldn't be sniffing a Drivers title. Max is the reason this iteration of red bull is dominating, you could put him in an alpine and he'd be lock for points every weekend. Its not like before where 1 team was seconds faster than all the others. Outside of Verstappen the grid is as close as ever.
I think its not the fact that hes dominating, its the fact that he wins every week with a 10+ second gap. It turns people off, especially in America where F1 is trying to get. We're used to close racing in Indycar and NASCAR, not Baku-level dominating
Bro shut up about max winning on Lewis at abu dhabi. Lewis overtook Max off track at the start of the race. It was all fair.
Bunch of winging babies complaining about good racing.
instead of blaming rb and max, i think we should blame the rest of the teams for not putting up the competition... how stupid the world has become!
It's f1 fault. 20-21 they finally had two teams and drivers that were practically equal. Then they go and change the rules/cars.
Well said Josh! Us real fans are not ‘bored’ of him winning. Rather we are amazed as to how he can consistently deliver, no matter the conditions, circuit or tyre degradation.
Fake fans calling for this to end are the same people that will praise Michael Schumacher during his domination era.
We just need to pause and admire as how one driver can cope with anything thrown at him and drive to the limit every lap in every race.
Sit back and enjoy this special driver. Cheers!
