While there’s no doubt that Max is one of the most skilled drivers the sport has ever seen, his unprecedented success raises some intriguing questions about the competitive landscape of F1.
If Max is a problem then so were Lauda, Prost, Schumacher, Vettel, Senna and Hamilton. We are witnessing history in the making. The rest of the grid needs to step their game up. Plain and simple.
Glad I’m not the only one. I enjoy watching everyone else race while Max waits for someone to give him a challenge. Like personally Lando getting p2 was pretty interesting and Ferrari not making podium somehow
Djokovic, Federer, Nadal problem for 20 freakin years, the same players winning grandslams (Nadal 15 Roland Garros titles, turning the tournament in a sleepfest for over a decade), Phelps destroying the swimming field 15 years ago, Phil Taylor winning 16 world darts titles, Magnus Carlsen untouchable chess genius for 10 years, Tiger Woods, etc etc etc etc,, Max Verstappen a racing phenomenon. Get over it.
@@SpeedSportsMag. Makes sense. As someone who got the GB syndrome and had one of the worst months of my entire life after taking the "AstraZeneca jab", I completely understand the position of non-vaxxers as this product simply shouldn't have rolled out and would've never been allowed to roll out if the rules were followed. Corps broke a lot of rules and bent a lot of corners for the COVID vaccine and it's trials.
Max is very consistent in his driving. The others make to many mistakes. Ferrari and McLaren are challenging. But the drivers or pit crews make way to many mistakes.
F1 had a hamilton problem F1 had a vettel problem F1 had an alonso problem F1 had a Schumacher problem F1 had a prost and senna problem Nevermind, it's just how f1 has been for decades.
He never stated he was bored of winning, he has counterdicted that time and time again so that's BS. He said he might quit F1 simply because it requires basically your whole life to participate and he would like to participate in other sports as well.
Before he started winning (circa 2014) he even said the exact opposite: He likes being 20 seconds in front chilling without being on tv because he's all about winning.
What a load of crap, other teams simply need to get their sh*t together. Remember, RB brought a completely new concept this season and they're still ahead of everyone else. The other teams are sleeping.
I genuinely don't think people understand the work he's putting into his driving. It's sad to see people talk shit. I get it, but you don't see any of the other drivers pitting in the hours. I could be wrong. But he is blitzing the field for a reason. I actually love watching people's criticism, because it makes me understand that they are a bumb ass. Lol
I don't get it. We have had long time dominant winners in other sports as well, for example skating, cycling, boxing. Nobody was complaining about that, but for some reason, it is a problem in racing.
It's clearly not the car as most people can give Perez a go and overtake him if they keep their heads cool.. Max is in a different league than even his own team mate driving the same car... IT IS NOT THE CAR!!
For some drivers it does not matter. Look at Alonso and Lance “breakfast” Stroll. Same car, talented drivers (well, one talented driver and the other has “special” talents).
Have been watching the sport for over 30 years, this is not the first and certainly not the last time that the sport has undergone a dominant period due to one driver Afterwards they are all mentioned as legends of the sport and people would have liked to experience a driver's peak, this is such a peak and I really enjoy it Every race we sit here with a group of friends to look at all the data, this is really very special what he is doing and I have never seen it before, driving the same time for 35 laps within a hundredth Of course you want him to be challenged and I have been hoping for a long time that they will put Norris next to him, in my view someone with the skills to challenge him. And two good friends who don't give each other a yard on the track can create a spectacle
I don't have any problem at all with seeing greatness at work. People, we see F1 history written before our very eyes. I highly doubt the people unable to appreciate it to be F1 fans at all.
There is a meteorological phenomenon called perfect storm. it's defined as a meteorological event aggravated by a rare combination of circumstances. And guess what: in F1, we happen to be in the middle of it. Sure, domination is a thing in F1 but rarely will you see a combination of factors and circumstances in F1 that will cause one racer and team breaking almost every record out there in a single season like Max and Reb Bull are doing. It's simply unheard of. If you want to get rid of "the Max problem", hire a hitman. Otherwise, just be in awe of a unique piece of F1 history we're witnessing atm.
Max has an F1 problem: Max is constantly in Sim thinking of racing, LH turned into an activist, Leclerc is making ice cream in his free time. Alonso’s craft is penalized instead of respected by F1.
Don't you just love it. If you suck in F1, people yell that you are to bad for the sport, but when you are to good you make the sport boring. Max is setting new records that no other driver has ever done and that is exciting.
This is crazy biased journalism. Hamilton did this with Mercedes and he was even MORE DOMINANT than current Verstappen and it's labeled a "Vertappen problem". It's called a dynasty, and it happens in all sports of any kind, not just F1...
The problem is really more F1 itself, really since the early 2000s you have had more times of one driver/team dominating then really close every year having a new champ. That has more to do with how F1 makes their rules so when one team/car gets it locked in no matter how good the other drivers are they cant be touched. F1 has always had that problem to a degree but in years prior reliability of cars was such an issue that it was rare to have the insane dominance in the ways F1 has been in the last 20 years but especially going from total Mercedes to now total Red Bull which honestly makes for really boring viewing just knowing itll basically always be the same.
Its just sports. Every sport will have a dominate champ for years or fights or belts, but only for so long. Then a new champ emerges. Its how the game goes.
The fact that the no 2 Red Bull car is always a questionmark in Quali as well as in the race says everything! It’s Max, and always Max. He’s too good. Lando, Pierre and some other drivers are also good, but they aren’t as talented as Max is. And some, some really should be replaced.
What kind of shitty take is this?💀 It's not his fault that the others aren't as fast as him. F1 isn't only about the drivers it's also about engineering and RBR made the fastest car paired with the fastest driver and it's up to the other teams to catch up
You poignantly miss pointing out Lewis Hamilton's domination with Mercedes. I don't know why you mention all the other ones where other drivers dominate but you don't mention that one. That seems pretty targeted. You must be a Lewis Hamilton fan. Nothing wrong with that, but just be honest.
Red Bull is no problem. Look at the performance of the team's number 2. Other teams can compete with that. So the problem is Max he has become too good for the rest. Max had also become champion this year or last year in a Ferrari or a McLaren. But is it a problem? I don't think so, great champions often stand far above the rest. It is less exciting, but Max can't do anything about that. he cannot be expected to wait for the rest.
5:30 u forgot to mention Toto's push via FIA to introduce TD39 after summer break...that screwed Ferrari's pace and pushed RB even more... 8:41 "all the resources"?? MATE, ARE U AWARE OF THE COST CAP RULE?
so only the car matters and are most drivers capable to handle the fastest car in the world and win each competition as easily as what we have witnessed in the motorsport history?
No, F1 has a cost cap problem. Red Bull got 2022 right from the start and the other teams just can't spend enough money to catch up. Way back in an earlier life teams would introduce often 3 engine upgrades during the year and constantly upgrading the car. This allowed Red Bull (and to a lesser degree) Ferrari to catch up with Mercedes. A cap is not a problem per se, but it is set way too low. Even Haas almost hit the ceiling, I believe in 2023 they were just sitting at 120 million. They should have used the median of all teams to set a fair limit. All we can do now, is hope that in 2026 more than 1 team have a good answer to the new regulations, because I don't see anyone matching Red Bull/Verstappen. Ironically Red Bull changed the 2024 car design because they believed the 2023 had too many limitation and didn't provide a good platform anymore to continue building for 2024 and 2025. So, they took the gamble to change some key components of the car to make it even better. I'm sure Mercedes could have made the zero-pod concept working if they were allowed to spend 300 million a year instead of a measly 145 million. But as usual the FIA has no idea what they are doing. It even takes them ages to decide whether or not to employ a (V)SC. You don't get better results by making all teams equally poor. Besides, in F2 and F3 everybody has the same car, still there are top teams there. At the moment Red Bull is a smooth running team (at least on track) with all pitstops at the China GP within 2.2 seconds including a double stack. More than not, they have the right strategy, car is reliable and fast and Verstappen seems to drive like a robot. In that regard Perez seems more human ;-)
All the other teams have to look at getting other drivers not currently in the grid. There’s so much talent in the world but they stick to the same strategy.
Funny how channels like this link his dominance to the fact he doesn’t want to be long in F1. One has nothing to do with the other. I guess DtS channels like this one just don’t know better. 👎🏻
At least get rid of the cost cap. Let other teams at least have budget to fix mistakes. This is a baked in advantage. Either you can beat Red Bull (doubtful because ground effects are their advantage), or you have to settle for whatever place.
True. Other drivers had the same problem. But we all thought that F1 would not allow such a problem to occur again! But here we are! And it's more intensely one sided than ever. The other great drivers didn't win EVERYTHING. There was always some competition. But as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow Verstappen will be champion by August and the last third of the season will be meaningless. Don't forget there is colossal over-exposure these days and viewers with short attention spans. Personally I have switched off and watch "Goodwood" instead!
This is a really strange way to look at the dominance of a driver., if Max is a problem than so is the complete backfield There are still 19 other racers to watch, and shit can still happen to Max his car. With a little bit of luck we can see him get back from the tail to the front of a race like Brazil, Belgium...etc.. His dominance is making it extra I still hope every race to see the haas cars lose, and for the Williams to get in the top of the midfield, even though chances are slim at the moment. What kind of shenanigans is ferrari going to pull to annoy his drivers? Is the fatty ceo of McClaren finally going to drop dead, and is Lando gonna bring back McClaren? Hopefully in a different livery collor, because the orange is idiotic...
It's mainly British exceptionalism that has a Max Verstappen problem.
Well said.
One can generalise that: the British have serious problems, not only in their media, but also politically and socially.
i like Max’s dominance, Lewis’s was stagnant to me but that’s ofc my opinion, as a British citizen 🤷♀️
If Max is a problem then so were Lauda, Prost, Schumacher, Vettel, Senna and Hamilton. We are witnessing history in the making. The rest of the grid needs to step their game up. Plain and simple.
No budget
@@drepark2294yet the same budget as all the others teams
At one point Formula 1 had a Lewis Hamilton problem. Max isn't the problem, it's just the way the world works.
Lewis lost a championship to a teammate…no one has ever been competitive with Max. Not quite the same.
