True. They raced at that track 10 times by now in real life, they raced on it in sims and video games and Perez still doesnt know when its the best time to overtake...
He's there so no top driver can get the seat and challenge max lol As lewis said in 2021 Mexico GP "When checo is right up behind you, you know that red bull is fast" 😂
@@andrewmelton2686 Just like Mercedes with Bottas, same situation Angry Meltdown , that’s why now that he hasn’t an average teammate, Crymilton is being exposed😂😂😂😂😂
As a Max fan who also supports Checo and Red Bull, it was so frustrating to see how Checo couldn't get past Sainz with a car that had 0.5 seconds a lap over the Ferrari at that track. He was committing the same mistake with the DRS detection zone over and over again, I was like: dude, don't you realize it???
He did the exact mistake when fighting Hamilton in Abu Dhabi 2022. As a fan, it's very frustrating to watch him sometimes. More than 12 years in F1 and he is expected to be a bit more wiser if he doesn't have the outright speed. But he learns the hard way sadly.
i think everyone know, but compare to us sitting on our chair going 0 km/h, their sitting in the car going 300 km/h. So kinda make sense if F1 driver forget about that
@@muhammadfitri9830 True, but in this scenario Max, Charles, and Carlos all were fully aware of it and were trying to use it to their advantage. Checo seemed to be the only in the group who didn't get the memo.
@@muhammadfitri9830 300kmh for them is like 80kmh for us, so i think they are capable of thinking and communicating at those speeds. I think perez was too confident in his car and skill and thought he could defend into t4, i doubt he would make it this far if he was stupid
3:35 - interesting to see how the dirty air affects the front wing elements and make them vibrate, up until Perez pulls out to the side and into the clean air. Then the air is smooth again and no more vibrations.
This says much more about Perez's bad racecraft, than Verstappen's good execution. You would expect an average F1 driver to execute much better than Perez.
I think it shows Perez is not a deep thinker, whereas Max is a 0.1% pro gamer in the sim races. People in that percentile are usually there because they are quite clever. Imagine the hundreds of factors Max accounts for when he prepares for a race, and even during a race. I think that is the difference, and I think we can sum that up into one word, racecraft.
@@Miragexetbf drivers do so much in the car i wouldn't be surprised if they don't read the situation. there's levels to driving and Lewis, Max, Alonso showcase that.
It's all easy when on a couch/ chair, but quite different I imagine when going around at whatever km/h. There is no flashback option in real life. Though I think basically the same thing, why doesn't he know/ do it, but the fact it's quite difficult to race an F1 car properly does provide some circumstance to cut him some slack.
@@JuicedOnKids Indeed. The question has come up several times, and many people say Max has more bandwidth. That is to say, he has more time to think while stile driving the car at optimum. I think Lewis is in the same league, and maybe Alonso as well.
Everyday I admire Max more and more...there are so many little tactical prowesses that sometimes are buried under his domination. He will certainly be more recognized once he retires, as right now he is the guy to be defeated and everyone is blinded by their love of the "underdogs"
I remember he made the same mistakes as checo when overtaking charles in bahrain and saudi 2022. Even though that was pretty humiliating for him, he made sure to never ever let that happen to him again. That determination is what sets him apart from the rest.
There are so many instances where I see Leclerc, or Sainz or Alonso just lose complete control over the car and go straight into the wall. I have almost never seen it with Verstappen. He just understands his car so much better
DRS is one of the worst things to happen to F1. It is an inorganic tool given to drivers to allow more takeovers instead of going to the root causes of why overtakes started to dip down and solve the root causes. It created an unnatural racing atmosphere where nothing happens outside of DRS zones and drivers playing leap-frog according to DRS zones. Sad times for F1 😢
Not only in F1, but everywhere else where DRS is used it is shameful. It is like a solution managers come up with when engineers have a problem... I really hope that one day they will start focusing on the problem again and that time they will find a good solution. I would prefer a race with only 1 proper fight than a race with 100 DRS overtakes.
Cars are getting faster and more stable and the same tracks are becoming relatively smaller. You don't have straights long enough to naturally create speed differences anymore.
@@harryh536 Fully agree, so now we can have two correct solutions. One to proportionally increase track lengths, or two, decrease speed/drive stability to make the car fit the tracks, so we can have proper racing fights again.
While the DRS tactics is more obvious, what is less obvious is the brilliance of Verstappen's other decisive and smart moves. One example is when he has large overspeed on the car defending and he is given the inside line, he will close the DRS and lift way early not to overtake before the corner and not to give the defensive driver chance for slipstream and switch back sides and create problems. He just slows down enough to be side by side, just slightly ahead, giving him a commanding position to turn in from pretty wide, and give no chance of counter move. Makes the move quick, safe and decisive. Example comes to mind was on Russel turn 1 Qatar.
Max learnt this in the Charles school of racecraft in Bahrein and Saudi 22! All jokes aside it's clear that Max is on a whole different level than Checo, even in the racecraft department which is supposed to be Checo's strength.
Three consecutive long DRS zones are insane. There isn't enough corners to pull away from DRS range too. Now that cars got closer in performance, I genuinely think staying behind another car will be more advantageous this year. Norris used that effect behind Sainz last year to pull away from Hamilton. I expect some slower teams to run slightly higher Df package to make use of that.
0:47 did Max get squeezed more or less than he squeezed Lando? I'd say that's the difference between someone having a plan and someone just sending it.
Just watched this, and thought the same. Lando took the high ground - Max shouldn't move under braking, I don't want to go off track, and there was contact. Not Lando's fault, but he could have done the same as Max, gone onto the kerb, and avoided the collision. Penalty for Max is correct (moving under braking), but Lando could have avoided contact, and still got the position. Lando needs to learn. Pointless being right, if you're out of the race.
This what makes some drivers stand out compared to others.Its not all about how fast you are as a driver, its about using each individual aspect of racing to your advantage
this is my favorite track of the season and it’s the one I play constantly on F1 23, I have no prior racing knowledge and even I recently discovered this tactic by myself
The best thing about this video is showcasing Sainz moving under braking T3 the same as Verstappen did on Sunday, and yet they didn't touch or crash or anything... crazy, innit? Almost like Verstappen was squeezed yet had enough room on the outside to avoid a disaster. Gets the noggin joggin.
Great video in perspective of what happened between Lando/Max... look at how Sainz defends. That's way more agressive than this little movement Max did. Additionally, Max shows here how to execute well this overtake. Lando simply did not execute well...
I think it's the mindset of being in the best team (speaking purely technically) and the best co-driver at the given moment. I'm not defending Checo but I guess it can be devastating, especially when your teammate delivers and you are left behind. It has a snowball effect and it is guttering. Many great drivers have succumbed to that pressure and I guess, that's is the real deal that keeps champions from the rest of the pack.
Perez is certainly not the biggest brainiac on the track. Brasil '23 was another one of those "duh, what do I do" moments. Change your racing lines to get all the benefits you need. Last years Red Bull was fast, but not "outdrag a Ferrari with open DRS" fast...and definitely not when you are Perez. If one really sifts through things, you can easily say that of the current grid nobody even comes close to the attacking/ overtaking style of Verstappen. He'll do it at the first possibility and he'll make sure you can't do a switch back or something. Other drivers know this and that's why hardly any of them defend against Max, since you'll only smoke your tires.
@@deideideigd2418 I kinda did by stating Max will make sure you can't do a switchback. Max' defense is on par with some of the all time greats. His overtaking skills are however in a different dimension compared to anyone else. So most others just back down immediately.
Another example was just last week in Spain when Verstappen dispatched of Russell quickly and created a gap to win the race. Norris stayed behind for the entire stint and lost. I'm sure Max would've done better in his place.
@@froreyfire think so yeah. In the end it took Lando 7 turns to get the move on George done. Red Bull has a slower car and still Max does 1 decisive action and it's done.
You’d think someone who’s been around longer than most would be the brainiac, I mean you’d think considering his raw pace is lacking thus he’d have to make it up with race smarts. Guess not
It’s not that clever it is actually an obvious tactic. Actually doing it though is insanely difficult so massive respect for making it work so many times
Speaking of DRS usage, please make a video about that time Charles & Max were both locking up in Jeddah trying to let each other ahead for the detection zone
Verstappen is the last guy on the grid you wanna play DRS tricks or mind games with. He's literally so master in that. Even timing the sc restarts he's absolute best on timing it
I get the point of the video but these sorts of counter-intuitive DRS tricks are detrimental to the actual racing. I'll be glad to see the end of DRS in 2026, though I'm not sure if what's replacing it is any better. And F1 still has a lot of other problems like overweight cars etc.
I think Formula One has an issue when you have a system that gets the commentators all excited about the driver "getting the DRS" followed by an overtake that is generally inevitble and not exciting DRS as a concept is fine, but only allowing drivers to use it as a push button overtake system sucks the life out of racing. Then again, it allows Liberty Media to claim "over a hundred overtakes!!" compared to maybe 5 to 10 overtakes Hopefully the new system in 2026 allows a return to proper non-assisted racing
F1 needs eyes on it to survive and the fia fudging the rules to make the racing more exciting is nothing new. Senna complained about the same thing during the last year of his racing career
no point in fighting someone when their car is just better. not worth slowing yourself down. even if it sucks sometimes to see. @@Willie_Pete_Was_Here
It's crazy how you can be an F1 driver and make blatant mistakes like that when many people at home just casually watching even see the problem during the race. That said it was also Hamilton in AD 2021 that made the mistake of giving Perez DRS out of turn 7, which allowed Perez to overtake him and block him the entire lap and we know how that ended up.. there is a lot of talk about that race but that rarely gets mentioned, and I believe that's where he really lost the title, a rookie mistake.
Just a bit of context: Of course you can overtake cars in Turn 3, and even defend if the overtaken car has DRS and tries to regain the position. Perez had been overtaken most the cars in that turn because he trusted his car's power to defend. He even overtook Norris with DRS open between before Turn 4. Perez's mistake was to be overconfident with his car and understimate Sainz's, and that's why he got desperate. The thing is that Perez's engineer was too late with the recommendation. Remember that is group work. I am sure that Giapiero Lambiase would have alerted Perez earlier. There is no discussion who is better Perez vs Verstappen. It is more than demonstrated that Verstappen is the best driver in the world in recent history.
Nice video. Though I would suggest that you do the overlay information just as a floating text. Not with the box that blocks the entire video. Thats weird
*Lando Norris bad racecraft in one perfect example* Austria 2024 Crash was the same as 0:40 Lap 26. Lando should've done what Max did in this video but he tried to send it around the outside 0_o
Details like this is exactly what differentiate champions with second drivers. Imagine Verstappen doing and realizing details like this in every corner like the time gained adds up quickly. And I think it shows on his lap times anyway.
this is how Alonso also beat him, outsmarting the positioning of the car relative to checo, that’s when checo’s engineer stepped in to tell him but it was too late then
Watching this during the pre-show for the race and I think Anthony Davidson basically stole this analysis from you about the DRS on his SkyPad segment just now!
For me this shows two things. First is that Perez is the second Red Bull driver. At that level of performance I think it is fair to say that you would expect he would be able to have enough mental power to see for himself what is the best way to use DRS to his advantage. Second one is how good at his job is his race engineer. He saw opportnity that Perez didn't and instructed him how to do attack. We forget how important people around driver are, like his race engineer or personal trainer
This DRS game is the only way to make this device fun, too bad it's super rare. I wish it was something they could do easier. But ideally F1 should have an algo that disables DRS as soon as it detects speed and closing distance rate is enough to go side by side so DRS won't behave like free pass ticket as it happens 99% of the time
It’s easy to see this in hindsight and wonder why Perez didn’t realize sooner, but making these split second decisions while driving as hard as you can at 200 mph with razor thin margins between cars would make my head explode. Props to all the drivers
He already got duped by Leclerc doing the same thing lol. Not saying he isnt great but there are 3-4 other drivers of similar caliber. They just have different cars
UPDATE: Perez did the same thing on the last lap of the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix where he passed Hulkenberg going into Turn 3 only to have Hulk pass him into Turn 4

Just a bit of context: Of course you can overtake cars in Turn 3, and even defend if the overtaken car has DRS and tries to regain the position. Perez had been overtaken most the cars in that turn because he trusted his car's power to defend. He even overtook Norris with DRS open between before Turn 4. Perez's mistake was to be overconfident with his car and understimate Sainz's, and that's why he got desperate.
The thing is that Perez's engineer was too late with the recommendation. Remember that is group work. I am sure that Giapiero Lambiase would have alerted Perez earlier.
There is no discussion who is better Perez vs Verstappen. It is more than demonstrated that Verstappen is the best driver in the world in recent history.
Nice video. Though I would suggest that you do the overlay information just as a floating text. Not with the box that blocks the entire video. Thats weird
*Lando Norris bad racecraft in one perfect example*
Austria 2024 Crash was the same as 0:40 Lap 26.
Lando should've done what Max did in this video but he tried to send it around the outside 0_o
He did a outside divebomb in Austria T3, never seen that in history of racing
Details like this is exactly what differentiate champions with second drivers. Imagine Verstappen doing and realizing details like this in every corner like the time gained adds up quickly. And I think it shows on his lap times anyway.
this is how Alonso also beat him, outsmarting the positioning of the car relative to checo, that’s when checo’s engineer stepped in to tell him but it was too late then
This is a surprisingly simple problem.
49 seconds in, hey Lando this is how you do it
Hell yeaah the song is back
This is like the Fast and Furious first movie in the desert: Too soon, boy 😂
Watching this during the pre-show for the race and I think Anthony Davidson basically stole this analysis from you about the DRS on his SkyPad segment just now!
I remember catching this live and completely facepalming myself how perez couldn't realize this
funny how verstappen could use the kerb but norris couldnt.
For me this shows two things. First is that Perez is the second Red Bull driver. At that level of performance I think it is fair to say that you would expect he would be able to have enough mental power to see for himself what is the best way to use DRS to his advantage. Second one is how good at his job is his race engineer. He saw opportnity that Perez didn't and instructed him how to do attack. We forget how important people around driver are, like his race engineer or personal trainer
Your F1 videos are always on point m8! Subscribed! :)
These are things that you learn at simracing.
Crazy how selling t-shirts and merchandise is most important than good race craft.
Honda engine is sooo powerful and reliable. The low end torque . the way he pulled away from Sainz. And others is epic. Congratulations Honda.
I just watched this vid AFTER the 2024 race & wouldn't you know it... Perez did exactly the same thing again - over multiple laps!
I don't understand the crossing DRS detection first situation. Does only one car get to use it?
Lovely analysis.
Maybe Marko was right about Perez being slow, and I don’t mean in a car
This DRS game is the only way to make this device fun, too bad it's super rare. I wish it was something they could do easier.
But ideally F1 should have an algo that disables DRS as soon as it detects speed and closing distance rate is enough to go side by side so DRS won't behave like free pass ticket as it happens 99% of the time
Can you make a video of when verstappen slamed on his breaks and hamilton crashed into him. Showing telemetry?
The merchant
Sad to see this.
How the hell Perez didn't know about that? It's supposed to be the a basic rule that any driver needs to know, isn't it?
It’s easy to see this in hindsight and wonder why Perez didn’t realize sooner, but making these split second decisions while driving as hard as you can at 200 mph with razor thin margins between cars would make my head explode. Props to all the drivers
Thank you for this yelistener, now i dont have to ram my opponent in f1 every corner😁
After a near decade of drs you'd think you'd have a solid foundation of strategy and tact
We're not joking when we say Max is a pure Racing Demon.
He's 26 year old but has a Racecraft of 36 year old or older
He already got duped by Leclerc doing the same thing lol. Not saying he isnt great but there are 3-4 other drivers of similar caliber. They just have different cars
Verstappen even has time to do a bye bye.
need to remove drs and bring back old cars
Think you would know after all his experience
The title make the situation be that the rebulls were racing eachother which couldn't be any more wrong
Verstappen learned this hard way in his battles with Leclerc in previous years.
UPDATE:
Perez did the same thing on the last lap of the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix where he passed Hulkenberg going into Turn 3 only to have Hulk pass him into Turn 4
Checo clearly didn't learn the lesson...Hulk just did it to him on the last lap to hold P6
