2021: perez finishes 195 points behind max 2022: perez finishes 150 points behind max 2023: perez finishes 290 points behind max 2024: perez finished 285 points behind max we know max out performs his car sometime and is able to win odd races like brazil this year but perez was just shocking in his whole time at redbull. people didnt realise that before because max fighted lewis and charles in 2021 and 2022, since 2023 when redbull was a rocket perez got exposed hugely will be interesting to see how lawson does
Exactly. You simply can't make it seem like a success story. How on earth can you call it an achievement if you win 5 races with a team when your team mate at that time got 53 wins? Stats mean nothing if you can't put them in context.
As someone who has followed checo since 2011 ive never seen him this lazy I mean even in 2019 you could argue and 2020 early part...he kinda started getting complacent
@@mrbungle3310 I would say that Pérez's hunger and drive to perform to his usual level probably stagnated, because he felt like he's finally "made it" in F1 after signing for Red Bull.
@@Kuromori-v9zI mean didn’t he tho? He was already a race winner before his stint at RB (which is more than the average f1 driver who wins none) and secured generational wealth for his family. Realistically, what more is there for him to achieve in F1? He probably knew he was never going to challenge for a WDC right from 2021. Unless he wanted a permanent label as the sidekick for the most dominant driver in history, there really wasn’t much left for him.
Weren't you saying a few videos ago that Perez is a top 5 worst drivers and that Red Bull being 3rd in the constructors basically comes down to his bad performance? Make up your mind mate
That's not what he's saying here......... He's saying Marko and Christian have failed at driver management by keeping Checo so long, and as a result they have nobody in the pipeline who can be expected to replace Max when he leaves.
One thing doesn't nullify the other. He indeed drove terribly this year (and badly the previous year), so he was one of the worst But he's a very experienced and talented driver, and RedBull's management (and the way the car actually works best) failed him as well
Aldas is saying that Perez is responsible for his own shitty performances (coming from a Checo die-hard), but Horner and Marko are responsible for screwing themselves by not dropping him earlier
Not really, two things can be true at once. Perez has been terrible for years hence why he's been in my top 5 worst drivers for like 2 years running, but he's not the one who's choosing to purposefully keep him there and not the one who also drove away people like Newey
@@Aldas001 problem is with red bull They just can't find a working pair of drivers since 2009 Blaming Perez , Albon, Gasly, Webber, Riccardo, it can't be driver problem
Right. I was listening to the video thinking what is he talking about. Perez got lazy and his performance suffered. He counted on his 30 million dollars a year to carry him
I think the video isn't trying to imply that only RB is to blame to Sergio's performance, but how RB internal politics/decision making played a role as well.
@@darrenfuller2564 Definitely! Checo failed spectacularly and should have not been offered the early contract extension. While Horner may claim that the extension was alleviate his stress, but it probably influenced by Checo supporting Horner during the Horner/Marko power play.
Everyone knows those cars are difficult and max is the only driver that can get that extra out of them...but Perez got tired and complacent around 2023
no doubt checo underperformed massively and is part to blame but redbull also has a huge blame too, albon gasly and perez are all decent drivers, if they all struggled this much it means there is something wrong redbull is doing, we know max is a generation talent but being this far off him seems odd, checo was doind fine last season and this season for 5/6 races, after miami is like he forgot how to drive. having max as a team mate made checo looks worse
Being Max's teammate means whoever is alongside him, they'll be compared to him all the dang time. This is why it is the hardest seat to be in. F1 is a sport which is based on both results and performances and you have to perform all the time just to take pressure off your shoulders (and you need good finishes too even if it isn't a points finish). Us fans are very fickle (I mean, our opinion can change from session-to-session literally). Media narratives and storylines also change very quickly and at some point, it starts affecting drivers and teams to the point they're just fed up
When he went to Renault that was part of a deal with Red Bull and he stayed affiliated with Red Bull during his time there. It wasn't until he went to McLaren that he fully severed his connection to Red Bull.
He isn’t completely wrong. He was still affiliated with redbull in 2018 and was essentially on “loan” to Renault as they were the power unit supplier to both redbull teams. Only in 2019 did he officially cut ties with the redbull family. It’s a very similar situation to Alex Albon when he joined Williams in 2022. Technically the year prior he was redbull’s reserve driver but was let go to take the vacant Williams seat after Russel left to Mercedes. Throughout 2022 he too was still affiliated with redbull, only in 2023 did he officially break ties with them. So no, in this case, Aldas is right.
I was fortunate enough to meet Dietrich when I worked for Red Bull (Although I only found out who he was afterwards!). A very shrewd and intelligent man, he turned up unannounced during an international visit to London by executives who I had to show around convenience stores in Covent Garden - Apparently, he used to do this so he got an idea of what was really going on rather than having people making sure that everything was OK before his arrival. It is no surprise to me that the organisation is poorer for his sad passing
He truly was the glue that held Red Bull Racing together. I remember someone said that the moment Dietrich dies, the cracks would form. Two years later and we're seeing it
I'm rarely upset by the passing of a corporate head. I rarely know who they are! But there are a few who are the very definition of the passionate team owner, and he was that. Seeing him giving a quick, unexpected interview, smiling from ear-to-ear when Max got that first Austrian race win with Honda, was a joy! (I say this as a 109% neutral, btw.) His passion was never questioned and even though he wasn't a very public front man, his love of the sport was obvious. It's just as sad that EJ has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Another big fan of the sport who risked everything he had to start out. 😢
Remove Verstappen from RB and it becomes the 4th best team the next day. Horrible management and gestion, it's no wonder that their best talents keep leaving the team.
I personally don’t believe that Checo is just a mid driver who could never compete with the best, I personally believe that he is almost as good as drivers like Sainz. I think his main issue was not being able to adapt to what the RB20 needs to extract performance out of it. We see when the Redbull is suited to Checo he can be up there fighting with the top drivers. Baku this year was a perfect example, he was up there fighting for the win when the car was agreeing with him, and outpacing drivers like Max and Carlos in equal cars.
You are delusional to say that he is as fast as Russel and sainz… he is at best the same level as hulkenburg, but this year has shown that he is probably worse. Any driver can drive a car that they like, great drivers can extract as much as possible in a car that’s not fitted to them.
Being a top driver is being able to adapt to different cars, whether to your driving style or not. Elite - Max, Lewis, Leclerc, Lando and Russel. Good - Sainz, Hulkenburg, Yuki, Bottas, Alonso, Albon Mid - Perez, Magnessen, Zhou, Ocon, Gasly, Colapinto TRASH - Stroll
Honestly think the mistake was made when they signed Perez instead of Hulkenberg at the end of 2020 who already has a great relationship with Max and has proven with Haas and with his stand in performances with racing point he’s one of the best drivers in qualifying what Perez has consistently struggled with at Red Bull.
I actually read somewhere that Max had advocated for Hulkenberg for the Red Bull 2025 seat, before he was signed with Sauber. Unfortunately, I don't know if this is true or not, so take it with a grain of salt.
It all really started with Marko signing De Vries when Horner didn’t think much of him at all. I believe since then, decision making has become tit for tat between both of them. I maintain that the Red Bull philosophy of giving a chance to younger, inexperienced drivers, is great. They just need to steady the ship and go back to that. That said, I think Marko should just retire because he is mostly the one making bad decisions at Red Bull in my eyes
It’s obvious to me if you look at Max’s teammates over the last 10 years. He destroyed everyone by about the same margin. They are all .4 of a second behind him on average. They are all good drivers, and if they were anyone else’s teammate it would probably be a close battle during the season. Max is just on an other level. It doesn’t matter who you put beside him. He will come out on top with a clear margin. Lawson will be no different.
Checo was the exact same story as Fisichella. GOAT of the midfield who couldn't quite bring those performances to a top team. Though I think Checo is different, I really believe that RB and the Verstappens are to blame. The fact that every driver ever since he took over the no.1 seat is shit says a lot about what's going on with the team. And they also seem to fear to bring another top driver (Sainz), or Jos might have vetoed such a move.
You simply can't blame the Verstappens for this. Yes, Jos is a horrible human being and Max might enjoy his life beating his bad team mate easily, but it's Checo who needs to bring the car home in a respectable position. You can't excuse his underperforming on outside factors.
@@Duval-In-The-Wall Yeah, people only remember the meme moments of Fisichella when he felt mistreated by the team. The whole "you can't be 2 seconds slower, it's the same car!" is taken way out of context considering Fisichella immediately sped up to a similar pace to Alonso immediately after.
No doubt RedBull used Perez while he was good. And threw him away while he wasn't. Like those burner phones, use and throw pens. But they also did something remarkable which RedBull is not known for doing , extending the contract early. It didn't work. What's surprising about Perez's decline is he was not under pressure for loosing seat why couldn't he perform. He has always performed under pressure, something is very wrong with the car this year. Lawson could be the potential next victim for cursed second seat in RedBull. Similar things have happened in MotoGP with Honda. RedBull's fate will be decided when Max decides to leave.
You hit the nail on the head. By the time the contract extension was given, I think the damage was already done. According to Horner himself, when Perez gave technical feedback after the Barcelona GP 23, his concerns were brushed off as Max was winning races in the car. When Max himself started to give similar in 2024, then it was taken seriously. We all laughed at Toto Wolff printing out about Checo's complaints, but he did took it more seriously than Checo's own TP. Such incidents where his technical feedback was ignored (I bet it was more than once) and where Marko publicly saying South Americans can't focus as much as Austrians (I don't remember the exact words, but it was blatant racism) probably eroded away his confidence over time. Instead of accepting the contract extension, Checo should have looked for another seat or resigned from RB and leave out on his own volition.
since miami max scored 301 points (most of any drivers) meanwhile perez scored 49 points (least of any top team driver) that is just shocking, he had bad luck but also put himself in those situation when he dnf by qualyfing that low on the grid. perez place is in a midfield team, in a top team fighting for wins consistently is just too much pressure for him
perez is a great driver but in my opinion his entire career was driving a car that wasn't the best, the fastest, he just made due with what he had. Drivers like max refine and finely tune their car every single little bit to squeeze every ounce out of it, where checo just drove a force India shit box and maintained his tires the best he could for what like 10 years? great choice for redbull when they weren't the fastest but needed a solid driver who kept their tires alive and was there to put Mercedes off an easy pit strategy, but in the fastest car in the pack he simply does not fit that role. Similar to how bottas underdrove his Mercedes because he was used to not hurting the car and pushing the limit at Williams to take home points consistently, but that car was so fast Maldonaldo could have gotten second every race.
I reccomend everyone to at least look into some fishy situations happening at redbull with checo. David Perogil makes greats videos (in spanish) about these arguable sabotages. For example, Canada 22, checo was very close to max in the WDC and redbull deliberately give him a faulty gearbox they know would break. Theres plenty of these situations which happened, that if a Perez fan called out, he would be called delusional.
It's not particularly cold analysis if you miss the obvious fact that they kept Perez because he brought top sponsorship dollars. Perez isn't a complete turd of a pay driver like Stroll or Latifi or Mazepin, but he would have been long gone without Carlos Slim's backing.
Something that baffles me almost as much as Red Bull keeping Checo is their treatment of Yuki. He has a shocker first season, he is surpprisingly kept at Alpha Tauri, has another not so good season, still isn't dropped, and then finally when he actually does a really good job, Red Bull just ignore him and won't promote him into the main team? Seriously Red Bull, you have FOUR seats in f1, how can you mismanage your drivers this badly???
It's just in front of our eyes, Max is just far ahead of anyone on the grid! Liam is going to be fried in no time! Checo isn't a bad driver, he just can't cope with the tricky to drive RB. As Alex said, Max is able to drive the car as using a computer with the mouse set to tahe highest level of sensitivity.
It really is crazy that most fans these days can look at both the likes of Danny and Checo as absolute wastes of a grid spot. I can't help but see that having the likes of both Max and Lewis on the grid is drastically affecting what people consider just simply a "Good" driver is. Considering that most drivers who even get a chance of holding a wheel in an actual race never won, never got a podium, never got a fastest lap, never got a pole, and only achieved 8.75 points. Checo's Career is down right dazzling in comparison to easily 70% other drivers to get into the sport. If you are wondering where I got those numbers from, this video from Mr V. he procced to calculate who is the most average f1 driver of all time. ua-cam.com/video/m0m1pcpbTaQ/v-deo.html
There was comment (in a video on how poorly RB handled Daniel's exit) that mockingly calling Daniel "washed" and how he didn't deserved a proper send-off as he only won 8 races. Luckily, there were many that responded and put some perspective on Ricciardo's achievements during his F1 career. There are 36 drivers that have won 8 or more GPs than Daniel, out of a pool of 777 drivers. Basically, Daniel lands in the top 5%. of F1 drivers. It put in perspective on how extremely competitive F1 and having winning a few races itself is a significant achievement. Many fans (myself included) tend to be dismissive of drivers when looking at driver stats over without realizing the average stats for drivers. i will definitely check out the video from Mr.V. Both Checo and Danny had great careers and should be respected for their time in F1.
Nope! He was loaned to Renault from Toro Rosso, in exchange Toro Rosso got an early exit from the Renault engines. After 2018 Toro Rosso had no space so they let Carlos go
2021-2023, with Peak Verstappen, horner, newey and mateschitz will never be toppped. Obviously mateschitz died in 2022 but the rb machine carried with steam onto 2023. Them 3 years were F1 perfection from each side of the team, Strategy, pit stops, car performance, driver performance. The best operation in f1 history for 3 years which resulted in 3 amazing championships. Its sad to see it fall apart however it was never going to last forever.
Sergio isn't a bad driver, he's done good over his whole carerr and ended like Ricciardo or Bottas or Coulthard or Webber or Massa unfortunately, having those 5-15 wins and no title. But he was way more off his teammate then the other guys mentioned. He is an average driver, for average teams. That's not bad few make it even there. But second half of 2023 and 2024 his driving was atrocious. Not even making Q2 multiple times in a freaking RedBull with 13 years of experience, there's no excuse for that. Even if the car doesn't work for you you should be able to outqualify two Sauber, two Haas, Lance Stroll and both Williams over the whole season and finish ahead of them if you not get a technical DNF or crashed by someone else. RedBull hold on him longer than they should thats on them yes but they couldn't expect him doing this bad
Red Bull did mess up, but Checo is also to blame for this situation. Not only for his horriric performances, but because even after that, he wanted to cling to the seat as long as possible. And that has gotten him out of f1. If he accepted that he sucks and there's no way he is going to continue, he could have tried to have a seat for next year. Yet he put that sorry tweet with laughing faces. That's all you keed to see to understand that Red Bull absolutely does not have all the blame
My thoughts exactly. They should've handed Yuki the Red Bull seat for 2025 and given Lawson more time to develop. Well, actually they should've signed Lawson instead of a washed Ricciardo after firing De Vries in the first place... but hey, that's just the modern day Christian Horner logic. I've followed both Yuki's and Liam's careers pretty closely and I'm positive, that Liam has more potential. But putting him into the RB, with just 11 races worth of F1 experience, might go just as bad as it did with Gasly, Albon and Perez. Nobody can beat Verstappen in a car that's developed around him and his unique driving style. I believe that Lawson has the mental capacity to handle this, depending on just how bad it goes. And given his lack of experience, I honestly don't expect him to do much better than Perez, which could break even someone like him. It's just too early for him to end up in this situation. So, Red Bull could end up burning out another promising driver by throwing him in with the sharks too early. At this point it is exactly what it's being called in the video: Incompetence, or at least the long term effect of incompetence.
Your analysis is missing the big elephant in the room that has been RB for years which is, RB has forever been a 1-garage-focused team. leaving the second garage to be used mainly to favor the first driver to win the Championship. Checo, like other drivers before him in RB, was never given EQUAL support to be as competitive as Max. This is a FACT. Had you done more in-depth research you would have found this to be true. Sad thing is, only a handful of people in the media have reported on this while the rest of the media, F1 and RB itself built this unfair narrative blaming Checo 100% while making Max seem like an other-worldly driver that they want us all to believe but, we all know he is a Top driver but not a Legend. People quickly forgot how much Checo helped RB develop the RB cars and helped MAX all these years for him to become a 4 time Champion. I remind you also Checo was 2nd best last year as well. Anyway, I am disappointed to realize you are just one more member of the media who just ecoes what most of the media does this days, copy and paste information even when is so biased. Unsubscribed
I am glad you brought up about the lack of support for Sergio at RB. I too wished that he spoke about how RB is basically the Verstappen team. Horner himself revealed that when Perez raised concerns about the car after the Barcelona GP in 2023, his technical feedback was ignored as Max to continued to win races. The team basically thought the issues were related to his Perez's driving. When Max gave similar feedback in 2024 (a year later), then they started to acknowledge the issues. I suspect that most of Sergio's technical feedback were probably dismissed is a similar matter and he continued to struggle with a problematic car. I can imagine that his confidence took a hit and with the media hounding him about how performance compared to Max. Due to Max's driving skills, it masks the cars flaws until he himself cannot deal it. While along, Checo is by himself struggling with a poorly constructed car. Unlike Albon & Gasly, Perez's technical feedback would be more specific due to his experience and should have been taken seriously from the beginning.
@big-anvil they kept him one yesr more than should. And they refused Carlos and take Liam while we all know whats hapening with the rockies at Red Bull.
@@big-anvil They also looked at Alonso în the first half of the seasson, but seemed there was not place for 2 alfa drivers at red Bull. But Ferarri and McLaren they dont have protege fusy driver.
I really dont know what you mean by that. Ive never seen anyone blame him for their downfall. What he is 100% to blame is for their loss in the constructors and thats literally the only thing people have called him out for. He got an extension till 26 despite being not deserving it and still couldnt perform. So he cant blame pressure, he cant blame the team he can only blame himself. Oh but RedBull put pressure on him later on, YES you brainless ... because he was performing like Lance Stroll, despite his teammate constantly finishing in the points and making it to the podium. He put pressure on himself through his incompetence. What do you think would happen in McLaren if either Oscar or Norris started to perform like Perez. The team would at first support the driver, exactly what RB did with Checo, but after a while the situation becomes insustainable so they start making comments to the media and putting more pressure because being supportive wasnt working. Thats exactly what happened with Ricciardo at McLaren
I would say for Yuki's next ride in 26, my best bet is either Aston Martin (because they will switching to Honda engines and Yuki still has that honda partnership) or Cadillac (since Honda and GM have a good relationship).
Mark my words. Lawson will adapt fast and score podiums in his first season. He will make some mistakes but the teammate gap will be much closer than it was with Perez. Then this video will age poorly and we will all agree that Perez WAS to blame. Some of you want F1 to be like little league where everyone gets a chance to play, but this is the pinnacle of motorsport. If you can't perform you're out.
perez getting dropped proved again how redbull contracts means nothing for their second drivers, redbull is the team who fired most drivers for not performing but also the one team who found most talents and gave them an f1 seat the most compare to other teams
They kept Perez for years even though he was underperforming. Yuki underperformed in his first 2 seasons but they still kept him. Firing Devires so early was harsh, but needed. Firing Ricardo was a no-brainer.
no, he's to blame. redbull is a shit show and definitely did him dirty sometimes but in the end, he performed poorly and kept making excuses for his faults. he should have been sacked a long time ago.
WTF?? Are you serious right now? Were you joking about him being one of the worst drivers this season? Check your facts... Checo not only raked up 5 Million in damage he cost the team the WCC. That means he cost all his mechanics and engineers as well as Max's the associated bonuses that come along with that WCC win, which they have recieved the past 2 seasons. How could Checo actually work with people whom he had impacted funancially after they had to bust their asses to repair all his Damage?? RB's mismanagement is more egregious in the Yuki and Liam fiasco. RB has been in political termoil since Jos and Helmut became BFFs and Dietrich died, which divided management. That division has only growm over the last 2 years. Checo did this to himself, it wasn't Helmut or Horndog or the internal politics, it was being nearly 600 points behind Max over 2 seasons, its 10 million dollors in damage over this same 2 seasons, barely getting out of Q2 regularly and under performing when he need to deliver. I mean you had him on your top 5 WORST deivers for 2024 for a reason right? So this is just a devil's advocate piece? Nah man Checo blew it plain and simple.
Justice for Yuki! I saw Yuki’s first race and he scored a point. I thought this dude is going places. Only to see him never went anywhere!! Just because Marko/RB/Max/Horner are all racists!
Checo and RB were no longer working, a very toxic relationship. This whole video is a waste of time, any driver who is alongside Max in RB will be relegated and crushed by the internal structure of RB. RB's second seat will always be doomed, no matter if it's Sainz or Hulk, Lima's days are numbered. Nobody can drive that car like Max does, and nobody will. If RB doesn't swing the car more from side to side in the garage, anyone is doomed. And obviously that will never happen, as Max has proven that he can win with that car so unstable at the back.
You simply can't make this seem like a success story. How on earth can you call it an achievement if you win 5 races with a team when your team mate at that time got 53 wins? Stats mean nothing if you can't put them in context.
So would you say that the likes of Ruben, Massa, or David had Careers that they should have never bothered with? If you take the time to brake down who the most average F1 driver is they have only participated in 44 races, had 4 seasons, 0 poles, 0 wins, 0 podiums, and a whole 8.75 points. By those metrics his time in the sport is an incredible success. At current we have two of the greatest all time drivers to ever grab a steering wheel which greatly skews what should be expected from a "Good" driver in F1 is these days. If you are wondering where I got those numbers from this video from Mr V. were he procced to calculate who is the most average f1 driver of all time. ua-cam.com/video/m0m1pcpbTaQ/v-deo.html
@Axle0Bullitt019 And did all those drivers who fit your 'average' description (which sounds very believable btw) get to drive top tier cars like Red Bulls? No they didn't, to spend four years in a top tier car is a luxury that a huge majority of f1 drivers never get to experience, but Checo got despite his constant failures. As for your Checo comparisons to Barrichello, Massa and Coulthard, well, they only further highlight how bad Checo has been. When Rubens was at Ferrari, he helped them getting five constructors titles and finished in the top 4 in drivers standings in all of those years, and most often followed The Michael in 2nd or 3rd home, rather than struggle in the midfield like Perez. When Häkkinen was winning championships, Coulthard was his solid rear gunner, and David even beat Mika for many years. Same for Massa: was a solid rear gunner for Schumacher in 2006, and fought for the title in 2007 and 2008. Only fell off after his Hungary 2009 crash. So none of the drivers you mentioned were nearly as bad as Perez, or Checo is still really good but Max is an alien.
Horner deserves to be sacked over his driver mishandling and wasteful decisions this year. I could not believe them not only resigning Checo in the midst of his drop-off, but apparently also without out a performance clausule. Not even Carlos Slim’s money will offset the money & credibility Red Bull lost on all of this.
Not just Horner, Marko needs to be removed from Red Bull's decision making. Tost wanted Mick to be alongside Yuki in the Alpha Tauri for 2023 or to promote Lawson, but Marko inexplicably insisted hard on bringin in De Vries, who drowned massively, and then Horner shoved Ricciardo in there with the hopes that he'd make his way up to Red Bull, only for them to end up settling for Lawson, the driver with the least experience of the three. In the end, their indecision and impulsiveness was a waste of everyone's time.
I've always liked your content and I've never said anything about the Checo issue, to be honest the drama that always occurs at Red Bull has me bored and tired. However, now that you come trying to play Pontius Pilate is double side when you've been criticizing him for over a year now.
Exactly! I think the opposite is also true, if Max moves out of RedBull in future he might struggle like Vettel and Ricciardo, but only time will tell this.
bro, it all started with Red Bull own doing. Checo's disastrous performance actually is the consequences of Red Bull tension. It is Red Bull kick Newey and other crucial personnel out of the team. To make things worse, Red Bull incompetency has completely made Checo and even Max frustrated and angry. That's why Max in his recent interviews is actually more constantly call out the team
There’s many ways to look at this Checo sucks in a great f1 car Checo has underperformed in a car not suited to his style And max is overdriving a upper mid field car to stardom Honestly the line is in between the middle and last part. There were obvious times this season the redbull car was easily the 3rd best car and debatably the 4th best car. Max overcame these issues with pure talent. Checo has alr shown he can get p2 in the best car in the grid. He would’ve done it twice if it wasn’t for max in Brazil. Go get a life
Love the fact that for months everybody basically begged RedBull to fire Perez because of his performance, but the moment they actually do it, suddenly it's not his fault but RedBull's. I mean, I already expected these kind of two-faced reactions but please make up goddamn your minds people.
I think most people aren't blaming Red Bull for firing Perez, but not doing it sooner and offering him a contract extension when his performance was poor. The video talks about RB's mismanagement regarding Sergio. It is clear to anyone that RB car was not compatible to Perez's driving style. Therefore, he should have been fired sooner and replaced with another driver.
whenever you aren’t saying something a thousand people have already said and you have an actual take of your own you just sound stupid 😭 saying perez isn’t to blame is calling the sky green. yes the management obviously should have done a better job listening to checo’s feedback or dropping him earlier, but at the end of the day he was in the car and he wasn’t doing well and that’s his fault, not more to it
I respected Aldas for his unique viewpoint but this video is just piling hot garbage bull and horse shit take on the situation. RBR gave ample amount of tine to improve tried to build Perez confidence throughout the season if Perez doesnt perform how is that Horner and Marko problem. Dont give time to drivers to perform hate RbR Give drivers time to perform hate RbR You dont know shit how Liam is going to perform but already destined him to be a failure. If Yuki is hot cake why not other teams are jumping at the opportunity of signing him. Not taking sainz to RBR but Mercedes could have also signed him but I dont see Mercedes get any hate on that. Fact of the matter is your common denominator was your hate against RBR. Or you want to make some dough when entire f1 community is shitting on RBR lmao unsubscribing because of this video.
Sorry, there's a lot of incorrect information spread in this video just to clarify things. These kind of videos are really poor with information. --Checo has not been dropped from the team, he has signed into a sabbatical, which has simply just relinquished his driving duties. --The primary sponsor for Checo is Telmex, whom throughout the entire year, was in discussion to reduce their sponsorship or remove it entirely because of the issues of; > --Checo's performance was not masked by the dominance of the car. This is one of the most fundamental misunderstandings of F1, and certainly with RedBull. RedBull losing their advantage is not what lowered Checo's performance. The team was using the car with various different breaking parts, chassis modifications and Aero setups in order to find a 'fix' for the break system ban in place by the FIA towards RedBull. Telmex was present in these meetings, one massive one being mid season which saw the contract extension shortly after. This is why; > --There were no aggressive performance clauses anymore. RedBull removed the performance clause together with his sponsors in order to protect him from this being released early due to the agreements over the experimental aspect of the car going forward. --Checo will NOT be going to Cadillac. He has stated he is ending his career as RedBull, and has highlighted that he has a desire to do endurance racing/ LeMans. --Sainz being denied by the Verstappens is FALSE INFORMATION. There is no weight to this, whatsoever. The most plausible and discussed reason is the same reason they did not pick up Daniel Ricciardo. Both drivers do not fit the driving style required of the car, they simply do not fit into the seat and team dynamic. Checo did not have the driving style either, but was willing to work. That is the most accepted and confirmed reason for Daniel, and the most vocal reason from Sainz. This is an absolute horrendous video and it feels very much like it's just an AI script compiled by various current Facebook bait-ad articles. Very Bizarre.
2021: perez finishes 195 points behind max
2022: perez finishes 150 points behind max
2023: perez finishes 290 points behind max
2024: perez finished 285 points behind max
we know max out performs his car sometime and is able to win odd races like brazil this year but perez was just shocking in his whole time at redbull. people didnt realise that before because max fighted lewis and charles in 2021 and 2022, since 2023 when redbull was a rocket perez got exposed hugely
will be interesting to see how lawson does
Exactly. You simply can't make it seem like a success story. How on earth can you call it an achievement if you win 5 races with a team when your team mate at that time got 53 wins? Stats mean nothing if you can't put them in context.
As someone who has followed checo since 2011 ive never seen him this lazy
I mean even in 2019 you could argue and 2020 early part...he kinda started getting complacent
I wouldnt say checo was exposed per se, he just became complacent, he settled and pretty much said “Well im in RB now, time to stop trying”
@@mrbungle3310 I would say that Pérez's hunger and drive to perform to his usual level probably stagnated, because he felt like he's finally "made it" in F1 after signing for Red Bull.
@@Kuromori-v9zI mean didn’t he tho? He was already a race winner before his stint at RB (which is more than the average f1 driver who wins none) and secured generational wealth for his family. Realistically, what more is there for him to achieve in F1? He probably knew he was never going to challenge for a WDC right from 2021. Unless he wanted a permanent label as the sidekick for the most dominant driver in history, there really wasn’t much left for him.
Weren't you saying a few videos ago that Perez is a top 5 worst drivers and that Red Bull being 3rd in the constructors basically comes down to his bad performance? Make up your mind mate
Both can be true at the same time dude lol. He was driving like crap but RB also mishandled this.
Media literacy is dead... Commenting 5 minutes after release on a 10 minute video lol
That's not what he's saying here......... He's saying Marko and Christian have failed at driver management by keeping Checo so long, and as a result they have nobody in the pipeline who can be expected to replace Max when he leaves.
He’s afraid of losing followers like Red Bull did after dropping checo
One thing doesn't nullify the other.
He indeed drove terribly this year (and badly the previous year), so he was one of the worst
But he's a very experienced and talented driver, and RedBull's management (and the way the car actually works best) failed him as well
Bro changes his narrative every video
So he can make more videos 😂
Aldas is saying that Perez is responsible for his own shitty performances (coming from a Checo die-hard), but Horner and Marko are responsible for screwing themselves by not dropping him earlier
@@ap0llo.0ne51 yeah yeah webber, Riccardo, gasly, albon
Not really, two things can be true at once. Perez has been terrible for years hence why he's been in my top 5 worst drivers for like 2 years running, but he's not the one who's choosing to purposefully keep him there and not the one who also drove away people like Newey
@@Aldas001 problem is with red bull
They just can't find a working pair of drivers since 2009
Blaming Perez , Albon, Gasly, Webber, Riccardo, it can't be driver problem
You’re right, why hold Sergio accountable for his poor performance?
Right. I was listening to the video thinking what is he talking about. Perez got lazy and his performance suffered. He counted on his 30 million dollars a year to carry him
I think the video isn't trying to imply that only RB is to blame to Sergio's performance, but how RB internal politics/decision making played a role as well.
@ valid point. I do get that and understand that point, but at the end of the day it is Checo that failed to meet the standard.
@@darrenfuller2564 Definitely! Checo failed spectacularly and should have not been offered the early contract extension. While Horner may claim that the extension was alleviate his stress, but it probably influenced by Checo supporting Horner during the Horner/Marko power play.
Everyone knows those cars are difficult and max is the only driver that can get that extra out of them...but Perez got tired and complacent around 2023
Nah mate, Sergio has to take the same amount of blame as RB, he has been atrocious this year...
RB car is designed for Max only , what do you expect?
That is literally what he said in the video. The title is a little misleading.
@@petejackson7976 car is designed for the best performance, which Max is able to extract more of.
Why Red Bull thought that giving Perez a 2 year extension would magically fix his underperformance is beyond me.
they probably thought it would take off the pressure
no doubt checo underperformed massively and is part to blame but redbull also has a huge blame too, albon gasly and perez are all decent drivers, if they all struggled this much it means there is something wrong redbull is doing, we know max is a generation talent but being this far off him seems odd, checo was doind fine last season and this season for 5/6 races, after miami is like he forgot how to drive. having max as a team mate made checo looks worse
Checo was awful last year, and wasn't much better in 2021 and 2022 either
Being Max's teammate means whoever is alongside him, they'll be compared to him all the dang time. This is why it is the hardest seat to be in. F1 is a sport which is based on both results and performances and you have to perform all the time just to take pressure off your shoulders (and you need good finishes too even if it isn't a points finish). Us fans are very fickle (I mean, our opinion can change from session-to-session literally). Media narratives and storylines also change very quickly and at some point, it starts affecting drivers and teams to the point they're just fed up
6:37 Sainz didnt leave for McLaren though, he switched to renault!
Ferrari
When he went to Renault that was part of a deal with Red Bull and he stayed affiliated with Red Bull during his time there. It wasn't until he went to McLaren that he fully severed his connection to Red Bull.
He isn’t completely wrong. He was still affiliated with redbull in 2018 and was essentially on “loan” to Renault as they were the power unit supplier to both redbull teams. Only in 2019 did he officially cut ties with the redbull family. It’s a very similar situation to Alex Albon when he joined Williams in 2022. Technically the year prior he was redbull’s reserve driver but was let go to take the vacant Williams seat after Russel left to Mercedes. Throughout 2022 he too was still affiliated with redbull, only in 2023 did he officially break ties with them. So no, in this case, Aldas is right.
He was still a Red Bull driver in 2018 whilst at Renault, his helmet still had Red Bull branding, I meant that he left the Red Bull family for McLaren
I was fortunate enough to meet Dietrich when I worked for Red Bull (Although I only found out who he was afterwards!). A very shrewd and intelligent man, he turned up unannounced during an international visit to London by executives who I had to show around convenience stores in Covent Garden - Apparently, he used to do this so he got an idea of what was really going on rather than having people making sure that everything was OK before his arrival. It is no surprise to me that the organisation is poorer for his sad passing
He truly was the glue that held Red Bull Racing together. I remember someone said that the moment Dietrich dies, the cracks would form. Two years later and we're seeing it
I'm rarely upset by the passing of a corporate head. I rarely know who they are! But there are a few who are the very definition of the passionate team owner, and he was that. Seeing him giving a quick, unexpected interview, smiling from ear-to-ear when Max got that first Austrian race win with Honda, was a joy! (I say this as a 109% neutral, btw.) His passion was never questioned and even though he wasn't a very public front man, his love of the sport was obvious.
It's just as sad that EJ has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Another big fan of the sport who risked everything he had to start out. 😢
@@LimegreenedragonI think it was a youtuber
Remove Verstappen from RB and it becomes the 4th best team the next day. Horrible management and gestion, it's no wonder that their best talents keep leaving the team.
In the last 8 races of the season checo scored 8 points…. Max scored 130.
Replace him with a good driver like Alonso and its still one of the best cars
I personally don’t believe that Checo is just a mid driver who could never compete with the best, I personally believe that he is almost as good as drivers like Sainz. I think his main issue was not being able to adapt to what the RB20 needs to extract performance out of it. We see when the Redbull is suited to Checo he can be up there fighting with the top drivers. Baku this year was a perfect example, he was up there fighting for the win when the car was agreeing with him, and outpacing drivers like Max and Carlos in equal cars.
You are delusional to say that he is as fast as Russel and sainz… he is at best the same level as hulkenburg, but this year has shown that he is probably worse. Any driver can drive a car that they like, great drivers can extract as much as possible in a car that’s not fitted to them.
Being a top driver is being able to adapt to different cars, whether to your driving style or not. Elite - Max, Lewis, Leclerc, Lando and Russel. Good - Sainz, Hulkenburg, Yuki, Bottas, Alonso, Albon Mid - Perez, Magnessen, Zhou, Ocon, Gasly, Colapinto TRASH - Stroll
Huge cope. You can make that argument for any mid-driver ever.
He’s just lazy, he doesn’t try at all, max wants to win all day every day and that’s why he does
Agree
Liam Lawson Is Not to Blame - coming to you in 2025
Honestly think the mistake was made when they signed Perez instead of Hulkenberg at the end of 2020 who already has a great relationship with Max and has proven with Haas and with his stand in performances with racing point he’s one of the best drivers in qualifying what Perez has consistently struggled with at Red Bull.
I actually read somewhere that Max had advocated for Hulkenberg for the Red Bull 2025 seat, before he was signed with Sauber. Unfortunately, I don't know if this is true or not, so take it with a grain of salt.
2018 they could switch Sainz or Hulkenberg with Ricciardo
They REALLY should have signed Hulkenberg
Great Points you made there! Btw Sainz left RB for Renault;)
He was on loan from Redbull to be there
He’s partly to blame, but any employer who has an employee that just isn’t capable of succeeding needs to look at their own processes.
It all really started with Marko signing De Vries when Horner didn’t think much of him at all. I believe since then, decision making has become tit for tat between both of them. I maintain that the Red Bull philosophy of giving a chance to younger, inexperienced drivers, is great. They just need to steady the ship and go back to that. That said, I think Marko should just retire because he is mostly the one making bad decisions at Red Bull in my eyes
It’s obvious to me if you look at Max’s teammates over the last 10 years. He destroyed everyone by about the same margin. They are all .4 of a second behind him on average. They are all good drivers, and if they were anyone else’s teammate it would probably be a close battle during the season. Max is just on an other level. It doesn’t matter who you put beside him. He will come out on top with a clear margin. Lawson will be no different.
Checo was the exact same story as Fisichella. GOAT of the midfield who couldn't quite bring those performances to a top team. Though I think Checo is different, I really believe that RB and the Verstappens are to blame. The fact that every driver ever since he took over the no.1 seat is shit says a lot about what's going on with the team. And they also seem to fear to bring another top driver (Sainz), or Jos might have vetoed such a move.
You simply can't blame the Verstappens for this. Yes, Jos is a horrible human being and Max might enjoy his life beating his bad team mate easily, but it's Checo who needs to bring the car home in a respectable position. You can't excuse his underperforming on outside factors.
Ngl Fisichella was much better than that. He at least managed to compete in the top 5 in the fastest car
@@Duval-In-The-Wall Yeah, people only remember the meme moments of Fisichella when he felt mistreated by the team. The whole "you can't be 2 seconds slower, it's the same car!" is taken way out of context considering Fisichella immediately sped up to a similar pace to Alonso immediately after.
Lawson will demoted in 5 races after Yuki beats him repeatedly
No doubt RedBull used Perez while he was good. And threw him away while he wasn't. Like those burner phones, use and throw pens. But they also did something remarkable which RedBull is not known for doing , extending the contract early. It didn't work. What's surprising about Perez's decline is he was not under pressure for loosing seat why couldn't he perform. He has always performed under pressure, something is very wrong with the car this year. Lawson could be the potential next victim for cursed second seat in RedBull. Similar things have happened in MotoGP with Honda. RedBull's fate will be decided when Max decides to leave.
You hit the nail on the head. By the time the contract extension was given, I think the damage was already done. According to Horner himself, when Perez gave technical feedback after the Barcelona GP 23, his concerns were brushed off as Max was winning races in the car. When Max himself started to give similar in 2024, then it was taken seriously. We all laughed at Toto Wolff printing out about Checo's complaints, but he did took it more seriously than Checo's own TP. Such incidents where his technical feedback was ignored (I bet it was more than once) and where Marko publicly saying South Americans can't focus as much as Austrians (I don't remember the exact words, but it was blatant racism) probably eroded away his confidence over time. Instead of accepting the contract extension, Checo should have looked for another seat or resigned from RB and leave out on his own volition.
since miami max scored 301 points (most of any drivers)
meanwhile perez scored 49 points (least of any top team driver)
that is just shocking, he had bad luck but also put himself in those situation when he dnf by qualyfing that low on the grid. perez place is in a midfield team, in a top team fighting for wins consistently is just too much pressure for him
That stat is sooooo shocking. I mean, not even 1/6 the points that Max scored?! You can't excuse this in any way.
Yuki not being promoted is pure racism
perez is a great driver but in my opinion his entire career was driving a car that wasn't the best, the fastest, he just made due with what he had. Drivers like max refine and finely tune their car every single little bit to squeeze every ounce out of it, where checo just drove a force India shit box and maintained his tires the best he could for what like 10 years? great choice for redbull when they weren't the fastest but needed a solid driver who kept their tires alive and was there to put Mercedes off an easy pit strategy, but in the fastest car in the pack he simply does not fit that role. Similar to how bottas underdrove his Mercedes because he was used to not hurting the car and pushing the limit at Williams to take home points consistently, but that car was so fast Maldonaldo could have gotten second every race.
"Horner and Marko" and "responsibility" are things that will never go together. 🤣
I reccomend everyone to at least look into some fishy situations happening at redbull with checo. David Perogil makes greats videos (in spanish) about these arguable sabotages. For example, Canada 22, checo was very close to max in the WDC and redbull deliberately give him a faulty gearbox they know would break. Theres plenty of these situations which happened, that if a Perez fan called out, he would be called delusional.
I really like watching your videos when I need a cold analysys end explanation without any bias. And I think that’s what every F1 fan needs
It's not particularly cold analysis if you miss the obvious fact that they kept Perez because he brought top sponsorship dollars. Perez isn't a complete turd of a pay driver like Stroll or Latifi or Mazepin, but he would have been long gone without Carlos Slim's backing.
Something that baffles me almost as much as Red Bull keeping Checo is their treatment of Yuki. He has a shocker first season, he is surpprisingly kept at Alpha Tauri, has another not so good season, still isn't dropped, and then finally when he actually does a really good job, Red Bull just ignore him and won't promote him into the main team? Seriously Red Bull, you have FOUR seats in f1, how can you mismanage your drivers this badly???
Maybe you need to know why Yuki is in F1 in the first place.
It's just in front of our eyes, Max is just far ahead of anyone on the grid! Liam is going to be fried in no time!
Checo isn't a bad driver, he just can't cope with the tricky to drive RB. As Alex said, Max is able to drive the car as using a computer with the mouse set to tahe highest level of sensitivity.
It really is crazy that most fans these days can look at both the likes of Danny and Checo as absolute wastes of a grid spot. I can't help but see that having the likes of both Max and Lewis on the grid is drastically affecting what people consider just simply a "Good" driver is. Considering that most drivers who even get a chance of holding a wheel in an actual race never won, never got a podium, never got a fastest lap, never got a pole, and only achieved 8.75 points. Checo's Career is down right dazzling in comparison to easily 70% other drivers to get into the sport. If you are wondering where I got those numbers from, this video from Mr V. he procced to calculate who is the most average f1 driver of all time.
ua-cam.com/video/m0m1pcpbTaQ/v-deo.html
There was comment (in a video on how poorly RB handled Daniel's exit) that mockingly calling Daniel "washed" and how he didn't deserved a proper send-off as he only won 8 races. Luckily, there were many that responded and put some perspective on Ricciardo's achievements during his F1 career. There are 36 drivers that have won 8 or more GPs than Daniel, out of a pool of 777 drivers. Basically, Daniel lands in the top 5%. of F1 drivers. It put in perspective on how extremely competitive F1 and having winning a few races itself is a significant achievement. Many fans (myself included) tend to be dismissive of drivers when looking at driver stats over without realizing the average stats for drivers. i will definitely check out the video from Mr.V. Both Checo and Danny had great careers and should be respected for their time in F1.
Didn’t sainz leave for Renault from red bull?
Nope! He was loaned to Renault from Toro Rosso, in exchange Toro Rosso got an early exit from the Renault engines. After 2018 Toro Rosso had no space so they let Carlos go
2021-2023, with Peak Verstappen, horner, newey and mateschitz will never be toppped. Obviously mateschitz died in 2022 but the rb machine carried with steam onto 2023. Them 3 years were F1 perfection from each side of the team, Strategy, pit stops, car performance, driver performance. The best operation in f1 history for 3 years which resulted in 3 amazing championships. Its sad to see it fall apart however it was never going to last forever.
I am a Verstappen fan but Red Bulls is wrong so many times. I love him to leave Red Bull to..
Sergio isn't a bad driver, he's done good over his whole carerr and ended like Ricciardo or Bottas or Coulthard or Webber or Massa unfortunately, having those 5-15 wins and no title. But he was way more off his teammate then the other guys mentioned. He is an average driver, for average teams. That's not bad few make it even there. But second half of 2023 and 2024 his driving was atrocious. Not even making Q2 multiple times in a freaking RedBull with 13 years of experience, there's no excuse for that. Even if the car doesn't work for you you should be able to outqualify two Sauber, two Haas, Lance Stroll and both Williams over the whole season and finish ahead of them if you not get a technical DNF or crashed by someone else.
RedBull hold on him longer than they should thats on them yes but they couldn't expect him doing this bad
I predict a Ricciardo/Perez lineup at Cadillac in 2026
Red Bull did mess up, but Checo is also to blame for this situation. Not only for his horriric performances, but because even after that, he wanted to cling to the seat as long as possible. And that has gotten him out of f1. If he accepted that he sucks and there's no way he is going to continue, he could have tried to have a seat for next year. Yet he put that sorry tweet with laughing faces. That's all you keed to see to understand that Red Bull absolutely does not have all the blame
My thoughts exactly. They should've handed Yuki the Red Bull seat for 2025 and given Lawson more time to develop. Well, actually they should've signed Lawson instead of a washed Ricciardo after firing De Vries in the first place... but hey, that's just the modern day Christian Horner logic. I've followed both Yuki's and Liam's careers pretty closely and I'm positive, that Liam has more potential. But putting him into the RB, with just 11 races worth of F1 experience, might go just as bad as it did with Gasly, Albon and Perez. Nobody can beat Verstappen in a car that's developed around him and his unique driving style. I believe that Lawson has the mental capacity to handle this, depending on just how bad it goes. And given his lack of experience, I honestly don't expect him to do much better than Perez, which could break even someone like him. It's just too early for him to end up in this situation. So, Red Bull could end up burning out another promising driver by throwing him in with the sharks too early. At this point it is exactly what it's being called in the video: Incompetence, or at least the long term effect of incompetence.
Your analysis is missing the big elephant in the room that has been RB for years which is, RB has forever been a 1-garage-focused team. leaving the second garage to be used mainly to favor the first driver to win the Championship. Checo, like other drivers before him in RB, was never given EQUAL support to be as competitive as Max. This is a FACT. Had you done more in-depth research you would have found this to be true. Sad thing is, only a handful of people in the media have reported on this while the rest of the media, F1 and RB itself built this unfair narrative blaming Checo 100% while making Max seem like an other-worldly driver that they want us all to believe but, we all know he is a Top driver but not a Legend. People quickly forgot how much Checo helped RB develop the RB cars and helped MAX all these years for him to become a 4 time Champion. I remind you also Checo was 2nd best last year as well. Anyway, I am disappointed to realize you are just one more member of the media who just ecoes what most of the media does this days, copy and paste information even when is so biased. Unsubscribed
I am glad you brought up about the lack of support for Sergio at RB. I too wished that he spoke about how RB is basically the Verstappen team. Horner himself revealed that when Perez raised concerns about the car after the Barcelona GP in 2023, his technical feedback was ignored as Max to continued to win races. The team basically thought the issues were related to his Perez's driving. When Max gave similar feedback in 2024 (a year later), then they started to acknowledge the issues. I suspect that most of Sergio's technical feedback were probably dismissed is a similar matter and he continued to struggle with a problematic car. I can imagine that his confidence took a hit and with the media hounding him about how performance compared to Max. Due to Max's driving skills, it masks the cars flaws until he himself cannot deal it. While along, Checo is by himself struggling with a poorly constructed car. Unlike Albon & Gasly, Perez's technical feedback would be more specific due to his experience and should have been taken seriously from the beginning.
It's 100% Checos fault. He should've been out of the car mid-season.
Riccardo checo bottas ,its sad to see the drivers i loved so much are no longer in the grid
They choosed Liam just becouse they need Yuki to evaluate Hadjar. Also Max doesnt like fast team mates.
If Max didn't like fast teammates then they would have kept Checo
@big-anvil they kept him one yesr more than should. And they refused Carlos and take Liam while we all know whats hapening with the rockies at Red Bull.
@ I agree they should have taken Carlos, he deserves a good car. I might be delusional, but I think Lawson has a decent shot
@@big-anvil They also looked at Alonso în the first half of the seasson, but seemed there was not place for 2 alfa drivers at red Bull. But Ferarri and McLaren they dont have protege fusy driver.
Perez is absolutely to blame...
I think the best spot for Yuki would be at Aston in place of Stroll. Unfortunately, that won't ever happen for obvious reasons.
To me RedBull looks like the sketchiest and least trustworthy team on the grid, would they even have fans if Max decided to leave the team??
Your last statement was on point!
I really dont know what you mean by that. Ive never seen anyone blame him for their downfall.
What he is 100% to blame is for their loss in the constructors and thats literally the only thing people have called him out for.
He got an extension till 26 despite being not deserving it and still couldnt perform. So he cant blame pressure, he cant blame the team he can only blame himself.
Oh but RedBull put pressure on him later on, YES you brainless ... because he was performing like Lance Stroll, despite his teammate constantly finishing in the points and making it to the podium.
He put pressure on himself through his incompetence.
What do you think would happen in McLaren if either Oscar or Norris started to perform like Perez. The team would at first support the driver, exactly what RB did with Checo, but after a while the situation becomes insustainable so they start making comments to the media and putting more pressure because being supportive wasnt working.
Thats exactly what happened with Ricciardo at McLaren
I would say for Yuki's next ride in 26, my best bet is either Aston Martin (because they will switching to Honda engines and Yuki still has that honda partnership) or Cadillac (since Honda and GM have a good relationship).
They want a driver that only know the driving style of the red bull. More you drive the rb, more it will be dofficult to fit to the Verstappen way
Mark my words. Lawson will adapt fast and score podiums in his first season. He will make some mistakes but the teammate gap will be much closer than it was with Perez. Then this video will age poorly and we will all agree that Perez WAS to blame. Some of you want F1 to be like little league where everyone gets a chance to play, but this is the pinnacle of motorsport. If you can't perform you're out.
Ok let's see
😂
Helmut Marko is the the Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys) of Red Bull/F1 😂
perez getting dropped proved again how redbull contracts means nothing for their second drivers, redbull is the team who fired most drivers for not performing but also the one team who found most talents and gave them an f1 seat the most compare to other teams
They kept Perez for years even though he was underperforming. Yuki underperformed in his first 2 seasons but they still kept him. Firing Devires so early was harsh, but needed. Firing Ricardo was a no-brainer.
"Fired for not performing" should be standard for every business everywhere
Tsunoda would have gotten Red Bull that constructors championship..
I agree with most of the points you made but what if Redbull got Lawson now so that he can gain the experience he needs to compete in 26?
no, he's to blame. redbull is a shit show and definitely did him dirty sometimes but in the end, he performed poorly and kept making excuses for his faults. he should have been sacked a long time ago.
WTF?? Are you serious right now? Were you joking about him being one of the worst drivers this season?
Check your facts... Checo not only raked up 5 Million in damage he cost the team the WCC. That means he cost all his mechanics and engineers as well as Max's the associated bonuses that come along with that WCC win, which they have recieved the past 2 seasons. How could Checo actually work with people whom he had impacted funancially after they had to bust their asses to repair all his Damage?? RB's mismanagement is more egregious in the Yuki and Liam fiasco. RB has been in political termoil since Jos and Helmut became BFFs and Dietrich died, which divided management. That division has only growm over the last 2 years. Checo did this to himself, it wasn't Helmut or Horndog or the internal politics, it was being nearly 600 points behind Max over 2 seasons, its 10 million dollors in damage over this same 2 seasons, barely getting out of Q2 regularly and under performing when he need to deliver. I mean you had him on your top 5 WORST deivers for 2024 for a reason right? So this is just a devil's advocate piece? Nah man Checo blew it plain and simple.
Justice for Yuki! I saw Yuki’s first race and he scored a point. I thought this dude is going places. Only to see him never went anywhere!! Just because Marko/RB/Max/Horner are all racists!
26 would be a great time to replace Stroll with Yuki.
RedBullRacing know Tsunoda better than Hajar and Lawson, Yuki deserves the seat, no exception
Checo and RB were no longer working, a very toxic relationship. This whole video is a waste of time, any driver who is alongside Max in RB will be relegated and crushed by the internal structure of RB. RB's second seat will always be doomed, no matter if it's Sainz or Hulk, Lima's days are numbered. Nobody can drive that car like Max does, and nobody will. If RB doesn't swing the car more from side to side in the garage, anyone is doomed. And obviously that will never happen, as Max has proven that he can win with that car so unstable at the back.
he is to blame. simple
Do you think Lindblad is better than or rated more highly than Antonelli?
I like how you are acknowledging the facts, but you’re narrative on checo the past years has been awful
I rate they should let Liam develop
You simply can't make this seem like a success story. How on earth can you call it an achievement if you win 5 races with a team when your team mate at that time got 53 wins? Stats mean nothing if you can't put them in context.
So would you say that the likes of Ruben, Massa, or David had Careers that they should have never bothered with? If you take the time to brake down who the most average F1 driver is they have only participated in 44 races, had 4 seasons, 0 poles, 0 wins, 0 podiums, and a whole 8.75 points. By those metrics his time in the sport is an incredible success. At current we have two of the greatest all time drivers to ever grab a steering wheel which greatly skews what should be expected from a "Good" driver in F1 is these days. If you are wondering where I got those numbers from this video from Mr V. were he procced to calculate who is the most average f1 driver of all time.
ua-cam.com/video/m0m1pcpbTaQ/v-deo.html
@Axle0Bullitt019 And did all those drivers who fit your 'average' description (which sounds very believable btw) get to drive top tier cars like Red Bulls? No they didn't, to spend four years in a top tier car is a luxury that a huge majority of f1 drivers never get to experience, but Checo got despite his constant failures.
As for your Checo comparisons to Barrichello, Massa and Coulthard, well, they only further highlight how bad Checo has been. When Rubens was at Ferrari, he helped them getting five constructors titles and finished in the top 4 in drivers standings in all of those years, and most often followed The Michael in 2nd or 3rd home, rather than struggle in the midfield like Perez. When Häkkinen was winning championships, Coulthard was his solid rear gunner, and David even beat Mika for many years.
Same for Massa: was a solid rear gunner for Schumacher in 2006, and fought for the title in 2007 and 2008. Only fell off after his Hungary 2009 crash. So none of the drivers you mentioned were nearly as bad as Perez, or Checo is still really good but Max is an alien.
I think you should make a similiar story based video on Fred Vasseur and Ferrari❤
Nah dude he literally is…
No he definetely is
Dude, what?! Sergio sucked! If RB had a decent 2nd driver, they could've won the constructors. Maybe not easily, but they would be up there.
lol bruh yes he is a hired athlete
Who else is driving the car ?
sainz at rb makes no sense.Liam Lawson is good young and has the balls to challenge max
Horner deserves to be sacked over his driver mishandling and wasteful decisions this year. I could not believe them not only resigning Checo in the midst of his drop-off, but apparently also without out a performance clausule. Not even Carlos Slim’s money will offset the money & credibility Red Bull lost on all of this.
Not just Horner, Marko needs to be removed from Red Bull's decision making. Tost wanted Mick to be alongside Yuki in the Alpha Tauri for 2023 or to promote Lawson, but Marko inexplicably insisted hard on bringin in De Vries, who drowned massively, and then Horner shoved Ricciardo in there with the hopes that he'd make his way up to Red Bull, only for them to end up settling for Lawson, the driver with the least experience of the three. In the end, their indecision and impulsiveness was a waste of everyone's time.
@@Kuromori-v9zred bull is being held together with tape lmao
Downfall? What downfall? They are world champion and third in the constructors titel.
I've always liked your content and I've never said anything about the Checo issue, to be honest the drama that always occurs at Red Bull has me bored and tired.
However, now that you come trying to play Pontius Pilate is double side when you've been criticizing him for over a year now.
man come on pick a side and stop commentating bull for views. Yall watch f1unchained or LawVS for actual analysis
Exactly! I think the opposite is also true, if Max moves out of RedBull in future he might struggle like Vettel and Ricciardo, but only time will tell this.
Sergio Perez is to blame. There, I fixed it for you.
He is 100% to blame
bro, it all started with Red Bull own doing. Checo's disastrous performance actually is the consequences of Red Bull tension. It is Red Bull kick Newey and other crucial personnel out of the team.
To make things worse, Red Bull incompetency has completely made Checo and even Max frustrated and angry. That's why Max in his recent interviews is actually more constantly call out the team
And yet I will blame him nonetheless
this is one of the stupidest video u have made ever
There’s many ways to look at this
Checo sucks in a great f1 car
Checo has underperformed in a car not suited to his style
And max is overdriving a upper mid field car to stardom
Honestly the line is in between the middle and last part.
There were obvious times this season the redbull car was easily the 3rd best car and debatably the 4th best car. Max overcame these issues with pure talent.
Checo has alr shown he can get p2 in the best car in the grid. He would’ve done it twice if it wasn’t for max in Brazil.
Go get a life
True he shouldnt have been resigned.
WTF maaaan
You said, and I was agree, Perez is one of the worst drivers, and know this ?
Love the fact that for months everybody basically begged RedBull to fire Perez because of his performance, but the moment they actually do it, suddenly it's not his fault but RedBull's. I mean, I already expected these kind of two-faced reactions but please make up goddamn your minds people.
I think most people aren't blaming Red Bull for firing Perez, but not doing it sooner and offering him a contract extension when his performance was poor. The video talks about RB's mismanagement regarding Sergio. It is clear to anyone that RB car was not compatible to Perez's driving style. Therefore, he should have been fired sooner and replaced with another driver.
That video posted by F1 really making ppl feel pity for Perez. He was horrible point blank
whenever you aren’t saying something a thousand people have already said and you have an actual take of your own you just sound stupid 😭 saying perez isn’t to blame is calling the sky green. yes the management obviously should have done a better job listening to checo’s feedback or dropping him earlier, but at the end of the day he was in the car and he wasn’t doing well and that’s his fault, not more to it
I thought you are smarter..
I respected Aldas for his unique viewpoint but this video is just piling hot garbage bull and horse shit take on the situation.
RBR gave ample amount of tine to improve tried to build Perez confidence throughout the season if Perez doesnt perform how is that Horner and Marko problem.
Dont give time to drivers to perform hate RbR
Give drivers time to perform hate RbR
You dont know shit how Liam is going to perform but already destined him to be a failure.
If Yuki is hot cake why not other teams are jumping at the opportunity of signing him.
Not taking sainz to RBR but Mercedes could have also signed him but I dont see Mercedes get any hate on that.
Fact of the matter is your common denominator was your hate against RBR. Or you want to make some dough when entire f1 community is shitting on RBR lmao unsubscribing because of this video.
Nah bro, I always like your content, this one just ain't it.
Sorry, there's a lot of incorrect information spread in this video just to clarify things. These kind of videos are really poor with information.
--Checo has not been dropped from the team, he has signed into a sabbatical, which has simply just relinquished his driving duties.
--The primary sponsor for Checo is Telmex, whom throughout the entire year, was in discussion to reduce their sponsorship or remove it entirely because of the issues of; >
--Checo's performance was not masked by the dominance of the car. This is one of the most fundamental misunderstandings of F1, and certainly with RedBull. RedBull losing their advantage is not what lowered Checo's performance. The team was using the car with various different breaking parts, chassis modifications and Aero setups in order to find a 'fix' for the break system ban in place by the FIA towards RedBull. Telmex was present in these meetings, one massive one being mid season which saw the contract extension shortly after. This is why; >
--There were no aggressive performance clauses anymore. RedBull removed the performance clause together with his sponsors in order to protect him from this being released early due to the agreements over the experimental aspect of the car going forward.
--Checo will NOT be going to Cadillac. He has stated he is ending his career as RedBull, and has highlighted that he has a desire to do endurance racing/ LeMans.
--Sainz being denied by the Verstappens is FALSE INFORMATION. There is no weight to this, whatsoever. The most plausible and discussed reason is the same reason they did not pick up Daniel Ricciardo. Both drivers do not fit the driving style required of the car, they simply do not fit into the seat and team dynamic. Checo did not have the driving style either, but was willing to work. That is the most accepted and confirmed reason for Daniel, and the most vocal reason from Sainz.
This is an absolute horrendous video and it feels very much like it's just an AI script compiled by various current Facebook bait-ad articles.
Very Bizarre.
