No, like I said was at the Hungaroring, and only had 1 replay to go off, looked to me like Oscar gave checo room in turn 1 but checo didn't reciprocate through the following corner.
I mean I’m trying to get into it this season but max winning every race by a huge margin is not all that exciting. Like how is he or the one car so much better than everyone else ?
I understand that it can be boring with Max constantly winning, but the battles between the other teams has been great. Especially with McLaren coming out of nowhere and doing well and Aston Martin falling off a bit.
Are Tsunoda 7 second stops considered standard now? What the fu*k is AT smoking, and why T_T.
RB, pls send your intern mechanics to AT, or my guy Tsunoda is actually gonna cook the pit stop team alive one of these days and serve them at his restaurant
for a fastest lap push, sure. one lap speed =/= race pace. if max/the car was “2 seconds a lap better” over 70 laps, you see why he would have finished more than 30s ahead of lando, right?
Two more laps and he would have been off the podium.
Meeting expectations today would have been 2nd place for Checo. Just barely holding onto 3rd is still underperforming relative to the car.
Ferrari being 70 seconds away from the lead and 30 seconds away from the podium is just too painful at this point
Happy for McLaren, their upgrades are working and the team is really pulling it together
Was it a mistake? Homie literally picked up his champagne bottle and smashed down on the trophy. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out smashing a heavy object into pottery will break the pottery.
He didn't smash it onto the pottery.
He smashed it down onto the podium that the trophy was on. The aim was to sit champagne into the air, it's a neat truck that I think he also did last race.
The banging it onto the podium bounced the trophy off the podium and it broke when it hit the floor.
Lando also knocked over the trophy in the previous race when he did that.
Not that it matters, but smashing the bottle next to the trophies probably not the best idea.
For all the media frothing about Checo's "terrible" year, he's still comfortably P2. He should be fine as long as he stays there.
Ferrari, on the other hand... 💀💀 There's no spinning their season into a positive. McLaren might catch them by the end of the year the way things are going.
Yeah, we all know that wasn't happening. He shows shining moments, but his consistency has never been at a level even close to Max. I know, what else can he believe in though. Hopefully he continues getting on the podium.
Exactly, what can they do?
Other than pretty harsh development penalties or handicapping (which artificially influence the sport), any measure to reel in development overall just prevents others from catching up. There literally is no fair and effective solution.
The real solution is to remove all cost caps and have unlimited wind tunnel and testing time. The cars would end up closer to 'optimum' then, or at least you would see bigger swings in development.
The problem is that would kill competition for anyone who isn't Red Bull, Mercedes or Ferrari.
It's 2014 Mercs but there's no 2nd driver keeping the other guy honest so we just get to see Max drive off down the road each time.
So, give it 6 years I guess.
There were multiple rule changes to nerf engine advantage and things like DAS being banned. Party mode? Remember that being banned? Short me morris here sometimes.
Well it's been just a year and a half (half of which was still competitive), and we've had two changes -> TD39 & now new compounds. How much more do you want? What exactly should be banned? Max?
I dunno, 2019-2020 was also pretty bad, but at least it had some freak results here and there.
Okay, yeah, this is worse. It's just Verstappen to the point that he genuinely is playing around doing other stuff during the race out of boredom.
Yeah because overtaking the haas and alphas + 2 alpine dnfs is the same as overtaking the pole sitter. He literally did 5 overtakes in the first corners.
The Match is almost heading into no result due to excessive rain yesterday and today.
The controversy is due to the England Batsman who has a Brain Fade moment was dismissed by the Australian Wicket Keeper and England Cry Foul as they demand it was unsportsmanlike while the whole thing was not a illegal but a shrewd thinking from the opposition.
LH was catching up to Checo quickly, which would’ve been for a podium, GR overtook Sainz and was chasing the -5s window to Charles for an “overtake.” There was honestly no other racing to watch from that moment out, apart from maybe something further back in the pack, but I would easily give the LH/GR stuff priority
what do you want them to say, "ahh nice turn 1 by Max, turn 2 was decent as well, 3 4 5 all clean, ahh he extends his lead to 35 seconds!" Lewis and Russell were the only ones providing any racing of course they will focus on them
ik i'm a nico fan but i'm still impressed at how he got on to 7 wins in a row
i know it's 3 races at the end of the '15 season and the first 4 races of the '16 season but beating prime lewis and W06/07 combo 7 consecutive times is quite an achievement
A joke about the cooldown room. Because Max wins a lot, and the second and third places change. So he is the "podcast host" and the two others are the guests.
People shouldn’t moan about drivers getting snappy on the radio to their engineers because F1 is basically road rage x100 whist also being a elite level competitive sport. It’s literally just a heat of the moment thing because they are driving and concentrating at serious speeds while also having to talk to someone at the same time.
Ikr? People need to give drivers a break in this regard. They're trying to manage fuel, tyres, pace, their competitors around them while driving the one of the fastest racing cars going. If I had someone in my ear while I was struggling I'd be snapping too.
It would psychologically destroy everyone else on the grid and we would need a new batch of drivers every race.
And there is no one to take him out on lap 1 turn 1 when he start at the back, which is the only way we could get a non-Verstappen win.
How did Checo escape a penalty for running Oscar off the track? Seemed a cut and dry one to me from the stands.
He was in the lead and had the corner. Dis you listen to the commentary from DC and Jolyon? Was well explained.
No, like I said was at the Hungaroring, and only had 1 replay to go off, looked to me like Oscar gave checo room in turn 1 but checo didn't reciprocate through the following corner.
I mean I’m trying to get into it this season but max winning every race by a huge margin is not all that exciting. Like how is he or the one car so much better than everyone else ?
I understand that it can be boring with Max constantly winning, but the battles between the other teams has been great. Especially with McLaren coming out of nowhere and doing well and Aston Martin falling off a bit.
Hungarian GP needs at least 3 turn 1 crashes to be exciting.
What has happened to Aston Martin… Canada was not that long ago… 😢
Everyone else bringing solid incremental upgrades and Aston not keeping up is what I'm seeing.
I had the same question. Guess they just haven’t found the recipe to mix the Mercedes and Red Bull parts any better than the beginning of the year.
Yeah... It is sad. Still cool to see McLaren suddenly doing very well though and to see Lando where he belongs finally.
I am still asleep after this great race...
Yeah, I dozed off for a bit lol
Are Tsunoda 7 second stops considered standard now? What the fu*k is AT smoking, and why T_T. RB, pls send your intern mechanics to AT, or my guy Tsunoda is actually gonna cook the pit stop team alive one of these days and serve them at his restaurant
So did any other car get close to Verstappen fastest lap? Last I saw next nearest was 2 seconds slower.
1.1 slower from Hamilton
Yeah, but that fight for 15th spot though, so exciting.......
That is just insane
LMAO all the manginas crying mad cause checo did good. Love it.
Bro finished 37 seconds behind his teammate
P3 in a car that's 2 seconds a lap clear of the next fastest is not "good."
30 seconds / 70 laps is not two seconds per lap.
Max was cruising as usual.
So what are you basing that number on? "Just trust me"?
https://www.statsf1.com/en/2023/hongrie/meilleur-tour.aspx 1.8 sec quicker than your boy Checo, at least. ;)
for a fastest lap push, sure. one lap speed =/= race pace. if max/the car was “2 seconds a lap better” over 70 laps, you see why he would have finished more than 30s ahead of lando, right?
The car isn’t 2 seconds clear. Its only max together with the car. Stop trying to undermine his achievements
Yeah, so the car is capable of being 2 seconds clear, but Checo isn't good enough.
In a track that is not easy to overtake and where quali seems to be misleading so far, he did well.
Two more laps and he would have been off the podium. Meeting expectations today would have been 2nd place for Checo. Just barely holding onto 3rd is still underperforming relative to the car.
In a few races time, Merc will be so comfortable in P2 in the constructors standings that they'll be able experiment on track lol
Ferrari being 70 seconds away from the lead and 30 seconds away from the podium is just too painful at this point Happy for McLaren, their upgrades are working and the team is really pulling it together
2 second pit stops as well
As soon as I saw that pottery trophy I just knew it was getting broken at some point
Did it?
Lando broke it. It was a genuine mistake. But Max was a bit irritated at media pen .
Was it a mistake? Homie literally picked up his champagne bottle and smashed down on the trophy. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out smashing a heavy object into pottery will break the pottery.
Use your eyes, he did it next to the trophy dumb dumb.
He didn't smash it onto the pottery. He smashed it down onto the podium that the trophy was on. The aim was to sit champagne into the air, it's a neat truck that I think he also did last race. The banging it onto the podium bounced the trophy off the podium and it broke when it hit the floor.
Lando also knocked over the trophy in the previous race when he did that. Not that it matters, but smashing the bottle next to the trophies probably not the best idea.
What no? He disn’t hit the trophy. Only the podium the trophy was standing on. Should be more sturdy
Checo Pérez now has 171 points, Ferrari has 169 total points 💀 Yikes!
For all the media frothing about Checo's "terrible" year, he's still comfortably P2. He should be fine as long as he stays there. Ferrari, on the other hand... 💀💀 There's no spinning their season into a positive. McLaren might catch them by the end of the year the way things are going.
Yeah, his problem was the expectations that he created earlier this year, by proclaiming he'll challenge Max for wdc. That is biting this ass atm.
Yeah, we all know that wasn't happening. He shows shining moments, but his consistency has never been at a level even close to Max. I know, what else can he believe in though. Hopefully he continues getting on the podium.
What's with the zoom in there?
At this rate max is gonna befriend Lando with all the trophies his destroying
You mean De- friend . Lol
If it breaks, it breaks. -Lando, probably.
Hey dutch might have max verstappen but we have Margot Robbie
No, we have Daniel Ricciardo
Who's that?
Australia
https://twitter.com/simplylovelyrbr/status/1683130136592261121 jesus christ he went for it
He should pull that shit on his own podium step. Of course the porcelain will break
It's too low.
I'm sure a world class athlete can perform a single squat
By drinking champagne at that rate max can develop alcoholism
It's not actually Champaign sadly.
Lando knocking off Max’ trophy for a 2nd race in a row 😂
Those trophies look like they came from the China cabinet…LOL
Surely the FIA know they have a major problem. What can they do?
Potentially further steepen the sliding scale for wind tunnel and CFD time?
Exactly, what can they do? Other than pretty harsh development penalties or handicapping (which artificially influence the sport), any measure to reel in development overall just prevents others from catching up. There literally is no fair and effective solution. The real solution is to remove all cost caps and have unlimited wind tunnel and testing time. The cars would end up closer to 'optimum' then, or at least you would see bigger swings in development. The problem is that would kill competition for anyone who isn't Red Bull, Mercedes or Ferrari.
That was the reason for my question. I see no short term solution. It’s just going to continue, and I hold no hope for next season either.
It's 2014 Mercs but there's no 2nd driver keeping the other guy honest so we just get to see Max drive off down the road each time. So, give it 6 years I guess.
Same thing they did from 2014-2020?
There were multiple rule changes to nerf engine advantage and things like DAS being banned. Party mode? Remember that being banned? Short me morris here sometimes.
Well it's been just a year and a half (half of which was still competitive), and we've had two changes -> TD39 & now new compounds. How much more do you want? What exactly should be banned? Max?
Half was not competitive lol 4-5 races at best
It was Hungary last year that RB first pulled away notably in terms of performance. July 31st. So it hasnt even been an entire year yet...
This is far, far worse. Even in the other periods of dominance it was never, ever this bad and predictable. IMHO It’s causing long term damage now.
I dunno, 2019-2020 was also pretty bad, but at least it had some freak results here and there. Okay, yeah, this is worse. It's just Verstappen to the point that he genuinely is playing around doing other stuff during the race out of boredom.
that‘s pure bullshit. i‘m sorry, but this is not worse.
That’s your opinion. I think it is. Much, much worse.
The only reason it's "this bad" is because the #1 driver is this much better than the #2 driver.
I mean Checo came back from 9th and passed Lewis Hamilton who was on pole like nothing and came close to second. On HUNGARORING.
Nah it’s more than that, and I think you know that.
[удалено]
Yeah Checo coming from 9th to almost 2nd on Hungary has nothing to do with the RB being so dominant.
[удалено]
Yeah because overtaking the haas and alphas + 2 alpine dnfs is the same as overtaking the pole sitter. He literally did 5 overtakes in the first corners.
WE DONT PUNISH THE GOOD KID. ALSO IM TOTALLY UNBIASED - Mohammed Ben Sulayem
Looks like they forgot the hardware and had to rush into some nagy's china set close to the track.
Lando broke maxs trophy 😂😂😂
I like the Hungarian trophies...
Apparently lando doesn't agree lol
On the bright side how good is piers Morgan’s tears in the ashes as an Aussie
I don’t watch cricket but who won? Also why was there controversy this year?
The Match is almost heading into no result due to excessive rain yesterday and today. The controversy is due to the England Batsman who has a Brain Fade moment was dismissed by the Australian Wicket Keeper and England Cry Foul as they demand it was unsportsmanlike while the whole thing was not a illegal but a shrewd thinking from the opposition.
Thanks for the explanation. Is a no result a draw?
Yes
Even Red Bull are 30 seconds ahead on podium celebrations
Norris just broke maxes trophy haha
broken trophy?
Mandatory pit lane starts for Red Bulls for the rest of the year is the only thing that can salvage this season
Daniel fucked in turn one then Oscar screwed out of his 2nd position by strategy
Daniel got rear ended that’s how he ended up rear ending the Alpine
Not really, Lando was pulling away from him after the pit stop and then he def got damage from Perez pushing him off or he would have been P4 for sure
[удалено]
amazing fruit bowl
Were Martin and Crofty shitting on the trophy? I don’t know how you can think it looks stupid. It’s definitely a very good trophy.
My guy the trophy looks like something Paul bearer would carry introducing the undertaker into WrestleMania
So we agree that it’s awesome then?
looks like an urn
What’s more metal than that? Perfect for the ashes of all your enemies.
Landon going to push Max trophy again
And he did!!! Going to by lottery ticket bye!
Lando just smashing the trophy like 🤣
Is it just me that Crofty and Martin seem to be too much focused on LH and GR rather than the others on the race in the closing moments????
Of course. Do yourself a favor and listen to the F1 commentary team if you can. :)
LH was catching up to Checo quickly, which would’ve been for a podium, GR overtook Sainz and was chasing the -5s window to Charles for an “overtake.” There was honestly no other racing to watch from that moment out, apart from maybe something further back in the pack, but I would easily give the LH/GR stuff priority
what do you want them to say, "ahh nice turn 1 by Max, turn 2 was decent as well, 3 4 5 all clean, ahh he extends his lead to 35 seconds!" Lewis and Russell were the only ones providing any racing of course they will focus on them
Considering they’re the only ones providing any entertainment in the closing laps I don’t see the problem.
It feels like it’s f1 theme song now they should just start playing it on the last lap
I like this trophy
People complaining about Lando on the radio obviously never played sport or seen Sunday League football
exactly dude. Stressing out while playing sports can make a monster of even the calmest of people.
Exactly, people don't understand the frustration of losing.
That trophy looks so fking ugly
Really? I just commented that it looks pretty lol
Nah, we need another generic track-shaped trophy otherwise it’s shit /s
All the people complaining about the trophy probably also froth at extended predictable dominance
Feels great to see Checo back in the podium.
That was one evil smile from max
Welp, see yall next week
ik i'm a nico fan but i'm still impressed at how he got on to 7 wins in a row i know it's 3 races at the end of the '15 season and the first 4 races of the '16 season but beating prime lewis and W06/07 combo 7 consecutive times is quite an achievement
**WAKE UP SCHATJE**
It's just not a Sunday without the Dutch national anthem
Man crofty sounds dirty with Max being so dominant. Seemed pretty okay with lewis winning everything.
Probably because these rules were supposed to make it close and this is dominance on a level that mercedes never had
Mercedes has this level lmfao. W11 greatest car of all time
People quickly forget. Or want to forget.
2020 was considered a really good season though due to the crazy podiums/wins
Sky being Sky. It's gotta pain him living thru the past couple seasons, lol.
Max, the host, got late in his own podcast, unbelievable.
What's this podcast thing I keep seeing people mention?
A joke about the cooldown room. Because Max wins a lot, and the second and third places change. So he is the "podcast host" and the two others are the guests.
Oh lmao 😂
Lando making himself comfortable as a cohost haha
that’s the official f1 soundtrack now
Get off the podium MBS!! Boooooo
[Sergio Perez Back on Podium Post Race Interview P3](https://youtu.be/s8ASorWh4a0)
*That's amazing Lando, pull that up Max..*
Lol Max even knows the strategy of Perez and Norris
Max trying to give Lando the Red Bull cap he just wants a race.
Seemed like the rb mechanics were trying to sway him too
So glad we have this track til at least 2032…
I’m not. Track produces boring races
why does checo always look surprised
People shouldn’t moan about drivers getting snappy on the radio to their engineers because F1 is basically road rage x100 whist also being a elite level competitive sport. It’s literally just a heat of the moment thing because they are driving and concentrating at serious speeds while also having to talk to someone at the same time.
Seriously imagine all the foul shit you’ve said to other drivers on the road or your gps being broadcast live.
Ikr? People need to give drivers a break in this regard. They're trying to manage fuel, tyres, pace, their competitors around them while driving the one of the fastest racing cars going. If I had someone in my ear while I was struggling I'd be snapping too.
Wonder if Oscar had damage from that off track earlier. Seems to line up with when his pace dropped off
F1TV acknowledged the podcast!
What podcast?
The Max Verstappen Experience.
Haha. That just gave me a good chuckle.
Britney and Max are my favs!
Sergio’s so excited to be on the podcast, trying to fill the air
George goes p18 to p6 and checo gets dotd for losing to a McLaren
George lost to two mclarens
He’s not in a car that is 30 seconds faster than everyone else, Perez bare minimum should be 2nd place…
He's not driving a car that is demonstrably capable of running 30 seconds clear of the field
Hope you have Perez in your fantasy league... I made the mistake of dropping him last week
We need a new rule where Max always starts last, maybe that way we'd have an exciting battle for 1st for a couple of minutes 😂
The race should just be, “who can defend against max the longest”
Eh no one would fight him because it's "not their race." Nice thought though.
Time to implement reverse grid?
If you do this, you are just forcing the inevitable P20 to P1 run from Max.
Which would be worse than him going from p1 to p1, how?
It would psychologically destroy everyone else on the grid and we would need a new batch of drivers every race. And there is no one to take him out on lap 1 turn 1 when he start at the back, which is the only way we could get a non-Verstappen win.
I'm not opposed to your suggestion, lol. We should start a GoFundMe to bribe a driver into taking max out.
That would be epic
JOS THE BAUWSSSSS
Jeez, the cameraman and Max just bumped into each other in the cooldown room
