Driving One Of The Most Dominant F1 Cars For The First Time 

Absolutely. The years where he just dragged the early versions around the track with precision and consistency, grabbing the last of the points, and banking hours worth of data, laid a massive foundation for that team. Same can be said about Schumacher’s time in the early Merc, and probably what Alonso will lay down as a base for Aston. These old guys are worth every last dollar in the long run.

@@mathewkirk1748 Well said my man. I struggled to understand what the hell michael did when he drove for merc. but I was younger and ignorant. i can apreciated the effort alot more now. speaking of Fernando, he has still not peaked in my eyes. believe in the plan. WC 2025 Fernando fucking Alonso in an Aston. I hope:)

@@mathewkirk1748 Agree with you, although don't forget Vettel who was one of the reasons why the AMR23 was so good.

@@adityanarain9428 Driver input helps but, it's not really them making a difference. The engineers still need to build a good car based on the data

@@slimstrait780 Hence I said one, not the greatest reason. Agree with everything else though.

Didn't he do the Nurburgring special that was a few months back ?

yes bu that was in vettels championship winning car@@pushingbroom

RB8?

Vettel is busy with his kids

@@ml8022he had the time to attend quite a few events in 23 including a red bull event at the nürburgring and the japanese grand prix

Amazing isn't it? A couple of brains working together to turn Red Bull into the powerhouse it is today. They didn't look back after DC and AN came together to give life to the beast.

Respect guyss

Yes he is a super cool Scott!

@@Dream-Academy Scot

As a kiwi, it was awesome to see DC getting advice from Liam, the interaction confirming what you've said!!! Love it!

I kind of want there to be a mini "senior season" between F1 seasons now, imagine all the old legends (or those that at least want to do this ofc) doing a couple of sprint races in last seasons car of the last team they drove for, that would be amazing

get all 4 of em out and give each an rb19 and we have a sprint race for bragging rights

@@suicidalbanananana Not _this_ would be a good reason for a Sprint race. I'd like this to be the only sprint race for next year!

@@BrazenNL good lord none of you are incharge of FIA

Don't think Newey is going to survive a proper drive in the RB19... but Vettel... oh yes!

Dc is just a nice approachable guy. If I ever get to meet him it would be great to have a beer together. 😊

I 100 percent agree

His accent and reactions when Ferrari screws up a pitstop are hilarious

Lad? He's 53, how old are you?

How can you be upset with the chin?

He is the reason i am a McLaren fan.

ohh but we can and we do with all the hate in our hearts for that wet Spa accident in 1998....i will hate him for that until the rest of my days

@@avantiferrari4250😂

@@avantiferrari4250 name checks out!

Michael forgave him , we are all human , hate is an illness, just look at the rouble in the world we live in. ​@@avantiferrari4250

Bring back dislikes

Woah, RU-vid!!

Woa

Hey youtube, why do you keep showing temu ads after i blocked them 🙄🙄🙄

Oh, hello!

the car was alright, too.

@@user-sz7qi6dd9oAh yes, the car.

Incredible car red bull Adrian newey 👍👍

How many lap records did this thing set this last season???

Sin duda alguna el mejor coche aló largo de la historia de la F1 un prodigio de motor el Honda chapó por los japos

Which is sad, because Coulthard is a crucial part of F1 history. One of Schumacher's key rivals, and pivotal in RB's rise. Meme cultures in anything as rich as F1 doesn't seem to be anything of value to me.

I kinda of wished they would have posted a raw footage of the lap. He wasnt pushing it probably driving at pre-season media pace, I am very surpised that he's able to provide commentary while driving after being away from F1 car for so long, but i think its doable as he was at the nurburgring with vettel for a media event.

@@adityanarain9428 Nah, he was clearly number 2 behind Hakkinen. Back in the days i didn't like him very much. But over the years after his carrier it turned out he is a quite funny and smart guy.

@@mowax74 I said one of, not the key rival.

its the same in V8 supercars, red bull was dominating 2/3 of the season and then a coca cola erebus motorsport team win the championship

Red bull, one of the biggest PR companies in the world. Who just happens to sell a drink as well. Im no fan of the drinks, but I like the PR stunts and content a lot usually too!

@@sidneyregeer8694 Lol Im more of a Monster guy, but yeah, you cant deny how good they are at marketing.

Even though Alex had to separate from Red Bull Racing due to nature of Mercedes-Williams cooperation, the wider Red Bull still is a personal sponsor for Alex which is why he has Red Bull logo on his Helmet. That's how much they support their drivers. Yes the main team is Sink or Swim for drivers, but should it be any different? They are a top team, demanding excellence in all departments from themselves and others, winning everything out there to win. They invest millions per driver in their development through junior categories and are actually one of those rare teams where if you have the Talent, you will get the seat one day as opposed to some recent examples where even the F2 champions don't get the F1 promotion despite being signed to an academy from an early age. They give drivers all opportunity to prove themselves and if they're good enough, they stay and they win, or else they give that opportunity to someone else. That's how it should be. A meritocracy! And as you mentioned, its not like they just leave their drivers hanging out to dry. Most of the Red Bull F1 rejects have found success in other forms of Motorsports with Red Bull as their sponsor and almost half the Grid has or had some ties with Red Bull at one stage. I just don't get the notion of hate that they receive for actually implementing a meritocracy.

same for sainz he had RB still as a personal sponser at renault

@@stayfrost04 not anymore i believe only his 1st year at williams, but correct me if i'm wrong

@@8020erwinAlex had “Monsoon Valley” logo on his 2023 helmet. That’s also own by the Thai Red Bull family.

@@tonamg53 You're right but if I'm not mistaken the Thai RB co-owner supports Albon independently and Monsoon Valley is not owned by Red Bull

With F1's silly rules, I bet they only had a limited number of laps for whatever they were doing and wanted to get back to it.

Don't forget he is 52.

He got more than 1 lap, teams are allowed 100km of running on a filming day so he likely got 23km or so since Lawson also had running on that day.

He would have pushed it harder had the lap’s been available.😊

The car went out the Pitlane past the start finish line and then back into the pits at least 6 times maybe more that day. Roughly 2 laps but only one past the start-line.

Well that wasn’t the RB19 😅

Yea, clearly Liam Lawson is talking about new Formula One Cars. Don't forget, Liam Lawson drove in Super Formula, F2 and several other car classes and Formula's. Same with DC. With good social skills you can infer that Lawson is talking about Formula one in general, not just the RB19. @@definer0

RB19 is a better car than the AT04 of AlphaTauri, especially the 1st half of the season.

He didn't say it was easy to drive competitively fast though.

The new gen of cars are very easy to drive... slowly. Unlike the old cars which were not easy to drive, even slowly.

I want the metallic back anyway, i’m sooo over the matt paints.

This

Its entirely possible but I get a weird feeling it'll be at 2025 just to make a 2-decade anniversary lol

Loved watching Him and Mika in their Mclaren days, more Newey designed brilliance!

thought he is Australian, his accent is smooth compared to people from Glasgow lol

@@Gecmajster123456 He grew up in a small village in the very south of Scotland near the border with England, it starts getting more diluted the more south you go. And starts getting more mental the more north you go😂

Did you happen to watch the F1 on BBC in 2011? It was the only year we got two drivers as the commentary team in a very long time. It was just DC and Brundle every session dropping a track/sim racer knowledge course. Honestly, in that season they went through everything, how and when to trail break, lift and coast, how BB impacts cornering. I'm pretty sure DC went into detail about the mp4/13's extra brake pedal, suspension setup, cornering lines(beyond general chat about the 'racing line'), engine breaking. DC wasn't long off the grid too, so his knowledge of the current cars was still very relevant. It was by far the best period of f1 commentary in the last few decades.

I happen to like Crofty, I cannot stand Jaques, but I do enjoy the F1 broadcast if DC is allowed to comment. but if I had to choose on F1 TV I'll take Crofty and Brundle every time.@@zelig1799

Well spotted!

This sound is sooooo good

Yeah they've done great things in other areas like bboy dancing, cart race or the homemade airplane competition. And everyone seems like they're having fun, I love it

I mean, DC drives V8 Red Bull cars fairly often. He's still in shape and a sharp driver. Obviously, he wouldn't be able to compete in one anymore, but to drive it at 80% of its potential? No problemo.

He’s on par with Daniel Riccardo

Schumi did for a moment in Spa.... 😅

DC was a good driver, but beating Max is very difficult

Id rather bet on dc having a successful campaign with sore bones and do better than checo

He will probably get his chance. This is likely the most successful F1 car ever for many years to come. And as such you can be sure that Red Bull will market the heck out of it. Expect Seb to drive it in one of the upcoming show events.

Nick, sick nice is niet goed engels

Gotta win a forth one next year for Vettel to get a drive as the OG "4 time world champ"

Some would say W11, F2004, RB19

Ricciardo: I'm in danger

Yep. They will keep Yuki for now to keep Honda and Japanese support in F1, Send DR to replace Perez and make Max happy. Done!

Actually no. These new cars are veyr easy to drive compared to his era. The only thing that is complex is getting the last few tenths out of them dealing with the complex steering wheel controls.

Exactly! With this you are not racing you are experiencing the car!

Gilles of course - not his back biting Son
