Redbull has tremendous confidence over Max to carry the championship single handedly, so Perez's only job is to attract tonshite if money for the next 2 years.
And in Canada, the weekend of the extension he also qualified shit & then crashed out during the race, so yeaaaaaah, he should have been kicked 2 years ago atleast
@@mystdeisanto9647it made more sense when their car was dominating like it was. When that is the case you don't want two competitive drivers, look at Lewis and Nico. It just creates a huge headache for the team. When the car was miles ahead Max could drive off into the distance and there would be nobody else on the grid who could get near him and potentially cost him time or a race, not even his teammate, and perez could then eventually make his way to near the front and get the team some decent points. Now the other teams are starting to compete again it's left RB in a bad position where one driver is repeatedly underscoring.
This isn’t even a joke. Mexicans hate Perez, they’re some of the most loyal people to there country you have to wonder why the stands aren’t constantly full of Mexican flags everywhere. His dad is an extremely corrupt politician
because he was mediocre on and off the track, and by off the track i mean burning bridges with key people in the team, that included starting a shouting match with THE adrian newey over set ups. that's no way to keep your seat at a pressure cooker team like rbr no less when you're already under the limelight for all the wrong reasons
@@izzy3784 L.M.A.O. Did you know that Pierre wasn't even allowed to see his family during GP weekends, and that the team changed his setup without asking him? He was either there to test things, or permanently covered up. Yes, he wasn't ready at the time, but RB made no effort to put him in good condition, because they were quick to want Albon's money in RB (oddly enough, he was allowed to see his family during GPs^^).
If it weren't for Perez's wealthy family and excellent lawyers he would be out by now. There is no good marketing in losing the constructors championship.
Perez brings in 70% of all merchandise sales/sponsor money due to his connection to the huge Mexican market. You won't find many drivers as impactful in that sense. Still rather he left tho
@@izzy3784 2 of Pérez' pitstops were the fastest of the race, the other was average. Gasly, on the other hand, had one terrible stop. Not sure about the strategy, but doing a 3-stopper can be the best way to make up places if your race pace is good (see Vettel in 2014 at the same track). Unfortunately, Pérez also lacked race pace.
You can clearly see the advantage in the first corner where Gasly has that extra intuition to take it slow in fast out. It gave him the stability to shrink the radius in the first corner so that he can take the 2nd corner with a greater one thus giving him faster speed until the 4th corner. Super smart. This is the stuff that Verstappen does best. In fact he does this in all corners and keeps that advantage despite a much slower car.
Yeah, Gasly was smart here, had a much slower car but took better lines. Perez either is sitting comfy now that he has the contract or just can't drive, cus that Redbull might not be the dominant car like last year but it's still toe and toe with the McLaren. It's embarrassing at this point and I like Checo as a driver. Damn.
The fact that Alpine's straight-line speed is the same as Red Bull's shows that its aerodynamics are not bad.The car's air resistance is so low that it can cover the difference in PU power output.
They were neck and neck through S1 and S2, but in S3 Perez corrected oversteer in T12 and wasn't confident enough to go flat through T14 while Gasly was.
He has some excuse here though. As Perez set that time earlier (less grip on the track) with an old tire (again less grip). The the second run was ruined to give Max a tow instead. While I still don't think he'd get above P5 (Piastri ran out of the track twice) but he probably at least beat the Alpines.
It may be the fact that Checo isn't confident with the car dynamics anymore, just as he did with '22 and '23. He did good in the first few races and did poorly later on. Even though RB20 understeers, it is still an overly oversteery car that Max prefers, which is the opposite of an understeery car Checo prefers.
I don't think that's it, I think there's more going, definitely something with the car that he doesn't like but I don't think it's oversteer. On the radio in practice he's constantly complaining about understeer not oversteer
can someone explain how you go from .066 to max in Japan to this in a couple of races? Like how can you be that close and then 6-8 tenths slower in quali
Perez is a great driver when things align and he is comfortable in the car, after all he didn't get to where he is on nothing. But it seems his performance drops off pretty steep when he isn't fully comfortable. Max on the other hand just seems to be better able to extract maximum performance from the car on not ideal setups hence the gap to checco in the last races.
@@meislit9217Max’s setups are always ideal, Checo’s aren’t. Checo is always telling his engineers the problems he is having, but they seem to be incapable of fixing them.
@@AS-bl5qy Except that's the opposite of what's really happening? Max has complained about the car several times this year, as has been seen and heard in a number of practice and qualifying sessions now. Difference is he's both far better at dealing with a sub-optimal car and likely much greater at giving the team all of the feedback they need to help fix the setup by race day.
@@LewisHamiltonMSPR Yes, Max complains and they fix it, Checo complains and they don’t. Roquelin said of Verstappen that he was weak in that sense (giving feedback) and likely he hasn’t improoved since, I’ve heard Gianpiero telling Max that he needs to be more specific about his complains, not just say that “it’s shit” which is what he does all the time. The difference is GP is a very experieced engineer and Bird is still very green.
@@AS-bl5qy It's a bit too easy to just say max engineers fix things checos don't. In the end it's always the combination of the car and driver both adapting and having to work together. Checos engineers can see what changes and setup Max runs and they're also not helpless idiots either, there has to be more to it than that. Max has also complained quite a bit about the car setup in recent races, especially during the San Marino race, so his setups aren't always perfect either. But setting up the car to adapt to the driver is one thing, but as soon as perc ferme hits, it's the other way around and the driver just has to adapt and make the best with whatever car he's got. In san marino Max won while complaining about the setup meanwhile Perez finished 8th.
This channel doesn't provide a talking explanation as such, you will get a video and some text explaining what is going on for the newcomers. Perez has a dip in performance as we see, him being in such a fast top 5 car and still losing to yesterday's tractor is what baffles the fans
Looks like the RB is both down on power and HP compared to the Alpine somehow. Gasly is able to carry more speed through fast corners and also get on the power earlier in slower ones, with Checo having to make corrections in those indicating he has lower downforce. Perez is having to make a lot more corrections at slower speeds. Strange.
The distance to the next right-hander is very short, therefore the exit is not as important as minimum speed. Also you see the drivers struggling with mid-corner balance so presumably a wider radius also helps to alleviate that. Interesting to note that some drivers prefer a different, late(r) apex during race trim compared to quali trim (notable example being Norris).
Look up late apex and "racing lines explained" by chain bears on youtube. Hitting the apex later allows the 2nd half of the apex to have a straighter angle towards the straight on the exit. As opposed to hitting the apex at the middle of the corner exactly, the 2nd half of the apex would have the car be still turning to the right towards the straight.
Seems like due to the development, the car starts to shift away from Perez, same as last year. He is good at the beginning and then starts to fade away as the season goes on
If you look at how Verstappen drives that Red Bull you could see where the problem is. RB20 have huge understeer midcorner-exit phase. Verstappen just deals with it, using less differential lock and rotating car with some extra throttle. Perez simply driving it in a classic way maximizing corner speed and making it only worse, losing large chunks of time where its crucial - at corner exits.
Exactly. Max uses that bit of throttle that all great drivers use (look at Alonso or Hamilton onboards) to spin the rear of the car. But that requires supreme confidence, Checo doesn't have it and he goes with the conservative way of using constant throttle and he loses time.
@@justincharles6585 usually when people talk about oversteer vs understeer driving styles it means corner entry and how they go through the entire corner, i promise you no driver prefers to suddenly understeer mid corner.
Tbh Gasly is showing pace for points after Monaco now. So he's improved his racecraft and quali pace. Perez should not be at Red Bull at this point if he keeps on underperforming like this.
The fact Barcelona is a traditional european permanent track meant Perez would do bad again. It's the opposite of what you typed. Tracks like Monza, Singapore, Baku with traction zones after the summer break are the ones where Perez could be competitive again.
He should perform in every track. European tracks cannot be an excuse for being bad. Also, Barcelona is the default track and being bad at it means your skills are lacking.
@@baseerrehman9598 That's a great point, they all have so much experience on that track that there's literally no excuse for any of them to be bad at this particular track.
@@christianadriandelarosagar7261 another mexican who just can't accept that his country's representative driver is the worst driver on the grid only ahead of Logan. What a joke
I am not a Mexican, not a Perez fan, not an RB fan or a Verstappen fan. But the notion that Perez is simply shit is too easy. What about Gasly and Albon? Were they shit too? People weren't so disrespectful to Barrichello or Irvine, Herbert or Jos Verstappen back in the day. May be that you noticed it. They were all Schumacher's teammates. People back then weren't toxic and vomitted hate and vitriol around in F1 just because those guys lost a second to Schumacher. Barrichello was totally loved, Irvine too. So why can't people today just acknowledge that Verstappen is just so much faster than his teammates like Schumacher was back in the day? The only problem, if you loose so much time to your teammate and have a field as bunched up as the field today, you end up at the back. Wasn't like that 20 years ago. A driver loosing half a second was perfectly able to get a second place. Unthinkable today. I would actually like people to finally acknowledge that we are witnessing Schumacher-levels of talent here instead of constantly shitting on his teammates. But what do emotionally weak people of today know about positivity? Barrichello and Irvine didn't have that toxicity from F1 fans back then which is why they were consistent. But today, you see number two's at RB breaking apart. Is that what you want? To destroy people? How emotionally broken can you be? Considering that toxicity is a mirror, we at least know how broken you are when you try to break other people. Never thought that F1 or society in general could be infiltrated by so many weak and stupid people.
I don't know how those budgets limits works and parts productions. But if RB would like to improve their car as they can they could create parts only for one car(Max obviously) because he better feel the RB car. Then tell Checo to not crash. So he needs to drive 'slowly' with no risk. Not to cause any damage and repair costs. So next race they give him parts from 1st car and then Max gets another improved new parts. For me it is clear from when they bringed budget limits but now it's visible. That era of only one driver. Which one is faster then he gets new parts. So im laughing on titles "RB mistake is Perez" or sth bla bla. It's clarly reasonable to keep Perez in as trusted guy who will not throw all team secrets... and he will not be fight with Max. And RB will not have two each-other fighting drivers so Perez is best for them.
Perez has no trust in that car, you can see how he doesn't attack the entry because he's scared it's going to kick out on him. He's really got to do better than this.
Hes just lacking confidence in the car. Look at each corner right before throttle input gasly is carrying much more speed and sometimes breaking later than perez
Perez's main issue is qualifying. He was never good at that, never. Even in the seasons he demolished Hulkenberg, Hulk was generally the faster driver. He never looks good because he qualifies badly and spends all race stuck behind slower cars. I believe he would've won some more races if he qualified better. He's race pace is not great but is usually enough to keep slower cars behind, like Miami and Spa last year. The fact that he doesn't seem capable of adapting to the car, after 3 seasons of the same regulations and cars reeks 'average driver' all over, just like Fisichella driving Renault alongside Alonso.
No, the car keeps being modified towards Max's favour. ALL Redbull drivers that have raced with Max suffered the same tragedy... Having a car that gets further and further from your driving style
how does one lose it once in a while, then comes back, then loses it again in a loop "lost it" means he's washed, no performance ever meanwhile he has performance sometimes, meaning he's actually ABLE to deliver, but something stops him to do it
Checo's not confident at all. Braking early and accelerating late. The car does not suit him in any way. Not that it really should because the one to follow is Max, but another driver could perform better (thanks, Captain Obvious). Pierre has been able to brake later and push early, his slow-in/fast-out is decent enough to beat a Red Bull with that damn Alpine truck. I believe Checo could do better under Mercedes, for instance, though I don't know what their car philosophy is nowadays - I don't know if even Mercedes know lol
Can`t understand Horner's strategy here, giving Perez a 2 yr extension. Just because Perez sells merchandise in mexico, does`nt mean he`s better than other drivers who sell more globally.
The RB is so much quicker than the Alpine, yet you still see him getting on the power LATER out of corners, or accelerating at a lower level before full throttle. Take the last corner as an example, an Alpine should not be more confident around that than Perez. The comparison between Perez and Verstappen would exaggerate these weaknesses. He's good at tracks like baku, where you can get away with slamming the brakes, rolling round a corner at 60mph before just flooring it, but tracks with faster corners expose his weaknesses more.
Finally I can see Alpine > Red Bull. 😏 #2024SpanishGrandPrix🇪🇸 #VivaEspaña🇪🇸 #SaveCatalunyaWithoutChicane🇪🇸 25/06/2024 17:08 Or 05:08 PM At My Local Time.
to be honest, we give Alpine a lot of flack for being a back marker for most of the season, but 1:11.857 is considerably faster than last year's pole lap by Max, and crazy is the Alpine is down by about 20hp, which is equivalent to nearly 0.3s of lap time. Meanwhile, Checo is just doing checo things.
@@jathiyakhan720 I think is more related to the poor reliability of the 2022 season than anything,Ocon and Alonso had lots of DNF caused by the engine getting into "self destruction mode",with the detuned engines,they are slower,but at least trough the 2023 season Gasly and Ocon had a lot less engine troubles(compared to 2022).
@@justincharles6585 their engine design is not as good and to cut costs down, rules have already set in to not allow anyone to upgrade their engine anymore so they have to live with the deficit. Nobody wants to be their customer engine user since it’s such a deficit already
Red Bull is a team that is going down fast. Newey is leaving, Horner picking a paid driver to fund the team. Not to mention Red Bull - an energy drink company is going to build an engine. This is not any normal engine that we use on road cars, its a F1 engine. All the championship in the last many decades have been won by automakers with over a century of business and engine making skills. Expecting a Red Bull engine to be competitive is like expecting hens to grow teeth. If I were Max, I would leave for 2026 and join either Mercedes or Audi. The germans know how to make engines.
