You're here so I imagine you care. You clicked on the video. Plus, those guys are paid tens of millions annually from cash provided by the fans. They should give a shit. Or at least pretend like they do. Not giving a fuck is straight up disrespectful to the people who pay their salaries.@@RogerKeulen
@@pacman1pActually this is a youtube short. 99% of people watching this did not click on it, but rather were scrolling endlessly on shorts and this popped up.
The stupidest question and it still gets asked... if a reporter asks this he is firstly not taking the sport seriously, openly diminishes it and is utterly disrespectful to the drivers that he asks this question to. Like wtf? He is in the wrong place trying to oblige sensation seeking people that are critical at the sport but don't know shit about it. It's a lowball question.
To win a race you need a good car to win a championship you need a good fast driver to win championships you need a complete good talented consistent driver .
What an frustrating question. If I wanted to watch a Motorsport where it all depended on the driver’s skill, I’d be watching IndyCar Racing. I love the IndyCar series, but I watch F1 for not only the drivers skill, but also the pit strategies; the undercuts, the overcuts. The car modifications; aerodynamics, the engineering. Every little detail sprinkled with some good or bad luck from the weather. So many possibilities. Yes the backmarkers have a disadvantage but every team has had, at some point in time, their moment to shine. The drivers skill is just the cherry on top. It’s huge ass cherry, but there’s a lot more under that. Modern Example: 2020 Sakhir GP. Look up those highlights on RU-vid and watch how Perez went from last place to first by not only skill, but great luck from virtual safety cars, bad pit strategies and other team rivalries. Everything culminating towards the unpredictable victory for a competent driver and great teamwork from Racing Point at the time.
@@Redlingstein then count the years were someone with a non dominant car became champion ^^ the cars performance defines where in the field you are. And you can't brake out if this positions much unless if something crazy happens.
F1 is 80% car / 20% driver. MotoGP is 20% bike / 80% rider. That 20% in f1 does count for quite a bit though. Just compare Max with Checo. Same car, vastly different results.
Nah it's 80% car at least, it's just that the cars are not that far apart. But even over a race distance 5% makes a huge difference. 5% is 4,5 seconds a lap so honestly it's moe like 99% car.
I think it's some kind of gaslighting attempt from the reporter. Because Norris said before that Hamilton should be winning every race as he had the best car. He had only his teammate to beat, so it was easy.
Max is saying driver might be important but you need a good car otherwise there's only so much you can do. The reason Max won his first championship is because even though the RB was not as fast as the Mercedes, it was close enough for him to make the difference. In any other car that year he couldn't have done it.
They do a post qualifying and post race press conference with the top 3 in each. You can find them pirated on RU-vid, so for this one just search “F1 Spain 2024 post race press conference” and you should find one
It's him in that car, he also still needs a car good enough to win so it can't be too far off. You can tell how good Max is by how dominant he's been, winning nearly every race even if his car isn't dominant.
@@Shaka-Spear I hard disagree, it's the simple fact that in F1 you need the car to be good enough to win. The rest is up to the driver where he needs to get the most out of it. Max and Lewis both excell at that part.
@@Minifliek In F1, the driver is the decisive factor, not the car. Give all the drivers the RB19, Max will outdrive every other driver on the grid. Similarly, put the other driver on the W11, Lewis Hamilton will dominate. While every team has two drivers, one always stands out. Great drivers have a unique ability to extract the maximum from their cars. Ferrari's inconsistency is a prime example of how drivers, not cars, make the difference, otherwise the Ferrari is a good car. Lando Norris, despite driving a fast car, lacks the championship-winning mentality. It's not about the car; it's about the driver's skill and mindset. Lets stop this toxic senseless narrative its and credit the driver, not the machine.
*Lewis PIT maneuver Hamilton:* _”When I was winning it was mainly the driver. My annoying teammate just got lucky one year. With RedBull it’s obviously just the car. You guys all dubbed Checo ‘The Tyre Whisperer’, ‘The King of the Streets’ and what not, but you guys are biased. Checo is actually pretty challenged. Anyone can win in that RedBull. Except for Stroll perhaps. And Checo.”_ 🙃
I feel the penny;s starting to drop for Lando, he tried some cheecky banter and Max's instead swooped in to make him look a fool by responding in a very serious/ PR savvy! Buckle up, Lando has to go full savage now and not let Max get into his head!
I think it's some kind of gaslighting attempt from the reporter. Because Norris said before that Hamilton should be winning every race as he had the best car. He had only his teammate to beat, so it was easy.
Lando needs to put his brain into gear before his mouth. Or he looks like a fool. Sarcasm and joking doesn’t work. Wait till Lando has been around longer.
