The Redemption of Carlos Sainz? 

They said the same thing about the wtf1 podcast before Singapore, chill

Sainz about to have engine failure in formation lap because of Revell curse

Can someone name every driver who has suffered from revell curse?

He already made a vid on sainz

@@Tzomthekliafafanboy Yeah, even made a joke about it in this very video.

RIP Carlos F1 career.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Brother is to F1 what Drake is to the UFC

He’s not important enough to jinx anyone

I knoooooooow…. Why the hell did he have to do tho to Carlos?! 😅

Exactly. I think Josh is forgetting that some of those times Charles finished ahead of Carlos, were down to Ferrari strategy calls. Especially when Carlos was asked to move over to let Charles pass. And while there were comments about Carlos spinning and losing it several times, it is almost completely ignored that Charles has thrown away several great results with silly mistakes. Focusing on one drivers errors and pretty much ignoring the other drivers errors is hardly a fair comparison. It still stands that in his first year with the team, he beat the guy who was already established in the team, and his gap to Charles has never been massive, so why is one the holy messiah and the other needs "redemption"?

​@@caphowdy666 Lol what. Have you read any comment section? People rip into charles over tha smallest error and act like hes one of the most crashiest drivers on the grid, when the exact opposite is the reality Charles was 14-5 with Carlos in the races when neither of them had issues in 2021. Its just that Carlos had a perfect season both in terms of reliablity and other outside factors, and even then he only beat Charles by less than 10 points. 25 points in Monaco,a likely podium in Hungary, and went from good points to none in russia because he got left out when the rain fell. Charles also lost double the points to reliability and outside factors in both 2022 and 2023, and still beat Carlos. Charles beat Carlos comfortably in 2022, would have done in 2021 and they were neck and neck in most of the races of 2023. But when it counted, Charles went to another level, and scored more points than any driver (except him) in the final 7 races, despite a DNS and a DSQ, and ultimatley jumped Carlos, who in turn crumbled and fell to 7th.

Have you not watch 2022 and 2023?

⁠@@dylanburston7453Charles Leclerc is a God-tier driver. If F1 was only about driving skill, Verstappen would have a run for his money. Problem is, Ferrari (at least when run by Italians) have been stuck in their trap of deifying one driver before remembering “oh shit, the rules say we have to have two” since seeing what the small Frenchman instituted with every teammate of the German. Other problem is, Charles has had a tendency to what I call the George Russell school of racing. Nobody can drive at 110% every lap of every race like these lads think they can. He’s nothing like as bad as George, but he definitely has a long way to go to get his head game down to a world champion level. I think this is something drivers raised by Red Bull get, while Mercedes and Ferrari wouldn’t tolerate that sort of defeatism. Just like Max, and Seb, Carlos knows how and when to give it enough (though Max needed MANY years to mature, and Carlos never had anything close to a dominant car). If the old Maranello doctrine of “never let your number two race the Chosen One”, they’d have quite a different balance. Maybe Charles would still have been 2-1 up, but it would be because of stepping up his game. It was Sainz who pulled Ferrari out of the doldrums from the start of the second half of last year. Without Qatar and Vegas - misfortunes that not even the most fervent Sainz haters could blame on him, Sainz would’ve beaten Alonso and Leclerc. It took a Frenchman to put right the long-term damage done by the other one. Maybe Charles will benefit from the more pragmatic approach, being that he’s less likely to be pushed by the wayside if he doesn’t always perform at the same level as Hamilton. Vasseur is the best gift Ferrari could ever have hoped for. I don’t think Lewis would even have entertained the thought of joining an Italian-led clown fiesta Ferrari, but he owes a lot to Fred and he knows he’s in the best hands. (The only people who could blame what happened to Carlos in Qatar and Vegas on the driver impacted are the “every teammate Lewis ever had including the Finnish ones was the superior driver but wokeness and stuff“ people)

Binotto appreciated Carlos way more than you'd think, just saying.

@@EllySensei yeah Binotto even wanted to adjust the car to fit Carlos a bit better...Vasseur's regime has heavily favoured Leclerc.

​@@gamewondertv7934It was pretty obvious that Leclerc was the one who took Vasseur out of Sauber and into the Scuderia. I assume Leclerc told the Ferrari higher-ups if they were to not give in to his demands, probably because of clear bias within Binotto and his cohorts, he would walk out, leave, and never come back. Elkann was backing him, Piero Ferrari was there. Pretty much the higher-ups were on his aisle.

​@@gamewondertv7934and by the way, you can also say Binotto has a regime too when he was leading. Him, Sanchez, Mekies, Rueda, they were pretty much the big guys. Reports say Binotto's micromanagement led engineers there really hurt the team's morale in the long term.

@@EllySensei Absolutely. Binotto's regime had lots of negatives, I certainly prefer Vasseur's leadership. But Binotto liked Sainz a lot more than Vasseur does.

bro jinx it

i have bad news for you

Gotem

Hahah 😂

.

Really? That joke is so old.

LMAO SAME

@@TheLibermanianot everyone has heard the jokes you know fam

i mean he talks in the video about the lack of consistency. so not sure about that. he has the talent but he does struggle to put it all together

@@WCmexico98 His start to 2022 was extremely rough. It was the first time he had a car capable of winning in F1 and I think the pressure got to him and he was pushing past his limits. It was embarrassing, tbh. But outside of that, he's earned his Smooth Operator nickname for good reason. He was on a steady rise up to McLaren, and once he was able to settle in at Ferrari, he's been fairly consistent. He's driven so many different cars in his career, that his adaptability has to be mentioned. Doesn't drive dirty, has good race awareness, has shown quickness over his career even if it's not at the level of Max and Charles. He carries himself very well and there's definitely something to be said that everywhere he goes, his team always has tons of respect for him. Even McLaren still celebrates for him when he's won races at Ferrari. I'm not saying he's the GOAT, I'm not saying he's the best driver on the grid, but the dude is solid. Every driver has their bad days, but overall Sainz is consistent. We just tend to zone out and forget the days he's consistent and only remember the extremes.

@@MrBrian-fq4lr we'll have to agree to disagree. he's definitely lacked consistency everywhere he's driven. that doesn't mean he's not a good driver. but he does tend to show flashes of brilliance in small stints and then it disappears completely. i think we remember the extremes of every driver, but even if he's consistent, it's normally consistent in the lower points rather than above p5. it's not a bad thing!

Big loss for Ferrari considering who is going to take his seat next year.

@@gangoffour6690 the guy who beat carlos sainz in championship standing with shitty mercedes ?

I know right. My man got fucked over

Yes.. that was a really bad break.

Well said!!

This is towards his dad

he's never been bad but he also hasn't ever been great for more than two successive races

Nuh uh. That was funny. You just proceeded to get more subs.

He jinxed both 😉

so real

I am withholding judgement about who's the better driver until the last lap of 2024. Sainz has a fire burning inside that I have not seen in prior years. He wants to leave his mark on Ferrari and have Leclerc second guessing himself all season. So far, it is working.

@@ErnieBayless Looking at the season so far I highly doubt sainz will beat leclerc but I really believe sainz is just as good if not better than drivers like Russel

It could be the best thing ferrari has done in 2 decades if Newey comes to Ferrari because he said he wants to work with hamilton

Lewis' ego and paranoia will NOT play well with Ferrari's culture and operational 'difficulties.'

Whose here after he still made it to Q3 anyways

That's not josh's fault,Leclerc was faster in race pace compared to carlos in all the races excluding bahrain this year but he constantly messed up in quali. In Australia I think leclerc was slightly faster (10 secs gap in second stint doesnt matter if you close it up to 2 secs by the end despite starting 2 positions behind and being on a worse strategy) And in China for the first time they qualified next to each other this season and the pace difference becomes apparent even though I expected Sainz to do better on this track due to being more experienced but I was wrong

What about leclerc in bahrain?What about leclerc in Brasil?And in Vegas carlos never had the race pace to be anywhere near charles and would've lost to him anyway

Every time Carlos does something good, you have Charles stans crawling out of the woodwork making excuses. Both Charles and Carlos have their good days and bad days. Sometimes they line up, sometimes they're opposite. Just celebrate when your driver does good and quit trying to bring the other guy down when they don't. Charles is great, but his fans are the worst.

@@flips220 I’m not saying sainz is bad, I’m a sainz fan. Both have bad weekends and good weekends, charles has just been unlucky that when Carlos does better an opportunity opens up at the front of the grid. If verstappen had more problems at the races between Singapore and Australia and charles or someone else won we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Charles out qualified sainz 9/11 and the two times he didn’t, max had problems.

@@kugsyy i find funny this underlying tone in the arguments that basically imply "Charles has been destroying Sainz", when they've been the most evenly matched pairing in the grid results-wise. The argument falls apart when you compare it to Max vs Checo or Alonso vs Stroll. That is complete annihilation. Sainz and Leclerc just go back and forth throughout the season.

@@TheProkonover not really. they've been evenly matched wins wise. but Charles has overall had stronger pace and has more poles/podiums. the only reason they go back and forth is because the car tends to go in different directions. 2022: car had a strong front end (charles prefers oversteer). car veered toward a better rear end at the beginning of 2023, favoring carlos who prefers understeer

​@@flips220 i think that's exactly where he has got step up on

🥺

the guy who finished in P3 2023 driver championship ?

@@Dendyaryadi yes, im not saying hamilton is bad, I just think he isn’t that much better than sainz. Plus he is much older. Sainz could last Ferrari a decade.

You beat me to it by under a minute👏🏻

When he does land a seat, it is going to be with a top team, and it is going to be a very lucrative financial agreement. Every visit to the podium is worth many millions of dollars in his future contract.

Sainz hasnt dropped in form mate its just that Charles found his footing

It's just a sprint..chill

@@janhavi.v1320 ? You are still commenting this after Charles beat Carlos in the race aswell so are you behind in time or what?

11 Minutes in, worth it

When is a Josh video not at least decent?

@@TheFatSandwhich never, it’s always a 10/10

At 6:31 it kinda looks like Sainz is about to take a dump in his car.

The most Ferrari strategy of Ferrari strategies 😂😂😂

Yeah

exactly. anyone who thinks he won’t get one is kidding themselves

@@WCmexico98 I think the potential scenario is that he gets left out because he's aiming for Red Bull or Mercedes and putting Sauber on the backburner. Maybe Sauber/Audi don't play that game and move on, then he whiffs at RB/Merc and suddenly he doesn't have a seat. I guess there's Williams and Haas though. I think he'd just take a year off in that case.

In the ammount of races they've been sharing team, Leclerc and Sainz have the same number of race wins.

@@flips220 right but if that's the case, that's his decision and not that teams don't want him in general

@@TheProkonover That doesn’t matter, Leclerc is still the faster more consistent driver. He’s beat Carlos in quali and race h2h. Also there have been many races that Leclerc should’ve won but Ferrari was being Ferrari as usual. Lando and Daniel are great examples of this. Daniel won a race in 2021 but that did not make him a better driver during his time at McLaren. Landos consistency and pace was much stronger just like Charles’
