Why Red Bull hasn't been able to move on from the Max Verstappen / Sergio Perez F1 controversy
The fallout from Max Verstappen’s refusal to follow team orders at the Brazilian Grand Prix to help Sergio Perez continued into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, with the team taking responsibility for handling the situation poorly, and also condemning the abuse Red Bull and its drivers have been subjected to since Sunday night at Interlagos. Red Bull had hoped that the behind-closed-doors discussions that took place on Sunday night would be the end of the matter. But it appears the saga has rumbled on behind the scenes, leading to the team issuing a statement about it on Thursday in Abu Dhabi. #RedBull #MaxVerstappen #SergioPerez Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
The real reasons Haas ditched Mick Schumacher for Nico Hulkenberg in F1
After months of speculation, it’s finally been confirmed: Mick Schumacher will not race for Haas in 2023, with Nico Hulkenberg making a full-time return to Formula 1 in his place. It’s a decision that’s been a long time coming given Hulkeberg was first linked to the seat in early September. Eponymous team owner Gene Haas and Guenther Steiner gave Schumacher every chance to prove himself, but ultimately decided not to keep him both for on and off-track reasons. The second Haas seat alongside Kevin Magnussen was the last vacancy on the 2023 grid, meaning the full line-up for next season is in place. #F1news #Haas #MickSchumacher 00:00 Schumacher out, Hulkenberg in 00:54 Why Schumacher was dropped 03:04 Did Mick deserve another chance? 06:02 Why Hulkenberg?

McLaren's unexpected boost for its Daniel Ricciardo replacement in F1
McLaren’s Formula 1 driver plans for 2023 featured a major risk when it became clear the team wanted to bin a multiple grand prix winner, in Daniel Ricciardo, for a rookie that McLaren hadn’t even evaluated itself. Oscar Piastri’s switch from Alpine to McLaren was one of this season’s biggest talking points, and the move was so contentious that Alpine spent a long time playing hardball. In an unexpected twist, though, McLaren, Piastri and Alpine have finally reached a mutual understanding - handing a boost to McLaren and the man tasked with succeeding where Ricciardo failed. #F1 #McLaren #OscarPiastri 00:00 McLaren's driver gamble 00:38 Piastri's early release 04:06 Why it matters 06:21 Who else is moving early?

Why Max Verstappen had to be punished for Lewis Hamilton clash in F1's Brazilian GP
For the first time in 2022 Mercedes had a race-winning car at the Brazilian Grand Prix, and almost inevitably Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen wasted little time in adding to their infamous list of collisions. While Hamilton recovered to finish a close second to team-mate George Russell, Verstappen could only make it back to sixth after pitting for a new front wing and later serving a five second penalty for causing the collision. In this video we’re going to explain why the stewards felt Verstappen was at fault, and we’ll also get into how we think this decision shows the increasingly specific guidance around wheel-to-wheel combat that was introduced for this year is flawed. 00:00 First clash of the year 00:40 Why Verstappen was punished 03:01 Flaws in the rules 05:42 Can they race each other? #MaxVerstappen #LewisHamilton #BrazilianGP READ MORE HERE https://the-race.com/formula-1/how-verstappen-hamilton-feud-fits-in-with-f1s-racing-rules/ Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
How F1's crazy silly season triggered a big 2023 driver gamble
Formula 1’s crazy 2023 silly season made a mockery of some teams that took certain plans for granted, and rewarded those that were ruthless in getting their targets. It also left some drivers out in the cold and gave new opportunities to various others - some expected, some less so. For one team that had a particularly turbulent time in the driver market, though, the last few months have led to a particularly big gamble for 2023 - banking on a driver that was on nobody’s radar barely a year ago. #F1 #F1news #F12023 00:00 Off the radar 00:30 F1's crazy driver market 02:48 Williams's gamble 05:33 What's Plan B?

😫 Daniel Ricciardo's HIDDEN F1 weakness that's been exposed at McLaren
What's gone wrong for Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren after he shone at Red Bull and Renault in F1? Mark Hughes explains how the weakness Ricciardo's shown over the last two years was probably always there, it had just never been brought out by the previous cars he'd driven. #F1 #DanielRicciardo #McLaren Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
The trait of F1 legends that Max Verstappen has shown in 2022
Max Verstappen’s path to winning the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship with four races to spare could not have been more different to the journey to his first title. Last year, he prevailed on the very last lap in the most intense title fight in history. But as this season has gone on, his progress has become increasingly serene. Winning this year’s title has been easier for Verstappen than in 2021. How could it not be given last year’s fight between him and Lewis Hamilton was so acrimonious? But it has allowed him to show, for the first time, a trait he shares with all the greats in F1 history. That’s not to say Verstappen hadn’t already shown his brilliance prior to this year, but every championship campaign has a different character that allows a driver to show a different dimension to their skillset. To identify and understand this legendary trait, we need to take a detailed look at how Verstappen has gone about taking what has ultimately proved to be one of the most comfortable championship wins in F1 history. #F1 #MaxVerstappen #RedBull Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace
How Red Bull can fight F1 cost cap verdict after being found guilty
The FIA has officially confirmed that Red Bull overspent and breached Formula 1’s cost cap regulations during Max Verstappen’s first title-winning season in 2021. But the much-anticipated announcement from the governing body contained no details of the exact nature or precise scale of the breach, and said the penalty was still being discussed. Ferrari and Mercedes have made very clear they believe the laptime value of even what’s officially classed as a ‘minor’ breach would be considerable, and have already called for “severe” action long before the official announcement. But Red Bull refuses to back down. Not only does it remain adamant it came in under the cost cap for 2021, it has promised to follow the FIA’s processes to challenge the outcome, and hasn’t ruled out taking further action if necessary. To work out what happens next in this saga, Glenn Freeman is joined by Edd Straw and Ben Anderson to discuss all the details. #F1 #RedBull #F1costcap READ MORE HERE https://the-race.com/formula-1/our-verdict-on-red-bull-f1-overspend-and-wait-for-penalty/
