Horner was shocked by Verstappen's turn 5 speed in Suzuka

F1 Japan Qualifying Onboard

Best f1 channel in my opinion. No stupid opinions etc., just very interesting and carefully analyzed facts.

Love the table that you added in the bottom left. With the other comparison videos (eg. Australia) it's sometimes hard to compare the different numbers, I have to go back and forth a lot, so this is the perfect solution for presenting the speeds.

It's like "Schumacher shatters the morale", in Suzuka, too.

[Pareto]

Bro I just watched 50seconds of this video and it’s more interesting and informative then 99% of F1 channels.

You are him! Keep it up

Glad somebody did a proper analysis on Verstappen’s pole lap. That was a Vettel or Schumacher level masterclass in the esses and it should be massively praised.

When people talk about driver skill in racing, they usually talk about flashy stuff, like saves from massive slides, or driving a car with massive oversteer and constantly correcting it. While that looks very cool and takes some skill, all professional drivers can do this without even thinking.
In reality, the most impressive driving doesn't look impressive at all. It looks smooth and easy, even though it's faster than everyone else. Just like Max is doing here. The only giveaway of Max's level is Checo's inability to keep up with him.

That car looks glued to the racetrack. It's insane how it takes the esses.

Something interesting is also Leclerc's approach to the corner, he sacrifices T5 for a faster T6 and he is a lot faster in that corner than anyone else, even Verstappen.

I fuckin love this channel. F1 is all about the details and you can’t really find any in depth videos like these. Thank you!

[George.Coleman]

Norris is so smooth on that throttle, like an art to get power on again so gently

[abinandhbhaskar.p]

2019 lap was done by seb, who absolutely loves suzuka

[Mcrochev]

I think its safe to say that max is safely in the top 3 best drivers of all time

[fabrizioravera]

Absolutely love your videos, but in this specific case (as you also mentioned at the end of the video) I think a T7 speed comparison would have been appropriate, as T6 is very much a "setup corner". As you said Alonso and Verstappen were able to go flat-out in T7 because they sacrificed their T6 speed, while Leclerc had to lift substantially because his T6 speed was so high.
Anyway, great content! These ultra-level detail videos are so good!

Tracks where Verstappen is very good: suzuka, spa, zandvoort and red bull ring

[pumpbano]

He knows that car, amazing. He approaches turns 3, 4, 5 with such confidence it‘s almost frightening

[cryptedmog]

honestly i think verstappen is gonna smash his own pb and the 2019 t4 - 6 this week!! but I hope ferrari can get there!

[BariumCobaltNitrogn]

He just has a smoother line, more centered, still hands, steady throttle and he enjoys the speed.

[littletweeter]

That’s insanity. T5 is possibly my favorite corner on the track on sim. In the 2000’s cars you can take a ton of curb and just launch yourself up the hill it’s fun

[coopoco]

Am I the only one absolutely VIBING to the background music??

[pedramhaqiqi]

Very nice video. Commentary would prob be a nice add on for future vids.

[Daniajax]

This man has done so many underrated and incredible things. People talk about Hamilton’s lap in Singapore ‘18 but forget about laps like this and Monaco ‘23..
