Daniel is a braking master. His braking skill is impressive, he never locks up while braking much later and harder than others.

[metaphoricalemon]

You’d think this guy’s a retired driver with the amount of knowledge he has. Nice work as always

"...seem simple on paper". From the info you just gave us, it doesn't seem simple at all mate 😂

[HartyBiker]

A 9 minute video to tell us that sometimes you just have to lick the stamp and send it ;P

I'm new to F1 (from the US) and I've been watching your videos to understand more about it. The more I learn, the more excited I get about F1. I love your videos, keep it up man.

Okay, now I know how to overtake in f1
Now I just onyl need a f1 car

Great to see you're someone who analyses mistakes instead of just outright judging drivers. Not every overtaking move can be a successful one. This of course referring to Verstappen's mistake

[bastiankunz]

the moment you said "constant vigilance" my first thought was "Mad-Eye Moody" ... half a second later, there he is. That made my day!

I know its a small channel, but please dont stop uploading terrific content.

Another factor is psychological. It can be very mentally taxing on the driver ahead to have a faster car behind trying to get by. Not only having to focus on the correct racing line as normal but also keeping track of the rival car's location. A driver behind can try and provoke mistakes via feints and being a general nuisance in the mirrors of the car ahead.

Stuart can work as an analyst already for an F1 broadcaster or team, he has superb knowledge and intelligence about it. :D

This is Spot on.
In my Opinion Ricciardo is currently the best Overtaker on the Grid. Not just because of his Braking abilities, but mostly because he's a Master in forcing People off the Line, as you explained in this Video.
He's opportunistic too and misjudges very rarely, whilst still being agressive.
Yes, i'm aware of the Fact that i sound like a Fangirl. But seriously....how can you not like Ricciardo

*Max Verstappen wants to know your location*

[Conservator.]

Lol, your background made me start cleaning my screen.

Great Video as usual. I like how you're making videos about current event type stuff instead of talking about random stuff throughout the season

[chuyarts]

That overtake by Ricc was pure art, amazing comolex move with various factores involved, he has earned my respect

[ayushsrivastava]

Grt video. Gave a detailed explanation of the overtaking techniques. Keep it up.

[Inac]

That sonic music in the end tho. Love it!

Great video!

[hugobarraud]

My favourite racing channel. Sooo helpful for karting and league racing

[bulldogfilms]

This was fantastic and illuminating, but the sonic music at the end really sealed it for me
