I feel like Aston Martin copied more of Alpine's approach.
@Chyeahokay Says:
Yeah ferrari sacrificed what made its 2022 car so good, for a bit more top speed. While redbull kept top speed and fixed the cornering/ acceleration out of corners
@Chickentorchic Says:
I lost complete respect for Aston Martin. Its the second time they almost hard copy a car.. First it was the Pink Merc (back in the day) not a Green RB. It's sad as a fan to know they cannot produce anything on their own, without stealing..
@sumitblogs15 Says:
drogovich should drive he did really well in testing and is a champion
@DjDmt Says:
How does Brown continue to keep his job.
@andyricardo4503 Says:
They were sand bagging last year to.
@richardpatton2502 Says:
Yeah…”overblown” and “glorious package” 😂
All the best to everyone
@Foxvalleyproduction Says:
McLaren might bump up Williams a couple places maybe. Alpa team looks good in testing, Alpine looking ok, Aston looks fast.
@Foxvalleyproduction Says:
McLaren is in trouble out of the gates.
@RaptorV1USA Says:
imagine Vettel comes in for one race (?) and WINS lol
Fookin' hell,................ that would break all of F1's Collective Brains at once .
@kdm6287 Says:
Great job
@BrotherJP333SP Says:
My question is what could/would Max do in a '22 or '23 Ferrari?
@jaysuneakle Says:
McLaren has a very good and promising driver pairing. I hope they can give them a good car before they start looking around.
It's sad to see the steady decline of McLaren and Williams... i want both of these teams to be successful again.
@sspacegghost Says:
McL cant make brakes, or wheel cake tins, or decent road cars anymore. Constantly chasing saudi dollars to plug up the terrible low speed designs and high drag means the McL executive needs to be removed... theyre ruining the legacy
@storkpatrick Says:
Appreciate the commitment to wearing the green shirt
@RyanSmith-hf7gc Says:
It's a long season, I think Mclaren can pull things back after a disappointing test
@tablet8321 Says:
Please no Vettel, he old and slow now, he ain't Fernando Alonso
@DekGT5mad Says:
The McLaren pitcrew uniform is terrible! They look like 6ft tall Oompa Lumpa's! 😂 😂 😂
@essign1755 Says:
So much hype about James Key....he's actually turning out to be a Paddy Lowe version 2.0
@albundy5992 Says:
Fingers crossed Aston can build on this hopefully accurate news and get some super podiums. And then go into 2024 as a real contender. Let the Alonso years come back!
@rolandotillit2867 Says:
I have Red Bull fastest, and Ferrari and Mercedes less than 2 tenths off the pace. Aston Martin within half a second, Alpine slightly slower, then everyone else bunched up. At least from what I could see in testing. The season is going to be dictated by who can get the updates on the car most effectively, making this a logistical racing championship as much as an on-track racing championship. Red Bull needs to start with the fastest car, because the restrictions placed on them means they won't likely be able to finish with the fastest car.
@watermelonsugar7861 Says:
omg cant wait to see the episode with brrrakef1
@hornetguy9063 Says:
Wonder if Piastri is going to regret his moves
@giorgospapadopoulos7709 Says:
I hate to say that Aston Martin would love to find a spare that is not going to be irretatively fast.
@darkjudge8786 Says:
Maybe McLaren should have made a car for Ricciardo rather than Lando. I was shocked they had a good couple of seasons given the invompetitent spiv Zak Brown was in charge. Glad they are a disaster
@Chris-rf6xj Says:
Great content 👌👍
@flyingomelettes Says:
All I know is that after testing last year sentiment of commentators was the order for the first race
red bull
ferrari
mercedes
mclaren
alpine
aston martin
alpha tauri
alfa romeo
haas
williams
and the actual order of first race was
ferrari
red bull
mercedes
haas
alfa romeo
alpine
alpha tauri
aston/mclaren/williams all shit
some weak correlation but certainly will be some surprises this year
@davel101 Says:
If any driver had fallen off a bike pre-season, they would have been fired. Lucky if your Dad owns the team. The risk for Aston is if stand-in does a couple of races and finishes close to Alonso, that'll put a lot of attention on Stroll to get close to the stand-ins time, but again, it will not matter
@mattt525 Says:
Just 5 days 22 hours to go!
@mugshotmarley Says:
RB in testing reminds of the Mercs prior to the new regulation cars from 2022 for the past decade.
@getubelogin Says:
I think Mclaren is running out of time to kerp Lando, he wants to win and soon!
@Tesla_Copilot Says:
My question is, why does everyone say Ferrari is not there but Apline is going to be fighting for best of the rest? I mean, how can one not performing to where we expect then completely ignore that for another.
@romero1337 Says:
Still cant understand how Mclaren can drop the ball so hard on development of their new car...
@privatesecurityafrica4129 Says:
New tech trends... That's cool!!!!
@thisissanjay3935 Says:
I am first and i have a bad feeling that Aston won't be that competitive 🙁
