Max Verstappen is on a dominant run having won the last six races. There are those who feel that he is having an easy time in the dominant Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology. Retired world champion Sebastian Vettel has come out in defence of Max "You have to give him credit, he is performing fantastic. He is incredibly talented and makes no mistakes" “As soon as you drive at the front because you are doing well, people are quick to say that it is boring and that you win 'easily.'" “But there is much more at play than just lap times. I'm sure Lewis Hamilton never had it easy during his dominant years, just as, for example, Michael Schumacher, Mika Häkkinen and myself never had it easy" “It is an incredible achievement to conceive and build a car that can beat the competition in every race weekend. The fact that Red Bull does well every weekend is due to perfection, consistency and the qualities of the team" "With this car, that chance [of them winning every race] is definitely there" “Reliability should never let the team down, no crazy things should happen and they have to survive all the first laps" “No team has ever managed to do it, although McLaren Racing was close in 1988. So anything is possible, but we can only wait and see" #SebastianVettel #SV05 #F1 #Formula1 #MaxVerstappen #MV01 #RedBull #RBRT #HondaRacing #CarRacing #2TimeChampion #Formula469

I would love to see Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology recreate this vintage Porsche AG ad. (I mocked up my take in the comments) A legendary season for Red Bull and Max Verstappen. Check out every record Max Verstappen broke in 2023: - Highest percentage of wins in a season - Most wins in a season - Most points in a season - Most consecutive wins - Most podiums in a season - Most laps led in a season - Highest percentage of laps led in a season - Most consecutive wins from pole - Most wins from pole in a season - Biggest points gap between 1st and 2nd in standings - Most consecutive races as championship leader - Most consecutive points scored - Most consecutive top two finishes - Most hat-tricks in a season - Most pitstops by the winning driver in one race - Only driver to win 3 times in 1 country 19 wins. 21 podiums. Over 1000 laps led. The most dominant season in Formula 1's history. -- Enjoy my content? I'm Vincenzo, and I talk innovation, marketing and content creation. Oh, and a lot of sports business.

As an automobile enthusiast and a Red Bull Racing fan, I was looking to do some analysis on Red Bull Racing's Formula 1 team. So, here is a quick analysis of the performance of the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 Team from 2007 to 2023. 🔎 Observations: ◾The initial success of the team was observed in 2009 with their car, the RB5, and the drivers, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. ◾A significant drop in the team's performance was observed in 2015 with their car RB11 and the drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat. ◾The team's performance appears to have been increasing since 2020, especially after the introduction of their cars, the RB16B in 2021, the RB18 in 2022, the RB19 in 2023, and their latest drivers, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. While the team is dominating F1 even in 2024 with their duo Verstappen and Perez and their latest car, the RB20, we will have to wait till the end of the season for the full performance of the team during the season.

Have you ever experienced the thrill of a NASCAR race? If not, it's an event that should be on everyone's bucket list. The sound of 40 800 horsepower machines racing at 150+ miles per hour is simply thunderous. The vibrating speed and smell of fuel make it a multi-sensory experience like no other. I've been lucky enough to attend around 10 races, but this time was unique as I got to capture some amazing content. Have you been to a NASCAR race before?

Ramadhan kareem! May peace be up on you all! Find below the constructors' championship standings after the two first races in the 2024 season! Here is a quick analysis for what we have seen so far : Red Bull Racing : They seem dominant at the moment, with Max Verstappen leading the drivers' championship and both Red Bull drivers (Verstappen and Perez) consistently finishing on the podium. Their strong showing aligns with their pre-season testing pace. Ferrari : Despite strong pre-season testing results, Ferrari seems a step behind Red Bull. They've secured the two podium finishes but haven't quite matched Red Bull's overall performance. Mercedes : currently sits in third, but with a much lower point total than expected. This suggests they might be struggling with their car's performance or haven't fully unlocked its potential. It's still early to predict the championship contenders, but Red Bull is certainly looking strong at this point. The next few races will be crucial in understanding how Ferrari and Mercedes can close the gap. Looking ahead : Australian Grand Prix starting from March 22nd, 2024!

My latest video for Front Office Sports:

FAMOUS FRONT ROWS, PART I. By Peter M. DeLorenzo Detroit. Front-row qualifiers at any major racing event are usually significant. They represent the quickest drivers at that particular moment in time, at a particular track. From the annals of F1, INDYCAR and Can-Am, to IMSA and beyond, front-row qualifiers are often memorable and help define - and capture - a specific era in motorsport. This week, I am going to begin our coverage with just a few of the races - and the legendary drivers - that spring to mind. There will be many more in the coming weeks. READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/efDexsp Reims-Gueux, France, July 4, 1954. Juan Manuel Fangio (No. 18 Mercedes-Benz 196R, pole), Karl Kling (No. 20 Mercedes-Benz 196R) and Alberto Ascari (No. 10 Maserati 250F) on the Front Row for the French Grand Prix. Fangio and Kling were so dominant in their "streamliner" versions of the Silver Arrows that day that they finished 1-2, a tenth of a second apart, after lapping the field. The Mercedes-Benz 196R "streamliners" were certainly some of the most beautiful racing cars ever built.

Formula 1 had a great weekend. Lando Norris won his first race ever. Max Verstapen came in second place. I wondered why (considering how dominate Verstappen has been recently), so I looked at the data. Norris' car handled better. He was getting into corners quicker especially in the twisty part of the track. This resulted in lap times that were a few milliseconds faster. In particular, Sector 1 which has a lot of turns. Verstappen was just as fast in a straight line (and even had higher top speeds in some areas), but he had a hard time turning the car. "It's a disaster!" was the radio comm to his pit crew. Data only gets you so far. At some point, you have to turn that data into decisions. Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology has some work to do to match McLaren Racing. McLaren has done a bunch of upgrades which were very effective. Over the next 3 or 4 races, we'll see if McLaren has indeed passed Red Bull or if this was just a lucky break. I dug a little deeper. Red Bull had a problem with the 'hard' set of tires. Red Bull was outperforming McLaren on the 'medium's, but now McLaren was faster. 0.100 seconds * 30 laps is 3 seconds. 100ms is the blink of an eye. That's all it takes - 100 milliseconds over 100 seconds of racing (a lap). 0.1%. If you can improve by just 0.1%, you can win. If you decline by 0.1%, you get left behind. That's the difference that McLaren made. And it made all the difference. Get just a little better every day. McLaren is a great example of this. Kudos to Zak Brown for the incredible results, and Norris for the great drive over the last 30 laps. #improve #f1
