Just a correction, 43:00. F1 London 2017 had all the F1 drivers bar 1. Lewis skipped the event with the line “I’ve done more for F1 than anyone else and don’t need to attend events like London 2017.”
LOL, Tom looks like he just woke up….
Peolpe don't give him credit at all as at his first attempt(while competing all year for the title), he scored the maximum podiums record which the previous drivers despite 8 years Merc run couldn't do considering the fact that for a podium you have to just finish top 3 only.
Then at his second attempt in an all year fast car, he scored the most wins in a year set in 2004(tied in 2013) which again couldn't be beaten in 7 attempts(2014-2021).
Now in his third year ,he beat the record for the most consecutive race wins which was set in 2013 and couldn't be beaten in all these years despite multiple opportunities and now he's going for the Maximum race wins, Maximum podiums in a season(set in 2021) , Most laps led in a season( 2013) , Most championship points , Biggest gap to P2 , etc.
If we talk about records then no driver in history has thrashed the field with such amount of violence and in such a short period of time as we did not see this level from Lewis in his 8 years at Mercedes.
He went from Karting – 2013 to F1 – 2015,that is absolutely nuts
The Dutch fans cheering and applauding Gasly and Alonso when interviewed before the podium ceremony was something English fans can take note of…
The Dutch … true fans of the sport, all I can say.
Yes
Gideo trying to wind up a few Lewis fans by saying he didn’t have the quickest car in 21…. Which is true
Lewis got his win-streak by pushing the peddle down on the straights. Even Bottas could do that so he took second place.
Max is getting his win-streak by cornering the car as the car is designed. Perez can’t do that.
That’s why the win-streak of Max isn’t just longer, it’s far more impressive.
Tire management, consistency, bla bla bla, all those Max and Lewis both have. When it comes to cornering though Max is superior. And tactics, Max takes the piss and pits for the fastest lap when his team doesn’t want him to.
Lewis blames the team when their orders aren’t optimal. He’s not a leader and the world is watching it.
Max is in legendary territory. Schumi comes close, he never lost to teammates either. Lewis lost to three out of his last four teammates and that’s the best the current grid has to offer…
It's all staged for Max and Redbull to take over if you ask me, plus it is a movie they are playing to you the tittle is the GREAT WHITE MAX… Alonso is also playing an important part! why these guys you asking? they have the right attitude towards one guy and you know who it is… just look at how they handled the issues in the last previous years ! Redbull is a cheating team and they make sure Max shines by pairing him with a so lame teammate where he has absolutely no pressure whatsoever all for him to break all the records that is held by the best ever! lol, you can twist regulations like you did with history but we all know who is who
"Content creators" without a content who do not add much to our understanding of F1 related subjects
Ofc, it is underestimated. Sky sports presenters move past a Max win post race in less than 2 mins. If Hamilton had equaled a tough record like 9 in a row, they would have spent at least 20 mins praising him and his driving.
It is, i said it before.. People's ignorance are insane. But Max driving speaks for itself.
It's so hypocritical and petty of Hamilton now to be inciting that RB19 plays the bigger role in Max's domination. There seem to be no end to Hamilton's cheap shots and unclassy nature.
I think with the car he has he's built up a consistency that other drivers will find hard to match until they are in a similar situation. It's a combination of great car and great driver.
Has any other driver in the history of F1 been given such a car or the level of team support & favouritism that Max has? The only other driver I can think of is Schumacher. Jean Todt often stated that given the option, they'd only race with one driver in the Schumacher era. Put ANY other driver off the grid into Max's seat and they'd win races, the car is THAT dominant.
No, overrated
About time we have a English guy thats not bias against Max .
Tom is so much better without Matt 👍👍
2:17 ketchup
When a car is 1s faster it's just a shame.
What Alonso is doing is just more impresive than what Verstappen is doing😂
Q: Is verstappen's success underestimated? A: Only in lululand
What a cool memory for that dude to have been present at Max Verstappen's first ever go karting session!
Lets put max in the Alpha Tauri to make it interesting. Him winning every race in the most dominant car ever too be seen in F1 is more down to luck thsn ability.
As much as I love our Max, I dont think he is bigger then Cruijff (football is and always will be bigger), but he is the Cruijff of this generation for sure. Which is something the country really needed, it may sound weird but in a time where everything is political devisive and the country being pretty torn; just like a Cruijff, van Basten, Gullit, Bergkamp etc etc; he is a unifying force.
No..Max is great no doubt..May even become the greatest but its disrespectful for all the media to wax lyrical about how he's the GOAT with Lewis still sat there and not finished on the grid!
No actually fishfacemax' success is OVERESTIMATED considering he has a superior car by far over the rest including his teammate who drives red bull RB19-B not RB19-A like max does.
Giedo jonguh wat een steenkolen Engels…
SKYP1 WITH TOMMY AND FANS
NO Vertappen and clan and MAXbull are over estimates
It took 9 consecutive wins sky to praise a driver other than hamilton 😂
Itd be even more impressive if he won with class.
I believe all Max's achievements could be being down played because of the FAKE championship given in 2021 (FIA mistake / human error) although not max's fault it will always be questioned can he actually win if not given the ability to cheat. The 2nd championship was a TRUE result of the cost cap breach and the huge advantage RBR was allowed to gain and keep from breaching the coast cap to make their car much better than the rest… It's showing the appearance, that MAX can ONLY win with a major advantage over the rest… Max himself has said he doesn't want any competition not even from his team mates as it's to much stress and he's still recovering from 2021 where he DID NOT WIN but was gifted the race by the FIA mistake… Is he talented SURE but the best NO….
Consider this: If there was a race between 3x drivers all in RB19 between Alonso, Hamilton and max who would win??? I believe Max would loose every time and I think so does Max & RBR
Underestimated by crybaby mercedes fans only 😂
Nope !!!! Hands
All im hearing here is the changing of the guard
Thay coulfnt beat lewis fairly
So thay stolr it from him
So keep talking to justify
But it font mean jack
🤨wake up
An speak the truth
Holdup a second Giedo, Johan is definitely still bigger than Max. Like no question
Tom! So good to see him there.
alright did matt hack the sky sport channel to get tom in the video 🤣great to see the lads on the big stage
the tommy thumbnail sold me
So you get promoted if you say max is the best?! Lame

Recap by Tammy AI
If his team wasnt cheating then it would be special unfortunatley
Selling Max Verstappen to the world😂
It's extremely underestimated! Because Checo is nearly 200 points behind! Yes the RBR car is amazing, but Max is getting the Max out of it! A driver's ability should always be compared with his team mate.
Just look at Hamilton and Bottas… their gap was around 100 points each season, significantly less for Hamilton and Rosberg or Vettel with Webber.
Checo have won 5 races in the last 3 years in the same Red Bull… whilst Max have won 38 races. So yes, Max's success definitely underestimated, as RBR wouldn't be winning championships without him, he makes the RBR car look like it's unbeatable.
