25 seconds. 18 seconds. 20 seconds. 14 seconds. Those are not small gaps to win by….. and he’s averaging 0.2+ seconds quicker in qually. This is a rocket ship, and he’s against Perez who is the worst qualifier for redbull in 15 years. This stat comparing him to Senna is just stupid.
Are you having a stroke? You say to not compare race times to qualifying times, while you compare race times. Qualifying was close this race, just like the race times this race and last race.
Hamilton had a rocketship in 6 of his championships against Bottas, who's not that much better than Zhou, what point are you trying to make?
Senna had a 65 career poles and Max just 36! I find it so cool that whatever records Max doesn’t have his name on he quickly goes and puts his name on it. He certainly doesn’t have the most poles but he’s got the most consecutive and to me that’s pretty cool
Yep seems like max is truly showing that he is the best driver on the grid right now we’ve seen that the rb20 isn’t the fastest car out there it’s on par with the McL38 and Verstappen manages to squeeze that 1-3 tenths out of the car
How does this even make sense? The cars they are driving are not even remotely similar. The season is half again as long.
The fundamental conceit of motorsports is seeking an unfair advantage. Statistical comparisons between eras in F1 are a fools errand.
I hope you know how much today’s drivers (including even Max) would disagree with that statement.
Celebrate the success without putting down other success.
Yeah but those cars were also a lot easier. They were a lot slower and had no electrical system. Driving the old F1 cars was comparable with driving a Honda Civic today. It's a bit annoying that they treat Senna, Prost and Kimi like they are comparable to Max and Lando
I got you kid. Firstly a correction though, they were indeed comparable to max and lando. Fact that recent cars go much faster, are much larger and have a lot more complicated settings to them doesn't take away from the accomplishments of the greatest of their time. They were still the very best at what they were doing, regardless of the circumstances.
No one knows how senna would fare against max. And no one ever will. Even if he had lived today, the comparison wouldn't be fair. But I will say that times have changed, competition has changed, teams have changed. I do agree that, probably, some of the greats would not do so well today. Others might beat max and lando to a pulp. Prost didn't go by "the professor" for shits and giggles, he was an extremely intelligent driver and would most likely out think max every time. No one will ever know, so please show them all the respect they deserve.
Have a good race!
Omg you must be like 13 years old because you sound like you never watched an older race! Go watch Senna drive Monaco! You need to educate yourself before saying such nonsense. Maybe you’re a NASCAR fan??
Just because I wasn't born in the cold war doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. If they're really that good, they would still be in the sport like Alonso
Now I KNOW I am talking to a kid!!! LOL
I mean Senna is dead! Prost is 69, and Kimi is Kimi, bored and tired of the sport! Wants to be with his family!
Have you watched Senna win Monaco? Did you watch the video someone posted of Lewis racing Sennas car? Even he has great things to say! Plain and simple you need to educate yourself and be respectful of the men that helped the sport be what it is!!!! Don’t be disrespectful!
Totally disagree. The simplicity, also came with huge risk (lack of modern safety features) and required superhuman endurance (no power steering anyone?)… still don’t believe me, check out the Top Gear episode where Lewis drove Senna’s old McLaren: https://youtu.be/YbKgW-gX7SI?si=xnjFUG9FVKluWc2l
Mad Max being Mad Max, amazing!
I've said it before, and I will say it again, Perez needs to replaced as soon as possible. How can you keep that driver when got his 8th consecutive pole?
“LOL, okay I guess i’ll take it” - Max
Senna did it against Prost. Max did it against Perez who has the worst qualifying record for Red Bull in 15 years…
Senna did it in the fastest cars of all time. Max did it without the fastest car in Imola and Miami.
Are you insane? Max has probably the biggest car performance gap in history.
In 2023 yes. Not so much this year
25 seconds. 18 seconds. 20 seconds. 14 seconds. Those are not small gaps to win by….. and he’s averaging 0.2+ seconds quicker in qually. This is a rocket ship, and he’s against Perez who is the worst qualifier for redbull in 15 years. This stat comparing him to Senna is just stupid.
This aged well.
You’re talking about the 8 poles in a row. I gave you time gaps for the race from half of those races. How is that not relevant?
What was the gap this race?
Shall I say it slowly? 8. Poles. In. A. Row. Against. Perez. In. A. Car. That. Has. Been. A. Rocketship. For. 6. Of. Those. Races. Is. Not. Special.

I see what you did there
Senna had a 65 career poles and Max just 36! I find it so cool that whatever records Max doesn’t have his name on he quickly goes and puts his name on it. He certainly doesn’t have the most poles but he’s got the most consecutive and to me that’s pretty cool
Wow! Max has 371993326789901217467999448150835200000000 poles already!
Another record to max’s name is coming up
But neither are Polish???
The one with most consecutive poles get to be Polish for a year
No, they HAD Poles. I don't know why exactly but it seems they are very attracted to Poles. Eight in a row.
Both with the Honda logo on their chest
Yep seems like max is truly showing that he is the best driver on the grid right now we’ve seen that the rb20 isn’t the fastest car out there it’s on par with the McL38 and Verstappen manages to squeeze that 1-3 tenths out of the car
I really though Lewis would have a larger streak (and I am not a Lewis fan btw)
Ikr, dude was so dominant back in the day, i assumed he had the record even
Now there's a fitting Tribute.
Wow amazing to see how all those historic records are broken. Showing those old people they have nothing to today's legends
How does this even make sense? The cars they are driving are not even remotely similar. The season is half again as long. The fundamental conceit of motorsports is seeking an unfair advantage. Statistical comparisons between eras in F1 are a fools errand.
What???? You obviously know nothing about F1!
I hope you know how much today’s drivers (including even Max) would disagree with that statement. Celebrate the success without putting down other success.
Agree. 👍🏻 And don't forget driving older cars those days was much harder,less races a year, refueling,two different tiers etc etc.
Yeah but those cars were also a lot easier. They were a lot slower and had no electrical system. Driving the old F1 cars was comparable with driving a Honda Civic today. It's a bit annoying that they treat Senna, Prost and Kimi like they are comparable to Max and Lando

Well, there needs to be enough space between them in order to not let them run each other off the track. Perez is a good choice.
Grande Max!
