Since I watch F1, I have always looked at the best performances, because most of the time, these performances come with the driver's abilities, even though factors can change the outcome of these [...]*
I saw a lot of great performances with my own eyes, [...] but none of them had come closer to #MaxVerstappen's 2025 Japanese Weekend. For context, this was more than a year ago, round number 3 on the former F1 calendar. At the time, Verstappen came to Suzuka with an 8-point deficit to current world champion Lando Norris, but more importantly, with a car around 3 tenths slower in both quali and race than the former reference (McLaren).
On Saturday, Verstappen was the only one to "nail" his lap at the most crucial moment of the weekend (last Q3 run). "The final run was a bit better [...] it was knowing your limitations, adapting to it and making the best of it [...] it was very committed, no mistakes." (Max Verstappen in post-quali interview)
But the thing is, McLaren drivers set a "good" lap on the last run, which surely could have secured them pole. They tried to push a bit more in a certain way, but it ended up being worse than it should have been (all 3 sectors were not "nailed"). And this could be explained by the difference in "handling" between McLaren and Red Bull [...] (Lando Norris in post-quali interview).
In the race, Verstappen drove brilliantly to hold both McLarens behind, even though McLaren's strategy was questionable*, especially in a 2v1 situation where they have shown better performances later on the season (Hungary 2v1 against Leclerc)...
In my opinion, this weekend is most likely the best in terms of a driver's performance in these recent years (if not the best).

Thanks to @DeltaData_ without him, that would not have been possible. 🙏

It’s crazy, the way #Charles loose momentum in sector 3…
The #Redbull has a very good aero package not as good as the Ferrari though. Imagine how could the season had turned if Redbull had better energy side.

GHOST 👻 CAR!

See where the battle for pole between Charles and Max was won and lost ⚔️

#Bearman’s lighter rims are estimated to be worth 0.15–0.20s per lap on #Ocon

Even though everyone knew it, it still surprise me but idk why😭

[Holiness @F1BigData]

Mathematically, Oscar Piastri can no longer win the championship this year

[Sam Berge @codesamfrozen]

@DeltaData_ I like this! (Like always haha)

[Sam Berge @codesamfrozen]

Well... No #Ocon on the grid next year then? I really doubt to see him in #Cadillac for 2027

[Formula 1 @F1]

BREAKING: Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will both race with Aston Martin once again in 2027!

@TrackSimsF1 shows that after the 2nd sector, Leclerc was ahead of Hamilton by 0.014s; the tow difference grew to 0.5s at the line.

Hamilton didn't make any mistakes. The gap was 1.3s between Ferrari ADUO 2 (+ curfew break) and Mercedes, with no ADUO (and no curfew brake) today.

I saw earlier on, this photo in a post of @CL16_inside with the mention : "Just Charles Leclerc" and I wanted to give my opinion on Leclerc recents bias and himself in general. Because I find this photo representative of Leclerc himself […]
Leclerc is a fantastic driver, easily in the top 3 quickest driver on the grid. It’s not even a debate when you look at the overall performances since a decade now and even in the karting years […]
Leclerc flirts with the limit all the time, sometimes it works (Baku poles,Austria 2020, Monaco 2025,24, sakhir 2020 quali, Japanese weekend 2026 […])
But sometimes it doesn’t (Baku 2019, styria 2020, Monaco 26 quali, monza 26 […].
One possible explanation is that Leclerc sometimes tries to extract more from the car than it can realistically give, especially when Ferrari lacks the pace to fight at the front. (Monza 2026 is a great example)
I also Found a interesting quote of [Pino Allievi] that is on the other image, that’s could explain Leclerc recents "bad" performances.
