Fake hype the racing will not be exciting unless you can call the same ol same old top four teams big money equals top teams. For me if any one from mid pack could win a race that would be a proper change not what will be seeing though the usual media propaganda
Max with a car anywhere near the front has to be the favourite as he is head and shoulders better than ALL the rest.
pff Andrew Newey, Andrew Newey… since 2006 he was at Red Bull… so he was also there at the dominance of the Mercs?? No success there then?
He didn't design that much of the actual Max era car and floor. He spent most of his research time on the suspension. In fact he was one of the only people to work on the suspension in Red Bull so that he could prevent porpoising. Guess where the problem was since.. locking suspension on the curbs… stop overhyping the "other" British guy.
What w waste of time this was …
So he started off by prepping the audience by saying a lot of people are Lewis is Finnished like that’s not been the medias chant since 2021 and then he goes on to prep his retirement and questioning if he can win for an 8th time when he already did and was robbed and hasn’t had a competitive car since but your not slick this isn’t public sentiment it’s media manufactured manipulation it’s programming and you can tell because you all repeat the same phrases in the same way at every opportunity for years now and I can’t wait to watch you beat your words wheat are you going to say when he goes on a run with Ferrari in his 40s I hope you like the taste of feet
''We all want to see Ferrari at the front''. No we f*cking don't. We want to see the best team at the front. This isn't football. You don't pick a team and support them for life. Sick of this constant Ferrari bias.
Funny he makes all kind of predictions which is basically impossible to make after just a few training sessions.
just yall wait, Redbull gonna shut yall up
Love JB’s insights and wisdom. More JB on Apple F1 commentary!
You never let me down Jensen.
Can sky just stop using useless women commentators in men's sports.
Ferrari seem to ave fallen behind,given they've ah exceptional driver in Chartes away from Lewis whom really at the End of ah Driver whom archive at ah young age of F1 career,with two different Manufacturers.
Max is the really tru driver of the Red bull whom really the feared Driver and Manufacturers whom will compete to retain their Crowns cometh of what should ah Thrilling F1 Charge Car Season…..🤫
Can't wait for the season to start and the hopeium is gone and we're back to crying sabatoge
People seem to forget Lewis has a win for Ferrari even if it was a sprint race its still a win 🎉
English guy picks 2 English guys? Color me absolutely shocked 😂
Canada 2011 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Imagine hating and not appreciating one of the greatest driving talents the world has ever seen just because he’s not from your own country. So fkn embarrassing
Hamilton not happay again
He’s talking about the big teams….Mercedes and McLaren….how about Ferrari, Red Bull ?
Where is my money gone, Jensen?
Thanks guys
Fernando is 44 for now…
What a super nice guy. I would love to see / hear Jenson on Dutch television. He is a real professional. Between the lines he admissie Max is the best driver in F1. This is nothing new. You only need a competitive and reliable car. Please not the best car, as the F1 season will be boring again.
MAKE TESTING SLOPPY
OK stop. Geriatric Alonso is not up there with the best. His teammate is so bad it's easy to look good.
lewis will retire after 2026 because loosing lecrerc again
"All about a washed up driver, "SHOW 🦄 PONY"….Hamilton
Can't imagine what it feels like to have the ambassador of the team (owned by your dad, no less) omit your name completely and touting only Alonso as the lead guy.
No way that one of the seniors will pick up this new car…….
Jason who ?
Thought he had a deal with Williams?
Jenson wants everyone to do well and think everyone can do well. Great chat, but nothing said. 0 predictions made lol.
14:00 non-corporate Jensen would definitely rate the Haas the most, it's such a clean livery like his old Honda
Legend love button
He still has his fashion empire.
I was gutted when Honda left in 2008, i wanted to see Jenson win in a Honda
So the Sky + Lewis Vuitton jerk begins.
I believe Aston and the Bulls will be the biggest disappointment and most of the season we talk about Verstappen and Mercedes.
2:01 67
3:55 Jensen is the british Sonny Hayes?
As an older person I would love to see Lewis Hamilton fighting Fernando Alonso for a World championship
Yeah right, he should have retired, now its gonna be humiliating.
As a Brit I can safely say that I still hate Verstappen
How is George the favourite 💁♂️
Cars adding and losing 500hp? Is it just me or does it all seem a bit contrived.
So what’s next the higher up the grid you get the less Horse Power you can have. THE SPORT IS TOO MANIPULATED NOW SORRY!
2009 for me was the best season for Formula 1, Jenson and Braun GP was something magical, the Monaco Grand Prix had me on the edge of my seat. Jenson, in my opinion was Britain's best World Champion. Him and his Dad was a true dream come true story, brilliant.
What was this?
