Formula 1 is the fastest growing sport in the world. Fans from all around the world watch the fastest cars in the world fight each other neck and neck in a 22-race championship. Or, at least that’s what it’s supposed to be. In reality, the last two years have been dominated by one team; Red Bull who’s dominance is breaking almost every record in the sport. So how do they do it? And is it a problem for Formula 1’s business?

👋This is just our first of many F1 videos to come. Couple things I should clarify:

1. Mercedes did indeed win the “Constructors (or team) championship” in 2021, Red Bull won the “drivers championship”. I should’ve clarified the difference between the two. (TY to those that pointed that out)

2. While Red Bull is winning everything on the track, they are doing their very best to lose Off the track 👉 https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1765745906194759743?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

  1. It's ignorant to say Red Bull is breaking, as it's just one driver that is so much in the lead, the other Red Bull driver was constantly fighting others in the field and in the scenes… So this is simply ignorant.

  2. Just because there’s no real competition for first place doesn’t make it boring.

    There’s always been tons of excellent racing going on farther back in the back and now it’s finally actually being seen by people because of Max Verstappen and Red Bulls dominance.

  3. I would say another issue with F1 is the DRS system. Yes there have been more overtakes, but the big problem is it almost always uses the DRS system in straightaways, possibly the most boring way to overtake. You want close pit stop races and risky passes on corners. I will also say the point system is pretty broken too. Only the top 10 get points. So if youre 11th or 20th, you get no points. I feel you should get 1 point for 15th with how the cars are

  4. Max just a hardcore racer. This man was racing in a sim at 4 am on RACE DAY. This dude has an actual IRL F1 race on the same day and the madlad is playing on Sim racing at 4 am in the night! No other driver on the grid has this level of dedication and love for racing!

  5. Mercedes totally dominated from 2014 to 2020. Seven years were they were first and second almost every single year. Now it is Redbull dominating. It's unfortunately the way F1 works.
