I was sitting at the bridge by the Esses today during qualifying. I was blown away at how fast they shot through there. They barely slow down from the straight before
that moment when all the senses in your body are telling you to slow down, but you keep stepping hard on the throttle and the car holds up. Although to be fair, all those f1 guys are probably passed that.
Peter Lustig It will be so close, that you won't see any difference. Vettel could have been on pole too, if it wasnt about a few thousandths of a second
i love how most drivers cheer really hard and start to sing (looking at you seb) when they get pole and bottas just lets out one big fat "YES" and returns to being the calm and collected guy he is. really cool dude
this is why i love this track, the race may be different enjoyment wise to quali but the fact this track has high speed and low speed corners with long to medium straights means that it doesn’t suit one car it suits multiple
Even with Ferraris advantage in sector 1. Bottas absolutely nailed the 2nd and the 3rd sector. Fantastic lap! Lets hope for good race and battle with the top3 teams tomorrow!
What adavantage is your fanboy brain hallucinating about? All top teams were pretty close in Sector 1. BS1 of Vettel, Verstappen and Hamilton is 24.6, Leclerc 24.5 and Bottas 24.7. Leclerc probably overheated the tires with his faster pace.
This is such a demanding and technical track, I love it! Must be so hard to string a perfect lap together. And on top of that, one of the few newer circuits that actually produce good racing. I hope F1 keeps coming here for a long time!
He's right though, this is the only session where Lewis finished behind Valterri, he screwed up both his laps in Q3 and admitted it was his worst qualifying in a long time. Lewis was quite a bit ahead in FP1, FP2, FP3, Q1 and Q2. Great lap from Valterri but don't pretend Lewis isn't much faster here.
Unpopular opinion: Valtteri has the drive to beat Lewis in the championship battle, but lacks in consistency. He performs so good at the times, even outperforms Lewis, but screws up often as well. Also Merc's love relationship with Lewis doesn't help either.
You don't have to be a lover or hater of the driver on this record... This was ART... When fractions of a second counts.. The view as exceptional as well.. You can see what most would consider 'sliding'... aka.. Managing the grip.. Those are simplified words, but these are by far the greatest road racing drivers you'll ever find.. They make NASCAR look like babies in go karts with a 3-5 hp lawn mower motor..
@@lolbots he deserves it becuase hes always letting hamilton by. thats why. and hes the one that can beat hamilton to the championship, not perez or gasly.
lolbot so Gasly, who couldn’t even beat Verstappen, can beat Hamilton ever so often, and match him on most tracks? And Perez, who got fucked by Ocon, would be able to suddenly outqualify the greatest ever qualifier, Hamilton? Bottas is in a different league compared to Gasly and Perez...
If he deserved it, then he should have got it in the same car as Lewis. Merc used team orders against him only once this year in Singapore. And they payed him back in Japan by giving shit strategy to Lewis. He's not consistent enough
A tennis player will celebrate like 20 times throughout a game when things get tough, and not celebrate at all if the match wasn't even close. It's only cringy if there was a huge performance gap. And btw, emotion is what we need in F1. we want drivers to duke it out. we want them to not settle. If you want it to be a polite, "after you sir" you should get out of here.
@@blackbee_v8 it does make it harder though which is what we want. I can win multiple races on 100+ Ai in a Season 1 Toro Rosso. It gets boring, so to have harder tracks because of Kerbs is good, it means you have to be more careful
I don't think Favian was mocking him just for being a Hamilton fan. He was mocking him because he's a brainless fanboy who got triggered by a harmless meme and felt the need to defend Hamilton.
Lewis will fight for the win and will easily catch title nr. 6 and you are happy about a meaningless pole. Bottas never had a chance for the title this season. Another weak performance.
Im not the only one looking for that apex marking and see how different drivers attack diff turns. Bottas has a unique route for turn 1. He always runs way wide
The speed through the Esses is just unreal
they dont need slowing really like the suzuka ones , even silverstone dont . only f1 game peoples do that . (joking but can be true for some :p)

Looked even more in insane in the grandstand today
Guess who's on pole
Valtteri: thank you guys.
No we really wanted you to guess. It's Lewis.
Marcell Hoóz hahahaha thought that it could have happened
Lol that's exactly what I thought! Would've been savage af xD

It would be funny “guess who's on pole... it's Vettel”
He can see the positions and he was the last car on a lap
A1tze r/woosh
I know it wont happen but I really want him to win the championship!
Never say never, Lewis is starting near Leclerc and Verstappen.
2020 maybe

He performs so good at the times, even outperforms Lewis, but screws up often as well. Also Merc's love relationship with Lewis doesn't help either.
Next year i hope, him or charles or max
If Bottas is 1st, Hamilton has to be at least 8th today to win the championship
The speed through the Esses can’t wait to see the cars there this year
Bottas voice Is just awesome
Always nice to see Bottas do well. Such a nice guy.
The best first sector I have ever seen.

Hol’ up
Wow iracing is that u
To whom it may concern...
'that prooves the doubters' then proceeds to disapear for most of the season. Then win at the last race when it's not important
Fuck You!
The grip that's available for him is mind blowing!!
Please F1! Use speedometer and the track map. Lap will look more interesting.

bravo Valtteri.
That sound coming from engine at 1.27 is amazing
First sector looks insane wish I could drive it

Damn he went HAM on corners 6, 7 and 19
I miss F1 in Sepang Malaysia 😞
Man!!!!!!! He drove the hell out that car.
Pole + win again this year
Hope he continues this form through to next season and be more consistent. This year is a lost cause.
For this qualys, we would need a comparison between Bottas, Vettel, Verstappen, Leclerc (0.1s gap between Bottas and Leclerc, it was very close)
