@Daniel Bausch he finished 40 seconds ahead of his team mate and was fighting with the renaults which should be a second a lap faster than him and btw imagine liking your own comment
@@mightymoto453 The 11th overtake was on 2nd lap, but all 11 overtakes were still within 1 single lap. After the start he dropped to 17th on the main straight and the first overtake was when he gained it back on turn 2.
I may be the minority, but I thought this was one of the most boring races to watch this season. When 90% of the field gets lapped and there are 30 secs separating drivers, makes for a boring session to watch. Portimao looks amazing to drive though.
@@AutumnKitty1 I rather not justify a small segment of the field being competitive. I want to see the *whole* field compete. Why I say the new regs can't come soon enough and even then it's not guaranteed sadly.
@@junkiexl86 It had many on track battles and overatkes, what about it was boring? You are in the minority because your opinion is factualy wrong and bad, maybe pay atention to the race.
Apart from Hamilton winning and the usual top 3 Lets appreciate kimis efforts overtaking 10 cars in one lap means that age is just a number and Kimi is the one we remember from his championship days
Relax buddy, everyone has energy for the first lap, Kimi is at an age where he no longer has the capabilities to keep going at max pace from start to finish.
Hahaha straight facts! Even Gasly did better. To be fair Gasly didn’t do that bad. And he got the car before the second half of the season... aka when it was “bad” and unstable. Alex got it when it was better, more developed and was a lot easier to drive
@@the_qing after today Alex Albon will probably have to win at Imola to strengthen his chances of staying at RB. That win probably won't happen but right now almost certainly he will lose his F1 seat
That moment Sainz was passing the Mercedes and leading it felt like a breeze of something new to come. A F1 where one team isn't dominating for years, where you never know what is going to happen, where everyone can win. I almost felt that.
@Zombie Head not true. Age is a big limitator. You're obviously not old enough to find that out. People who win despite their age are either very lucky with their genetics (healthy above average), plus extremely motivated (because motivation also drops with age). Another limiting factor is becoming a parent. It has been proven that having children slows down racing drivers. Vettel is a phenomenon, because he was extremely fast while having 2 small children. Only his 3rd child managed to slow him down to his current low-level performance.
This season's track list has already unlocked the question mark about what makes interesting race. Eleveation changes is a key for more attractive racing, not just a boring flat straight Tilke's circuit design. I would agree if portugese gp would be held next season or more.
This track was sooo boring with the cars relying on DRS. So many overtakes took place on the main straight. I would love this track for other racing series but for f1, im not a big fan.
If they switch up the circuits every season f1 will be a way better live watch, the sport needs more unpredictability at the moment and this is definitely one way to add it! What a race
The sport needs competition. When a sport is purely driven by money, many talents gets squashed.. like Russell and many before then, yet Stroll and Latifi pay their way to have a fun ride.
@@carlitoxb110 We are talking about wheel to wheel racing, not about the start in this race. Kimi always leaves space and never pushes other drivers wide I have seen Sainz do those things
At Portugal, everyone was moving like a roller coaster at this track. Very cool to see them race here, seems like a track that's challenging for the drivers and entertaining for the fans. Hopefully, this isn't a one off 🙏
unfortunately i think it is! Although it was really nice after all this years, Portugal doesnt have that big of a budget... not even for Moto GP and we have Miguel Oliveira... but its a country that prefers football... i wish there is more F1 races the next years. it was super fun
The start was just brilliant. It had it all. Kimi schooling the midfield, almost everyone locking up, Hamilton making a MISTAKE(lockup), Bottas passing Max and Lewis with some aggressive moves, Sainz charging thru the Mercs, all the great wheel-to-wheel action, and Albon being Albon. 10/10
@@estebanquito356 Indeed Max being very aggressive in the first 2 laps. You can actually see Kimi passing him for a short moment. But he pushes / forces Kimi wide off the track at the corner to maintain the 5th place.

At least nowadays in F1 it isn’t much of spoiler even you hear the results because the winner always the same due to great reliability in F1 and no rule changes since 2014. The days are gone when a spoiler really would make you angry.
@@ahmedhajder6725 Its called mind games. Sometimes you need smart thinking to trick your rivals or team mate in a confusing mode. It worked! Ham blast past Bottas and rest is history! If you look at the lap times Bottas tires wasnt gone just got checkmated by pure lovely mind games through Lewis
at this point pretty much everybody knows the meaning...lost it's level of surprise in 2016 hahaha...he's somehow trying to convince everybody how hard it was to win all these championships these last years :D
@@SeanSmith88 mind games? the intention is clear but the comment was about how it shouldn't be considered as such after going for that playbook for the 47th time in a couple of years ;)
This was the stereotypical F1 weekend: -Bottas looks faster all weekend -Hamilton pole -Bottas takes the lead -Hamilton puts him under pressure -Bottas’ tyres fall off and Hamilton takes the lead -Get in there Lewis -HAM - BOT - VER.
I know Stroll was at fault there, but that was a much more reasonable move than what most people say. Towards the end when Gasly was trying to overtake (perez i think?) Perez agressively cut in front of him. Stroll was probably anticipating a same move, but conpletely overshot the corner.
I understand Stroll should have let more space but he is in front of Norris. Why give Stroll 5 seconds, I mean, Albon-Hamilton in Brazil is kind of the same but the guy inside-behind (Ham) was the one penalised. Same with Verstappen-Ocon in Brazil 2018, the one inside-behind was penalised, same with Ham-Albon again in Austria (the one inside a bit backward, Ham, penalised). Today they judge completely differently! I mean, for the penalties to Ham and Ocon, they could also have judged Albon and Verstappen should have let more space and be the ones penalised then...
The start was just brilliant. It had it all. Kimi schooling the midfield, almost everyone locking up, Hamilton making a MISTAKE(lockup), Bottas passing Max and Lewis with some aggressive moves, Sainz charging thru the Mercs, all the great wheel-to-wheel action, and Albon being Albon. 10/10 agreed!
Not gonna lie, the first few rounds were interesting before everything normalized itself. Gasly, Sainz and Perez fight was really awesome. And congrats for p4 Leclerc. Would have been interesting if Ocon could have driven without tyre changes
Ocon said it in interview, "the team had to stop me at one point, but I think I could have done the race on one set of tyre" They have to stop at least once per race.
@@thevinceberry same way when 2019 when max finished 3rd, gasly finished 10th, 11th, 13th, DNF. It is the same thing. Albon and Gasly are brilliant drivers and they both need better treatment that what redbull gives them
We must have watched a different race then. I was bored to tears after the first few laps. I mean 90% of the field was lapped with some 30 secs between the drivers. What excitement? Portimao looks fun to drive though.
@@AutumnKitty1 The point is it shouldn't be a small segment of the field competing against each other. It should be the entire field. The new regs can't come soon enough and even then it's not guaranteed.
Dang! Can we just appreciate the effort they took to edit that picture-by-picture timelapse of Lewis' wins? That's phenomenal! Give those editors a raise!
This circuit more than delivered. Not only was it a spectacle to watch these cars fly over the crests in qualifying, but there was plenty of overtaking and a couple of great extended battles throughout the race - Sainz vs. Raikkonen, Perez vs. Ocon and Gasly vs. Perez, for example. Track limits need a review, perhaps shorten the DRS zone on the main straight slightly and add a DRS zone from turns 4 to 5 and this track becomes one of the best available to F1 if you ask me!
Race actually interesting for once. Gotta love kimi start that man's still a boss. That graphic they put on the end when Lewis cross the line on this is so cool we'll done f1 channel
Meh, F1 is pretty lame. I just stick to watching the highlights. I think people are more interested in the Drama that surrounds F1, than the actual on track product itself.
To whom it may concern, we need races at Mugello, Portimao and Nurburgring. 1 season alone has been more interesting than Pual Ricard, Sochi and Abu Dhabi...
I mean it’s their fault did you notice that every race he has done well since he has joined the team he had when Max had a DNF because for a once they didn’t use him just for tire data to find out what to give max
@@mralireza931 yep he is just going at 1% speed once he gives it his all he will lap the field twice in 2019 Williams Ok I am gonna be serious all I am saying is that he is not as bad as he looks right now and that Red bull really should try to help there second drivers more and not give up on them after the first few laps
Wow. This track is amazing. Has a lot of room which helps keeping cars out of the walls and safe. Love the ups and downs and wide track. So many wheel to wheel moments. It just needs one more DRS zone and more even cars. What a showcase for F1. Please keep this track in the calendar!
@@darockk If we had a second Drs zone in the second straight, the car overtaked would have a chance to re-overtake. It would also provide more wheel to wheel battles from turn 1 to turn 8, for instance. At the end, the race would be even more exciting!!!
I agree with Fabio. I'm not a big fan of the DRS but with tracks like Portimao where it seems the turns dictates the race pace amd your position, having two DRS zones might not be bad.
There's a very safe place to overtake, so it's not worth risking overtaking somewhere else, and this makes it actually quite boring, you're going to see 95% of the overtakes at exactly the same spot for all cars and all laps.
I wonder how he would have done if not hit by VER. He could have been way up there at the beginning when the two Mercedes were struggling. I think he had enough pace today to beat Leclerc to 4th, easily. We'll never know. Stroll, OTOH...
I feel bad for Sainz. 😞 Earlier in the race, he was leading ahead of the Mercs before getting overtaken. And now, he is lapped by Lewis. This is how the tables turn in F1. But great result by finishing P6. 👏
The soft tires were a double edged sword today. They were able to heat up before the mediums, allowing sainz and Norris to push up & steal the lead before the mercs were able to heat theirs up. But they also fell off pretty quickly and the Mclarens were sitting ducks for the cars with medium tyres later in the race.
This track is amazing for the current f1 cars, they can battle side-by-side all the way to the double right-hander in sector 2 (maybe end of s1? Not sure where it is on the track) without losing a lot of time at all. Absolutely amazing
I enjoyed the race, even if it was the same old outcome we've had for the most part for the past several years. Merc 1-2, with Hamilton winning by a mile. That's getting old but the Portuguese circuit provided many more exciting moments than a lot of other circuits on the calendar. Coincidence that it's not a Tilke designed circuit? I think not.
@@fashionlife5348 I liked watching him in 2017-2018 when the Ferrari’s were close but it’s getting ridiculous now. We need at least another team to challenge them. For the sake of the sport let’s hope that the 2022 regs make it interesting.
it really reminded me of an F2 start. Even without rain they're very chaotic because of lower downforce and drivers struggling to get heat into the tyres. The restarts in Barcelona for example, glorious stuff
I disagree.... this is just a wannabe track and the racing in Catalunya is better, it's a nicer track, more intersting corners and the overtaking is too easy here.
@@Firemarioflower if you said this to a driver they would laugh at your face, even the drivers were amazed by the track and you come here saying that..
Oh yes. It was so much fun to watch Kimi in this race. I wish F1 would release onboard video of full race after each race. Like from 3 random drivers would be awesome.
The elevation changes are amazing. Looks like so much fun, i would love to see Portimao as a regular venue. And i would love to drive there in the F1 2021 Codemasters game if it stays on the calendar. You are still allowed to dream right?
Never been a big fan of Lewis, but I respect him. 92 victories is... incredible to say the least, never thought it would be broken. Congratulations to him.
@@rbad2174 yes... exactly mate...with tracks like these, it will much exciting to watch...they should take out Spain too...that one was a snooze fest for me

@@ahmedhajder6725 Its called mind games. Sometimes you need smart thinking to trick your rivals or team mate in a confusing mode. It worked! Ham blast past Bottas and rest is history! If you look at the lap times Bottas tires wasnt gone just got checkmated by pure lovely mind games through Lewis
at this point pretty much everybody knows the meaning...lost it's level of surprise in 2016 hahaha...he's somehow trying to convince everybody how hard it was to win all these championships these last years :D
@@SeanSmith88 mind games? the intention is clear but the comment was about how it shouldn't be considered as such after going for that playbook for the 47th time in a couple of years ;)
Very true , they use code words !!
This was the stereotypical F1 weekend:
-Bottas looks faster all weekend
-Hamilton pole
-Bottas takes the lead
-Hamilton puts him under pressure
-Bottas’ tyres fall off and Hamilton takes the lead
-Get in there Lewis
-HAM - BOT - VER.
You forgot Verstappen hits someone and mess that’s driver race up and didn’t get a penalty.
@@juegotopiagaming that definitely wasnt his fault
Tires fall off 😭😭😭
Nice job stealing that from reddit
But the weird thing is that, despite all that, it was still one of the most entertaining races of the season
Norris: im moving up and down side to side like a roller coas...
Stroll: no this time no
I know Stroll was at fault there, but that was a much more reasonable move than what most people say. Towards the end when Gasly was trying to overtake (perez i think?) Perez agressively cut in front of him. Stroll was probably anticipating a same move, but conpletely overshot the corner.
Stroll did same mistake he did with max?
@@mrjdmtunerboy.1463 No... In free practice that was entirely Max's fault. This race though this was Stroll's fault sadly
I understand Stroll should have let more space but he is in front of Norris. Why give Stroll 5 seconds, I mean, Albon-Hamilton in Brazil is kind of the same but the guy inside-behind (Ham) was the one penalised. Same with Verstappen-Ocon in Brazil 2018, the one inside-behind was penalised, same with Ham-Albon again in Austria (the one inside a bit backward, Ham, penalised). Today they judge completely differently! I mean, for the penalties to Ham and Ocon, they could also have judged Albon and Verstappen should have let more space and be the ones penalised then...
I imagine Stroll saying something like a anime villian.
From P20 to P5 even after collision, wow Perez is a beast.
Yes he is!
Checo deserves the RB second seat fr
It is ludicrous that he hasn't got a drive for next season! SP is such an underestimated driver!
Makes me wonder why they were trying to get rid of him to begin with 🤔
and without a safety car😁🤩
The start was just brilliant. It had it all. Kimi schooling the midfield, almost everyone locking up, Hamilton making a MISTAKE(lockup), Bottas passing Max and Lewis with some aggressive moves, Sainz charging thru the Mercs, all the great wheel-to-wheel action, and Albon being Albon. 10/10 agreed!
Not gonna lie, the first few rounds were interesting before everything normalized itself. Gasly, Sainz and Perez fight was really awesome. And congrats for p4 Leclerc. Would have been interesting if Ocon could have driven without tyre changes
Ocon said it in interview, "the team had to stop me at one point, but I think I could have done the race on one set of tyre" They have to stop at least once per race.
@@itano07 "they have to stop at least once per race"
Is that mandatory rule or just for the sake of safety?

Pierre Gasly- Giving RBR the finger since 2019
Exactly, how can Albon be at 12th when Max is 3rd. Sure Max has newer parts but Albon is slow as Haas
ya middle one.
@@thevinceberry same way when 2019 when max finished 3rd, gasly finished 10th, 11th, 13th, DNF. It is the same thing. Albon and Gasly are brilliant drivers and they both need better treatment that what redbull gives them
For me this guy is the driver of the day
Long one
Love this track. Some of the overtaking and wheel to wheel action was superb today. Action everywhere. Portugal gets thumbs up by me.
I wouldn't mind at all if It replaces the Spanish GP on the calendar
So much better than Spain
We must have watched a different race then. I was bored to tears after the first few laps. I mean 90% of the field was lapped with some 30 secs between the drivers. What excitement? Portimao looks fun to drive though.
@@junkiexl86 If you are watching F1 for the front runners, you are watching the wrong sport, unfortunately.
@@AutumnKitty1 The point is it shouldn't be a small segment of the field competing against each other. It should be the entire field. The new regs can't come soon enough and even then it's not guaranteed.
Dang! Can we just appreciate the effort they took to edit that picture-by-picture timelapse of Lewis' wins? That's phenomenal! Give those editors a raise!
CAME HERE TO COMMENT THIS! So well done.
YES!That was very well done
Yh was pretty sick
This circuit more than delivered. Not only was it a spectacle to watch these cars fly over the crests in qualifying, but there was plenty of overtaking and a couple of great extended battles throughout the race - Sainz vs. Raikkonen, Perez vs. Ocon and Gasly vs. Perez, for example. Track limits need a review, perhaps shorten the DRS zone on the main straight slightly and add a DRS zone from turns 4 to 5 and this track becomes one of the best available to F1 if you ask me!
The 2nd straight is too short I'm afraid. Still, should try. Maybe in testing after the season
Although this could lead to fatal accident, lead this track will be closed for fixing
you predicted right! they actually did.
They actually did dude
Race actually interesting for once. Gotta love kimi start that man's still a boss.
That graphic they put on the end when Lewis cross the line on this is so cool we'll done f1 channel
Brilliant!!!,
Albon started P6 but fell back, got lapped by his teammate, and finished the race behind an Alfa Romeo. Something is gonna give sooner or later.
he's gone
Its exactly like gasly
Red bull will make what's called a pro Gasly move
at least after he got lapped he had the same pace as max and didn't fall behind. it was just to late
@@independentgaming3849 with new softs and old mediums of verstappen's car
Circuits like this might actually get me back watching the races live.
kinda overhyped, everytime someone is in DRS distance, he overtakes
i gotta tell you. It was super fun to watch, but it was also my first F1 Grand Prix so i dont know.
@@another_fan717 in the last few years our only blessing was either rain or multiple red flags.

Meh, F1 is pretty lame. I just stick to watching the highlights. I think people are more interested in the Drama that surrounds F1, than the actual on track product itself.
Amazing race there...
1st 6 laps brilliant
Keep this track on the calendar
Im really impressed how Pierre gasly is doing this season he always finish inside the top 10
*sad albon noises*
And kvyat finishing last 😬

get him out of the redbull system
Everyone: overtaking is very difficult in F1

u prolly mean drs in general

@@ducojolo6879 oof indeed 😂
@@ohokay712 my man couldn’t overtake an Alfa Romeo
To whom it may concern, we need races at Mugello, Portimao and Nurburgring. 1 season alone has been more interesting than Pual Ricard, Sochi and Abu Dhabi...
Wait for Imola
And Istanbul
And the crazy Bahrain circuit
Paul Ricard without the chichanes would be far more interesting.
Should race at Bathurst...Aussie here.
This is a really nice track. Lots of passing during the race.
More than Raikkonen's start, his defence in Alfa against that McLaren was pure joy to watch.
I agree. I'd sure like to see him in a better car. The old man still has juice!
Albon : “Just give me the Gasly treatment already and end my pain”
I mean it’s their fault did you notice that every race he has done well since he has joined the team he had when Max had a DNF because for a once they didn’t use him just for tire data to find out what to give max

@@LAS-pn6yr yea i know, albon is secretly faster than Lewis. They just race him soo hard.

Ok I am gonna be serious all I am saying is that he is not as bad as he looks right now and that Red bull really should try to help there second drivers more and not give up on them after the first few laps
Max lapping Albon was the perfect summary of the latter's career thus far.
They should not have put GAS , nor ALB there.

@@jacob4tee yeah ik :(
This track is something else,beautifull corners and ups and downs
That last turn is soo great, watching the onboard cam while the car goes pedal to metal on that tilted turn to the finnish was such a statisfactory.
Wow. This track is amazing. Has a lot of room which helps keeping cars out of the walls and safe. Love the ups and downs and wide track. So many wheel to wheel moments. It just needs one more DRS zone and more even cars. What a showcase for F1. Please keep this track in the calendar!
@@darockk If we had a second Drs zone in the second straight, the car overtaked would have a chance to re-overtake. It would also provide more wheel to wheel battles from turn 1 to turn 8, for instance. At the end, the race would be even more exciting!!!
Yes, what Fábio wrote.
I agree with Fabio. I'm not a big fan of the DRS but with tracks like Portimao where it seems the turns dictates the race pace amd your position, having two DRS zones might not be bad.
There's a very safe place to overtake, so it's not worth risking overtaking somewhere else, and this makes it actually quite boring, you're going to see 95% of the overtakes at exactly the same spot for all cars and all laps.
Nuno Artilheiro well I couldn't agree more
Let's point out Perez overtook 13 drivers after being hit in lap 1
I wonder how he would have done if not hit by VER. He could have been way up there at the beginning when the two Mercedes were struggling. I think he had enough pace today to beat Leclerc to 4th, easily. We'll never know.
Stroll, OTOH...
@@valle3452 Stroll OTOH, proving once again he’s a rich ego in a racing helmet
Sainz made 16 overtakes last year and got on the podium because Hamilton had a penalty. But Perez did this with no saftey car so hella props to him
@@barnabro tissue?
Yeah, 4, 5 and 6 places were the drivers of the day for me
This is such an awesome track! So glad they added it to the lineup. Amazing 1 on 1 racing
I feel bad for Sainz. 😞
Earlier in the race, he was leading ahead of the Mercs before getting overtaken. And now, he is lapped by Lewis. This is how the tables turn in F1.
But great result by finishing P6. 👏
The soft tires were a double edged sword today. They were able to heat up before the mediums, allowing sainz and Norris to push up & steal the lead before the mercs were able to heat theirs up. But they also fell off pretty quickly and the Mclarens were sitting ducks for the cars with medium tyres later in the race.
Petition: Put Portimao on the Calender for 2021.

This track is amazing for the current f1 cars, they can battle side-by-side all the way to the double right-hander in sector 2 (maybe end of s1? Not sure where it is on the track) without losing a lot of time at all. Absolutely amazing
If the race was 5 laps long, this would have been a banger.

It was a banger regardless
If the race was one hour later we could have rain

@@audioamateur compare it to any motogp race of this season and dare say that again
I enjoyed the race, even if it was the same old outcome we've had for the most part for the past several years. Merc 1-2, with Hamilton winning by a mile. That's getting old but the Portuguese circuit provided many more exciting moments than a lot of other circuits on the calendar. Coincidence that it's not a Tilke designed circuit? I think not.
At least he had to do some overtaking to win, this was a great race at a great track, hope they bring it back next year
Enjoy Greatness because it only happens once in a lifetime Hamilton is the Goat of this Generation
@@fashionlife5348 I liked watching him in 2017-2018 when the Ferrari’s were close but it’s getting ridiculous now. We need at least another team to challenge them. For the sake of the sport let’s hope that the 2022 regs make it interesting.
Anyone who has either played Portimao in sim racing titles or seen other racing series here know it's a fabulous track. Totally lived up to hopes.
That start was the most glorious thing ever
I was screaming at that
it really reminded me of an F2 start. Even without rain they're very chaotic because of lower downforce and drivers struggling to get heat into the tyres. The restarts in Barcelona for example, glorious stuff
