      Except for in the Monaco tunnel and up Eau Rouge, at least for 2012. Not trying to be picky, just saying it just incase it becomes relevant to know for one of these videos again. I.e Schumacher 2012 "pole" lap. EDIT: Just noticed you already did the Schumacher video, nevermind :D

    When Maldonado took pole, the bookies across the street were giving 1000/1 that he would win the race. I was going to go put a fiver on it but I was meeting friends and was so hungover in the morning that I went "I am not getting out of bed. He isn't going to win, anyway. No chance".
    I am still sick about it 12 and a half years later 😆

      I remember feeling the same fear when I wasn't quick enough to put a bet on Russell for a race win or very least a podium when Hamilton got covid. Luckily his race was a mess

    Some people think that the Williams was actually really fast that year, and for once, the drivers (crash-prone Pastor Maldonaldo and simply slow Bruno Senna) were the bottleneck.

      I mean yeah, could have been considering the qualifying performances Maldonado put in at some races. Both he and the car had some pretty good pace over one lap, it's just he wasn't exactly great in the races or in keeping it out of the wall. Bruno Senna actually went on a streak of lower points paying positions during the middle of the season, but considering the possibilities of the car, it seems he was the bottleneck.

      I feel bad for Bruno. He had potential but his uncle's death killed it. Wasted talent.

    Wow that was super close, well done Tom!; if you would have used DRS everywhere you could have even beaten Lewis' time. 1:01 I actually forgot that Pastor in real life in Q2 went faster by almost 2 tenths, he was definitely feeling the pressure in Q3.

    My theory is that the front right tyre is not offering the max performance possible due to the temps throughout the lap... maybe modifying the pressure and the toe/camber of just the front right might shave a few extre tenths?

    Wasn’t it on williams 70th anniversary or sir franks 70th birthday or something like that, very suspicious timing for a pole and win given how that car was for the rest of the season and even before this event.

    The problem I noticed with u is that u love understeer and u understeer and u turn too late and fron doesnt grip mostly in entry of a corner when u miss the apex most.
    Try a earlier entry I think u will find good amount of time, other is good but u are too gently with reactions.

    I tried something similar back in 2013, you can watch it if you want th-cam.com/video/fVuNbqt4zAk/w-d-xo.html
    Also, I have a suggestion. I'm watching your take on Senna's Monaco 1988 pole, so that reminded me of another qualifying domination. Villeneuve's pole lap in Australia 1997 would be a great lap to reenact or beat 💪 As a Québécois living in the city where Jacques is born, that would be awesome 😁 Thanks Tom!
