" This must be the grippiest car in history"

It's sad there were no crowds to appreciate the monster that was the W11 in the hands of Lewis Hamilton.

0:59 hamilton: this is a straight line track: no, lewis.. hamilton: yes car: yes

The W11 should be declared a legendary car. Was such a beast

"The F1 game is so unrealistic, the physics are arcade" Also, physics in real life:

That's 1.3 seconds quicker than Leclercs 2019 pole lap. Incredible. This car is so stable it's unbelievable.

This is what happens when you have one of the greatest drivers of all time driving the greatest racing car ever made. And people saying that the car is pretty much doing it all really don't have a clue. Even the Williams is miles faster than the average person can even think. All f1 drivers are damn good, and the margins between an average f1 driver and a great aren't actually that huge, annoys me that armchair racers think that it's easy

Braking after the 50 meter mark at the end of the kemmel straight. Put's a whole new meaning to get in there lewis.

U can see after kemmel straight he braked under 50m . Stunning lap 😱😱

Codemasters be like: 'Invalid laptime exceeding track limits'

“Smooth is fast & fast is smooth.” Lewis’s steering inputs are glorious to watch. No sawing, just smooth incremental turns with instant correction to catch a slide. Mmm, m’mmmmm.

It just sounds like he turned into Pouhon without even tapping the brake or letting off the throttle fully and believing it will stick. HOLY SHIT no wonder the recorded apex speed is 302kph.

Just like the commentators said " Looks like he's driving on rails " The amount of grip and stability due to the suspension is amazing. Well done, Mercedes!

meanwhile in maranello: " MAMMA MIA!"

Did anyone hear after this stunning lap complete he said " for Chadwick,rest in peace Chadwick Boseman" It's so heartbreaking

Flat through Pouhon on low aero is crazy. Weren't many cars there that weekend that could make it around there fully pinned.

That car looks like it doesn't have something called "tyre grip limit". Man Lewis is such a hardcore driver.

There’s simply no touching him, tbh. I’m not his biggest fan by any means but this is Schumacher level dominance. Bottas is a good driver, but simply nowhere close to him. If anything he shows just how good and underrated a driver Rosberg was. Schumi was my childhood sporting hero so it’ll be hard to see Hamilton break his record eventually, but he’ll deserves it. A level above everyone right now really

Braking after 50 meters mark at the end of the straight bit is the most mind blowing part of this lap.

Lewis is the GOAT. Honestly look at how late he’s breaking into the corners and straight on the throttle and just flicking the steering wheel Yes he has the best car but so does Bottas and yet Lewis is on another planet His driving is so smooth and neat always picking the best entry and exit in the circuit I think people will only truly appreciate Lewis when he retires

The amount of speed that car has through corners is insane

Absolutely disgusting levels of grip. He can open up the steering wheel after the apex so quickly and efficiently.. Astonishing to watch. Nothing but respect for Mercedes and LH but slow down a bit Bois :c

The second sector is where he pulled out a banger...Throttle control, Torque control, gear precision control around corners is where HL is unbeastable.

This is such a fabled car. Fasted F1 car ever and only a few people in the world got to see it racing in all its glory with a master at the wheel.

0:58 is just unbelievable... C'mon, it looks like it doesn't even take one bit of effort. Like the corner isn't even there....

Flawless lap 😭. Lewis Hamilton is a monster!!

If I started to brake in an F1 game in Belgium where Hamilton started braking I'd run off😂😂...He's the master of late braking💪

3 and half years later still coming back at mighty historical lap, as a Lewis hater i've got to say he's qualy laps in 2020 were just mind blowing, unbelivable how car can do such things

Wow. Brilliant lap. The car is planted. Stability of the car is off the charts. Reacts to every input perfectly.

This car handles like a dream...for Hamilton. A nightmare for the rest...Max breathing down Bottas' neck by a few thousandths must be in Valterri's mind as we speak.

He is definitely channeling that Black Panther through him.

0:58 Real Racing 3 players can relate

Am I hearing things or was he flat through Pouhon? 😮

That speed through pouhon😍

This will always be my all time favorite pole lap

everyone's talking about pouhon, but look at rivage, he breaks so deep into that corner, it's really mind blowing. it's a downhill corner too, which makes locking up easier. the downforce on the w11 is insane

You could tell by his reaction that lewis knew he was driving well today.

0.5s quicker in same car lol and ppl still hating on him.

Absolutely stunning car. Has to be one of the best ever build. Unbelievable amount of traction, grip and downforce. Pouhon flat is just mental! Could watch that all day. And I'm a RB fan.

2020, I bought that W11 in my F1 mobile racing game even though I’m a RB fan. I have to admit, that year, is their year.

0:57 completely flat through the double left. It was also shown on live TV with telemetry. No lift. That was a braking zone few years ago. Bonkers.

That car has an impossible level of grip

0:58 Absolutely mind boggling he took it flat out. From what I remember, he carried around 300 kmph speed through the corner. Can't imagine what his body must have gone through. And to answer a few questions, he took the corners flat out in 7th gear. After the section ends, you can see him actuate the clutch lever on the right and the engine sound suddenly changes.

The car is only mentioned when people talk about Lewis, no one else, not even his teammate.

The fastest car on any f1 track. This is the fastest generation of cars and we most likely won't have anything faster than this for a long time

The grip and stability of the car in the middle sector is out of this world!

0:59 the best ever

Giving a shout to Chadwick aka "Black Panther" RIP Lewis is just so in the moment. ❤

Congrats to Lewis on winning the Belgian Grand Prix. We can go ahead and assume he's going to win

is truly is a spaceship, I swear down on me nan's grave

This car is just ridiculous. It's like an obedient pet dog, always in control by the owner's leash, obeying his every command. What a technical marvel, possibly the greatest race car ever built in F1. Also noticed how quickly he seems to be able to upshift through gears 2-5 after Turn 1 - stark comparison to his last dry pole here in 2017. They seemed to have improved the engine a lot after rising up to Ferrari's challenge. Only respect...

1:10 that's some insane grip right there

I hate how F1 became so predictable, but gotta give it to LH though. He's an amazing driver.

0:37 What kind of monster are you? The Mercedes W11 the car just turned like a train in rails.(in that speed...)

The way he keeps it pinned through Pouhon is nuts! So so fast and clean lap! No mistakes.

i have never seen a comment section with so much grip. it is like they are on braille

0:58 How much G was he pulling WTF

When you're 8 seasons into your F1 my team, This is what your car feels like

0:35 for these sequence of turns the braking point with an f1 car is around 60-70M while in this hotlap hamilton brakes late af at 50M... What a legend! :o

Throttle absolutely pinned through Pouhon 😳😍

Bruh this car and lewis are on another level. Just see that beast wth so stable and in control

This lap is amazing. It's up there with his 2018 Singapore GP pole lap.

Mastered the last corner

Pouhon flat out, daaaaamn 👌🏾🔥

Lewis wiped the floor with the opposition today. Maybe he should drive in flip flops to make it more of a challenge.

So smooth on the traction!! What a perfect lap!!! Absolute perfection 👌

"That one was for Chadwick... Chadwick Boseman, man, rest in peace."

last time I was this early, ferrari were fighting for the championship

It feels like after every qualifying everyone’s thinking what happened Ferrari? And f1 posts a video of Hamilton’s pole lap. And everyone hopes max can do something to challenge Mercedes

This was an unbelievable lap, but it just shows how fast that 919 evo was. This is only half a second quicker in the best car ever made

Man that gear shifting its insane

Qualifying: AND LEWIS HAMILTON GETS POLE POSITION!!! Race: It's lights out and away we... LEWIS HAMILTON WINS THE BELGIAN GRAND PRIX!!!

Lewis Hamilton your the best driver in history no one else

Believe me 20 years time he will be remembered as the GOAT

His oversteer control at 1:41 is unbelievable, the way that he managed to rotate the car perfectly while it was sliding is beautiful

Imagine getting 2 track records in one session

Flat out Pouhon 🔥🔥🔥

1:00 I literally had to rewatch him take the curve flat out cuz I couldn't believe it

SIMPLY SIMPLY LOVELY... I was watching the driving styles of Senna,Schumi, Alonso and Hamilton.. They have their own speciality but it was correctly said that Hamilton has best Precision in driving. I mean look how synchronised are his braking, steering and acceleration skills.. Legendary Level

Same time tomorrow: Lewis Hamilton adds another win to his career tally...

I despise that they removed telemetry for these onboards

Learning this track right now. That final switchback that demands basically a full stop of the car is insane. So hard to go that slow after going flat most of the track.

I go back to this lap every once in a while just to watch him go through pouhon flat out. It's absolutely insane to watch

0:58 i was waiting from him to release the throttle . He was like nope

Mercedes is using fighter jet engines in their cars 😂

The flat throttle through the faster corners was unbelievable and entry grip also was amazing, and other than the very slight too late braking into the last corner,that was the most perfect lap I have ever seen of any car category ever.

Love your content Formula 1, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel. Thank you for motivation.

I love how everyone is praising the car as if they can drive on same level as this dude.

Here after rocketpoweredmohawk mentioned it 🤣

Full-throttle Pouhon. That must be the best feeling ever

That’s crazy. One action in. And smooth action out. No snaps. Nothing. The car wants to do it and he knows how to make the car do that. This is spectacular. Take a bow. Mercedes is amazing.

I was playing the theme song on my piano while I was watching this lap

Looks like a video game with how fast that lap was. Hamilton doesn't have an ounce of fear in his body and so much trust in Mercedes' engineering. Truly impressive work all around.

I’ve been watching F1 for well over a decade. The fact that he barely had to brake is just astounding to me. Some of corners he was just full on the throttle that a few years back, you had to release a bit to hit the apex.

What a lap. What a car. What a driver and what a dedication to Chadwick!!

Late breaking into Bus stop was so good 😍

I’m pretty sure this beat Neil janni’s time with the 919 evo. And that car had no rules to follow.

I can't tell how many times I've watched this, I just keep coming back.

Man just knows what he’s doing...at the highest level and best in the field.

I have a lot of respect for these F1 drivers.
