the way he said it is similar when the narrators in Brazil say when they score...they say "Goooool"

we need a game mod with that sound as engine noise

@@phoenix1279 possibly cause they hope he can hold up Max

@@phoenix1279 You Red Bull guys are never happy. Riccardo Musconi was exactly the same personality when he was part of Hamilton's team. Somehow it's part of this ongoing moronic claim that Mercedes don't have any enthusiasm for Bottas.

Yes

yessirrrrr

And with a bit rain here and there...

Agreed! Too bad the middle east people pay tons of money, so they can have the last race there...

I agree but I think that the vibes in Abu Dhabi are so fkn nice, the blue everywhere just sets a really nice and nerve racking tone, ik it does not have many overtaking opportunities but if they manage to fix that with the changes I think it will be a really nice circuit

Problem with Valtteri is he rarely makes it count on Sunday. I won't be surprised if Max, Sainz and Checo get him at the first corner

Yeah that Perez dude is useless for Max. Couldn't overtake Lewis in Mexico and Sainz in Brasil

@@ml8022 shut up, less useless than Bottas

@@protalukoriginal4560 Maybe in a way you are right, because Bottas also drives inside the fastest car. Perez has something slower to drive with

Idk man. All he has shown was that he's certainly not wrong in F1 but also that he sits in a superior car that flies especially on the straights...

Lewis is showing off a extremely dominant car.... I respect him as a driver but where would he been if his car would be mediocre?

@@GreatCornholio69 the car plays a large role but also he's ability to take the better line overtaking and also many cars have the same engine as him

swap formulas and max, norris, gasly and possibly ricciardo would gap him for a lap by the end of the race. His formula is 4-15% faster than any other formula at this moment. And being 0.1% faster than other is superior......

Mmmmm everybody knows the merc and the rb are th best cars on the grid and every race they lap other cars so not really a difficult task to pass most cars when going full on with so few laps. He is still very talented though no question about it but he also holds the best cards in the game.

That's what I thought. He learnt how to overtake very car except the Redbull.

Right as a rookie Lewis was a very late braker. People will say his drive was due to the car but gaining 15 positions in 24 laps is no fluke. this was an amazing drive by Lewis, If Max does it everyone would be praising him to eternity.

Looked like he went back to his prime

That gave me Silverstone 2008 flashbacks

Maybe his car being far superior than the rest played a major role

Lewis will torture them as long as they are watching F1.

he was overtaking cars that had drs open as well. its not lewis its that merc engine combined with the suspension that lowers rake at high speed. look at 2:20 daniel has drs b ut lewis breezes past him, 1:41 as well, alonso has drs but lewis goes right by.

@@armanromana1580 f1 cars had lowering suspensions for years now. It’s just Lewis skill, which he was able to unfold because of the new ice

@@armanromana1580 Daniel has a merc engine

​@@armanromana1580 He was not able to breeze past initially and got stuck in the DRS train but he switch his strategy mid race for the last corner while racing tsunoda and started braking early and accelerating early so he can carry more exit speed which means he was less affected by turbulent air and had more exit speed. He was very close during exit that was and was able to use slip stream. He figured this out while trying to overtake Tsunoda and applied it to the rest of the field. Ted Kravits came on the commentary and revealed this. So its not just the car mate. He was able to breeze past everyone because he showed his adaptive skills and was able to stay close using slipstream to his advantage.

Well I think your absolutely right but Lewis himself does this aswel… When Max wins and Lewis is second it’s purely bc of the red bull being faster but he won’t say ‘and a great drive from Verstappen’ and he always blames his car or team if he has a bad race almost never himself…

All his overtakes were on the straight..due to the car lol

@@MD-wh3vk doesn't that show that lewis wants to be the best, and believes in that? if he comes p2, it was because of the car, showing that he believes he can always win when it's just based on talent.

Highly unlikely with Verstappen and Perez starting in 2nd and 4th. Starting from 10th is not some amazing gift in F1. He's betting that the engine change will be better for the following races by sacrificing this one.

Ummm Sochi? But I do agree with u

@@sukhvirm8 the grid could completely change on the start so i would kinda want sochi sprint

Monaco sprint .lol

@@sukhvirm8 I added Sochi because I personally find qualifying around that track somewhat uninteresting. Because of the straight it usually comes down to a tow from your team mate or a lucky slipstream. Now that Bottas isn't in a merc to claim his annual sochi race win I'd rather see a sprint race where with some weather/different strategies the slip stream can make it interesting.

Isn't Sochi gone next year, or was the move to the track near St. Petersburg pushed back a year?

And yet, bar Lewis's drive (even he did what was expected though, to be fair), it was like watching paint dry.

Thats what annoys me most every other car on the grid just seems like they are in a different league!

benetton vs williams 94-95, mclaren vs ferrari 98-2002, ferrari vs renault 05-06, ferrari vs mclaren 07-08, merc vs ferrari 17-18, and now RBR vs Merc 21.. only on 2009-2010 there was various winners from 3+ constructor teams

Still, two drivers managed to hold up the two Red Bull for the entire race, and one of them wasn't in a Mercedes. So there's that.

One team is going to get the new regulations right and be ahead of the competition next season and I think the budget cap will make it impossible for the teams that get it wrong to catch up

Hoping for Valterri that Alfa's focus on next year's car instead of this year's car pays off.
