The best fights in the hybrid era: “Bottas, hold position” “Confirm”

The way Rosberg looked when team orders were given was just to funny

"Bottas hold position" "Confirm" What a fight.

3:00 at first glance, that Red Bull car looked like it was hovering because of the Heli's shadow 🤦‍♂️😹

Mercedes: give Bottas instructions so that he doesn't battle with Hamilton F1: BaTeL

Title: "Top 10 battles" -Top 9: "Valtteri it's James. Please hold position" Nice joke F1 :D

Man Charles Leclerc's defending is on another level ...

"No team orders here at Mercedes" "Valtteri its James please hold position" **They had us in the first half, not gonna lie**

"No team orders at Mercedes!" 5 seconds later "Valtteri, it's James"

The disappointment on Rosberg's face when Bottas complied to team orders says it all.

james: "valtteri hold position, let lewis win this one" lewis: "i'm the greatest"

2021 was one of the craziest seasons I've witnessed during my 25+ years watching Fromula racing Especially the second half and definitely the last few weeks. Unbelievable.

You can’t put “valteri it’s James” on here as one of the best battles in over nearly a decade of f1

James: Valtteri, it's James. Hold position. Bottas: Copy James. Nico Roseberg: **visible confusion**

Nico and Lewis had some of the most amazing battles. Two truly outstanding drivers.

"he won in spa he wins in monza charles leclerc wins the italian grand prix " still gives me the chills

“No team orders at Mercedes” “Valtteri it’s James.”

3:02 Because of the shade of the helicopter, it kinda looks like the car is flying

2:43 Rosberg be like: "been there, done that"

Lewis: For those who do not know me, now you do! A few moments earlier: "Valtteri its James, Please hold position"

Nico's face at 2:43 sums up how we react to team orders

3:01 - Am I the only one who thinks the red bull looks like it’s flying?? 🤣

Danny ric winning at monaco with 6 gears is severely underrated

Yeah.... this video has to be updated after 2021 season...

Why is #9 on this list? "Valtteri its James, Please Hold Position" Epic Battle.

Alternative title: Top 10 Hamilton vs everyone else battles

The thing that frustrates me about some drivers is they get frustrated when they’re racing and they get rubbed or nudged or bumped, or they get annoyed when they’re raced in general, but Nico and Lewis were clearly having enormous fun in that last battle at Bahrain

Surprised not to see Max and Charles in Silverstone on here, what a battle that was

German gp James: hold position Bottas: copy Nico: shouldn't have done that😭

Rosberg's reaction to the team order was golden

"No team order from the team mercedes !!!!" James: ehm

2014-16 was one of the most fiercest teammate rival title fights I've seen in my life

No way Bottas vs Hamilton in Germany can be classed as a battle. Team orders literally killed any chance of a battle the moment it started.

The fact that Hulkenberg went wide while watching Leclerc VS Hamilton is gold

"Valterri, it's James" *pain*

Best video you guys made. Who ever mixed this deserves a raise... music.. camera angles... great work F1.

That was hilarious when valterri was told o hold position and nico looked like bruh are you a driver or what

“No team orders at Mercedes” *instantly makes a team order*

7:52 : kids with a mic from 1997

This is almost completely irrelevant list after The Legendary season of 2021. Absolutely unbelieveble season

How did the infamous "Valtteri it's James" got in the "top 10 battles" of the hybrid era?

The kimi re-overtake of hamilton is very underrated

8. Raikkonen vs Hamilton 2018. This is a perfect example of how Kimi gave space for Hamilton when going into Turn 2. On the contrary, Hamilton after yesterday's race says that he gave space for Max but that wasn't clearly the case. Seeing the many races in Monza, it's clear how Hamilton drives when approaching turn 1 and turn 2. He does a zig zag to avoid others from braking late and get an advantage.

2:57 Ham: "For those who don't know me, now you do!", I'm the guy who wins races because team orders won't let my wingman overtake me... what a joke xD

I miss Nico Rosberg so much, you don't realise what you have until you lose it

3:02 the most trippy clip of the F1 Hybrid Era.

great to have these replays here altogether because in the actual races i was sleeping after a few laps

Crazy how we are 2 races into 2022 and this list should already have 2 new entries for the top 10 battles.

Alternative Title: Lewis Hamilton Battleling for the Win

I still don't quite get why people think Rosberg wasn't special He was an amazing driver Became world champion When in the same team as Hamilton That's a massive achievement in my book

That last bit with Nico and Hamilton… great aggressive racing and yet great sportsmanship

2021 possible updates (after the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP): - Great Britain GP 2021. - Hamilton vs Verstappen: 1st lap epic and spectacular battle and collision at Copse. - Saudi Arabia GP 2021. - Hamilton vs Verstappen: Restarts, collisions, confusion and polemic. - Russia GP 2021. - Norris vs Hamilton: Under the final laps' rain. - Brazil GP 2021. - Hamilton vs Verstappen: New engine, new challenge to the win. - France GP 2021. - Hamilton vs Verstappen: Strategic payback. - Hungary GP 2021. - Ocon vs Vettel vs Hamilton: Under massive pressure by a 4 times world champion and a very dangerous Mercedes comeback to the podium. - USA GP 2021. - Hamilton vs Verstappen: The final lap drama to the line due to tyre wear, as Verstappen manages still to win at COTA for the first time. - Abu Dhabi 2021 GP. - Verstappen vs Hamilton: The last dance of the greats, the championship definitive battle in the final lap, and the born of a new champion. I think that's all.

*I love how they took 9 races from 2018-2021 and then just put 2014 and completely erased 2015-2017 from history books.*

Fun Fact: It's a top 10 because they don't have more battles for the lead in this era

@3:02 The heli creates an impression the car is flying !!!!!!!!!!! Really flying

I thought that car was floating at 3:00

The fact there are no battles from 2014-2017 which aren’t Merc v Merc just says how dominant they were

As a tifoso, the battle in Monza between Charles and the Mercedes was the most exciting. But I have to say, top 9 wasn't a battle and it missed the battle between Charles and max at silverstone 2019.

I will never forget the Hamilton vs Rosberg battle in Bahrein. On the edge of my seat the entire time

I guess there’s a new battle added today, What a race!

How it’s a battle when there is “Valtteri it's James” in it

It's sad seeing how even after such an intense battle, both Nico and Lewis obviously enjoyed Bahrain in 2014 and were very close. But somewhere along the line their relationship just tanked after 2015.

3:01 it looked like Verstappen was floating

as a leclerc fan ive come back to this video at least 10 times in the last week.

HE WON IN SPA HE WINS IN MONZA chills everytime

Lewis: "For those who don't know me now you do" What happened : Mercedes was holding Bottas back else he wouldn't be on the podium that day.

man the music at the beginning is nice. Great vid.

love how when its Bottas behind Hamilton they tell him to hold position, but when its Hamilton behind Bottas they just let him overtake even if it's risky

How does the actual battle between Kimi and Hamilton from the US GP 2018 miss out while the Mercedes team orders to Bottas to "not battle" with Hamilton is classified as a "battle" by F1 ?

This channel should be named: Formula Hamilton So much great duels from ‘17 and ‘18 with seb and ricc

2:50 lewis freestyle

Time to add a few more to this list now.

I miss the times Kimi was still in a competitive car...

How many times has Lewis Battled in the Hybrid Era Lewis Hamilton: Hold my 8/10 appearances in the top 10

9:32 I genuinely thought Crofty was singing.

Really remembering to appreciate this season, they could put almost every race of this season in this list, but it wouldn’t fit the title, Outside of that we just have to appreciate the amount of amusement that this season gave us, amazing

that hamilton vs rosberg in bahrain really was legendary🔥🔥🔥

Mercedes-"Great racing Nico". Nico-"And then someone should tell that the sport is boring". F1- "That'll shut the critics up".

This reminded me of how amazing Kimi was with Ferrari.

There's always so much more to any situation involving Max and Charles

men that illegal engine on leclercs ferrari in 2019 monza gp was a beast.

I was expecting 10 Mercedes drivers fighting each other.

3:03 Ricciardo always gets the front row seat for Hamilton’s and Verstappen’s battles. The same happened in Abu Dhabi in 2021 in the last lap battle

They better put today's battle in the updated list, what a race.

"No team orders at Mercedes" James: Valtteri, it's James. Rosberg: "I'm so glad I retired" Hamilton: "Didn'T kNoW whAt wAs gOnNa HapPeN aFtER thE sAfeTy caR, aLl The gUyS behInd wIth tHe NewER TiReS, FoR ThOSe WHo DoN'T kNoW mE, noW thEy dO."

The Nico vs Lewis fights were simply magnificent!

Honestly the 2021 season has surpassed this number and it's been between 2 great drivers all the time!

Imagine Senna and Prost with that kind of team orders. The fight between Hamilton and Rosberg made a lot of damage in the Mercedes team.

How does everyone always forget seb's battles for the lead in 17 and 18 those were one of the best years if ur talking rivalry

3:00 that chopper's shadow makes it seem like the cars are flying

They could make a top 10 with just this year's battles. What a 2021 season we're having!

Notice how like half of these are verstappen! Love him or hate him but his very aggressive driving style is so amazing to watch as it brings us fans soooo many great moments to watch over and over again.

2:44 I can see Rosberg saying in his mind: "Well, here we go again"

Wow!!! Hamilton's battle with the team orders made top 10. Well deserved.

Lol 😂 IN IN IN IN IN IN IN IN…that’s what car 44 needed to hear at Abu Dhabi 😂😂😂🤦🏻

"No team order at Mercedes" "Valtteri, it's James"

The Lewis x Rosberg at Bahrein looks like theres just those two on track

Honorable mentions: Nando vs GP2 engine. Kimi vs Gloves, steering wheel, and drincc. Lewis vs Tires. Valterri vs James. Seb vs Ferrari Strategies. Daniel vs DNF.

Christian horner: you don't stick a wheel up the inside at copse Bottas: hold my beer

"James, its Valtteri..."
