No he wouldnt. You were too optimistic in Japan and even Italy. Those in the best case would be a 3rd place, not a win. Thats -20pts and +17 to Hamilton. That's 364 against 399 in a realistic (and actually best) case scenario.The reality is, despite the mistakes, after Belgium they were all Mercedes wins, and if it isnt Mercedes it's a Red bull's win. Mercedes simply made a best car in summer and Ferrari (like 2017 and 2022) didnt. That's why most of the wins of Vettel in Ferrari are in the first half of the season (more deeply, even the first races) while Mercedes always dominated the last races (that includes 2021 for example), ironicaly kinda like Vettel did in Red Bull's days (2010, 2012 specialy). So no, he wouldnt. Maybe we can discuss 2017 without Singapoore's disaster and Japan's engine. I can buy that, but I can't buy the 2018 season. That was a Mercedes' season and there was nothing to be done to make it differently, appart of improoving the car in the summer, which today (2022) Ferrari still doesnt do.
finally someone with a brain, seems people can't accept that even tho vettel has been still very good in 2018, in no way you can beat the mercedes over the season, they just develop the car deeper into the season.
Lewis fan here. Seb deserves 2017. 18, nope. If you do a bit of research mercedes were making a lot of mistakes in 1st half of the season too but Lewis reminded calm most of the time and maximized his results. Might sound like bs to you but you can do your research.
Ferrari had the fastest car in 2018 on all type of tracks until the summer break, so therefore Mercedes was under pressure. Just go back and watch interviews with Hamilton from the begging of the season. I don't see why you think Vettel should have won 2017, the sf70 wasn't fast enough in high-speed corners.
Fun fact.. Vettel crashed in Hockenheim because he had front wing damage, yet nobody mentions that. Yes, I agree he made more mistakes in 2018 vs 2017. But he also needed to full send in the end of the season
I like the premise of this vid but some of your points are pretty silly and your predicted results are extremely optimistic for Vettel, such as China, France, Italy and Japan. I think 2017 is a better example as that would have gone right to the end if it wasn't for the Singapore incident and the Japan DNF.
Germany 2018, something clicked off Vettel. He was never the same driver after that. From then on he made so many mistakes until he finally had to retire. Poor seb. That said, all you’re doing here is crediting Vettel for his what ifs. Hamilton had races where he could have won but DNF or had issues. One other point about Monza, Hamilton was quicker there. He had made the pass on Vettel so if the touch never happened, Vettel would have still finished behind him.
Started with decent scenario's then it went worse and worse... round 16 Suzuka description got me really LMAO HAHAH "cuz he was on fire" this is just random shit based on no facts, germany i can understand, same with china but from there on its where the bullshit came in.
You were too optimistic in Japan and Germany I think. In Japan it probably would’ve been a Ham p1 Vet p2. In Germany, even if Vettel hadn’t crashed, Hamilton was gaining massively on the new ultrasofts on the half wet half dry track. He emerged 25-30 sec behind Vettel after his stop and was only 9 sec behind him when he crashed, after 8 laps. I believe it would’ve been a Ham win with Vet p2.
He lost so many points -China (contact with Verstappen) -Baku (mistake at the restart) -France (contact with Bottas) -Austria (penalty for impeding Sainz) -Germany (mistake while leading the race) -Monza (contact with Hamilton) -Suzuka (contact with Verstappen) -Cota (mistake while racing Ricciardo) -Brazil (sensor problem) That year Hamilton performance was overrated (with the exception of few races like Australia, Spain, Singapore and Abu Dhabi). He was lucky and took advantage of Vettel misfortunes and mistakes.
@@andakawa2227 i have snap chat ill add you on it tomorrow as i have to go offline OMG im so glad to know your ok man we have alot of catching up to do
You forget a lot of issues from Ferrari too - so Qualifying in Suzuka was Ferraris fault, otherwise Vettel P1 or P2 in Q3, same again in the USA - Seb sped under red flag conditions hense his grid penalty etc. Vettel could (should) have won the WDC by a good 50 points with that years Ferrari
The Merc was on Ultrasofts way quicker than Vettel. And the points he lost, he actually gained by mega performances like Australia, Bahrain, Monaco, Canada, GB, Hungary and Belgium. So it's a taking and giving and he was the one to take a lot of risk to win the title, meanwhile the Merc was OP, maybe not as much as 14-16, but still the upperhand, no matter what british biased people say. Watch the onboards, Vettel went on the limit, while Hamilton do a lot of lift and coast and still wins.
Could have of course but way too many mistakes to win championship. Mistakes almost cost him 2010 but didn't but cost him this. There are many. Hamilton China 2007. Alonso Belgium 2010. Hamilton Emilia-Romagna 2021. At least didn't lose because of reliability like Hamilton 2016 Malaysia and Räikkönen oh so many races in 2005
Since all your reasonings are based on "ifs" and just wishful thinking, why not just say if Hamilton DNF amd Vettel places 1st in all the races.. cuz that's just how it is!!
Some of those scenarios are so unrealistic like Lewis was quickest around Suzuka Vettel would of finished 3rd without that mistake he made making a stupid move on Max I hate what if vids cause people say stuff so unrealistic like in this vid
Tbh it is not true what you made here. France would have been P1 Hamilton, P2 Bottas, P3 Vettel as ferrari was not quick that race. Monza would have been either P1 Hamilton, P2 Vettel, P3 Kimi after team orders or P1 Hamilton, P2 Raikkonen, P3 Vettel. Japan would have been P1 Hamilton, P2 either Bottas or Vettel, P3 same as P2. USA was were Seb struggled so probably P1 Kimi, P2 Max P3 Hamilton, P4 Vettel as it was. I Abu Dhabi Hamilton would be slowing down Seb so Red bulls could catch them so never know what would have happened. So tbh video doesn't make a lot of sence
Don't even have to review it, the simple answer is: no. Ferrari had a good engine but overall their total package was second. With such an amazing car being in the hands of Hamilton, Vettel was a heavy underdog. Even before Germany, Vettel was only leading by 8 points with the same amount of wins as Hamilton because Hamilton got a DNF in Austria (so if Hamilton was 6th or higher in Austria, he would be equal or higher before Germany [He was also leading the race after Bottas' dnf and if they hadn't messed his strategy, he would still be leading so in that case, he would have finished 5th until his car broke down, meaning he would have lead by championship by either 2 points or 17]). Thus, the German was simply nothing but a nail to the coffin
What you're saying is correct, but there is a "but." Vettel arrived at the German Grand Prix as the championship leader, with arguably the most competitive car. Despite that mistake, he still managed to win in Spa, so the real issue that year wasn't the home race but Monza. From Monza onwards, he completely lost his composure. In Monza, Ferrari had a 1-2 in qualifying, and realistically, they could have aimed for a victory or at least a podium. The story was almost the same in Austin; he could have at least aimed for a podium, if not a victory. As a result, Vettel is missing at least 2 clean victories, not even considering all the misfortunes (safety car when he was comfortably leading in Baku, Max in Crashstappen mode, and others). Ferrari would have approached the second half of the season with much more confidence and momentum or would have had a substantial points advantage over Lewis, increasing the pressure on him. But with "ifs" and "buts," unfortunately, you don't get anywhere. It's a bit like last season: Before Spa, Ferrari - with Leclerc - could have easily won in: Bahrain (won) Australia (won) Catalunya (retired, and Max won) Monaco Great Britain Austria (won) France (retired, and Max won) Without even considering other races where Ferrari wasn't clearly the best but still had misfortunes or gross errors that compromised much more positive results, such as in Hungary, Emilia-Romagna, and Azerbaijan. Also, consider that when Max retired - AUS and BHR - Leclerc didn't gain any additional positions (except for having a rival who scored zero points), while with Leclerc's retirements, Verstappen practically always gained more points than he would have if Leclerc had finished, so it was "double luck". Furthermore, all of Leclerc's breakdowns clearly influenced the outcome of the following race, assisting Max and penalizing Charles. In this case as well, Ferrari probably would have gained a considerable margin that could have allowed them to compete for the championship until the final stages. They probably wouldn't have ended car development in August, and Max probably wouldn't have raced with his arm out of the window for half the season. But with "ifs" and "buts," unfortunately, you don't get anywhere.
In Suzuka Ferrari made a big mistake in Q3 when the rain started a little bit they immediately stopped their 2 drivers without making any lap on the dry tyres to put instead the inter tyres and it was the wrong decision because the rest of the field made 1 lap on the beginning of the session with the dry tyres to secure a competitive time until the rain comes, Seb had the pace that the weekend to fight for the pole and the win especially on the dry, unlike Sochi where him and Ferrari where nowhere to fight against Mercedes, on the race Seb in just 2 laps recovered from p9 to p4 and was already attacking Max for p3 after the sc, if he would have been patient he would have passed him on the finish straight and would have attacked the 2 Mercedes who they were just 2 seconds ahead of Max and not with a big pace like in Sochi, Seb had clearly the pace that day to fight for the win and even to win, just look how Max made the pressure on Valtteri during practically all the race, even the Redbull had the pace like in 2017 to fight for the win in that track.
By doing like this, you can make bottas win the championship. He could have won in Bahrein. He should have won in Azerbaijan and china. If Vettel were not patient in France he would be P2. And so go on
and in australia if the safety car didnt come out lewis would won and in germany if he didnt have the engine problem in qualifying he would started 2nd and he could won...your video is terrible
In Melbourne Lewis was unlucky but in Hockenheim Lewis made a big mistake and his only mistake of the season in qualifying precisely in Q2 going so wide on the turn 1 and passing over the curbs and sausages broken his car and forcing to retire from the quali, it was not an issue form the car.
@@flazone4486 Omo you clueless about Germany 🤣🤣. It's because Lewis had a loss of hydraulic that he couldn't get enough engine breaking for that turn and that's why he went wide! It's not the off which caused the failure, it's the failure that caused the off
Ferrari got out-developed in the second half of 2018, being nowhere in the last 3 races, so even without the mistakes I still think Hamilton wins it SCs were crazy though, there was a chance Vettel would win the first 4 rounds, and who knows where it goes from there

Austria (won)
France (retired, and Max won)
Without even considering other races where Ferrari wasn't clearly the best but still had misfortunes or gross errors that compromised much more positive results, such as in Hungary, Emilia-Romagna, and Azerbaijan.
Also, consider that when Max retired - AUS and BHR - Leclerc didn't gain any additional positions (except for having a rival who scored zero points), while with Leclerc's retirements, Verstappen practically always gained more points than he would have if Leclerc had finished, so it was "double luck".
Furthermore, all of Leclerc's breakdowns clearly influenced the outcome of the following race, assisting Max and penalizing Charles.
In this case as well, Ferrari probably would have gained a considerable margin that could have allowed them to compete for the championship until the final stages. They probably wouldn't have ended car development in August, and Max probably wouldn't have raced with his arm out of the window for half the season.
But with "ifs" and "buts," unfortunately, you don't get anywhere.
By your logic hamilton could have won the championship by 200 points.
2017 he deserve more but Ferrari falied in end of the season. 2018 Lewis was perfect basically and Seb not.
Wtf is this suzuka he's on fire. No disrespect but hamilton would have won cuz he was really gas
In Suzuka Ferrari made a big mistake in Q3 when the rain started a little bit they immediately stopped their 2 drivers without making any lap on the dry tyres to put instead the inter tyres and it was the wrong decision because the rest of the field made 1 lap on the beginning of the session with the dry tyres to secure a competitive time until the rain comes, Seb had the pace that the weekend to fight for the pole and the win especially on the dry, unlike Sochi where him and Ferrari where nowhere to fight against Mercedes, on the race Seb in just 2 laps recovered from p9 to p4 and was already attacking Max for p3 after the sc, if he would have been patient he would have passed him on the finish straight and would have attacked the 2 Mercedes who they were just 2 seconds ahead of Max and not with a big pace like in Sochi, Seb had clearly the pace that day to fight for the win and even to win, just look how Max made the pressure on Valtteri during practically all the race, even the Redbull had the pace like in 2017 to fight for the win in that track.
By doing like this, you can make bottas win the championship.
He could have won in Bahrein. He should have won in Azerbaijan and china. If Vettel were not patient in France he would be P2. And so go on
Bahrain*
Max ruining Ferrari's chance that year!
XDDDDDDD
Max the divebomber
...
and in australia if the safety car didnt come out lewis would won and in germany if he didnt have the engine problem in qualifying he would started 2nd and he could won...your video is terrible
In Melbourne Lewis was unlucky but in Hockenheim Lewis made a big mistake and his only mistake of the season in qualifying precisely in Q2 going so wide on the turn 1 and passing over the curbs and sausages broken his car and forcing to retire from the quali, it was not an issue form the car.
@@flazone4486 Omo you clueless about Germany 🤣🤣. It's because Lewis had a loss of hydraulic that he couldn't get enough engine breaking for that turn and that's why he went wide! It's not the off which caused the failure, it's the failure that caused the off
your video doesn't make any sense, everytime vettel didn't end up 1st you had a reason and (if if if or let's say this or that) bruh
Ferrari got out-developed in the second half of 2018, being nowhere in the last 3 races, so even without the mistakes I still think Hamilton wins it
SCs were crazy though, there was a chance Vettel would win the first 4 rounds, and who knows where it goes from there
give vettel p1 in suzuka is straight bias no chance he could get p1, p2 as a maximum, so hamilton would've still won by 12
giving*
Wow incredibly biased video
This video is terrible haha
Have you watched f1?
Pointless video. By this logic there were races where Lewis could have been further up so he would have won the wc still.
The good ending
