@@Casherr93 i agree, except for vegas i was at the vegas gp in person last year and i really enjoyed it. (Even though we missed 2 practice sessions for negligence) The race was incredible I love how loopy china is though, can’t wait for it.
@@nicolasgarcia248 Not that argument again, oh it's free so why not just upload a blank video right? Do you know how this benefits them? Do you know why it matters that people like what they upload?

There's not a chance Bottas beating Lewis Hamilton over the course of a season. Over an entire season, it takes immense mental strength. Remember last year when we all thought Seb is going to be the champion after 3 races ? Lewis is so tough mentally. He's almost superhuman. He's usually slow at the beginning of the season but comes alive in the middle of the season. Bottas doesn't stand a chance against Hamilton. Not a fanboy but just stating facts. Lewis enjoys pressure while even a 4 time WC like Sebastian wilts under it. LH is a very hard nut to crack.
@@manigopal92 But would you not say when cracked he is weak as shown through 2016 vs Rosberg? (PS: I fully back Hamilton to overcome Bottas even though I am a Verstappen fan)
While Hamilton was surfing, kitesurfing and modeling in the off season, Bottas was busting his ass in the gym, rally racing, perfecting his driving skills. He deserves it!
I said he deserved P1, I didn’t say anything about the championship! I do like that fact that he’s putting pressure on Hamilton. Makes for a more exciting season.
ya ya In one of Hamilton’s most resent interviews, he even said he only trained 1-2x per week or less. But your missing my point. Bottas’s hard work put him on pole, and because of that he’s stepped up his game. I’m not taking anything away from Hamilton’s talent and years of dedication and hard work. I am a true AMG fan. Own 2 of them. C55 and a C63 507. License plate “SilvArrw” And where did I say Hamilton was lazy or lessor?
That’s what I like to hear! That’s what I like to see! Well done Valtteri Bottas great job mate. I’m cheering on Vettel and Bottas this afternoon. Can we get two video comparisons please F1? Bottas vs Hamilton Q3, Bottas vs Vettel Q3 I want to see exactly where Bottas found his time compared to these 2 guys. Because Vettel was matching them in 1 and 2 but lost 2.5 or so in 3.

@@manigopal92 haha lewis is so tough? he just doesn't make mistakes because he is an alien driver in the grid. But think about a bad mercedes upgrade to the car or a strategy error from the team. When you look at past you can see he is fragile almost 'mentally' as seb. his driving is superb but .... we didn't see him in a slower car since 2013. and dont tell me ferrari is faster last year, ferrari made awful upgrades after spa and litteraly went back to the spa version aero at the last third in the season. this is a disaster for a team because everyone on the grid getting faster and faster with the upgrades but you can't get faster AND get slower due to upgrades. makes huge pace difference.
Bottas finally has realized his job is up for grabs.he ain't got nothing to lose in my eyes.ocon is waiting to be the new wingman.soon it's going to be "Esteban its James"
Ferrari is the ducati version of F1: straight line speed is incredible, but not really good on corner Mercedes is the honda: straight speed is not that great, but easier to ride around corner.
2018 pole lap: 1:31.095 2019 pole lap: 1:31.547 This is quite odd considering the 2019 cars have been quicker at Australia and Barhain, but maybe they’ll be faster in the race idk.
Interestingly, every team/driver has gone slower than their 2018 China qualifying pace--except Mercedes. Bottas and Lewis did a 1:31.625 and 1:31.675 last year, improving to 1:31.547 and 1:31.570 this year. It seems that Mercedes is really going pedal to the metal with their in-season development pace.
Meanwhile Ocon is dying in the inside
Who?
@@TomiVuori ocon. You know the guy who fucked up verstappen's race in Brazil last year?
maybe he is gonna get gasly's seat
Good
@D K looks like he's gonna be waiting a long time.
After 5 years... its race week in Shanghai again
Is any porridge left for tomorrow? Better keep it ready
Anyone watching ahead of 2024 China GP?
Me lol
We are live
trying to remember the track layout lol, it’s been so long
idk why i hated this track before but now i think its awesome, maybe because we have trash like jeddah, miami, las vegas or lusail
@@Casherr93 i agree, except for vegas i was at the vegas gp in person last year and i really enjoyed it. (Even though we missed 2 practice sessions for negligence) The race was incredible I love how loopy china is though, can’t wait for it.
cannot wait to see this track this year
Hope they change the first corner.
Same, nice to have 1 more proper non-street track on the calendar this year and a fast technical track i like.
@@duskodragic649 Why? At least its unique
Why? Its cool and unique and has a cool racing line@@duskodragic649
Same & about time.
Love how you can see what gears he uses!
This is the first time I see gears displayed in sync.
Sharing a point across, not just stating the obvious.
i would love to see speed as well
The way the Mercedes gains speed after the corner is unbelievable ... Amazing
I miss these dayz.
Bottas might be challenging for the title with Lewis!
FAST MOTORSPORTS hopefully
Might be??? It is already on brother.
Mikes Holmes only the 3rd race a lot can happen yet. But at the minute it looks like he’s a contender for the title
Hardley anything between them, Bottas doesnt have what it takes to beat lewis wheel to wheel.
There's alot of F1 fans wanna see Bottas to be a world champion
This was a very cool and calm qualifying lap, that deserves a lot of respect!
Bottas woke up, love it!
Beard power activated
Beard power seems to be working, unlike mustache power. 😂
@@onilosha Superior hairodynamics
That Sector 2 was God level Holy !!
And that last corner ! Holy moly
@@tristanmohamed7833 S2 was good but threw away at least a couple of tenths in the corner immediately following.
Why don’t they show the speedometer anymore?
YES. I think its because of how fast the upload it now, i would prefer a delayed upload with screen stats
Because it will show Mercedes is still the fastest car despite sky Lewis F1 "claiming" Ferrari has half a second advantage on the straightaway.
@@Twin540i You don't need a speedometer to realise Mercedes has a better car for this track.
@@helikopteri123 Mercedes has had and still is the fastest car on the grid despite all the hammy fans saying Ferrari is the faster car
@@Twin540i For Australia and China. In Bahrain Ferrari was the better one.
Thanks for the cámara angle🙏 Hopefully you could bring back live data in terms of throttle, gears, rpm... It’s pretty interesting to see it
Again, why no telemetry?!
Look how fast they uploaded this. Personally I prefer having footage ASAP they can always re upload later with telem.
@@Cherub1m7 So you tell me they can show the telemetry LIVE on tv but can't do it after several hours later on RUclips?
No telemetry....You shouldn't pay for this video...oh wait, this is for free

1:15 Just listen to the revs go up (reduced drag) when the DRS is activated. Loving it
Wingman mode disengaged!!
And wingman engaged on you!
@@alraptor97raptor91 plz no daddy
@@CutyAaron 😄😄 That felt like it touched you man you're OK.
What a lap
Second sector was absolutely perfect 👌
Unpopular opinion, I really like this circuit. It's not the best or without flaws but I actually like it
Thank you for the MUCH BETTER T-cam view!!!!
Valtteri its Mr Quaker. Please give Lewis some oats.
WE ARE BACK BABY
0:51 They take that double left corner so quickly it’s actually impossible in the f1 games
One of the best races in the season, that circuit; best of luck to Valtteri!
So glad he is on my fantasy f1 team, great job Valtteri!

Thanks F1 RUclips,that you put the pole after Q Highlights..i work all day and i cant see it live..
That high-speed left-hander in sector 2 was near perfect
This year at Turn1 is the Zhou Guanyu's stand!!
Thank you for the T cam! Class lap!
While Hamilton was surfing, kitesurfing and modeling in the off season, Bottas was busting his ass in the gym, rally racing, perfecting his driving skills. He deserves it!
Let's talk when the season's over lol. Qualy is 2-1 for Hamilton now.
People have already forgotten Bahrain. And last year. And the year before that.
he is still going to lose to ham in the championship though so it dont matter.
I said he deserved P1, I didn’t say anything about the championship! I do like that fact that he’s putting pressure on Hamilton. Makes for a more exciting season.

great video, thanks liberty media. Please include telemetry in the future. Keep up the good work.
That first turn gave me whiplash. Lord!!
I miss these cars
beautiful. I think 1st and 2nd are the most difficult corners of all 2019 tracks.
That's what Valtteri like to hear and doesn't like "Valtteri.... it's james" :D
lol you deserve more likes
This comment is a bit too well used now...
nothing else to say..
James, it's Valtteri
Happy 1000th race Formula 1❤
That’s what I’d like to hear!
UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!!!
It's like he has a grip glitch!
Beautiful lap, hope Silver Arrows will fly well tomorrow as well.
No
The first right hander is very punishing. Love it.
Well done Beardtas. That downshifts sick.
Please video with speed, Brake/throttle, rpm and BOOST
Awesome👌 lap
Gotta love😍 the sound of Mercedes V6 2019 engine sounds like a V8-12

what to say. Valtteri can drive this car. flying lap. amazing to watch this 2019
cars
RIP 2020 Shanghai GP. Shame on you Coronavirus.
Please compare:
Vettel's Lap and fastest corners/straights
And
Bottas' Lap and fastest corners/straights
His final corner compared to the other drivers is fine af
That was smooth as hell, but iiss the days of seeing drivers struggle in the V12 turbo monsters
Supreme lap
Solid lap, so smooth
James: Valtteri, it's James. Oh, wait nvm.
Valtteri: Copy.
The beard to be feared !!
Well done Valteri.
Hell yes, Valtteri!!! Well done!
I sincerely hope Bottas takes the title this year :-) .
Yes, well done guys
That’s our boy..., congrats.....
Pundits: The old Bottas is back in Bahrain I expect him in China to.
Bottas, Hold my Porridge 🥣
Damn that sound at 1:34 is amazing
'Party mode' is back. Damn that car is so balanced in the corners!
This is the last chinese grand prix on this moment
What a perfect lap!!!

Yes he is by a obviously margin (And don't try and sarcastic move as it'll be impervious to me)
He is, did you miss the Bahrain GP ?

Here after valtteri got to q3 in the sauber
Clean lap!

Mercedes is the honda: straight speed is not that great, but easier to ride around corner.
Few years later how these things changed.. sadly.
I wanna see the G's being pulled and the speed!!
The Best in 2019
Valtteri when porridge is half of at the store :
Well done Valtteri!
Hamilton: *I'm shit*
Bottas: *level 100 boss*
Ocon: *internally crying*
Hope he wins the race
1:16
bottas has the drs button on the back of the wheel?
A lot of drivers have,was even more common in the V8 era
Yes, it's optional :V
Lewis, its James. Hahahaha, this season is lit
Talk about smooth steering input.
That middle sector was immense.
As hot as the porridge James made this morning!
Please Bottas come to Besiktas
kiev 6 - 0 besiktas hahahah
Go Bottas
It would be better if we could see the live speed,and other details through the lap.
Valtteri, this is James
Lewis it's james! Please hold position
Here we go again, Merc dominating F1 👍🏼
