Bottas’ communications skills is on another level. It’s not just his command of language nor his fluency. I mean, he knows how to relate the actual sensation to his listeners. Should this man be giving lectures or telling stories or coaching, I’m all ears.
Yes most people just day o it's great or hard or some simple words but describing things so other people can understand takes work
Exactly!
Formula 1 Driving Masterclass™
Almost at the same level as Kimi
I agree, I like Lewis but his interviews tend to be more of a performance. Valteri explains in a clear simple manner and a very nice pace
That drift from Bottas though, work of art
Oh my god yes - How awesome was that - I was thinking the same -
Hahaha you should watch gilles villeneuve drift 1982 long beach gp that was a real drift

"Monaco is a very punishing track, there are no run-off areas."
That is basically the only one 😂
Lmao
@@ryanokeefe12 There's always that guy who can't take a joke and needs to explain how it really works. Dude relax its just some jokes, most of us know what a real run-off area looks like.

Nice to see bottas and his engineer have a spotlight . Great explanation of the track and the work effort that goes in to get through the weekend
Appreciate the kind comment 🙏

Hey Mercedes-AMG could I possibly get a steering wheel replica
@@10poundsimracing14 those wheels cost 10k if your willing to pay for it go ahead
I just love how Mercedes-AMG Petronas spends so much time teaching the fan base how to fully appreciate the sport. This team is AWESOME!💯
Awesome comment
Legendary team
they are soulless and lack personality. this is just them pretending
Nearly as awesome as Red Bull
Doing all of this in the F1 game means you'll be in a wall quickly
Na it’s just muscle memory it’s easy to use the MFD without looking on a wheel
I usually simulate Monaco as it's not fun and a headache.
I took Monaco off the calender in my game. On a controller it feels near impossible to get around the hairpin without a thousand flashbacks.
@@matthewslates I used to play f1 2014 on the keyboard 💀💀
Monaco is soo challenging I love it
I mean, how can you not like this guy? Totally deserves all the honors
I don't even watch F1 races, I'm just fascinated by the sport, ever since watching that Netflix series. There are so many interesting things about it: It's peak performance, entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, adrenaline rushes, high-stakes work, ruthless competition, and death-defying danger, all wrapped up into one. No other sport or hobby like it!
Right? I’ve been binging the Netflix series and haven’t watched an actual race but the cars and engineering on the cars itself fascinate me. It’s like racing fighter jets on the ground within inches of each other
A sport that few can participate. It's Big but the public can not be engaged with the sport fully.
The Netflix show is a reality TV show, the audio is heavily edited to make it entertaining. I highly recommend people watch the actual races and qualifying, even the practice sessions can be exciting to watch. I love that DTS has got so many people into the sport but I also hope people understand this is a professional sport, not a reality TV show.
the netflix show does not represent f1 well at all.

Me: *single press Overtake and goes full heroics into Sainte-Devote*
LMFAO
Damn, that donut was soo cool from VB 🖤
Very cool video, would love to see this also on other "easier" tracks to have a comparison as to how much Workload that actually is.
As always incredible content, keep it up guys!
Good idea!
Could imagine Austria or Monza being not that influenced by the workload. Though challenging in different areas (heavy curbs in Austria and very high speed in Monza). Also i dont know how many hange you do at spa. As the first and the third sector are long straight where you can somewhat rest.
As Palmer said "yOu hAvE tO be AleRt oN a StReEt tRacK"
Exactly.

@@MercedesAMGF1 Can u pls explain to me what is differential and what do rotary dials do plssssssssssssss reply plsssss
@@yogeshvartak199 Differential affects the speed of the rotation of rear wheels. If you unlock the differential you'll allow the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds and if you lock it you force the rears to rotate at the same speed, each is beneficial for different corners on a circuit to maximise speed on exit . I can't explain exactly what the rotary dials do though
@@milanzukuma7243 Ya thank u but I wanted a reply from merc so asked this question😅Anyways,thank u

F1 drivers during Monaco GP pitstops: "Debatable"
Always nice to hear from Valtteri! One of the best guys on the grid.
Can we all just appreciate what happened at 1:50? This maneuver is not easy, and was executed beautifully. These guys are as elite as they come.
You felt like you had to tell viewers what they should like/pay attention to? lol
Thank you Riki, Valterri, great video! Honestly wish you did this at every track, its really nice getting a better perspective and understanding of what the drivers have to do. Im actually stunned how Valterri can say Monaco is the most mentally demanding and yet hes still ultra competitive, making it seem almost effortless. My first Monaco GP, lets go!
Poor Bottas wish his race didn’t end like that.
I agree. He is one very unlucky driver!
@@remkojerphanion4686 At Monaco every driver us unlucky lol
Well he got a personal video of him and his experience on the race out of it, so not a lose lose after all
Bottas - What the U turn you took.. wowo- That was Awesome..
Thank you Valtteri for taking the time to share your thoughts on what important things you consider during a lap. And thank you Mercedes for putting together this video.
Their mental condition is no less than a fighter pilot
Respect for all racers
To all the people who say "it's just driving a car" or "it's just driving around in circles"... this video proves them all wrong!
@@MercedesAMGF1 absolutely I agree
F1 is nearly equal to a Fighter Jet cockpit
@@TheDiecastPhotographer Far from, flying fighters is more about information handling in ever changing scenarios where you have to maintain situational awareness whilst flying and managing the plane without getting overloaded, not so much about settings. /Pilot

Wow, what a lovely comment, thanks! 🙏
can we just appreciate the channel for replying to almost all the comments. damn kudos to you all!!!
keep slaying the podiums. the Team deserves it
The irony
1:49 was actually pretty cool. Sometimes they come to a complete stop before doing that
VB is a donut king, to be honest
@@MercedesAMGF1 we saw this in Turkey

1:49 was sick man. So effortless
I was studying and as soon as I saw the notification, I asked my Thermodynamics notebook to wait 😂
Superb video from Mercedes as always ❤️
😂
I'm French, so it's difficult for me to understand every Formula One's videos in English... but this video is so clear !! I understood all the explanations :)
Merci beaucoup pour ce contenu de qualité hihi
Merci! 😊
The depth of talent in the Silver Arrows team continues to impress. Great explanations from Valtteri.
Man that is a lot of things to remember during the race regarding the wheel. Very impressive what these drivers do
Bottas is the opposite of Kimi. One wants to express every feeling, emotion and experience and the other just wants his drincc.
dont forget gloves and steering wheel!
bwoah
@@EfficientTrout Someone, give this man an icecream
Kimi was a centennial talent. In his peak, Schumi didn’t want him to Ferrari, 2005 and 2006, and then Alonso, the Spanish bus driver, 2009. When he came back and was 3rd with Lotus (!!) in the Championship, that is something which tells everything. Just leave me alone…
This new content from Mercedes is so good!!
Nice and early at just 13 seconds. Keep up the great content. Though I'm a L44 fan, it's still nice to see Bottas having his moments in the limelight.
Thanks for being early and for the kind words on the piece! 😊
What do you mean "it's still nice"? It's always nice to listen to Valteri.
That was fantastic! Valtteri would make a great professor!
Going 200mph through a tunnel where it’s dark half of the way? Much respect to you gents!!
Don't forget heavy braking
Such mad props to these guys! I know these guys are busy when racing but when you get to hear from the drivers themselves, its insane what they have to do!
will we get another good driver from Finland?
Great seeing you guys putting out so much good content as of late. Gives us viewers some really good perspective and more insight of how it is to drive and operate an F1 car. Great work from the greatest team in Formula 1 ever.
Wow, this is such a kind and lovely comment, thank you so much 😊
3:38 You can see the smile start to creep in as he remembers how cool of a job he has and how tough it can be
I see a Mercedes video and I click 'like' before watching it. You guys are brilliant as always :)
Thank you 🙏
That 360 from Valterri...! God! That was so good! He is a Finn afterall! 😂🔥
Very tricky to do, especially on a street track in a narrow run-off area!
Um, that was a 180 . . .
@@MercedesAMGF1 you snoze, you lose
I’ve always felt that Bottas would be a great friend to have. He seems like such a humble, kind, and just all round nice guy. I’m glad he’s still got a drive and he seems to be enjoying life a bit more this year 🙂
All this work and not even taking into account other drivers present on track. Having to avoid them or overtake them. Amazing work!
Yep, so alongside actually driving the car there's also everything else going on around them!
We've seen track guides n hot real and sim laps from many drivers but it would be interesting to see a lap in slo-mo talking through every action the driver makes re steering wheel control adjustments (brake balance, diff etc) in addition to shifting, accelerating, braking, driving line. Not necessarily Monaco but one of the tracks that requires more input than most...
This is a great educational content to allow viewers understand how complex it is to race a F1 car, and have them think twice in the future before criticizing a driver's error......even 1 corner, there are probably multiple settings to tweak and eye and attention still need to be on the race track and apex...etc...
I can barely keep up with the buttons on my PS controller...wow!
Wow I never thought that Monaco is a 7 gear race. I thought going down the start finish straight that the drivers might go up to 8th gear. This whole video was great and very much insightful. Thanks Mercedes
Mercedes are very nice. They reply to the people's coments instead of the other teams not replying. And also LH44 Will win the 8th title
Another example of how Mercedes bring the fans closer to race day. Great stuff.
That drift from Bottas was lit. That was some driving skills.
something about the onboard footage in this video looks so much more raw and fast, not sure if it's the camera perspective but I definitely prefer it to what we get on broadcasts!
Its because its so narrow. You dont habe many circuits where you hab just a few centimeters to the wall the whole lap.
Every other team : Write that down! Write that down!! 😅😂
😂
"Its just the car" they say. These drivers live on the limits and not crashing is insane. I imagine HAM has an inner sense and feel for what the car should do - and he would extract the best time in any car.
Nice to finally see Valtteri's race engineer and hear about how he thinks about things.
I miss Monaco Grand Prix so much, I can't wait.
VB drifting in Monaco is the coolest thing you'll see today.
1:47 Ok that was really smooth
2:16 We miss him too 🙏🏻. Keep on the good work
Valtteri's beard suggests he's getting ready for some winning.
After playing the F1 games, I have to say I am severely impressed.
Best to compare how I imagine a real F1 race is probably... Imagine you run a triathlon. While you run, swim or drive, you have to constantly solve riddles and rubics cubes, while dodging arrows flying towards you.
Seriously guys, your work is impressive and highly underappreciated by the public. The drivers just drive, or don't they?
I would have loved a full lap with Bottas comments on all the adjustments he made
Still a great video
Maybe one for next year 😜
I love to see something similar for every track. The Circuit Stats graphic is especially interesting. Mr. Bottas is an excellent presenter.
Bottas has been so under appreciated at Mercedes. He is a legend and a great driver.
I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy watching F1. But I’m definitely impressed with what these drivers do. It’s incredible.
"It's a slow track, 290 KMH"
They just flexing on the speed of F1 cars.
I've long been of the opinion that you don't drive these F1 cars, you pilot them. That workload is immense, us mere mortals would have no chance!
Looking forward to Monaco 2021 😃
After watching the video.... i've learned something and nothing at the same time
'something' about F1 and 'nothing' that will in any way affect your life x
Your channel is so good I discovered it some days ago and it's always clear, even for non native English, engineers take the time to speak "slowly". Thank you for the content it's very interesting and well done, no doubt why you are World Champions!
Great video!
They are all super humans, for sure. Good one Mercedes, thanks 👍🏻
You watch one onboard lap of Senna driving in monaco, manual shifting, fighting with the car, sometimes taking the corner with one hand, and you instantly know. All these dials on the wheel, all these settings, hocus pocus..i couldn't give a flying F. Then go back, and watch another Senna lap.
I hear what you say, but who is going faster?
I never knew how complicated and insane driving a racing a formula 1 car was. Monaco is so small and the street is so narrow. All this time I thought it was just 3 pedals lol. Thank you for educating someone who doesn't know anything about racing. :)
Still mad how they keep control over so many things at those speeds
Amazing what F1 drivers have to do to stay competitive; superhuman capabilities.
Love these videos MercedesAMGF1
Can't wait for the race!
I can't wait for qualifying, I can wait for the race
@@callumparker3293 🤡
Thank you Netflix for doing F1 documentary series. I have become big F1 fan because of that. Now I’ve been watching these videos for non stop
mercedes be answering everyone lmao
We need more of these videos in future!

Mercedes never disappoints❤️
Meanwhile here I am trying to finish a lap with a front wing...
Finally a video with a Mercedes driver who talks about F1 driving and not politics
How many laps before Mazepine puts it into a wall?
? 0 laps...
I wonder if there's ever a danger in Monaco of the drivers getting tunnel vision? Their field of vision is already constrained, then the brake and turn in indicators don't move, and with the high barriers and fences... Or is the danger more a split second loss of concentration on a circuit where you get 3 seconds of a "rest" is the biggest challenge? Love these videos, a view into the elements fans never get to see which just grow the love for the sport more. Well done Mercedes.
What I will never understand is how they do all of this while constantly screaming. I mean, I know would be screaming so I assume they do too.
It’s things like this that give me an even Greater appreciation of the sport
This straight up debunks the myth that men can’t multitask 😂
Bottas' Engineer: We need you to warm up the back tires if you can.
Bottas: does a donut in runoff
Bottas' Engineer: That'll do
"Get in there bottas! Well done mate!"
Wanna here that
Yeah, about that...
1:47 that is some sick move! what a save
- Pilots now days: Pushing buttons like an octopus.
- A.Senna: why do you need buttons? *Hold my caipirinha*
Love listening to the drivers breakdown a track like this
definitely wanna see more bottas commentary in videos w the guys
These are the videos I need when I’m bored!
Thank you Mercedes😄
Glad you like them!
What does the bw button do??
Gutted for you and the team after todays events... tnx's for the video...
Seeing this just makes me even more concerned for everyone safety with Mazespin racing at Monaco. I pray he doesn't hurt someone.
Wow! I love those little details fans didn't know about.
Damn all this and Hamilton still dominates respect 🙏
Excited for another 14th place finish from buttass!
Daily reminder that it was Hamilton's fault.
Ericsson's fault
Wow!! Always wanted to know this. Can't get any better. Thanks Merc!!
Another 1-2 finish coming up!
Use me as a “we love Bottas” button
Best f1 team channel so much information they provide us
Thank you
