@@idk90a1 You probably already know by now but i'm gonna tell you anyway. Ferrari in 2019 managed to bypass fuel flow rate sensors to pump more fuel into the cylinders and increase power. They we're able to do this because of the frequency at which the sensors we're measuring how much fuel was flowing into the engine, the frequency at which it checked wasn't random (it was the same interval all the time) so they just pumped more fuel when the sensors weren't checking. Near the end of the season the FIA clarified this grey-area and said it wasn't allowed and was considered cheating, so for the remaining races Ferrari's pace dropped dramatically and they didn't have the straight-line speed they had before.

Nico vs Hamilton at Bahrain is not only one of the best battle of hybrid era but it is a top contender for greatest battle of all time.... It was lit. 💯
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.
I can't imagine how infuriating it must be for Bottas to have Hamilton be the golden boy all the time, and to give up his own victories for Hamilton's sake
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.

@@skillerboy984 Not at all, I can't stand Hamilton. Just my own personal opinion. Sadly I knew it would be conveyed in the wrong way.
I miss Nico Rosberg so much, you don't realise what you have until you lose it
Don't worry we got Bottas 9999.0
Yall called rosberg a coward now u want him back?
True but I think Rosberg wouldn’t have a Chance against this Hamilton.
From 2014-2016 Hamilton was making many mistakes. Now he’s barely making any anymore.
You mean when team orders werent a thing yet..
@@duykhanhle99 he makes that one silly mistake but yeah this Hamilton is very strong 💪🏻
Lewis: For those who do not know me, now you do!
A few moments earlier: "Valtteri its James, Please hold position"
The Nico vs Lewis fights were simply magnificent!
I pretty much knew that was going to be no 1 before clicking the video lol
@@Bahamuttiamat I meant their battles in general not specifically this one
This channel should be named: Formula Hamilton
So much great duels from ‘17 and ‘18 with seb and ricc
Exactly,formula 1 constantly shows how anti Vettel they are , take for example 2017 Spain the way he got past bottas , Martin brundle really aged that down by saying if he hadn't made the move he woilve complained but if ham made that move ,they'd say it's the best move in the history of F1☠️
Well all the great battles have lewis in it sorry dude but it’s true you don’t need to be salty
@@siddharthatmaram2987 Thats correct. It happens with any Vettel or Hamilton situation. Its the same thing when Vettel spins (everybody laughes) but when Hamilton spins its assumed that there is an issue with the car. Very anti-Vettel
Did you not read the title of the video?
no the video was just incorrectly titled to start
Mercedes-"Great racing Nico".
Nico-"And then someone should tell that the sport is boring".
F1- "That'll shut the critics up".
In none of those shots there was a car nearby though
@@NamanKhatwanifind it dosen't matter. Best fights are one on one multi-corner duels.
@@achintyaaatreya I agree. I just meant that it was still one constructor dominance rather than wdc battles where multiple drivers were competitive
@@NamanKhatwanifind yeah you have a point. It's great to see my fellow countrymen interested in F1 rather than cricket.
Surprised not to see Max and Charles in Silverstone on here, what a battle that was
Because no one of them was leading the grand prix
How many times has Lewis Battled in the Hybrid Era
Lewis Hamilton: Hold my 8/10 appearances in the top 10
James was the best guy in the grid. He make Hamilton win a lot of times.
I mean... when you are one of two drivers in the most dominant car ever made, it's not unreasonable to think that you'd be one of two people battling for the lead, no?
compare his on track battles for Mercedes with his on-track battles for McLaren.
@@raynefear when did Hamilton drive the McLaren MP4/4 in anger?
@@raynefear only dominant due to the driver yea?
that hamilton vs rosberg in bahrain really was legendary🔥🔥🔥

that coud have happened this year in silverstone aswell the first lap was just amazing
I feel Kimi's lead defence from Ves and Ham in US grand prix, '18, should have been in this top 10 list. He really defended the lead throughout the race with his experience.
Yeah.... this video has to be updated after 2021 season...
Fun Fact: It's a top 10 because they don't have more battles for the lead in this era
Sad, but unfortunately true.
True xD

We clearly understand that this is a English Channel
Yea I really hate team orders. Just let them race and may the best man win.

2014-16 was one of the most fiercest teammate rival title fights I've seen in my life
Senna Prost?
I was expecting 10 Mercedes drivers fighting each other.
And James winning every time
Sorry Toto
Toto it’s James please hold position I’m sorry
I'm lucky to watch all these legendary battles
No toto u will not have the drink

Well that is practical since he has fought the most for the lead!! (Leave Valtteri it's James though)

Yes!!!!!!
Couldn't agree more
Some hate right here
This is almost completely irrelevant list after The Legendary season of 2021. Absolutely unbelieveble season

chills everytime
his win in monza was very unfair imo

@@fayebster it was a racing incident.
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.
?
True
The German GP - “Valtteri, it’s James”
His comment that he did it all on his own is a lie. Bottas would’ve passed if the Mercs didn’t give team orders
That’s always the case with “sir” Hamilton
Sir Hamilton
The Lewis x Rosberg at Bahrein looks like theres just those two on track
Cause they were 30sec ahead of the pack
Bahrain*
They were
"Valterri, it's James"
*pain*
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
I know right ?
yeah like 2018 Silverstone, Spain 2017, China 2018 against Ric and a few more
this channel and F1 in general seems to be a bit biased against vettel, since he was the one who actually fought their golden british boy for a championship in the last decade

@@xavier4519 I think ,after the magic words f... Charlie.
9:31 Crofty with some big bars! Sounds like a banger!
2:44 I can see Rosberg saying in his mind: "Well, here we go again"
"No team order from the team mercedes !!!!"
James: ehm
Wow!!! Hamilton's battle with the team orders made top 10. Well deserved.
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 ?
6:53 i love how hulk was watching the battle and needed to take an escape route too
That last bit with Nico and Hamilton… great aggressive racing and yet great sportsmanship
It's great racing and ya love to see it
"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."
Shows what a hypocrite Hamilton is.
thats wound me up a bit too, yeah we know you now, as the benefactor from most team orders
He came from 14th on the grid to 1st lol
So he’s never benefited from team orders? In any race ever? Cause he came from 14th to 2nd and then let through to win?
@@laney147 Team orders happen, for the most part you're gaining one position from it. Starting 14th and beating the rival team who started 1st and 3rd is still impressive.
Corrected title: Here’s a Hamilton and Verstappen compilation.
Leclerc is a beast
I'm not complaining about that, sounds amazing and hopefully we'll see more Verstappen vs Hamilton in 2021
Very true.😏

Crazy how we are 2 races into 2022 and this list should already have 2 new entries for the top 10 battles.
Better title for the video:
Top 10 times Hamilton had to work a little harder than normal
Vettel and Ferrari in 2018 were a joy to watch most of the season. But sadly in the end they both bottled it. I felt so bad for Seb. Especially in Hockenheim.
F1: best battle of f1 hybrid era
Me: best battle of lewis hamilton against other drivers
Agree with you mate
It's always Lewis vs whoever has the best pace of everyone else that weekend. Which is most often the other mercedes...
@@evanquigley8964 That says it's the car if everyone had the same car built to suit his driving style no one would be a 7 time champ.
@@PM-sh1jz so how did Russle do so well is the 44 car?? Merc have been on top since the start of the hybrids no arguments there is the best team biggest budget any driver on the grid would win in that car
And he looses the most battles when his opponents don't have to let him go
Edit
Hamilton is just overrated af. Everyone can win with this car
Best video you guys made. Who ever mixed this deserves a raise... music.. camera angles... great work F1.
Nico vs Hamilton at Bahrain is not only one of the best battle of hybrid era but it is a top contender for greatest battle of all time.... It was lit. 💯
Battles for the lead in the hybrid era:
- faster car approaches
- faster car turns DRS on
- battle over
Not in this top
Nope, thats not happening this year mate
@@wahyudyatmika5119 This year been an absolute joy to watch!!
Overtakes made of cardboard like hamilton's championships and records
@@MrCresc why u crying
men that illegal engine on leclercs ferrari in 2019 monza gp was a beast.
Its the truth you understood it:)
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.
Just realised that Bottas has been driving for Mercedes for 5 Seasons!
Time flies!
And he actually has the all-time record for the most consecutive Q3 appearances
3:01 I guess Red Bull really gives you wings
Haha because of that helicopter shadow. Great optical illusion 😅
I can't imagine how infuriating it must be for Bottas to have Hamilton be the golden boy all the time, and to give up his own victories for Hamilton's sake
Hopefully he ignores team orders this year since it will be his last.
@@Gl-my8fw too bad he didn't break team orders when Mercedes had the fastest car by far. Its too late for him to be a championship contender now
@@bone9jdjkaye yeah but he wouldnt be in f1 still if he had disobeyed orders earlier
@@Gl-my8fw but does he really want to be in f1 as a wingman 🤔. Would Bottas rather constantly be 2nd or have a shot for a title?
@@Gl-my8fw he's planning to, that's why they sabotaged his tires in monaco
I guess there’s a new battle added today, What a race!
The whole season could be added there!
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.
