We need a side to side onboard comparison lap between Max and Lewis like the one they did for Zandvoort Qualifying.
AnalyticsmeetsracingF1, have on this channel
I think they did
Except max didn’t lap.
I think they did but on the live tv
Yes!!!!!!!
I feel that Lewis was a bit more careful on this lap to avoid any mistakes
To avoid Traffic too.
He may have been careful, but he was still flying! This track is scary man…
@@KC_Smooth predictable is boring, unexpected is fun, wouldn't you agree?. Personally, I think, unpredictable circumstances challenges you
@@KC_Smooth yeah, 83% of this circuit is full throttle
It's called experience! 💯
GOAT
Max was flying, but to finish first, first you have to finish.
Anthony Davidson, F1 2021
Exactly
Max already lost that lap when he missed his braking point. If he only dialed it back a bit that last sector it would have been amazing, but hindsight's always 20/20.
Quite indicative of his season really. Yeah he's had his best season yet and he's on the verge of winning the Driver's Championship, but over the course of the season Verstappen has been subject to gnawing misfortunes and I think they will cost him the title ultimately.
@@jdbruiser don't call it misfortune. he's in control of the car... he has to learn to dial it back.
I think Lewis played it safe on the following laps after he missed the apex that lead him off track. Max on the other hand on that final lap was going all out.
Exactly, i felt like lewis first sector on that lap where he did that mistake was way more on the limit than his pole lap
Yeah, i heard him hesitate on the throttle on the same part of the track.
I mean clearly he shouldn’t have been 😂 at least not in sector 3
There was traffic.
@@engineer14 exactly! In all three sectors, that circuit is still green and there was still inconsistencies in the line. I feel Maxes undoing started at the beginning and started throwing the car around and the tires didn’t like that.
Hamilton didn't send it like Max on his final lap, but still impressive as there were 4 to 5 cars that he had to avoid during his pole lap that could have easily distracted him but he still pulled it off.
Definitely he didn’t send it to the wall
Yeah, and Max crashed so I think Lewis had the right idea.
Yes, Lewis managed the moving chicanes very well.
Exactly
Well Max sending it meant driving over the limits and possibly losing the championship because of it.
I think we need Max lap, brutal AF
when he hit the wall? yeah brutal
No lol.
@@AceStrikerxXx No, when the driver is actually making the difference and not the car
I'm sure mercedes could do it too but they just play it safe but not riding the wall and end up in the wall like max lol
@@gianpierolg3563 okey xDDD
When max wins is for him
Lewis win....the CAR XD
"To finish first, you first must finish." Looks like Lewis didn't take as much risk as Max's run which wouldve smashed Lewis time had he not tagged the barrier. Absolutely loving the flow of this street circuit!
This really got me thinking about the 787B victory.
@@jannevot8515 Same with Renault R25(2005)
No he didn't take much risks but that's one thing Lewis has Verstappen doesn't have is patience! Max is reckless when he is challenged. you have to agree...
Yeah this lap is smooth .
But Max's lap was on the limits . Pushing his car to the absolute end . Sad that it ended in a disaster . If he could have finished that many would have regarded that lap as the greatest lap of this season .
@@ananthu8534 no, if max finished his lap he probably wouldnt even be on P1 since he gone wide in the last corner and therefore was very late on the throttle while lewis kept a tight line. Max lost his gains because he braked to late, even if he was in front he would ve lost it all on the straight
Lewis had slowed cars in every sector, still amazing at his age holding it completely, sometimes less is more and records continue to pile up, great effort for Max too.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. That *yellow sector* is not a coincidence.
It's amazing how he didn't back off seeing those cars ahead. Just watching, I had second-hand anxiety.
Exactly and I think it was the 4th car on 2nd sector that prevented Lewis creating a much better result. That car, for a moment I thought wouldn't get out of racing line on time.
You actin like he 80 years old
There older driver in F1 than lewis
Nerve of steel! Flying around corners with barely any visibility and slow moving cars without lifting off ! Just amazing!
Yeah when you take into consideration that a lot of these corners are blind for them and they're doing 160/200mph between walls, it's a very intense circuit. Once again these guys show that they're some of the best and bravest in the world! 👍
Its amazing how f1 managed to make Europeans enjoy oval race
Exactly at 1:05, A car is weaving in front of you when you're flat out.. Wowww. That's a fast one👌🏽
D:
Both drivers 👌
With all the traffic and cars, he still pulled off a blistering pole time. Lewis is a true champ
Absolutely, Max will be champion one day….. but he’s gotta grow up first, Lewis at 30 is a master at his craft.
Lewis Hamiltons experience is substantial.
What a GOAT
@@bugmanaussie8862 he grew up pretty quickly then
@@galactic_nerd-sk4747 Yes he did.
@chuck aule Well not really. There is a difference between stealing and earning. Thought that was fairly obvious, yet here we are...
Merc was definitely the slower car in qualifying trim. The regulations really hurt them, Lewis was fighting the car a lot.
Lewis had to pass lots of traffic on this lap but nobody has mentioned that, that is how great this lap is.
@@ronnylee1520 ok cement head.
That true
@@ronnylee1520 You’re a muppet as well imagine whizzing past multiple cars at that speed. Max had clear track and still cracked 🤣
Desi Day. I agree. This is a WDC winning lap.
@@ronnylee1520 lol. How can a car be in a Slipstream if it is not driving behind the cars. These are slow moving cars to the side.
man i so wanted to see the max lap.... it was the absolute limit
You can still watch it
Past the limit.
past the limit, into the wall.
@@overtime94 ha
@@overtime94 you got me with that one
I expected this track to be a cool one to see the cars at maximum pace and yet I'm still surprised how brilliant it was. Not many tracks can make you nervous to watch the cars at nearly every corner.
I may be wrong, but I think this is the first full lap footage they have shown besides the safety car lap. Wow. That track is intense.
So many cars he had to pass during that lap, but he still managed to get pole !!!!
Like Lewis stated, knowing when to hold back and when to go is key. We just witnessed the defending multi-world champion, something everyone forgets. There’s a reason Lewis is the best.
but he's not
For real.
Yes I think Max was holding on to a lost cause there but that's what makes him exciting. He has a flat out approach and sometimes he pays the price for it but you have to respect his commitment
@@vals5008 he is the best
@@samfields3086 agree to disagree
Wish we could have seen the w11 round here
Whoever wins the championship I hope we can all just be fans of the sport and not attack each other for who we are rooting for max and Lewis are both amazing drivers
Nobody cares
Must be a mazapin fan i see
Lol you're right, but we all know what's gona happen.
Naaa 😂😂😂
Agreed. These guys are incredible.
this track is nuts, they have to drive so close to the wall on every lap....every turn is like disaster waiting to happen. Qualies had me on the edge of my seat.
To finish first, first you must finish.
A brilliant lap under the circumstances he's racing in. He almost touched the wall several times!
and a lot of stagnant cars on track- that would put anyone off. Wonder how much faster he couldve gone with a clear track, and obviously better prepped rubber
@@deezelkane Yeah he seemed to be hesitant in the middle sector. Almost a lift when that Alpine I think it was, crossed paths with him. I think it would've been a lot closer if Lewis let it fly, but Max would've snagged pole still with such a committed lap.
I wanna see the Max’s lap than the Lewis’s lap (even if I am a Lewis’s fan)
That lap was amazing and absolutely flying
me2
Yeah I want to His mistake
flying....into the wall.
@@olgertgjermeni1592 Happens its racing
@@raeyon725 Of course but usually are not posted as great racing otherwise Maldonado would get a nice collection of these kind of "great lap until i crashed" 😉😉😉😉😉
literally lewis slowed down in the middle sector he was very catious, he passed 5 cars in whole lap, 2 carsin 1st sector, 2cars in middle and 1 in final sector, in 1st sector and middle sector cars just by inches they are moving away racing line. this lap is nuts with the traffic in hand. 🤯🤯🤯 still he pulled off 👑👑👑 other than lewis anyone would have much slowed down. 👏👏👏
lewis - what are you smilling about?
max - dude, i almost had you
lewis - it dosen't matter if you win by an inch or by a mile, winning is winning
you almost had me??? you never had me.... YOU NEVER HAD YOUR CAR
I dont know what is more pathetic the imaginary conversation you made up or the even more pathetic YOU NEVER HAD YOUR CAR which doesn't even mean anything.
@@MG-wx9ib bruh he was quoting vin diesel's character, dom from the first fast and furious movie. chill bruh, it's just a joke, dosen't have to make literal sense. sheesh
2nd race in a row we need that Max Onboard footage come on F1 lol
Verstappen is always expecting something or someone to leave him space. But the wall just showed him who the real gangster is!
Perfection
🤣🤣🤣 that sure did make me chuckle 👍
honestly wish f1 games had the exact same sound as real f1 cars like this vid . the upshift and down shift sounded amazing
Why do so many people say that Lewis' lap is worse or less impressive than Max'? I really don't get it.. Lewis was incredibly fast, he had everything under control and didn't crash. He is clearly the fastest driver on the grid, because he is the best balancing risk and reward.
Exactly. Anybody can go Banzai like Max did, but then you crash. Everyone is saying it coulda, woulda been the lap of the year. Not if you crash.
I think its because Lewis makes it look easy sometimes. Lewis could also drive flat out like Max here, but he's a lot more calculated in his approach which comes with age and experience. Obviously it's more exciting when you see a guy like Max throw caution to the wind, but Lewis thinks big picture and sometimes that's boring to fans.
All these folks coming to a video of Hamilton's masterclass lap and asking for Max's Crash because it had the 'potential' to be what exactly...? If you want to see it so bad get an f1 subscription.
Ocon getting out of the way by crossing the racing line was superbly judged by ocon
Tomorrow, Hamilton should be careful of Crashtappen in turn 1, right after the start... Lol
This aged well because crashtappen actually tried to crash into Lewis a few times
It's getting spicy. Max felt the heat and cracked!
No exuses there.
Lewis got pole with heavy trafffic even managed purple sector while passing like the GOAT he is.
Max look rattled for once... Really flustered and red in the face, but he'll bounce back today for sure. .
@@jraybay lol
@@kbzzy7376 Well then lol.
Let's admit it, Lewis can do more than this but he knew the risks and he was calculated enough. Sign of Maturity and experience right here. It's about respecting the odds. When to push it and when not. Come race day that would be the time to push push! Get in there Lewis.
We are still getting in there its been more than a year 😂
Instincs are better than calculated moves, thats why Max ate him up in the last race. Lewis was calculating and never saw that lion coming for him into that turn. It was pretty embarrassing for a 7th world champ to miscalculate so badly, I was sad when that happened
I would like to see a lap using the W11. I think that car could handle this track’s fast corners.
Ok now I definitely wanna see that
That car plants onto a track like it has roots.
Yeah some corners where he lifted or down shifted he probably wouldn't with the W11.
But can the tires handle it? There's a lot of talk about the tires overheating. 🤔
I’d like to see the W11 around a lot of tracks that weren’t on the 2020 calendar
This track may end up having an absolutely brutal accident. It's surrounded by barriers and has blind 160 mph turns. If two cars in the front just touch wheels and crash on one of those blind fliers, the whole field will be involved.
yeah the track makes me cringe, exciting racing but dangerous and alot of slow cars on his flying lap to avoid too
it's awesome
Agree, they’ll be lucky if everyone escapes unscathed from the race tomorrow…incredible exciting but incredibly dangerous. I’m not sure if the degree of danger on this circuit is warranted but we won’t know until the race is over. And if Max has to take the 5 grid penalty, he’ll be at maximum risk and danger coming through the field - Murphy’s Law is definitely going to be tested in the extreme tomorrow!!
Indeed. In today's F2 sprint 2, had Lawson's car come to rest in the centre of the track he would have been t-boned horribly. Circuit is dangerous af. Exciting, but very dangerous.
This circuit is too dangerous for F1. Just waiting for a Raidillion style incident.
Who's there after checo pole??
Hamilton deserves pole because of all the traffic he had ahead of him compared to Max’s last lap. Glad Max wasn’t hurt, but i bet his angry dad will give him a right ear full, which will be painful!
Max had a choice how to react to his lock up mistake, with so much time in hand, lift off and make the corner and still make it on pole or the front row *or* gas it and go for pole...
... he doesn't know when to quit and went for the latter.
With the lock up he had lost pole (he was 2 tenths up) but maybe could have gotten P2 or P3 but without the anxiety of a possible broken gearbox or the car being off for some reason tomorrow.
@@BNOVA Yeah there's not a lot of top flight drivers that would've done what he did. Usually when they've slid off they concede and call it a day. It's what makes max exciting though. Have to respect his commitment
I came from the future to say that Max broke this record, bye
Lewis must do a super start tomorrow. Collisions will be a lot, I hope for not any serious crashes
Great "complete" lap Lewis 😉
Jos Verstappen is that you?
Max today: 1:27.472 🔥🔥
NEW TRACK RECORD 🔝🔝🔝
petition to bring the w11 here I wanna see what it can do
No F2004 too?
Hamilton in qualifying for the 2021 Jeddah race: P1
Hamilton in qualifying for the 2022 Jeddah race: (out in) Q1
Absolutely beautiful. A Masterclass on how to drive on the edge, with so much on the line.
Yes
My favorite part was when he didn't crash :)
The warrior 44 is always cut for perfection. A man you can bank on.
Big picture approach today 👏 Max will rebound for sure but it helps to have track position
Lewis ò il più grande pilota che sia mai esistito nella storia della formula 1. Leggenda vivente.
Who is here after Hungary Qualifying ?
Been a long time yeeeeeee
Me
Look how he fighting with steering... Amazing drive!
Who's here after Hungary 2022 ? ❤️❤️🐐
🙋♂️ Heil
The onboards look amazing at this track. So quick.
His avg speed was exactly 254 km/h which is 157.8 mph. That's 5 km/h (or 3.1 mph) faster than 2020 Spa's pole lap which I belive is the fastest ever lap around the Belgian circuit.
Best lap of the day 😁
In fact, the greatest lap ever at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix
Considering he had some traffic, that was a great lap.
The pressure is getting to Verstappen.
Hopefully Lewis wins the title!
On this lap Lewis was lucky to avoid the car in front that literally crossed the track from left to right. Scary. This is happening at an average speed in excess of 200 mph.
Average speed of over 200? Complete waffle
Anyone here after max broke the record in 2024
Who cares you mikey fan
Nope
There was a lot of traffic there he did brilliant
I could certainly drive faster than both max and lewis but will certainly hit the wall on turn 1 .it is a combination of speed and control that makes them pros. Lewis could certainly be faster but he knows he has to maintain control. so no excuses for max who wanted to go faster but then lost control
Agree
If Max didn't have control he would have crashed on sector 1🤡
@@kannamustafa6043 Well the OP said "lost control" meaning that he had control at one point - sector 1 and 2 - and then he didn't.
I can drive faster than both.......... On my playstation 😎 lol. This track really showed how brave and skilled these guys are, joking aside.
How does he keep his foot in it through all that traffic.. I'd have a heart attack! Very smooth lap!
2024 beat 2021 lap
This ... shuts down entirely all those non race car drivers who say "Naaw ... I could do that, not so hard".
If you know one of those, send them this video and ask them if they still think so.
Definitely the track that weeds out those, that do not belong.
Hard to compare this lap with the lap Max crashed on, Lewis had a lot of traffic which limited the space that he could use.
Lewis showed Max how to drive.
Congrats Champion 👏
Max is New Record?
yes, he did 1.27.424
PATRÃO TA ON 🇧🇷🏁
MANNNN I didn't notice he has SO MUCH TRAFFIC!!!!
This is even more IMPRESSIVE!!
Plus people seem to forget that Redbull was the quickest car ON SOFTS all this day long ( Free Practice and Quali). Mercedes in the other end was Horrendous in SOFT but the quickest in HARD.
This is really an Impressive Lap from Lewis. Woww
as a fan I love watching this track , this is may be the only track where you can feel the speed through the tv lol 😂
Awesome had a serious moment the previous lap n this one with cars dotted about the place consistency n experience the key to championships great stuff
My neck hurts just watching them go round the corners!
Please post Max’s last lap
Yeah I want to see his mistake
@@Masterleechan you can see it in the quali highlights, there’s an onboard of his crash. Locked up the front left and drifted out to the wall
@@Masterleechan It’s not about the crash, it’s about his driving in the first half which was beyond insanity (in a positive way)
I mean it’s not a lap if he doesn’t finish 🤷🏼♀️ but yeah the first 2 sectors flew
@@Eowyn126 Technically yes, but everyone gets what I wanted to say
best track on the calendar
the car kinda sounds like a monster in some parts
Super fã de Lewis Hamilton 👏👏👏
👏👍
The king of Formule1 sir Lewis Hamilton knows how to drive man,He's the man,come on 😃
He was weaving through traffic like he was late on a work day 😆. Amazing drive!
Lets see Max’s full lap onboard …
They posted his crash in last corner you can watch that..
@@filippetrus9228 HAHAHAHA
We can't, the footage is stuck in the wall just like he was LOL!
No lol.
pulled up before the line, not a full lap
We need Max 100%, a side-by-side return prediction
And he's done it again in 2023 at the Hungaroring!
about that
Hey Formula 1 channel, would it be possible to also include telemetry on those qualy laps?
I mean, we know they are fast, but watching the speed in numbers would be very much appreciated!
Here after Checo's pole in Jeddah 2022
2021- 1:27.5 vs 2022- 1:28.2
Its 2nd race and the 2022 cars are already within a second (although this track suits the ground effect cars, still...)
Hamilton é muito brabo na pista!!! 🇧🇷
Difficult post, no errors....Hailton congratulations!!!
Is it a bird, Is it a plane NO! It's a GOAT on pole.
This lap is so underrated! Look at the traffic he had!
Lewis è il più grande pilota che sia mai esistito nella storia della formula 1. Leggenda vivente.
I wouldn’t have thought that I would ever be sad to not see Hamilton on top anymore… How time changes
Don't worry, next year the car will be even better! Keep your head up!
Yeah it’s crazy seeing him dominate to suddenly finishing P4 or P5 at almost every race
@@shax232 *p2
Nice job for keeping cool. Understatement of the weekend!
Love this guy's driving your always be my GOAT whatever happens, keep it up idol.
Max expected the wall to give him space.
Your'e right about that cause you will notice he was driving very close to the wall after each turn.
W12 GRIP 🥵🥵🥵
W11 still better, W12 was slightly nerfed due regulations in the first half of the season. These regulations played into Red Bulls hands.
Wow, I can't imagine driving that fast on such a tight course.
man just knows what he’s doing
Did you see how Hamilton handled that last corner? Experience does matter. Max is great and he's a quick learner.
Havent you seen how many times Lewis made a mistake in this weekend? Not sure about experience there
In 2 Minutes Or Less. Verstappen potentially is a great driver but keeps making the same mistakes.
@@RafaHuel New track, but after he got used to the track all the experience helps
@@RafaHuel yeah but he is not ended up in the wall, THATS EXPERIENCE..
@@RafaHuel he made mistakes but he was perfect when it mattered, unlike Max who binned it when it was most important.
Perfect balance
He drive fast but safe, but the key here is the traffic
a superpole style format might be something worth looking at for tracks like this, nothing serious has happened yet thankfully but the risk of something big happening is higher with all these slowing cars.
