Man I regret missing the live action of this session. Rain+ Racing after 5 Years= Unpredictability and excitement. Mark my words, this whole weekend is gonna be fun and exhilarating to watch.
Great Drive by all Three. To me the Rain certainly brings out and shows the Best of Driver skills. Thought Alonso did amazing and then Hamilton topped him only For Norris to smash it!! Where was Max again 😂
@@markwalton8644 Max is on top of the standings and why u ask where he is again? i didn`t see Hamilton or Alonso in the last years winning races or championships
@@betrunkener_barkeeper9355 Max is an amazing driver no question but he's also been helped a lot by the fact that his car is a rockship, in this Qualy skill made the difference and we saw the more experienced drivers on the field take the lead, and Lando did an amazing job
@@marcofava Skill didn't make the difference. What made the difference is the fact that the guys in front of Max didn't have anything to lose, as they aren't driving for the championship and went all-in for there moment of glory.
He's such a great talent, hence why I'm never going back to German commentary. It's like you're listening in on a nursing home by comparison. Night & day.
I mean I know that China has the "Year of the Dragon" this year, but literally having the track's grass on fire is kinda insane. Also insane to see how rain changes everything, especially when it's SQ3/Q3.
Always in the rain we see the real talented drivers come on top. So exciting to watch!! I would like f1 with all the time rain tbh lol field is so much closer.
@@EmilAhvenainenYeah he was. On his previous lap which was deleted, Norris was 2.2 seconds faster than Piastri, 6 tenths faster than Perez and 1.5 seconds faster than Alonso 💀. He was faster than anyone by 2 tenths through the first sector and 5 tenths through the middle sector on his pole lap.
I feel like whenever it is rain, you can really tell who is the best driver. You don't have the speed of the car carrying you, it is the skill of the driver that is dependant on the performance. Interesting to see the results then.
@@ginalley Basically when you exceed track limits near the end on a lap before, and you gain an advantage by doing so your next lap time is not valid(Since you could technically run very wide to get the most traction and most max speed for the main straight). But since both of them ran wide into gravel and lost time FIA decided not to punish it.
@@ginalley usually, if all four tyres leave the track at the last corner before your next lap, then that lap and the next lap will be deleted because you can argue that you gain an advantage when preparing for the next lap if you leave the track. McLaren argued that Lando didn’t gain any advantage, as the last corner landed him in the gravel, which slows you down. So the FIA reinstated his final lap.
@@elcactusdelamuerte506 But also they've been slow. This is the highest Sauber has qualified this season. Prior to this, the highest Valtteri qualified was 13th and Zhou 17th.
@@elcactusdelamuerte506 Exactly none of it has to do with the rain. It was dry through the very end of SQ2 with Valtteri sitting in 7th place. It's literally in the video we're commenting on, brother.
@@burritoomg yeah it’s not like it rained after fp1 making the little data they had meaningless or a few cars behind messed up their first lap in Q2 with the rain preventing them from having another shot…oh wait Also love how you ignore the lack of data part as if drivers never racing at this track before, track alterations and completely new cars played no role 😂 what someone who grew up racing on this track and a guy with multiple podiums and a pole position here did better than guys who’d never even visited the venue who would of guessed?
@@DarkWater4EvaBut the lap was valid, he didn’t exceed track limits on his pole lap AND the event notes clearly delineate that ONLY the lap in which the driver exceeded track limits should be deleted, not the following lap.
@@manavkumar6590but it is normally deleted for the following lap too if the limits are exceeded on final corner, because you can open the throttle more by taking a wider line which means he carries more speed down the straight. Impossible to argue too because he improved lap time on both laps. It's standard for that to happen, which is why they removed both lap times in the first place. Even all the spectators and the commentators were expecting this. It's actually MORE sus that they initially took it away like they should have and THEN put it back. Had they not taken it, they could be more like "oops, soz we didn't notice" but they did so, yeah. Stewards making up rules last second again
@@grandmasterj5 Yeah well it wasn’t specified in the rules for this race weekend. Deal with it. What are you going to say next? The FIA pre-empted Norris’ pole position and exclusively deleted the extra provision stating the lap following a track limits violation should be deleted so he could keep his pole? Can they predict the future now?
@@grandmasterj5 but Norris got yellow first and second sectors which means that he did not gain an advantage for going off track in the last turn proceeding to his pole lap.
En condiciones normales sale a flote el auto, en condiciones extremas sale a flote el piloto. No es sorpresa ver a Nor, Ham y Alo quedando en podio. Bravo!
Perhaps he kept his car for a dry setup and not changed for a rain setup, because they will have to do the race with the same setup of qualification and it may be dry then.
ironic how you bring up driver skill now when in the past, Max Verstappen was more often than not the one who profited the most from car performance no longer being as deciding of a factor. remember Brazil 2016, Hockenheim 2019, Suzuka 2022...
@@zulfarisekapermata3056 no, his car has less downforce to have a hope of defending on the 1.2km straight, not that DRS is that powerful on these cars, but this straight in China is unusually long, so, remember that he is usually in front, so no DRS, hence his driving in rainy conditions will be more difficult than for the rest, who anticipate DRS usage and set the car up accordingly - these are the "tiny" differences which end up making big difference Verstappen is not a machine, he's a natural talent

Norris is an absolute beast of a driver. Hamilton, Alonso and Verstappen showed why they are the world champions on the grid. What mastery and control by the three greats of the game.
Perez was on for a pole too He was on pole for first 2 attempts Messed up his last pole attempt bcz of his race engineer No other driver could do perez's lap time for 2 laps that Checo did for his 1st lap where everybody went off track like anything
Hello new viewer welcome to F1. You should watch previous seasons where Max was competitive in a Toro Rosso as a 17 year old, won a race with Red Bull on debut as an 18 year old, pushed the Mercs in a inferior car in 2020 and won the championship in 2021 in a car that wasn’t the fastest all seasons. Thank you and enjoy your learning experience.
Qualifying in such conditions levels out car performances to some degree and reflects the driver skills. Not supirised to see Hamilton and Alonso so high on the grid, but Norris on another level.
@@Dishanta_Goswamiso was oscar piastri and zhou but zhou put his best quali all season here, and Piastri did extremely well considering they're bad at low speed corners

@@Pretencyrain is luck anyone can win or lose
And no surprise that the old guard, Hamilton and Alonso, finish top 3
Norris is an absolute beast of a driver. Hamilton, Alonso and Verstappen showed why they are the world champions on the grid. What mastery and control by the three greats of the game.
Perez was on for a pole too
He was on pole for first 2 attempts
Messed up his last pole attempt bcz of his race engineer
No other driver could do perez's lap time for 2 laps that Checo did for his 1st lap where everybody went off track like anything
Norris ...beast.....LOL...
What verstappen showed is that he is carried by his car
@@03056932Took him 3 attempts before he could even complete a clean lap.
Hello new viewer welcome to F1. You should watch previous seasons where Max was competitive in a Toro Rosso as a 17 year old, won a race with Red Bull on debut as an 18 year old, pushed the Mercs in a inferior car in 2020 and won the championship in 2021 in a car that wasn’t the fastest all seasons. Thank you and enjoy your learning experience.
Insane qualifying session 😍
Rain makes F1 so much more exciting!
Now we know who's better when it rains. You can surely test your patience in wet conditions.
So satisfying to see all the bottom 5 cars with same color
wow..Really exciting tbh!!!
That F1 Sprint Qualifying is wild. Grassfire + Wet Conditions + Race Control is confused about the time sheets.
Qualifying in such conditions levels out car performances to some degree and reflects the driver skills. Not supirised to see Hamilton and Alonso so high on the grid, but Norris on another level.
Danny Ric ahead of Tsunoda with a new chassis.. Interesting!
The things I want to see! 😅
It'd be cool if this really was the case, but this is Tsunoda's first time racing here. Let's see how it goes.
@@Dishanta_Goswamiso was oscar piastri and zhou but zhou put his best quali all season here, and Piastri did extremely well considering they're bad at low speed corners
@@huh4206 they were all behind their more experienced teammate too. It makes sense zhou, piastri, sargent and tsunoda, being behind them, being their 1st time here with just 1 FP.
@@Dishanta_Goswami that’s no excuse for Yuki or other drivers at new tracks. These guys memorise the tracks in the 2 weeks between on the simulator everyday also they have practice sessions too
The heart rate and BP of those commentators is frightening 😂😂😂
