The one time his tyre was actually gone he was all like: Tyres feel great, man.
is it the catalunya one? haha
@@Khyte Nope, Sliverstone.
@@Khyte haha he’s got a delaminated tire” whooo tires feel great bono no way verstappen catching up”
@@junrenong8576 oh my bad, i thought its the catalunya one where his tyres died too.
@@weignerleigner3037 The way he nurse the car though, just incredible. And I'm a red tractor fan
Simple, Mercedes just has a board full of codes that each mean something, for example "My tyres are gone" means I'm going to do a fastest lap or "There is something wrong with the engine" means the engine is in perfect condition or "Red Bull are faster than us this weekend" would mean, we are going to dominante again.
I usually disagree with your comments on formulaworld but this one really made me laugh 😂
True xDDD

what are aws graphics?
@@Silkaz7 i think he means those dodgy tables you see every once in a while during races that show how well the tyres are in %, and those are almost always wrong
"Tyres gone" is code for "tyres feel good imma set fastest laps now"

that is a 200 IQ play

When you tell your engineer a lie knowing other teams would figure it out
random thought : what if - "my tyres are gone" is a secret code to somethin' ?
@@swapnil4646 probably xD
Hamilton saying that his tires are dead is as reliable as the AWS tire performance graphics.
The AWS graphics just read off a little dial in his cockpit.
What I've noticed is that Lewis reports about the feel of the tires genuinely 90% of the time and then proceeds to get the maximum out of the tires deliberately to create a pit stop gap. Also graining is a thing and graining can and does clear up with tire management. What most people hate to admit is that Lewis's feedback is critical to race strategy and how Mercedes keeps making the right choices in that regard.
"bono my tires are gone"
*proceeds to set 5 fastest laps in a row*
Its smart by hamilton. He says his tyres are gone and drivers carefully to make other teams think "ok his tyres are losing grip now its time to push" so the other drivers push and blister their tyres then Lewis sees that and decides "aight imma head out" and pulls away
@@lmtd_reckless7519 yea its pretty smart but when the jokes are done right, its funny.

@@Vayee This is a hypothetical situation meme, theres nothing confiermed so far about Lewis' situation
well-
That was like a clickbait video where you left us without answering the question but just some random tyre talk.
i think he made it pretty clear, the tyres can degrade in a way that is repairable by driving in a certain way and it's called graining, secondly it can come from cases where the car has been overdriven and the tyres got too hot, grip reduces but then comes back again after doing a slower lap.
Because there is no single right answer; so he gave us the different possibilities.
@@RWoody1995 no, the questions was, are the tyres gone? Were the tyres gone at any of the fastest laps? He didn't answer any of that. Didn't give examples for specific races where his tyres were actually gone and gained fastest lap or where he said they were gone but weren't actually and gained fastest lap. He explained how they can fix but not whether they were gone during any one event where he scored fastest lap.
His answer was Hamilton tires were not gone. 1:45
"bono my tyres are gone" means "HAMMER TIME"
well what he actually means by tyres gone, is that he just activated super saiyan hamilton
I would like this, but your comment is at the magic sex number, so I’ll just resort to saying, “Nice.”
As Nico one said "It's all part of the Lewis Hamilton show, he likes to make it look harder than it is"
And Sebastian said to Ferrari Wall "And you believed him"
Is just mind games for Bottas side of the team and the rest...
Lewis is playing games with his only competition this year, valtteri bottas. Lewis came out and said his tires were gone early which made valtteri bottas push in his first stint. What Val carry didn't notice is that by valtteri pushing he was actually going at Lewis Hamilton's preferred rate. Lewis Hamilton knew he can conserve his tires at the speed that valtteri bottas was going. Lewis Hamilton did not want to waste his tires trying to pass valtteri so he managed to get valtteri to work at his pace (being Hamilton's pace). Botas cannot conserve his tires at that speed so Hamilton knew all he had to do was wait. I said it before and I'll say it again, Hamilton is in a different League while all the other drivers are trying to go fast Hamilton is working on strategy to destroy the other drivers confidence.
I call BS... He's just a whiner, needs something to complain about every single race. On some level he needs it I guess. Now, do not get me wrong, he's a good driver. Top 3 in the current field for sure. Not the best ever (not even close) and not the best now.
He has a car so good, that even the very mediocre Bottas can get 2nd in the championshop... If you would replace Hamilton and Bottas with, money-boys, Latifi and Stroll, they would still win the championship with ease.
I agree with the commenter here, if he is off the pace there’s always an excuse! There’s never “wow he drove better” it’s always “bOno my tYres aRe goNe”
@@Dan-ij1xr Very true, only recently I've heard Ham actually say Bottas did a good race, in all the years he hasn't done that, like you said it's always a fault with the car that stopped him, not that Bottas actually had a better race.
@@will4may175 Every single time he says Waltteri did a great job, when he actually do god job, wtf more you want?
Will4May Hamilton has commented nearly every weekend since the first race in 2017 that Valtteri did a good job
Tyre life: 10 or 20%
Lewis: *FASTEST LAP*

No really, we actually needed it.

@@BRZkomarov you mean he has GOAT skill level
"Tyres are gone" is a 2020 version of "it's Hammer time".
Hamilton: "Bono my tires are dead, the front wing is coming off, I have almost no fuel left and I got stung by a bee on my eyeball"
*Fastest lap*
I believe he is using the "my tyres are gone" to let the team know he would like to pit in the next few laps.
He then proceeds to use the last bits of performance out of the tires.
I do wonder if "my tyres are gone" amounts to "I'm struggling to keep the temperature at this pace, let's wring every last bit of them before we stop". But in Portugal he did another 15 laps on the sodding things
There was that one time where he drove for 65 laps on completely dead tires and they were really gone.
And he is one of the most skilled drivers in history at making the best out of even horrible setups. I mean check out his drive at Turkey last week, no one could get both that kind of sheer pace and longevity out of one set of inters. He even used the fact that they were worn down to slicks to his advantage as the track dried out.
He is the G.O.A.T imo. Absolute genius on track.
It’s so funny how this exact thing happened at the Portuguese Grand Prix 2021 as well
lmao i just got this video recommended too and thought of that:)
Is it just me or does he say “tyres are good” just as much when he’s asked how they feel
HAM: "Tyres are good."
On the last lap:
"BONO MY TYRE IS GONE"
Bono: "Not again .... cmon Lewis"
Lewis: "No, its really ...... gone"
Yes.
People who make memes only hear what they want to.
@@GeniusLad32 Why yes I would love a sandwich, thank you.
Yes, for example right before his tyres blew at Silverstone he said that they were feeling great.
@@TheHunefer literally😂
Though the memes are funny, what many seem to forget:
- the message is not meant for the audience, but for the engineer. It would be crazy not to tell him every little detail.
- it's the only thing which can add a little bit of suspense for the lead whenever he's miles ahead. You won't hear a Williams driver complain about tires, because the audience won't care as much.
I'm not saying that he doesn't complain more than others, because I don't know. But he's good at managing tires, espacialy since the Mercedes isn't always easy on them. His perceptiveness, might actually be the reason why Bottas just can't keep up, like we saw in the last two races, where Hamilton was just waiting for Bottas to destroy his tires.
he definitely can manage his car & tires better than anyone else, did you see the video Peter Windsor did on Lewis its a very good analysis on his tire management skills
@@sphere5282 I'll give it a watch.
I seem to remember hearing Vettel, LeClerc, Max and Kimi complain about tyres, didn't see all of those way out infront.
What's annoying about Ham and why he gets the stick, is that he is way out infront still getting fastest lap in the best car on the grid but still complaining like it's going to cost him the race, and he does it almost every race, you probably don't hear it so much from others because TV doesn't care about them, they think it might lead to something exciting which it never will.
@@sphere5282 link?? Sounds interesting

Never getting tired of these vids
That was a very short but informative video. Thanks WTF1.
"Tyres are gone" is a code for "I'm going to push push push!".
"Bono, my tyres are gone, and I have a cramp."
*Gets fastest laps*
The fact that I saw the start of the video on TikTok and thought it was talking about the 2021 Portuguese GP and not the 2020 GP just shows how often Lewis actually says the "my tire is gone" line
I have learned a lot by you, THANKS FOR THE CONTENT
Really well explained!! Thanks
"Bono, my tyres are gone." will be one of the first big retro references in 2048 during the inaugural AGRC.
Wipeout reference
It's simple, he lies
I mean he is #blessed
He didn't lie to you, he's talking to his mechanic and you happened to hear it. So stop being stupid and talk bout what's important to you.
Exactly. He knows the other teams are listening to the radio. He also knows exactly what's going on with his tyres. He's just trying to keep everyone guessing...
He is capping to make himself look like a better driver
@@geennaam3335 Acting like its Hamilton who broascasts all the radio messages
Good video dude.😃👍
Lewis : "Bono my tyres are gone"
Previous lap record : *chuckles* i'm in danger
This channel is so underrated
2:35 That flat spot image explain a lot. Really interesting shot to look at!
We have found Lewis' secret. The fresher the tires, the worse his pace gets.
Easy: he's lying all the time
Stole my comment
Mind games
No he's not
Nothing in the rules says he can’t do that. Live with it.
Congrats Lewis I've watched AND admired YOUR entire career IT has to be the coolest thing ever to be the greatest DRIVER in the greatest form of motor racing YOU'RE the BEST EVER ENJOY 🚘🚘🚘
i like how aws graphics show up every time when lewis says "my tires are gone" and always get the prediction wrong
Me and my friends saw it coming. When lewis said “bono my tyres are dead” we knew that he was BSing and were waiting for his fastest lap
"Hes one hp rush him!"
Rush him and we lose
Same type of thing
That awkward moment you finish the video, and it did not answer the question in the title
He must say that,,,, to avoid comments like " its too easy to win 92 GPs in a Merc "
He must make them look much harder to achieve 🤔
yeah i got that answer earlier from someone
there is a phase where graining is more but after some time it reduces and the tyre behaves same again
Lewis is a master tactician as well as being the undisputed champion driver of all time. He is the greatest there is no doubt about it, it’s a shame his home country does not appreciate the absolute phenomenon in their midst. This post is about his tyres, no mention that he now holds the record as the most successful driver in history. Well down Lewis you ARE the man.
Me just before this comes out
“I wish there’s going to be a new WTF1 vid coming out soon”
I was blessed
Lewis: Bono, my tyres are gone.
*Beast Mode Incoming*
2:52 and still every kid on twitter belives they got the perfect strategy ready all the time.
Same at Imola today...lap 15~ Ham told and then hot laps till 30 lap that he did his pit stop.hahaha
0:30 now this got me thinking which is always a dangerous thing, lol
When tyres start to grain, the car loses grip and time. This is the initial stage of graining. After the stage the tyres are back to normal until you get vibrations which means tyres are going to fail jist like it failed in Silverstone 2020. This type of graining was evident in 2018 German GP where Lewis won. (Valterri, it's James, please hold position). That race. There also Lewis carried the Soft tyre(Yellow band tyres) till lap 45 maybe. And ultrasofts to the finish. It's all the circuit conditions that matters. It rained only a little in 2018 German GP.
Simple, His tyres are hashtag blessed!
Brundle and Crofty were talking about this during the race.
F101 is such a great series
James Allison addressed it after the race in Portimao.
I'm sure he likes to play the game of saying his tyres are gone to tempt other teams into different strategies. The fact he can play those games at 200mph is mind boggling!
Liked the use of the word “insight”
and he did it again
The sound effect at 2:39 😂😂😂
Hamilton: my tyres are gone.
Me: my hope is gone.
Best one so far
Maybe he took a leaf out of Ben's (Tiametmarduk) book when he and Aarav did "Return to Glory" in F1 2013. In that series, frequently Ben would say things like "I'm going to slow down," then immediately after that sets the fastest lap of the race. It was great entertainment 😂😂😂😂
Tyres are gone : graining
Tyres are dead : tyres are actually dead
Lewis:, My tyres are gone
Tyres: Hold my rubber
tire : help im suffering on the ground
Lewis hamilton : no tires
I miss team radio "Ok Lewis, it's Hammertime"🔨🔨🔨🔨🚀🚀🚀🚀
he's one of the best tyre manager. of course he will use it as a code
simple he's a legend with a legendary car! Just like schumi, senna, prost, mansel, and others!
What do you think would happen if it was up to the teams to make their own tires individually?
i was just impressed that even with cramp he kept pulling the fastest lap
"I can't look after these tyres anymore Bono, they're dead"
It’s mind games he be playing
He´s just playing mind games.
I'm starting to think that "My tyres are gone" is actually "My tyres are *on*", so he's ready to go and wreck some times.
Pretending that the tires are gone. Spoofing your enemies is one of the oldest tricks in war.
I’m convinced at this point it’s code for Bono at a certain time in the race that he is going for fastest laps and to keep other drivers and teams on their toes
F1 Strategists Brain: Big as a football
Ferrari Strategist Brain: *Size of a Pea*
“My tyres are gone” is a code word for give the jet engine
I saw Bono’s explanation on IG
*Sets fastest lap while missing a tyre *
"Tyres feel great, much slower than before."
Maybe that´s a sign for Bono that he is going to do some fast laps from then on.
Worn tyres actually give more grip on corners, is in the exit that they are tend to drift when u give gas. Be careful with the pedal and youll be fine.
Plus he has that technology to adjust wheels toe angle to manage temperatures.
Watch the Merc q&a after Portugal. James Allison (sp?) explained it.
Thats his code word for he is going for a fast lap! 100% confirmed at this point. And saying his tires are feeling great means he needs to box soon
Every time he says my tyres are dead, they come back from the gulag
It also helps to have the best car, driving in P1 and be able to react to the rest of the field
Peter windsor CZcams channel had a great video explaining how Lewis does this as well
I'm convinced it's all an elaborate mind game, because he knows there is a huge spotlight on him and his radios
It's not an f1 weekend if Lewis isn't complaining to Bono about his tyres.
I swear he just does it for the memes
No one. "LITERALLY NO ONE".
Watching this but just dont understand it but is satisfying to watch.
Lewis: Bono, my tyres are gone!
Tyres: Let us reintroduce ourselves...
Anyone else expecting Vettel's face as soon as Matt said "Spin"? Anyone?
It'd be hilarious if he said his tyres are gone during a pit stop and then immediately respond with tyres are good after the change
