For sure this quali lap will be in a “top 10 moments of George Russell brilliance” video in a couple of years!
Totally
@@FF-jf8yg now that’s a bold statement, I don’t agree but time will tell haha
@@FF-jf8yg not destroy, but maybe equally match, don’t forget, Lewis has 100 poles, his raw speed is incredible
@@zippo5294 Maybe not destroy, but if they had equal cars George 100% would push some sweat out of Lewis
@@KarczekWieprzowy oh for sure he will definitely give him a hard time consistently in my opinion. It will be very entertaining to watch!
I demand that we get Mazepin’s fastest lap now.
Getting fastest lap in a shitbox, future champ

"You have outqualified Mr. Hamilton" is such a great statement. What a great lap.
Mr. Hamilton

If there's one man who deserves his points from the "Race" then it is George Russell, this lap was mega!!!
nobody deserves points, as there was no race...
@@lucianalexe7456 if there was a race George would have got points so no
@@ShadowRacing dude, buzz off, i'm following this sport since 1996, don't teach me lessons about f1 with your subjective comments :)
@@lucianalexe7456stop playing old wise man. Look at the facts.
@@lucianalexe7456 You can also look at it like this: the drivers got rewarded with what they did on saterday. But I agree with you very weird to give points while there was no race.
Hilariously, this race is the first time Russell has ever out-scored his teammate. Every other time points have been a possibility he's gotten unlucky. Glad to see his talent finally be rewarded, even if it did mean us not getting a proper race.
Actually my guy your wrong don't forget about sakhir he outscored latifi
Teammates***! Out scored his future teammate too!
It's like karma decided to reward him for all the unlucky occasions he's had before.
@@shadowlord5702 nope. Bottas finished 8th and Russel 9th at Sakhir
"Unlucky" he bottled it himself on several occasions and blamed others.
Rain: * exists *
Russell: STONKS
He learned not to Imola ever again lol
R^2
This is the comment I was looking for.
I love hearing George’s voice. Sounds very emotional.
Russell looked happy for sure.
It’s crazy the amount of spray the front tyres alone are making!
That's every rainy race in F1.
@@silentnight1805 Thank you captain obvious, your comment really helped me clear up the confusion.
It is crazy! I remember reading the tyres can clear gallons of water per second!
Yeah and that's because it wasn't that wet, if it was and they had to use full wet tyres, then you would just be able to see a fraction of the track
1% appreciating George
99% asking for mazepins fastest lap
can we have mazepin fastest lap?
but, can we have it?
whats the joke with Mazepin ?
@@Moethelock You lack of your nickname.
No one would be asking for that if the FIA didn't create that charade
The cheers of the team in the background give me goosebumps
Can we get a side by side or Ghost comparison of Max, Russell and Ham's Q3 lap
They already posted one of Max v George, basically Max took pole because of traction out of the last corner, was able to get the power down way earlier.
there is a youtube account who does these, try find it.
@@fetzie23 link?
it would be more interesting to see latifi/russel side by side qualifying onboards, to see how the two cars were behaving on the track, see setup/engine mode difference etc
I second this request
That was a delicate dance between understeer and over steer, carrying alot of speed into the corner and let the car understeer to the edge of the track. I think he pushed the car beyond what it is capable of and did it brilliantly
Beyond limit is not possible. But yes he found the limit in this lap
This is exactly why Michael Schumacher became 7 times world champion
@@ucube33 What he means is that George went deliberately beyond the limit of grip at some points during the lap which allowed him to be faster than he would have been within the limits of grip on the tires at all times. He positioned the car in a way that allowed the loss of grip to naturally take him to where he wanted to be at various different points during the lap, most commonly on corner exit. Being beyond the limit is very much possible. He is referring to the limits of grip, not the absolute maximum pace that could potentially be extracted from the car.
@@e2rqey True!
@@e2rqey facts
This lap left me lost for words... the finest lap of George Russell's career. I'm not sure what he can do to better this one tbh.
He pretty much nailed the last sector too.
Around the same pace stat as lance Stroll. GG Codemasters, that reflects reality. Russell’s one lap pace is insane
Sochi will come close
@@thatracingguy5694nope. Sochi wont come close for that.
@@gseric4721Russell on the final sector was 0.982 faster than Verstappen.
Flat round here
This was my only positive from that weekend….and mazepin’s fastest lap of course
The fastest lap wasn't recognized so he didn't get it

"For all the children who have dreams out there - keep believing, you can achieve them. Russell did" - Lewis Hamilton
Not just his dream, but also our dreams of him having a podium with Williams. I know it wasn't a proper "race", but I'll take it. 😅😉
Russell will be world champion one day.
Next year hopefully
You dont know
He most definitely is World Championship Material in the making but there are so many young drivers without a championship right now, some of them will become the New Danny Ric.
@@matthiasehling6763 I hope Danny will get at least one
@@christhekill He deserves it for his Performance from 2014-2017/18 but since then he started dropping and in almost every team there is a better driver rn so i sadly cant see it Happen.
Half of the grid is World champion material, but we are still in the Mercedes Era so, i see it difficult
We need mazepins fastest lap that was insane especially in the Haas.
This 👆

Wasn’t that during safety car?
@@TyroneBurns r/woosh
disgraceful that hes not on the DHL fastest lap award list
George is probably questioning whether he even needs Mercedes to do well after this 😂

People disagreed with me so much when i said, imagine if williams can get competitive next season and all.
@@thindon6661 yep 🤣
@@gollese if williams become a top 3 team when george joins mercedes. and mercedes become a midfield team. that will be the most george thing that has ever happened to george.
This has to be one of the greatest quali laps
Yep. Along with Verstappen at Monaco 2023.
Hearing the replies to him on the radio, especially the boss (was he crying?), made it even better. But as Max and his engineer would say, simply lovely!
Hearing the team in the background cheering as he gets the news makes it so emotional it gets *me* emotional. I hope Netflix or someone had a camera on his team as it exploded in cheers when he got provisional pole.
"You have out-qualified Mr. Hamilton."
chills
George Russel is amazing and what he did was just mind blowing, he finished p2 in qualification with a car that isn't capable of winning points. Hope to see him in that Mercedes seat in 2022
With a wet setup...i mean, latifi qualified well too.
Yeah exactly
He will be next wingman. No way to beat 7 time wdc
@Ori22 Bruh Russel has that talent
@@drakon_Phoenix bruh not much enought to beat 7 time wdc. Not that much
The sole 2 minutes worth my time over the race weekend. As for the rest, a giant commercial farce.
George has done it again. POLE POSITION!!
In a few years this will be remembered as a legendary moment of F1
wish his radio engineer said " GET IN THERE GEORGE ! "
Next season ;)
@@chrisadams7489 you don't need to copy paste "Mr Hamilton" to be cool....
Technically that's Bono, and he'll get him as a radio engineer only when Hamilton will retire
Well his engineer went one better. “You out qualified Mr Hamilton “ I thought that was well said
"That was a stonking lap"
Stonks📈📈📈
We all know that stonks only go fast!
This quali was the first time me and my friends got to SEE F1 irl and THE absolute thrill in Spa When George put himself On p2 was amazing (we don’t have enough money for race ticketsbut in Heinsight that wasnt So bad)
Buy a lottery mate.
You got luck on your side.
Still in tears that we didn’t get to see the race😔😔but what a lap from George👍👍
That displaced water from the front tyres is so satisfying
Beautiful!
awesome to see how much grid there is when braking outside the dry racing line. In the last sector though, he basically took Blanchimont flat out! amazing how these cars are planted, even in wet conditions!
This lap will go down history as one of the best qualifying laps ever
I also loved how the whole crowd cheered for him when we saw it on the screen. You can even hear it in the background on the radio☺️
That’s actually from Williams’s garage not the crowd
@@spidey2509 Oh well, everyone was happy for him nontheless haha
This proves that George has the talent to be a World Champion in the future
Props to GR he came through when it matters.
Can only imagine what Lando could have had he was so quick.
Thank you for uploading this lap! Great driving!
who's here after George took his maiden pole in Hungary
Brilliant driving! Smooth steering wheel movements. He is really talented.
"And it's flat round there, and again flat round here, pick some kerb and flat round here."
That's what you call a flawless lap. Master Class.
He did lock up on the bus stop chicane, though.
@@antonkirilenko3116 fair play
One of my favourite moments from the entire season
Who's here after Mr Saturday got pole in Hungary
YES FORGET HAMMERTIME ITS THE RUSSELL HUSTLE FROM NOW ON
Funny how he is 7km-10km slower than Hamilton in every straight but still gets ahead
I saw a comparison of each of their laps with telemetry and that William's top speed is non-existent
Yet in a top speed focused track he beat a 7 time world champion
difference in set up. the Williams was running with a high down force setup due to the rain, gambling on the fact that it will rain on raceday too. the others ran lower down force, as is the norm in spa, so they can survive if there its dry as well.
@@askeladden450 yep
@@askeladden450 Couldn't be more wrong there m8, everyone, including RB and Merc, was running high down-force setups. Simply better than Hamilton in the wet.
@@CHRoOMAX Verstappen ran a higher downforce setup in Saturday than he ran in Friday
Williams did a great job setting up that car and George delivered! 👏👏
The throttle on a wet curb always sends me chills down my spine, proper proper traction control in this lad's right foot.
This will go down as one of the greatest laps in F1 history. This was the day Russell REALLY proved that hes one if the greater drivers on the grid and has the potential to be the next big thing and absolutely dominate when lewis retires.
This is certainly the best lap in the last 2 or 3 decades, something that would surely make Senna extremelly proud of, a glory so great and up to his level.
well...what should we say about Max then?
Because, let me remember you....MAX WAS ON POLE
@@raulingoncalvez9931 You gotta consider that it was done with Williams car.
@@raulingoncalvez9931 in a Red Bull. The rain can even out the playing field more but it will never make a Williams better. A car's engineering still matters in the wet. Thats why George's performance is so impressive. No disrespect to Max I hope he wins this year
@@p8032336 And You gotta consider that it was done with a wet setup (thinking about the saturday, not the sunday)
@@raulingoncalvez9931 So u mean, Red bull wasn’t a wet setup ? And here we are all talking about Saturday qualifying , not the Sunday. Oh did I ever say ‘Sunday’ in my comment? No.
Now this is a lap I can watch over and over again, future rain master
WOW WHAT A QUALI, I cant wait to go watch the race highlights video next, haven't been spoiled yet this is gunna be a great race Spa is easily the best track on the calendar!
The Best Thing I have seen this entire weekend
This was no small feat.
Amazing lap
Amazing drive
What a historic event for Williams!!!!!!!!!!
Here after the win in Brasil
Russell: P2
Engineer: *S T O N K S*
Latest rumour
Russell to Mercedes
Bottas to Alfa Romeo
Kimi to sadly retire
30 sec later Max be like :
"I'am about to end this man's dream"
I'm happy George didn't get pole. That would've meant he'd won his first race because there was no race. It's better this way. George's day will come soon, real soon.
@@larsjj2794 yep was gonna slaughter you until i read the last part😂 better for him to get his first win from actually completing a race
That lap was absolutely beautiful.
Love hearing the team cheering in the background over the radio!!
He didn’t even get any slipstream and he was up so much. Crazy
He has now completed the testing phase of a former world champion. Out perform everybody in a mediocre car.
now he just needs to win 2 championships in an alpine and get let down by ferrari
Dunno if I would even say mediocre haha
@@thindon6661 getting let down by Ferrari should be fairly easy. It happens to everyone eventually
Finally!! The video everyone wanted to see!!
Given those conditions, he was so smooth! So few needs for correction and brave to the nth degree! Given the speed and the changing conditions a stonking lap! Superb!
The way he says "You've outqualified Mr Hamilton" when George is in Williams is just awesome
One of the greatest lap in history
2:10 That POP @ Williams Garage describes everything.
imo truly one of the best qualifying f1 laps ever. Not be that fast but in such a handy-capped (no disrespect to Williams but knew this car wouldn't typically qualify on the front row) machine I'm highly impressed.
The probability of George Russel outqualifyng Mr Hamilton in a Williams was 1 in 14000605.
There battle next year will be historic(unless George wants to be a number two driver)
More like 1 in 44444444
Nobody got the MCU reference x(
2 in 14000605 apparently
I'm glad he did not take the pole, it would be the lamest first win ever lol. Incredible lap by the way, it would be fun to see this and Hamilton's lap side by side
There is that yt video
Why not Max's lap as his was better?
@@coreyrod are you joking right now
@@coreyrod Russell managed to out drive 17 cars in a tractor so it is superior
@@coreyrod because max outqualified russel by a few tenths. lewis by only a few thousandths.
watching this live was the best feeling
Thank you Formula 1. Very much.
Now please show us the goat Mazepin getting fastest lap 💯😂
Nobody can deny Nikita Mazepin's greatness now. He has easily overtaken Hamilton in Baku and now securing the fastest lap in the slowest car on the grid in Spa.
Hanamaru Kunikida to Nikita Mazepin: Am i a joke to you?
Thais lap saved my weekend!!! Thanks so much, George!!!
George and that Williams are just in pure harmony
If you can't join them, beat them
Honestly I think this is up there with “Senna 88’ Monaco”, Hill 97’ Jerez with his Arrows & that ridiculous pole lap Lewis has in Singapore, (forget the year). To do that in at best the 7th-8th fastest car is beyond amazing.
Lewis in Singapore - 2018 and it was insanity tbh
Amazing lap from George
This is so inspiring for new up coming drivers.💯💯☝️
We were so close to see "George Russell Pole Lap"
The Gods: "You have remained humble and sporting throughout these years of tribulation George, what does thou heart desire?"
GR: "Traction."
The Gods: "It shall be done."
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games Think we can all agree he isn't living a life of tribulation as a whole. The joke was meant to explain his level of talent suffering in probably the 2nd slowest team on the grid but remaining positive and upbeat the past few years to now be rewarded by 'the gods' with an outstanding lap in a not so outstanding car. Hope this helps explain my joke to you a little better........
I love hearing the garage going berserk in the background. You can feel how much it meant to them.
In 15 years time we'll be watching a video of Top Ten Moments of George Russell brilliance and this will be right up there 👌

Although this was a great performance from George, that podium didnt feel like a real podium

That's what great drivers like Max do. They leave it to the last minute to prove why they are better than others. 👍
