I haven’t said this for a long time, but that was a proper old Lewis drive right there. Testing racing lines, impossible late breaking moves, and passing nearly the entire field.
Right as a rookie Lewis was a very late braker. People will say his drive was due to the car but gaining 15 positions in 24 laps is no fluke. this was an amazing drive by Lewis, If Max does it everyone would be praising him to eternity.
I bet Lewis enjoyed that way more than lap after lap in clean air. Yeah he wants to win the championship but bet it was fun racing through the pack like that.
Carlos ! Bottas and Hamilton they just nailed throughout the spirit 🔥 Carlos holding Perez , Hamilton's powerful pace and Bottas leading like a boss . This is one of the best Sprints of this entire season .
Max has been the moody dominant driver this season. He has been leading for almost 700 laps, the 5th most in F1 history. Do you think anybody could have been so dominant in his car? Or you think its not down to the car,its down to max himself?
@@samsam-ei8ss not true max just have bad weekend he has struggled to even keep perez behind but was gaining bottas in sprint and would passed if it would been few laps longer.
he was overtaking cars that had drs open as well. its not lewis its that merc engine combined with the suspension that lowers rake at high speed. look at 2:20 daniel has drs b ut lewis breezes past him, 1:41 as well, alonso has drs but lewis goes right by.
@@armanromana1580 He was not able to breeze past initially and got stuck in the DRS train but he switch his strategy mid race for the last corner while racing tsunoda and started braking early and accelerating early so he can carry more exit speed which means he was less affected by turbulent air and had more exit speed. He was very close during exit that was and was able to use slip stream. He figured this out while trying to overtake Tsunoda and applied it to the rest of the field. Ted Kravits came on the commentary and revealed this. So its not just the car mate. He was able to breeze past everyone because he showed his adaptive skills and was able to stay close using slipstream to his advantage.
Is he the goat or is he the goat, that's something I have never seen of my 20+ years of watching f1 what a drive from the greatest driver of all time wow
Highly unlikely with Verstappen and Perez starting in 2nd and 4th. Starting from 10th is not some amazing gift in F1. He's betting that the engine change will be better for the following races by sacrificing this one.
This sprint race highlights the approach f1 should take for future sprint races. Instead of tracks like SIlverstone where it is difficult to overtake, use a track like Interlagos , Sochi, or Baku where the super long straights and DRS zones allow for lots of overtaking, especialy considering there will be different tyre options. 10/10 sprint, would watch again.
@@sukhvirm8 I added Sochi because I personally find qualifying around that track somewhat uninteresting. Because of the straight it usually comes down to a tow from your team mate or a lucky slipstream.

From last to 5th in a sprint race. Lewis wasn't holding back on anyone. When he needs to he goes above and beyond proving why he is a 7 time world champion.
I’m a huge Verstappen fan but I can’t deny that Lewis was amazing in the sprint race! And yes he clearly has an amazing car but I don’t think many of the drivers would pull of gaining 15 places in 24 laps even with his amazing car… I’ll still be rooting for Max today tho haha
Its so cringe at this point. "Lets recognise literally any other driver who made 1 place as doing great job" when Hamilton clearly had the best drive. They are so spiteful and nasty at this point. But then Verstappen is a spiteful hateful person too so what can you expect. They will choke on their jealously one day.
Lewis is consistently a great driver, but theres always a couple weekends every season where he is just an absolute monster on track. This is one of those weekends
It's almost as if he has a much faster car, a fresh engine and a DRS advantage. None of those overtakes require any skill. He just waits for the main straight and he was past them before they even got anywhere near the braking zone.
@@footballnerd277 it's almost as if he's statistically the best driver in history. Just because you're salty he did well doesn't mean you can ignore that simple fact
Bro... It's so sad to see the difference between Mercedes/red bull and the rest of the grid, it's like watching f1 cars competing against trucks, I hope for next season the grid is more equal.
benetton vs williams 94-95, mclaren vs ferrari 98-2002, ferrari vs renault 05-06, ferrari vs mclaren 07-08, merc vs ferrari 17-18, and now RBR vs Merc 21.. only on 2009-2010 there was various winners from 3+ constructor teams
One team is going to get the new regulations right and be ahead of the competition next season and I think the budget cap will make it impossible for the teams that get it wrong to catch up
Jesus Christ, Lewis went all the way off. This was basically just a montage of Lewis overtaking down the straight into T1. That move on Lando was wild. Great drive by Carlos as well.
The King has realized he is in serious jeopardy, Verstappen can see that. Today was a demonstration of what Nico Rosburg said about fighting King Lewis for the Championship "If you beat Lewis you can be sure that he will come back ten times stronger the next week"

Let's consider that Carlos had soft tires and that he had clear air for his front tires
Everyone thought sainz will be 2nd driver in Ferrari, he is giving leclerc run for his money. Amazing driver.
They have both been great in 2022!
well, almost a year later Leclerc has proven you were wrong 💁🏻♂️
Post interview drivers: It was really hard to overtake in that DRS train.
Hamilton: Hold my beer.
That was exciting to watch! Can't wait for the race 😃
Love to see you here! NOW hands back on your filthy macbooks 😹🤯
You should get some eucalyptus oil and spill it on the track :D
It makes me think reverse grid for the sprints could be awesome. That drive from Hamilton was epic. Imagine if it was multiple front running cars charging through the pack like that.
If ham drives like that then height eat veratappen yp
.....and healthy dose of eucalyptus oil..
Watching this at the grandstands was a honour, Lewis gave us a class and he was the teacher
but no points
Man the power difference between the Merc and cars in the middle of the pack is just insane.
You know alot of them have Merc engines in them right?
@@iceywilko yea ! merc just gives the engines away !
Not really sure what your point is
@@iceywilko doesn’t mean sheet. Every engine will make different power even if built by same person. Then you have the computer management if the team. They are completely different in a different team.
@@BobbyDazzler888Yes but with the level of precision in F1 it wont be noticeable. It's still the same power unit, Merc aren't allowed to give the other teams weaker power units. If anything it shows how much faster a fresh power unit is.
I'd like to see the whole race from Hamilton's onboard.
Its available on f1tv
@@CatWith-AHat Not everyone has F1TV. F1 better make a video as it was a mega drive. 15 positions in 24 laps cannot be brushed off unless The car was ridiculously dominant.
Easy bots for Hamilton
@@MolonyProductions What
@@Firebolt1729 It's like $70
Was that Toto at the end sounding so very happy about Bottas’s win? 🤣 Him and Ricciardo are two guys I hope take these new cars next year and make some things happen.
"Do you know what that was?'
That was a smoooth operator..... smooooth operatioooon.
Let's go Chili!
Hamilton just put up 24 consecutive qualifying mega laps, from last to 5th place. Simply the best in 2021.
U mean the best car
@@tommy1734 2021 best car is redbull because over budget cost
@@shah45 no, still mercedes, but Red bull Is over the budget cap
@@tommy1734 so this year its all the car right? Because you're a hypocrite if you don't think its the car too with Max
@@Mohagnito94 no this year and the year before
Lewis is trully on savage mode, 15 places in just 24 laps.
After hearing he was desqualified i lost all hope but now i'm exited again.
It's because of the track. For example monaco
@@beegeebad3193 so what's your point?
@@KaarthiBlaze His point is that it's because of the track, can you read?
@@beegeebad3193 not because of the car😂😂
@@PhilGerb93 unlucky crashstappen was allowed only to overtake only one car...tat was also due to the track
From last to 5th in a sprint race. Lewis wasn't holding back on anyone. When he needs to he goes above and beyond proving why he is a 7 time world champion.
Because of thr car
@@dumitriuradu8481 and Verstappen doesn't have the best car this year? 🤨
Proving why Merc won the last 7 chips...
32kph advantage on the straights. Wow. Spectacular to overtake on straights with a double DRS speed advantage
@@ab-kr6qn I said in the season in general, not just yesterday's Qualy
@@dumitriuradu8481 And nobody else can do it better even in a faster car.
I’m a huge Verstappen fan but I can’t deny that Lewis was amazing in the sprint race! And yes he clearly has an amazing car but I don’t think many of the drivers would pull of gaining 15 places in 24 laps even with his amazing car… I’ll still be rooting for Max today tho haha
Just look at when bottas starts p20 in a race he would be lucky to pick up a point by the end of a race Hamilton is just a goat
Respect for saying this, of course we gotta root our driver but let's appreciate these two are on another level
You sir, have my respect! May the best driver/team win. 👍
Max has an amazing car also.
I feel the pain of the Hamilton haters who can't bare to give him any credit. 🐐
Its so cringe at this point. "Lets recognise literally any other driver who made 1 place as doing great job" when Hamilton clearly had the best drive. They are so spiteful and nasty at this point. But then Verstappen is a spiteful hateful person too so what can you expect. They will choke on their jealously one day.
I him him lots of credit for cheating and his car.
@@BRXY8 It is the racing that counts, Ham well done. you on the other hand are a DRAMA QUEEN.
@@BobbyDazzler888 learn english
Lewis will torture them as long as they are watching F1.
It's like Lewis is driving a different car to the rest of the pack. Amazing driver but wow what a car.
A man on a mission
It's obvious both rb and merc are speeeed.😎
It's been like that for 8 seasons.
Lewis is consistently a great driver, but theres always a couple weekends every season where he is just an absolute monster on track. This is one of those weekends
Are you also impressed when LMP cars pass GT cars?
It's almost as if he has a much faster car, a fresh engine and a DRS advantage.
None of those overtakes require any skill. He just waits for the main straight and he was past them before they even got anywhere near the braking zone.
@@footballnerd277 do you really believe that sorry excuse justifies all 15 overtakes?
@@footballnerd277 it's almost as if he's statistically the best driver in history. Just because you're salty he did well doesn't mean you can ignore that simple fact
@@quigglyz what's your point? I'm struggling to find a coherent argument here.
as a red bull fan, I have to say that was incredible from lewis
13 of them were on the straights but still 🔥
Respect
@@letsseetofindout2560 it’s the main and easiest overtaking spot what can you expect 🤷♂️
@@letsseetofindout2560 bro u sound so salty just appreciate it for once rather than making excuses as per.
@@cozmics1191 well I dont thing people expect much of your behavior
Hamilton always pull the hat out of the bag each time he starts at the back of the Grid. I love his never say die attitude...
this is a certified "SPRINT" classic
Bottas, Sainz and Hamilton (last one especially) were absolutely phenomenal.
I'm no Hamilton fan but that was an utterly superb drive from him.
Especially considering Lewis is driving a Haas.
Thank you James for saying that about Lewis drive
@@RedPhroggz Righttt ... cause Verstappen was seeing a lot of the podium before Red Bull righttt !!?!?
@@blackmondayy1 Thank you, people act like RB is not a dominant team. By reading some comments feels like an RB is slightly better than an Alpine.
and that's what being a fan of the sport is all about. Thank you, sir
Valtteri always starts with: „ha ha….“
Kimi: „mhoa“
verstappen: haha yes
That pass on Lando by Lewis is legendary.
No it's not, the pass of Schumi on raikonnen in his last Ferrari race was "legendary", Hamilton's pass was great.
Why?, just a faster car , oh my how special…
Indeed, honestly thought he was going to lock up and overshoot the corner. Norris was planing to do a bait and switch. However LH made it stick.
@@mikahan0410 haters going to hate nothing new.
@@davidmashishi2080 hes not exactly hating though is he?
Bro... It's so sad to see the difference between Mercedes/red bull and the rest of the grid, it's like watching f1 cars competing against trucks, I hope for next season the grid is more equal.
Thats what annoys me most every other car on the grid just seems like they are in a different league!
benetton vs williams 94-95, mclaren vs ferrari 98-2002, ferrari vs renault 05-06, ferrari vs mclaren 07-08, merc vs ferrari 17-18, and now RBR vs Merc 21.. only on 2009-2010 there was various winners from 3+ constructor teams
Still, two drivers managed to hold up the two Red Bull for the entire race, and one of them wasn't in a Mercedes. So there's that.
One team is going to get the new regulations right and be ahead of the competition next season and I think the budget cap will make it impossible for the teams that get it wrong to catch up
Hoping for Valterri that Alfa's focus on next year's car instead of this year's car pays off.
Jesus Christ, Lewis went all the way off. This was basically just a montage of Lewis overtaking down the straight into T1. That move on Lando was wild. Great drive by Carlos as well.
Jezus Christ loves you more than yourself!!
Smooth Operator back in full swing!!
Well done Valtteri. I will always love you
This F1 season just geting better and better. Phenomenal race and kudos to the drivers for putting on a great race.
ظمنم
The King has realized he is in serious jeopardy, Verstappen can see that. Today was a demonstration of what Nico Rosburg said about fighting King Lewis for the Championship "If you beat Lewis you can be sure that he will come back ten times stronger the next week"
I seriously think with the pace he showed today he can still win this race, even from 10th place.
After 9 months, Lewis's overtake on Norris still frightens me... Seeing that merc popping from behind the McLaren at full speed... I have chills
Sainz was absolutely brilliant 🙏🏼❤️
Let‘s take a moment to appreciate Bottas' engineer for his interesting radio.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!
Bom competiçao, Bottas!
@@pelimies1818 He said Pole haha not goal
@@Max-hq4uo It’s Brasíl.. pole is not important; goal is! :D
Hamilton's car reminds me of when you play Gran Turismo and use a car that has 200 more horsepower than everyone else in the race.
Or a car that is following a different set of rules...
Its like in gt3 using the pikes peak suzuki on the sunday cup races
@@carcrazyguysa4059 you think there is still something dodgy going on?
@@thedoc5848 Lewis's overtakes seemed a little too easy in my opinion. Its like the other cars are running a totally different formula engine.
Or a car that maybe has a new engine in it 🤔
1:25 after spinning, it only took 2 laps for Raikkonen to catch the Haas team. Ouch
That last lunge by Lewis for P5. Stuff of champions
Lewis had an amazing sprint goodness
amazing new engine, so easy to overtake other cars on the straight
I think that the car is faster than others, so he can pass the very easily
@@sgru9558 Can never give credit where credit is due. Hatred is a really horrible thing.
@@rax6705 Hatred? Facts lol
idc what people say, Lewis right there, magnificent drive
Hats off to merc for making such a lightning fast car. Still u need a skillful driver to overtake, that was a drive
A guy who appreciates the car and also the driver, hats off to you
Agreed
Seems like even when he gets a podium, the commentary does as little as they can to acknowledge a great drive by Sainz.
Overshadowed by Hamilton's driving lol notable effort from Sainz
That was a phenomenal drive by Lewis 🔥
Hope it goes his way tomorrow in the middle of the pack . Still we rise 🔥🔥
I hope someone called the DOCTOR FOR LEWIS, because he was mad sick and crazy on track😎🥳. 💯WHAT A RACE!!!💯👏
The drive from Hamilton is exceptional. He's absolutely stunning.
This sprint race was the Hamilton show today, what a man.
With what lewis and kimi have been doing all season, i don't want to hear anymore talk of age again
Kimi hasn't done much, Alonso has been superb though
Hamilton made a lot of mistakes, maybe because of age? You do get more inconsistent with time, though Alonso seems slmost flawless this year so IDK.
@@DjDolHaus86 kimo has finished above his much younger team mate 90% of the time this season, has more points, and has the nastiest starts, all in a pos sauber that's competing with williams
@@aesir1ases64 the amount of mistakes that hamilton has made in 20 races can be counted on one hand, his team has let him down 90% of the time, just like they did with the drs flap on the wing.
Hamilton has made just about as much mistakes as any driver makes on average, the spotlight's just on him more that's why everyone yaps about how many mistakes he has made because they can't point at any other flaws in his game.
What's the age of a ripe banana?
That race was just vintage Hamilton like him or not that has got to be the best 25 laps I've seen him drive , champions drive
Overtaking cars with DRS on a 1km straight isn't that hard when you have the fastest car
Illegal car dude
From here looks like an easy game for HAM and BOT for tomorrow. I'm a redbull fan, but both mercedes drivers pace are incredible especially lewis. He's doing drive to survive on this sprint race like no other
Lewis at the end of the sprint on radio - It's not over yet!. Aaahhhhhh😌💜
When Lewis starts from the back you know there will be fireworks!
He set the Interlagos track on fire!.
A Hamilton victory is very much on the cards i would say.
@@countbelalucozade He played his cards right.
Hamilton never gives up, looking forward to this race for sure, hes gonna put up a fantastic fight.
Helps when your car is 0,5s faster than second place.
@@devan124 bottas was slower than max so that’s not true.
@@DaFunkz a new ICE doesn’t provide 5 tenths extra pace on a circuit with just 2 drs zones, one of which is very small.
@@tomd9243 how many DRS did bottas have compared to Hamilton?
The title is already spoken for, there is no way Lewis can win all the remaining races. A miracle as in a dnf for Max could be the only thing to changed the narrative.
Hats off to Lewis tremendous driving👏🏽
Why? Any F1 driver can do that in that car.
@@fixipszikon6670 Doubt that, hater
@@fixipszikon6670 You prolly were one of them saying that amazing job from max in sochi
@@fixipszikon6670 Are you sure? So you're telling me if mercedes gave Mazepin the car he can go from last to 5th in 24 laps?
I'm not even a Hamilton fan but the amount of bs that's coming out of you is ridiculous!
@@Patrikv303
Stop lying!
I was not!
And he’s gonna try make that lunge
And he does make that lunge
Was epic🔥🔥🔥
Definitely can't count out Hamilton winning tomorrow's race, he seems so ferocious and determined to win
This fia situation has fired him up
I feel like Lewis from now on will absolutely dominate to a point never seen before….
He might get p2 or crash with Max. There is no way Max will let him pass.
He has a bee in his bonnet!
@@my2cents366 I really hope Max doesn't resort to that. I feel like he has matured enough to not resort to such a tactic.
Lewis raced like a hungry tiger!!!
As a verstappen fan i can say it was an outstanding drive from lewis
I did not want Lewis to win WDC this year but after today, I have changed my mind!
Get in there Lewis!
Lol why, bcs he went P20 to P5 in a new Mercedes car that was miles better than any he passed
Because mercedes try to cheat with the rear wing, you suddenly support them?
Love Lewis or hate Lewis, you have to admit that last overtake on Norris was incredible
27 kms Faster than lando with same engine ( lando engine 1 race old )
Smells of merc finding power elsewer
What a comeback from Hamilton 🔥
Today he completed a comeback Lazarus would have been proud of.
What a drive by Carlos and Hamilton can’t wait for the race tomorrow!
this is the fun when you see some one crawl back from p20 to p5 in 24 laps. who knows what will happen with full race distance. kudos to sainz
