Bottas outperforms Hamilton: "Ohh, Lewis just hasn't decided to wake up yet". Hamilton outperforms Bottas: "Valtteri is bad, not championship material, just a number two".
yup :D
I just watched grimm for the 1st time this week and was amazed to see Bottas`s twin brother in it, he is a pretty good actor and grimm seems interesting too.
When Grosjean exited the pits and his engine blew up. Guess who was behind him in the pit lane.
MARCUS ERICSSON
Ericsson ... God damn Ericsson ...
O YES OFCOURSE, THAT EXPLAINS A LOT
*queue in Ominous Boat Horn sound effect*
*CONSPIRACY*
If Lewis is retiring it’s ericsson his fault
I don't understand why people go on about Hamilton moaning. Alonso moans all the time and yet people still love him. Vettel has always moaned even at toro rosso and verstappen has an attitude as well.
barrison b40 Exactly
pls just get hamilton a 2008 toro rosso will he win no! hamilton is not vettel cause vettel has won in a slow car has been in a slow car and hamilton has never been in a slow car
danjel65 nova Vettel won Monza 2008 with luck because Ferrari and McLaren started at the back you idiot.
What kind of bs are you talking. Not because your in a fast car you can "win" a lot of factors come to play...
Cannot get enough of your podcasts, please keep them coming! This one definitely goes down as one of my favourites.
PS - Matt, your admiration for Charles is absolutely adorable! Haha!
I thought Hamilton was sandbagging because merc doesn,t want to pay so much or his worth whatever...
This is getting silly. Lewis had 2 "bad" races like last year and the world is going wild. Chill out. Knee jerk reactions need to stop. One day F1 is too predictable because Lewis win one day he should retire lmao
Sar Tv5 watch the video, its not about the losses, get the info before the comment, don't be a fucking idiot
Thank you!
But to his point one of the items they were knocking Lewis about is the fact that he’s calling the current formula rubbish whilst the panel does the same thing. Why is it such a bad thing that one of the top drivers with the most exposure in the sport calls it out for what it is. Hell its the reason Button left.
Adam Sherbz Their reasons aren't all that valid though.
Jp Wiggins ... and Webber. I can understand Lewis' exasperation with the sport's direction because as a fan I've felt it for years, and all I'm hearing about the future is just more counterproductive FIA decisions. As these guys were saying, Kimi looked bored to death after the race. If you can't overtake, at least a driver will be happy if he can push hard and enjoy the drive. But if you can't pass and also can't push, that is just so frustrating.
Any chance you'll do a special podcast for the 24 hours of Le Mans?! I remember going to Alex Roy's in NYC for probably 12 hours of the race when he was doing a 25 hour live stream back on FastLaneDaily #RIP
Dude remember how Leo Parente fell asleep ? :DD
priceless
LH is right, these cars are not good at overtaking, hopefully the new 2019 regulations helps with the overtaking.
@ya czcams.com/video/BBlip10yYTQ/video.html properly explained how these new regulations are supposed to help. P.S tires aint the problem
I agree that tires are a problem, but its deeper than that. Everything in F1 atm is about nursing and preserving. They cant go flat out not just because of the tires, but fuel needs to be saved, they have only 3 engines per year which also needs to be saved in order to get less penalties at the end of the year. I think aero changes and fuel increase is an improvement towards healthier racing.
These 2 are really stupid and I don't believe the bald guy is a Hamilton fan! This is ridiculous!
This was so much fun! Thanks for finally accepting all my desperate pleads to join you on the sofa! Alonso fans - come at me! 😂
Thanks for coming on and good luck... 😂
What is this this title? Hamilton doesnt perform in a race or two and the media scold him. Nobody talks about Alonso or Vettel when they go through streaks like this (Surely going by the logic expressed in the video) Alonso after all of his years of F1 has no passion two? When his McLaren Honda was smoking with flames he should have been on the radio cheeringly asking what he could do to help the car and should have been proactive, oh wait that wasn't the case he was sulking on the team radio but people called it funny and overlooked his character.
Obviously when hamilton doesnt win it is "his emotions" or "he doesnt care about f1 anymore"
Buzzfeed of F1
Did you listen to the whole podcast? ;)
Didn't you realize that peapole like to blame everything on him and hate him sometimes for no reason. Like this one, he doesn't perform on a race weekend very well and everyone says, that he is a shit driver and should retire. Or when he is speaking on the radio for peapole, everything he says is ''crying'' or ''whining'', but when Vettel is crying for blue flags, nobody gives a single fuck, heck they are making memes of it. Or when Alonso, or Kimi are speaking on the radio, they aren't ''whining'' for peapole. I don't understand how can peapole hate on someone this much. Whatever he does he gets immedietly hate on it...
WTF1 Yes I did thank you and I maintain the opinion expressed in my comment ;)
WTF1 The guy is a 4 Time world champion who is (as stats suggest) on of the fastest drivers of all time. He is fighting for a world championship and wants to be able to push as much as possible all of the time. This weekend he was not on the pace as was not "in the groove" he is normally in for each race session, when you want to win and are not winning WTF1 how would you expect him to feel happy? His engineers tell him to do more so when he responds complains back to them because he cannot, alas what is the problem in that? What do you (the media) want him to do? Be extremely proactive bugging his engineers asking them to do something (even though we all know that he cant do anything -if not a limited amount- from inside the cockpit) to give a false sense of hope, to show you guys he still has "passion" and "wants to stay in F1? No he is a down-to-earth guy and states his mind I mean what is the issue with that?
Y'all seem to forget Australia where he went behind Vettel (due to no fault of his own) and went on the team radio asking if he could attack Vettel and attempt to overtake him but hey Lewis is a sulky guy
Daniel O You're absolutely right. Matt will be crying when Lewis starts winning again lmfaoo
You can't blame Lewis. These top drivers want everything perfect and FAST and thats what makes them great. Look at Fernando he's given up years ago..
Ruben Santana Vettel hasn't given up on his dreams yet... although there were wrong team decisions during races this year not once has he blamed the team
satyadev abhiram but he's driving a Ferrari the greatest team in F1 history and richest
Ruben Santana so is McLaren....it all boils down to the driver's personality in dealing with tough seasons and results.
Fernando has given up? Wow. Thanks for demonstrating your IQ level.
No, he should not retire. He just didn't win the last two races. One, because Ricciardo was on fire and the other one, because, well, some engine problems. He said it himself that he was extremely pleased to even finish the race. I still think he is going to win this season's championship. Go Lewis💪💪💪💪💪
This podcast is becoming my favourite podcast. The other podcast, 3L4W is praising Alonso like he is the combination of Schumacher, Senna, Fangio and Prost while BBC podcast even said Hamilton deserve to party heavily bcos he have 4 title in the bag. Words is truer in this podcast especially from this CZcamsr Seen Through Glass. Fair and honest and to the point.
Alonso is probably a little better than Vettel or just as good. The people you mentioned are all better than Alonso.
Not only is Alonso the best driver in F1, but he is one of the best drivers in Motorsport. He was hot-headed back in 2007, but since then has matured massively and is now the complete package. As for Ferrari, he was forced out as part of a mass overhaul from the top irrespective of Fernando's contribution. And as someone who has interviewed Lando Norris (who was Fernando's team-mate at Daytona), he stressed the impact Alonso had at bringing the team together in adversity. Alonso may have made some team choice errors in F1, but he is now on the brink of a new journey with Toyota in LM and will most likely be in Indy next year.
I'd love to see their reactions after he takes the Triple Crown
Nathan Hine Hamilton beat Alo as a rookie
2007 F1 Season
Alonso - 109 points
Lewis - 109 points
How is that 'beating' in your vocabulary?
LamboWalker rookie vs 2 time champion. Lewis is better.
I actually think Alonso Vettel and Hamilton are the best drivers of this generation with Alonso being the best racer of them by a bit but Lewis and Vettel having the edge on him in Qualifying
Urban Bourbon I get what your saying but I personally don't rate alonso
vinnie mccartney to everybody his own opinion I personally don't support anyone and just hope that the racing will get better which I doubt will happen
Urban Bourbon I would love to see Fernando next to Lewis or Seb next year. I don't see anything that would suggest he wouldn't consistently get podiums.
Urban Bourbon Alonso is overrated and nothing special, you have nothing to back up saying that Alonso is the best.
You missed the point about hamilton, time and time he said he loves overtaking and thats what racing is all about. So when you are stuck in one of your best circuits, with no chance to overtake its dull, its boring. He strives to win, in qualifying he didnt have the car to challenge the pole, again it gets you down and lewis is an emotional driver. Can completely understand where he is coming from. Crap cars? Thats probably more because of the saving attitude: save tires, save fuel, save engines, save parts, go for endurance. This aint racing anymore.
This bald guy says he didnt watched the races when Vettel was dominating and then he speaks about Alonso in his 2012 and 2013 season at Ferrari.
Red Bull dominated all 4 years, Ferrari was at best the the 3rd best car. Bunch of Brits still salty over 2007 lol.
And when Vettel was dominating it was more competitive back then even Maldonaldo beat Alonso to win a race , now until this year it was full on Merc domination
^Yep! 2010 and 2012 went right down to the wire. Mercedes post-2014 has probably been the most dominating team the sport has ever seen.
Who can forget the 2012 Brazilian GP when it went down to the wire , Lewis and Nico won it without any competition since 2014
I was actually so grossed out by this guys attitude towards basically everything he mentioned, aside for a sliver of self-awareness about what a tit he must seem attacking the sport at every opportunity. Horrible, horrible guest host.
Please don't have 2 Hamilton fans again.
No he shouldn’t
Sam Dewey Lewis fan over here 😂🤣😂
Neon Isn't that obvious. Even if you don't like Lewis, the fact is, is that he is one of the greats and you have to respect that.
6 time
Loving everyone getting triggered at the title lolllll
I think the reason people are so critical of motorsport (it happens in NASCAR and Indy Car, too - and I'm sure in others) - is that you have to wait longer between events than you do with other sports. A bad football match in the World Cup, for example, isn't that big of a deal because "oh well, it's only been a couple hours or at most a day since the last one, and I've got 3 more to look forward to tomorrow." On the other hand, if you've been waiting for 2 weeks or 3 weeks for the next F1 race, and it's a complete letdown, you have to wait 2 whole weeks before you can get your fix
Absolutely right
Nico always says " Lewis has some bad races and loses motivation but eventually he gets his anger and tire back to win races ." Everyone loses motivation when things don't go their way. Give Lewis some time he'll come back . If Lewis retires vettel will wipe the floor with the grid in the Ferrari , F1 needs drivers like Hamilton to fight with vettel , I always enjoy Hamilton vs vettel or Hamilton vs Alonso compared to any other fights . He has such a huge presence and I'm sure not one driver has excluded him from the title fight . Stupid title imo
If Hamilton retired from F1, then Vettel would just lead every lap. As boring as Canada might have been, we're seeing a pretty interesting championship fight unfolding. Only 1 point separates Vettel and Hamilton right now. I wouldn't be surprised if the championship fight goes all the way to Abu Dhabi.
u should have STG on regular this was the best episode till date of this series. i think this was the only one where i didnt fall asleep at any pt during the video.
Here I am rewatching this in July 2021! ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONTENT GUYS. Avid watcher from Sweden! Still going strong!
Jess is really cute
You re god damn right
Joel Costa I thought I was the only one! , she's cute
Jeff da gamer Mintah but the question is... Is she available?
Jess looks especially impressive in this video, love that ensemble. Lovely.
0-100 real quick jeez
Yes my 2 favourite podcasters in one podcast!!! Dreams do come true
Thomas!!!!!
joe rogan
Best colab ever🙏🏼 we want more!
MotoGP is better, yes I understand they are different types of Motorsport but in terms of excitement every race it is.
Hamilton should retire because he was bored at a race? ...
*facepalms*
Please don't take these podcasts away
When my biology teacher is saying “we need you to grow up and save the world by getting a good job that’s all about the world!” I’m just thinking “I’d rather drive a 1990’s F1 car or fly a plane around and say fuck the world, I’m dead before it’ll kill us humans.”
I just want the sweet singing whine of the formula 1 V10 engine back
It is very amusing to watch this podcast again and hear STG' comment after 4 months and Mexico GP 😅
complaining about the heineken sponsor of the canadian gp but hey IT WORKED cause it was the actual FIRST TOPIC of your podcast hahaha :P
We've been brainwashed
well this didn't age well did it?
great podcast, loved Sams cameo! just a minor "thing" i would edit more: sound, just cut a couple of dB of 180-410Hz its sounds a little bit low mid heavy. (its just a tiny thing :D :) amazing podcast)
always great content guys :) This show should be an hour long
I was waiting for this for sooooo long
Salty tears for all (apart from Jess) when Mercedes inevitability get their shit together and Ferrari drop the ball again. Championship is in its infancy. Remember LH was 40 points behind. WDC is far from over
mimz881 Especially with 2 extra races.
Love these podcast, please make them a little longer
Good vid guys
it's fun to watch these 'experts' saying this rubbish now in 2019 while he wrapped up the 2018 title and on his way to clinch 2019 as well!
LEWIS SHOULD RETIRE! Yeah sure.
Well said!!
Remove the fuel restriction. Increase the number of engines. Further changes to the power unit penalties.
I am a bit pissed off as an Alonso fan boy
Imagine how happy the people in japan are, after all that bs trash talk last year from your favourite driver hahaha
Mclaren and alonso are getting all the KARMA they deserve after all they said about honda last season!!
And then to say they could challence red bull hahahaha 2 seconds off in qually with the exact same engine ffs!!! Its a joke really a fucking joke
Mohamed Lee Calm your tits
Please put "WTF1 Podcast" back in the title…it would be way easier for the subscribers to follow
I just LOVE these videos
Really good podcast this week!
“Lewis should retire he doesn’t care anymore” now he stands on the brink of a 5th world title 🤔🤔
7th
Can you please just make these podcasts 2hrs long? I didn't want it to end!!!
we were there for the weekend and in comparison to last year omg heineken green was everywhere... at their Heineken Party that was happening near the track they had 2 guest speakers who im so pleased i met Sir Jackie Stewart and David Coulthard but yes heineken was everywhere and were even handing out Non Alcoholic beers to everyone ... yes Lewis was sour af which is normal to see from him as soon as he has a hiccup , after race interview was with him was so blend even he said it "cars are crap ' ... Yes Canada should stay on a calendar have you seen amount of people who came to support a sport...( not like some "popular" tracks with half empty grandstands) it was so packed this year i haven't seen anything like this in a very very long time... anyways awesome podcast... cheers from Canada
Interesting take on it guys 👽
Alonso says the same thing. Yet people don't say nothing.
Grosain moans alot and crashes in to walls randomly, no one says anything.
Rik been sub par the last few years, and 99 Percent of the time looks like he is bored out of his brain and is just there for his Ferrari pay Cheque, no one says anything.
See where im going with this.
LH has a few bad races by his standards and he should retire and he doesn't care..... right.. that makes sense.
This is probably the stupidest shit I’ve seen in the comment section on CZcams.
Unlike Alonso, Hamilton has never actually had a reason to complain. He has always been in top 3 cars at the very least throughout his career so when he whines it is because he is not used to the feeling. When Alonso whines it’s because he has already proven himself to be one of the best and without a doubt deserves to be in a better car. Instead he is forced to drive the 6th best car when he knows he could do better.
Grosjean has been HEAVILY criticised since Baku where he threw his car into a wall under safety car as well as not achieving any points in the season compared to his teammate.
Raikkonen has been sub par for the last few years I agree with you but people have been wanting/suggesting/speculating that he should quit because of this and a lot more reasons ever since it started happening.
Your points are completely wrong and I have absolutely no idea how or why you got upvotes on your comment.
Lightes Lightes okay. thanks for your feedback. I can't even be bothered to elaborate much.
your rude for no reason so i ain't even taking the time to read it all properly.
Erm,And its quite simple really. A few People liked my comment because they may have agreed with me.
Guess not everyone thinks its the 'stupidist s**t ever seen in the comment section on CZcams ay'
t8365 grow up, All of the best drivers moan if they’re not winning, and alonso is definitely one of the most toxic ones to bash his team.
Jordy1707 speak for your self, I'm grown but thanks. Ermm....okay thankyou for your opinion... which wasn't really needed, as its not really the point of my previous conversation.... But thanks for your polite input anyway.....such nice people here on CZcams. Next...?
t8365 just pointless name calling, I was being constructive on controversial comments.
Really good content so I definitely enjoyed the watch and please just take this as criticism, but why is the audio so bad? Lots of background noise and the voices sound muffled
The driver that is1point behind Vettel cone on people.. so disrespectful to even ask such a question
Stroll's rear camera showed that Hartley touched Stroll's rear left tyre, triggering the Canadian's attempt to correct, which turned him into Hartley. Stroll's first thought was that he had a puncture.
This was fantastic. Best one I've heard in a while. Can I have more, pls?
I'm kind of a new fan (I started watching around China last year) and so far I haven't found most races THAT boring because to me the sport itself is super exciting! Super good cars with super good drivers in them and I just love seeing that so the fighting is basically bonus (assuming they're pushing tho, that's what was disappointing lately)
Lewis retires, Alonso to Mercedes, Alonso 2019 World Champion
Alonso retires, Alonso to Indycar
Lets be honest here just because his had some bad races this year doesn't mean he should retire even though I am a Hamilton you lot act as if he should win every race and be on pole every race it doesn't work like that sometimes drivers have good races and bad races, also you lot were questioning about his personality and being disinterested when he loses it's not about being sour or disinterested is just because he has a born winner attitude or wear your heart on your sleeve or he may have a relaxing attitude which all sportstars have, also you people also complained that he says some races are boring when his not winning which he is correct don't forget a lot of fans have said that some races are boring but as soon as Hamilton says it he gets slated or criticised why???
YESS I'VE WANTED A STG COLLABORATION FOR AGES AND IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED. My 2 favourite CZcams channels
About the tyres - I would gamble and allow other tyre manufacturers to join. That would mean severe regulation changes and I would take them (even if that means 18 inch rims) for the sake of better racing. Pirelli seems to be lazy; and I would be too - having to develop the type of tyre that makes no sense from development point of view, and failing at making it suited for the sport instead. That makes their presence in F1 purely a PR case. I think the decision to move to these tyres was the worst since moving to the hybrid PUs (I like the idea of hybrid racing engines, but seriously a 1.6 litre hoover, how many people like that)
Don't force a second pitstop, just bring back refueling.
Great video WTF1!!! Keep it up!!
Some real talk going on :) good podcast
these videos are gold sam was hilarious keep them coming
He may have had some bad races & he may complain a lot, but he's a 4 time world champion. He's seen the sport evolve over the past 10+ years. He knows what's going on & he has a right to complain. And then people say "he wouldn't complain if he won", even Ricciardo was complaining after Monaco, so it's a mutual feeling between drivers.
Great content and opinions guys, just decided to watch by pure chance then subscribe, after seeing Sam from STG (whom I also subscribe to)
a podcast more exciting than most races this season
Any info on were you can purchase that f1 model car on the table looks really impressive?
What a stupid title. Next up : Should Ferrari quit Formula 1?
should formula one quit? jk this is just a way to click bait peeps
I agree
F1's new buzzfeed
No because they care
It's an actual topic we discuss within this episode, so why would it be a stupid title? It's a podcast full of discussion on loads of different areas!
You can do this on Livestream. It would be better than a video
When Jess was talking about the pressure on Hartley, and his team not wanting him there.
I recommend reading Perry McCarthy's book, he drove for Andrea Moda who signed him then got an offer from a pay driver. They tried to sack McCarthy but couldn't, so they ended up giving him a deathtrap of a car trying to kill him.
It's insane.
I actually only watch every lap of races now just so I can enjoy this podcast fully. The saddest thing about F1 today is that, my dad who introduced me to the sport just reads articles and keeps up to date on the mechanical aspects but doesn't watch races as much as he religiously did before.
I think that the tire compounds should be very different from each other, and that teams should be able to run only one compound if they want, this way we might see team going for flat out speed but more stops, and other going for a slower but staying on track longer strategy
Alonso is still really good in my opinion and I think that it is fair to say that he would look better if he actually did have a better car.
Sport needs to change some fundamental things in order to accomodate for actual racing is the core portion of the spectacle. My 3 suggestions would be:
- Simplify aero, for reasons we all know.
- Change budge focus, so that it allows top teams to have 3 drivers, therefore more drivers with a similar playing field.
- Change tires and the rules related. If you are going to force pitstops and compound change, then force Pirelli to develop fewer tires with same durability but with large speed differences. Or otherwise, allow cars that use the hardest compound to race without having to pit at all.
Here's an idea. You have to end the race on the same compound of tyre that you started/qualified on. (Not same exact tire, but same compound)
If you say "11 men a side, a ball and kick it in the net" then you can say "get in a car and drive in a circle" 🤔
oof
"I don't remember Alonso winning in a Minardi" Jesus Christ that was savage. I love it. Bring Sam back!
Damn I wish a video of me saying bullshit during 44 minutes would get 70k views
My 3 race review WTF1 IS AWSOME
I'd normally only listen to podcasts but I've got watching this for them legs
Mustafa I agree, Matty is a good looking guy.
SEEN THROUGH GLASS!!!!
If your worried about mandatory steps, check out the Supercars championship in Australia. The mandatory stops and fuel strategy makes every race exciting.
Did anyone realize when ali is in the podcast the race isn't boring (except Spain)
Love these podcasts, and amazing that Sam joined this one! Can't wait for more 'special' guests in the rest of the season
Anyone you'd like to see join us?
Tony Gravelwood! #fanboys
But that's a bit unrealistic I guess, since he hasn't got his own online presence
Hello one and all, welcome to seen thru glaaaasss
awesome as always.
One of my favourite bits on the channel
fucking hell sam is a god damn roaster. love him, please have him more often
around minute 26
I think we can resume Vettel's abilities compared to Alonso's on this little scheme:
Vettel Driving skills 9/10 Alonso 9.5/10
Vettel's car developing inclination 10/10 Alonso 2/10
SoundCloud? Please:)
This podcast was 95% about roosting Hamilton (No probleem with that by the way) and 5% about the grand prix and from that 5%, 4 was about Heineken en Fly emirates
this podcast hasn't aged very well..
Finally people who understand what I feel about F1. Thank you guys for an awesome 45 minutes!!!😁
As a die hard Lewis fan I agree Lewis expressed so much “I’ve done my best, the team has done an amazing job, this is the best result we can get.” But he’s not alone. Basically every driver who doesn’t win the race says that is the best the team can do. Alonso has been complaining ever since he moved to McLaren. Red Bull complains about the engine all the time. Kimi, Bottas just chilled in their second driver seats without putting a fight to their teammate or do something that could change the race. Ricciardo is hesitant on the contract just like Lewis. Basically most participants are either in a really bored state or they feel not able to change anything. F1 is really miserable right now. They need to make the beginning and middle part of the race quicker than the end. The tires are just so unpredictable that everybody plays it safe and runs on the same strategy. Also it is totally bizarre how racers put the fastest lap before a tire change. The race is just messed up right now.
Tbh there’s been a few actually nail biting races. They need to be more races like Bahrain 2014 for example everyone going wheel to wheel flat out
One interesting thing,they have so many Heineken sponsors but the champagne they spray on the podium is Chandon 😂
Either f1 needs stages, longer races, more mandatory stops, or similar regulations from the 80's and 90's era. Low downforce, massive tyres, insane HP
