2020 Portuguese Grand Prix: Qualifying Highlights 

If George doesn't have a drive for next year it will be a disgrace

It's the sad state... Latifi is no where near Russell but he brings money so he stays...

Unless you're drivng for one of the top teams, you need a billionaire dad to keep you in F1.

How many points did he score in f1?

@@EM-ou2dn how points has latifi scored, and how many championships does latifi have in the lower series??🤔

Bom Já era De Esperar

A typical GP weekend day as per 😂

Geez man 151 likes I only got 3

Ah yes i agree. The classic fp3 fp2 f1 q1 q2 for bottas, q3 and race for lewis

Is there any award for provisional pole...then bottas will take it

It is interesting to see though, that Bottas apparently is faster at getting results on a track, but Hamilton ultimately wins out. You could explain it as Bottas always starting with a safe setup, where Hamilton starts exploring options, until it is time for the money run.

@Super Alpaca yellow tires were faster yesterday

@Super Alpaca and the team informed them that they can choose soft or medium, and how many runs they want. ham opted to go for 3 runs 2 flying lap and 1 cooldown lap. while bot opted for 1 lap

😄😃😀😂😅

Same as Max in turkey with the best car

@@user-yooo 🤣🤣

@@user-yooo nice catch

Ya, like they would cut away from Hamilton peen for 2 seconds to show someone else. What're you thinking lol

😂

they gave ham the faster car

Nah they didnt give Hamilton faster car. Just watch Quali laps comparison and see the line bottas takes compared to lewis. He loses time off his own faults and choices

@@pythonedits9041 bruh he went perfect on 3 sectors and hamilton didint how

@@carlitoscepeda455 Bottas had purple in two sectors, not 3. The sector times are always in comparison to the current pole time. Bottas had two purple sectors compared to Hamilton's temporary pole, that doesn't mean much. After Bottas got provisional pole Hamilton had one purple sector compared to Bottas' time but that sector 2 purple was a bigger margin that made up for the other two sectors. Like PythonVFX said, look at the lap comparison and you'll see what happened.

yep

true!

If you lead the pack, then that opportunity arises.

Yes

there was a McLaren? 😐

Clarkson!

Yes but Mercedes let Hamilton 5 mins early to warm the tyres, looks like no one realized that Mercedes let Bottas too late to warm the tyres and make the second lap.

@@MasturBaso12 it was his decision to take one lap..

@@MasturBaso12 it was his decision to try to have as fresh tyres as possible at the end and have just one fast run

@@MasturBaso12 They were given options, Ham chose to have two runs with more fuel while Bottas chose to have one run with minimal fuel.

no need to destroy Valterri mentally, Bottas will never challenge Hamilton for a championship.

I've always thought that Hamilton purposely let's Bottas get P1 in practices to play with him mentally, it may sound cynical but it's very smart from Lewis whether you like him or not. It's also helped by the fact Bottas isn't as great as a driver as Hamilton, Verstappen, Leclerc, Ricciardo, etc

they've already won the championship so doesn't matter anymore

If there was such thing as Q4 Mercedes would use hards and they will be on the front row

I think if they used softs their time would be at 1:15

In their case, they could put a better time on mediums. It's because the tarmac is new, so very slippery, which means you get better grip on mediums.

Facts

It’s Mercedes giving him (secretly)more power. Seems way more plausible than peaking like that, everytime. Like once or twice; sure. But something fishy happening over there.

Boy, the haters sure don't want to hear that! They've been looking for excuses since Hamilton won his first championship. They're still looking

@@coolfer2 russel is mercedes junior and he hates redbull because they treated albon hard. Ironically your comment are the most unmake sense one

Many drivers drove 3 laps because by that they got the tires more warm and warm tires = quick

You should see his performance at Bahrain 2014 in that case.

Uhhh, 3 laps on mediums was the best option on this track

Dude , this is a short track and take more than a lap to heat thouse tyres. Don't get hyper ! Use your brain !

He's steady in the race, but he just never attacks Hamilton. I think Mercedes probably tell him to back off though

Not sure many noticed, but Bottas was two-tenths faster in Q2. If only that made any difference...

@@austriangroyper9308 we have already heard that merc doesnt really want bottas to challenge hamilton...

@@udit_shah Track conditions changed Q3. So thats why most didnt improved except lewis and charles

@@austriangroyper9308 I’ve been saying this from time. They favour Hamilton over bottas. Look at the way they where celebrating when he got pole. Ask urself. If bottas got that will they be cheering like that? They want Lewis to break Schumacher record. In a way they give him the edge but I respect bottas so much for being humble and always trying his best. He gives his best and even when he wins. He’s still humble. I hope he challenge Lewis tommorow and go for the win

What a car

Means everyone is getting lapped.

It was faster than the soft. Just like at the 70th anniversary GP

the mediums were faster than the softs

it means that tire works best with their car.

Mediums were outperforming the softs on Q3... no point in running mediums there if not so

fela_soprano 🙏

Mediums were getting more grip, this was a genius strat

If Lewis is leading this race by 5 seconds or more the FIA will deploy there designated crash or stop on track car ,it was installed in F1 in 2007 , it’s called the stop the run away Lewis act to make it fair for underprivileged very rich kids that race in F1.

Checo Perez, beating his team mates since Sauber 😎

@@guyeysseric9442 yep you are right but checo beat him on the drivers ranking... Checo 8th occon 12th lol....

I rest my case your Honor!

Interestingly could be powerful for the unusual weekend of Q3 mediums, since they need more time to be in the perfect window and the start of hotlap 1 might be very slightly below temp. The initial wear drop-off into lap 2 is probably almost non-existent for M compared to the usually harsh S that does penalize 2nd consecutive laps. Still trying to wrap my head around how the Mercs managed to make M the fastest compound of the weekend. Excessive S tyre heat maybe?

Schumacher and Hamilton are beasts.

There s a difference . Schumi got bigger challenges . Lewis got zero challenges . Nico left early and what he got then is a bodyguard teammate and an overpowered car .

Let's see if it creates exciting races first, I have low expectations because Mercedes.
