[@swazi5]

I wish my car responded with the speed of a naughty boy being hauled away from the sweet counter by his mum when he's had too many fizzy cola bottles...

[@troychim8219]

Swaz hahaha I heard that tooo

[@TastyChevelle]

Fucking Crofty, man

[@swazi5]

Just oddly projecting his childhood behaviors onto formula 1 cars, nbd

[@GholamFareed]

Swaz what a really dumb abstract analogy!!!

[@DonAmnesia]

He could've just said the car responded quickly, without an analogy, or with a much more simple analogy, maybe like: The car responded like a jumpy rabbit.

[@kacperNFS]

This camera work during Hamilton's lap was the best of the year by far.

[@supercatfelix]

Did anyone else zone out during Crofty’s commentary on Hamilton’s lap? The sound of the Merc being driven like that + the sound + camera work, is hypnotising.. Absolutely Phenomenal.

[@AmanAli-dc1sy]

Just as well they didn't use the Monaco TV director on that lap

[@Onedayilbeok]

I read your comment before I heard him and I was ready for something stupid and he didn't let me down lol

[@ThomasWilliams89]

I hate Croft even more than Jonathan Legard. I have no idea how he got this job. He should have stuck to darts.

[@GholamFareed]

Kanav Kapoor he's trying to be too clever for his own good that's all, I don't see how that analogy is relevant to what was going on!!!

[@cbence96]

I didnt believe I would say this, but the engine at 4:22 almost sounds glorious

[@Malc180s]

What engine sound?

[@andhika8430]

mercedes's power engine mode allows the engine to rev higher-it's creating better sound

[@x_rod]

The engine sounds are getting better, so much improvement since 2014

[@gabor6259]

Czékus Bence, szerintem az még mindig messze van tőle. I think it's still far from glorious.

[@Lilz719]

[@sebastianramirez5276]

2:50 to 4:30 I'm not a Ham fan but I gotta admit, that was magical

[@kkurzeid]

It worries me how for every Grosjean and Magnussen crash the team radio response is "I don't know"...

[@forzatoby]

kkurzeid BRAKE ISSUE

[@azzifyy5988]

I really loved how they followed Hamilton's lap from outside the car, seeing the way it leans and the speed he carried was impressive, they need to do it more often.

[@shayanmahar6714]

If vettel wins all the remaining races and Hamilton finishes 2nd, vettel would win the championship by 1 point

[@hendrikjohansen8847]

Shayan Mahar u are so confident. Unfortunately u should know, that Hamilton won't grab a towel that easily.

[@hugoboss917]

Hendrik Johansen its just a fact - maths, he never said it will happen, little fan boy

[@magomez1]

[@TheHadrian54]

That full lap offride was amazing to hear and watch! If the 2018 cars sound just a bit better it's gonna be really cool!

[@diazzsama]

2017 V6T is actually sounds good, not older generations good, but still nice. It's just onboard microphone sucks and sound mixing on television for live races is kinda weird.

[@ThomasWilliams89]

its just you. You've just gotten used to the turd sound.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Hamilton's lap was a stunner - the way that Mercedes changed direction at 300 kmph -- that first corner was taken at 330! 130R was taken flat out -- sitting and watching it you can see that extra speed, it's crazy! Would have loved to see some gs. This is why Suzuka is one of my all time favourites, this track is a roller coaster! And would you believe it, that GP2 engine made it to Q3!!!

Also wanted to add that I am really impressed with Vandorne's performance. He has been giving Fernando Alonso a run for his money. Can't wait to see what he does with the Renault engine next year. The chassis may be the best on the track to date.

Unpopular opinion: The V6 sound is better than the older engines because you can watch a whole race without getting annoyed by a bunch of mosquito sounding cars.

[@KNDCHV]

I've seen retarded opinions but this is on another level. V8 > V6. Nuf said.

[@MrYeezy77]

What exactly is a retarted opinion? They're opinions, there's no wrong or right opinion, and that's mine. Don't get me wrong, the V8 was amazing but hearing it over and over again for 2 hours is exhausting. The V6 is less aggressive on the ears, and I'm sure everyone that works with the cars agrees with me, they could barely talk in the garage when the engine was on

[@campbell4show]

#TeamV8

I agree with this when it comes to the V10s. But I feel as if the V8s are the sweet spot, between the V6 and V10

Best thing is to avoid all the media/comments, because it is totally full of bucketheads, making this sport ugly, horrible internet trend... the fans, the crowds, supporters, people that attend races, people enjoy the race sitting next to each other being a fans of different teams and drivers, it is absolutely a different world versus internet.
