2017 Russian Grand Prix: Qualifying Highlights

[@EngineeringExplained]

These new highlights are the best! Thanks for giving those of us who can't watch the races these great summaries!

[@sever9268]

good to see you here

[@EugeneNaidoo]

TIme difference...

[@Chopin1995]

Engineering Explained here!!?? Hello everyone and welcome!!! Hi from Poland :)

[@HyP3b0Y]

Yeah, as Bernie left, F1 uses all the social media as they should have years ago! But finally we get these cool highlights. :)

[@incubrian]

like if you pictured that comment in his voice and spoken in front of a white dry erase board ;)

[@goose96112]

Vettel on pole: "Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!" Kimi on pole: "Okay."

[@RedTheSparrow]

bwoah

[@kantnklaar]

mwoh

[@seersam]

Garon Moore That calls for a consolation ice cream!

[@davideloi9176]

I love him. He makes me laugh so much. Maybe if he had taken pole he would have smiled a little bit

[@goose96112]

Elijah Contreras Velasco Yeah, I relate too. Pole position is great, but using it to win the race is what you celebrate.

[@HashNOMore]

Martin brundle: "Hamilton's REALLYYY on a hot lap" End ups finishing 4th by half a second lol

[@theholydribble5905]

PG yeah cause he didnt have the pace in the final sector. his lap was good up until then. seemed to be his problem all weekend

[@lukadzidic8211]

That's british bias for you, he could go p10 and they'd be cumming all over the screen, it's disgusting how almost all british commentators in all sports are like that

[@sam_sey]

Luka Džidić or maybe it was because he put in the fastest first sector by some margin. Put your agenda against Hamilton aside for once

[@aemerite4023]

PG he had a great lap until he made a mistake.

[@dan_t3702]

Martin did a little of drama there. He was a F1 driver, pretty sure that he know that at this circuit tyres temperature is critical. If the driver push hard in first and second sector, he will lost time in third sector. We have to wait until the end to know who is fastest

[@techreviews407]

Ferrari's gotta work on their handshake 5:00

[@sever9268]

lol, they aren't used to it.

[@seersam]

Rob Eradus LMAO

[@andreamoroni97]

Rob Eradus One of them just tought at a longer handshake, but the other one just started to explaining something.

[@ecardona53]

They're secretly bloods.

[@Veroxyde]

OH, NO. *cringe intensifies*

[@SkampyMAN]

it´s so weird hearing that kind of happiness from Sebastian, even though I watched this live, oh how the time has changed, it´s such a shame it didn´t end up differently the 2017 season, only if he had no reliability issues and the crash in Singapore wouldn´t happen, he would have won the title by 24 points

[@jesselafors2001]

I am actually curious now how you got to 24 points. Did you calculate him getting first in Japan or something or am I missing something?

[@granmaxlecet6598]

seems raikkonen is getting much comfortable

[@randomname9949]

Kimi is used to his car now, so he is probably going to be the fastest ;D

[@FernandoRodriguez-jl7el]

kimi will drop to fourth

[@andreamoroni97]

Robert Tjandra I think he's done P2 thanks to the climate and the slippery surface, a perfect combination for a finnish driver.

[@pvit97]

Robert Tjandra He had a lot of understeer in the previous races. He's known for driving badly with an understeery car. But now he said that he feels more confident with the new setup. I think we could see the real Kimi tomorrow

[@Mandrak789]

I wish him to have great season, lot of people were sending him to retirement, but I am sure he still knows a trick or two :)

[@MrOmarlap]

First time since the 2008 French GP that we have a Ferrari 1-2 in quali!

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Wow. It's been that long, eih?

[@asadiku]

Thanks, we already heard that in the video...

[@harissyafiq65]

9 years goddam

[@Vekkuli001]

Raikkonen was so close. I feel sad for him as he finally doesn't have understeer problems.

[@TavalineGamer]

Why sad then? All to play for then tomorrow and coming races!

[@Vekkuli001]

He's latest pole was in 2008 I believe, that's why I'm sad about it. But yeah I can't wait for tomorrow!

[@ethancage152]

Raz Everyone improved on their second flying lap, but Kimi ran wide on the final corner. I believe he would have had pole had he not done that. He finished 0.059 behind Seb. Very unlucky

[@TavalineGamer]

I'm sure he will get one this season if this keeps up. As a Seb fan I really feel happy for Ferrari. Their racepace is better than Mercs'

[@Vekkuli001]

Okay let me interrupt this argument before it gets out of hand.

[@Hawktotalwar]

I'm a Williams fan and is great to see an original rival Ferrari back on the front row. Looking forward to see Stroll complete his first grand prix of the season. But man the difference between skill with Hulkenburg and Palmer. Palmer shouldn't even be in f1

[@TheKJHD98]

I honestly think Palmer is the worse driver on the grid, just shows how good the Renault is this season by Hulkenburg's performances, if someone like Alonso was in Palmer's place the Renault would be the 4th best team on the grid behind the big 3, Williams would be close but Stroll is shite too

[@FernandoRodriguez-jl7el]

i think palmer will probably be out next season alongwith kvyat

[@melaskan7286]

Alonso back in the Renault... wouldn't be a bad thing.

[@best___0999]

Curtis I i am a huge ferrari fan, my favourite drivers are Hamilton and vettel, but i really would like to see the Williams at the top again, they do not win a championship from 1982 with keke Rosberg i think, hopefully Paddy lowe can do something :)

[@best___0999]

***** yeah you have reason, hopefully Williams will be competitive in v6h era as you said, is so sad for me see them fight for 6 or 7 th place

[@KRAYZIEBONE1017]

Notice at the exchange of facial expressions between Toto Wolffe and Niki Lauda when the Mercedes are heading up the pitlane at the beginning of Q3. 😂

[@francescocherubini96]

After 3 years of "Do What you want but Mercedes will take pole, exception made for cases in which they have problems" we've finally beaten them fair and square.

[@ondrej1112]

FinderMac The forgot to bring some extra oil it seems

[@andreamoroni97]

Ondřej Thei gain only in the first sector, their magic button it's usefull only there.

[@Ofitus21]

FinderMac We? Didn't know you worked for Ferrari

[@francescocherubini96]

Ofitus 21 I've been a tifoso since my birth. So it's appropriate to use "we" as we use this expression for football teams and nobody complains about it. (By the way I've been using this term also in difficult years like 2016)

[@andreamoroni97]

FinderMac Sì ma è sbagliato, che tu sia tifoso dalla nascita o meno non hai fatto nulla, hai solo dato il supporto, quindi i meriti sono del personale e basta, non di noi tifosi.

[@absolutelegend5435]

this 2017 Formula 1 season is pure GOLD !!!!

[@miromursu]

Where are the people who were firing Bottas after China?

[@miro5512]

Yeah, or Kimi?

[@seacucumber6768]

Miro Leinonen Bottas is wiping the smiles out of all doubters faces in a stoic fashion. I'm betting on Bottas winning tomorrow's race.

[@bdfgdfghdfhgfitdfyutdtydry]

Ponyyish What lol? He beat Hamilton.

[@DavidR747]

Here!! :) Nothing against him but he just hasn't the skill to drive the Mercedes, he's a good number 2 driver or just a good driver for a midfield team.

[@seacucumber6768]

DavidR747 Lol you're a fucking tool. Remember 2014 in Germany when he defended lap after lap against Hamilton in a way inferior car? You just don't know skill when you see it.

[@marcio1745]

So good to see this from the official F1 Channel ... THANK YOU... Finally I feel like I'm in 2017

[@joseeduardoprado1538]

Sebastian did a fantastic jod today! Awesome qualify, i hope the race tomorrow be on the same level (=

[@purwantiallan5089]

Still watching these 2017 qualifying highlights waiting for F1 2020

[@dolphinoegglet7263]

LOVING THESE HIGHLIGHTS!!!

[@indianmapper170]

Well now all Vettel has to do is look out for flying torpedoes

[@iamthereasonyoucame]

Some say Mercedes is still sandbagging

[@kebeiwjwgseywgw5590]

The Sidz dude mercedes is sandbagging!! They are sandbagging 7 seconds!!! You will seee in 2079!!!

[@TruenoBestWaifu]

LMAO, BEST COMMENT

[@lx1489]

they are sandbagging til the 10th GP and then they turn up their engine on 100%...to make F1 great again u know

[@TheCameltotem]

Gotta sandbag in qualy to confuse the race.

[@PilotJohnSilver]

Yes, till the very last race of the season! xD

[@KRAYZIEBONE1017]

Has anyone else noticed how great the quality is? This is an amazing improvement. 😀

[@BabaDerBaer80]

The priceless expression of Laufa and Wolf at 3:30 pretty much proves that those who still say they are sandbagging are nuts...

[@christiansawaya5325]

who needs sexy laps when you have sebastian vettel laps

[@nazarenovallejos]

Be careful front line, Kvyaldonado is on the middle of the grid...

[@seersam]

Nazareno Vallejos TORPEEEDOOOOOOOOOOO

[@23kj75]

fuck off Lurry

[@imranhq13]

Nico Hulkenberg and Romain Grosjean are two exceptional drivers unfortunately don't have a very good car right now

[@imranhq13]

what's ur point?

[@Palondrian]

Imran Haque Only Hulk, Romain is not very special

[@wastefellow2569]

Imran Haque, Grosjean?

[@GstarCurtis]

10 long years.. Hopefully this will be the year!

[@Toastybear1]

fair play to them- fully deserved after the last 2 years!! Formula one is great again!!!!!

[@ArnabDuttaTicklu]

Forja Ferrari... Way to go.. love the results from Qualifying... now go win the race.

[@11vag]

I was a bit skeptical about Liberty taking on my beloved Formula 1, but I like what they are doing so far. Thanks.

[@awknite]

Thank you Liberty media

[@sisitaylor7146]

FERRARI IS THE WINNER!!! SEB+KIMI=THE BEST

[@horsepower523]

Very exciting quali and a perfect result in the end. Ferrari is back where it belongs! All-red front row...simply beautiful. Hopefully more of the same in the race. #ForzaFerrari

[@SimiK97]

FORZA FERRARI

[@soupe2000]

Hamilton 4th?? Bottas 3rd???? I don't know if it's because that no mercedes are on the top or because that Bottas beats again Hamilton, shock me!

[@skijumpingmaster]

soupe2000 Probably that Ferraro got 1-2. Or better get used to Bottas beating Hamilton, I believe that he is going to win Qualis 15-5 against Hamilton

[@abhirammmm]

soupe2000 Because you under estimated bottas.

[@EmSpro]

How long till Hamilton gets pissy about Bottas beating him like he did with Nico?

[@cesarg4328]

If Bottas finishes in better position that Hamilton tomorrow, that´d be it. IMO

[@RhettJesusHarambe]

EmSpro Bottas is a more likeable character than Rosberg so I don't think it would work out well if he did

[@velegiannis8543]

if you pause at 2:30 you will see something great

[@berebecants]

Fazia anos que eu não sentia tanto prazer em assistir uma classificação! Parabéns a nova adminstração da Formula 1!

[@huafelszellem2664]

What happens with the 1080p quality? honestly...

[@TheGAVstudio]

Huafel Szellem Oh my god SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[@seersam]

Huafel Szellem the video just came out.. yt has to process it

[@mtrps_]

..is this youtube or pong?

[@arttupaqvalin6392]

I dont know why is this recommened to me but im not complaining

[@adityats2020]

Gonna be one heck of a race!

[@everartaraujo]

Massa is doing a incredible job! if you take a look, the way he is driving now it is totally different from the last season. unfortunately he doesn't have a car to fight for podiums.

[@J.S14]

Go Seb Go! You Can Do It Tomorrow!!!

[@thorlecou57]

i'ts this year vettel and ferrai time forza ferrari 😊

[@insideline2162]

THIS LAP IS ON FIRE!!!

[@TakashiNippon]

Yes my fav driver in pole and two Ferraris gonna be an epic race.

[@imranhq13]

hope f1 was in every week! those 2 week gaps r so painful

[@skiiwine9973]

waiting again for Mclaren-Honda jokes.

[@thedia6698]

You have to wait indeed, as they are quite slow....

[@goose96112]

fecc hdhe I gotta laugh to keep from crying.

[@tamzidzuha4333]

fecc hdhe k, here is the joke Lance Stroll to McLaren Honda

[@goose96112]

Tamzid Zuha NO STOP that would bankrupt them! lol

[@tonywu7298]

McLaren-Honda itself is the joke.

[@hyundaifan7546]

"That was Sebastian Vettel's lap"

[@nicolaspegoraredangelo89]

I've come to the future to say VETTEL IS FIVE FUCKING TIMES WORLD CHAMPION

[@rdlyx._.]

Nícolas Pegorare No one cares.

[@francocabral3217]

Oh

[@monNkeyy2k13]

Hülkenberg future Formula 1 star ! :D

[@ondrej1112]

leyko He already is a well known and respecred driver in F1, but he is a bit old to become a real star and it seems that the middle of the grid is the place to shine for him

[@monNkeyy2k13]

ofc bro but, in future he will drive for 1 of the best teams . safe call :D

[@D3HuC]

leyko Hulk and Merc need each other

[@lx1489]

Hulk deserves a top team cockpit since he won 24h Le Mans... everyone on the grid knows he could be one of the fastest...that is just a fact

[@ondrej1112]

Not sure about that. I think he will stay in Renault, however there is a good chance that Renault will be one of those top teams.

[@kobebryant2566]

What a performance by Ferrari so far this weekend. Bottas looking like Rosberg. Delivering a clean lap when it counts. Lewis seems like he doesn´t really fit with the difficult circuit. Looking forward to a very intense battle between Mercedes and Ferrari today. Anything can happen in the race especially the first corner can bring up the safety car immediately.

[@AloofPanda34]

Joylon Palmer will be replaced by XMattyg

[@sever9268]

for sure, anyone is better than him lol. that video about him driving at renault was actually a test drive to find a replacement lol.

[@viandramonisyaf8623]

Ryan Kelly you know nothing. so gtfo

[@rryankellyy]

Viandra160 How do you know what I know when you don't know what I know?

[@f1visionary866]

Why did they remove the mini sectors beneath the timing, I really liked those, they helped understand what was going on and there is no reason I can think of to remove them

[@TheBoeingE]

VikzillaPlayz, the mini sectors during live sessions were messing up the live Timings thats why they don't display them anymore during Qualifying. They recently posted a video were they included them afterwards so they are still there, just not live

[@pali1H]

Fantastic to see. Hopefully, Ferrari can keep up in the development race.

[@kingwindie]

This year is really exciting The finger is back

[@MrAquabubbles]

This was the first qualifying i'd missed in 5 years...

[@GayForRazör]

Good quality video with 50 fps. Thanks you F1!

[@Radekval1]

YES...SEB and Ferrari....Ferrari Forever!!!

[@royraiden]

Just imagine how the mid 90's/ early 2000's footage would look if the cameras used were capable of 60fps.

[@Club-Version]

Yes yes yes yes finally some amazing competition!!

[@GoFish.1]

Kimi loved that car

[@SantiniDelamuta]

As fábricas dominam a F1. As equipes decoram o ambiente.

The qualifying was more interesting than the race

[@sisitaylor7146]

SEBASTIAN VETTEL THE CHAMPION

[@Response166]

Honestly... brilliant :)

[@EmanASMR]

Nice to see some change :)

[@RobM93784]

Ferrari is for real this year.

[@fkh3556]

after 10 years of getting worse each season, F1 finally gets good and exciting.

[@ThirdSon71]

Jolyon Palmer is a future world champion

[@caulifla-san2069]

I'm a lewis fan, but hearing seb celebrate like that really made me slime not gonna lie. Looking forward to today.

[@kanavkapoor3055]

Any RB fans wanna cry with me over the 2 second gap to pole?

[@Moonshine1147]

Kanav Kapoor Spain mate, Spain....

[@dariocarpita686]

Rubin Lucassen if you think is just the engine think twice,hulkenberg is right there so chassis and aero are weak too

[@diogeneslantern18]

Kudos to Liberty for uploading this on the same day. Could never say the same about Emperor Ecclestone's regime

[@yourjokesaretotallyfromthe8909]

Hamilton was like "fuck qualifying, I'm gonna *drift* instead"

[@skijumpingmaster]

Ferrari got first row lockout quicker again than McLaren Honda finished a race

[@damilolaadeniji1434]

Joosua Lahti I will give you that

[@AlvinDarmawan05]

I really wanted Kimi to be on pole, but hey at least it's a Ferrari! #ForzaFerrari 🔴

[@Iragusama]

Hulkemberg and Massa are years away of their teammates... feels sad to see them in such mid field cars.

[@kaikailele]

Did Martin Brundle use Singlish at 2:58? I thought I heard, "It's out lah, people just want track position..."

[@daviddelatorregallardo6748]

New rules after the Russian race: 1: The poleman of Q3 will gain 5 points. 2: The driver of the day in the race will gain 10 points 3: The driver with the fastest lap of the race will win 15 points

[@freedommakerjesusstar8774]

FORZA FERRARI

[@TheBrass18]

Why is Palmer even in F1? There are 10 drivers who a better than him. Pierre Gasly should take his place. French Driver in a French Team.

[@infernium2068]

Somebody get Kobayashi out of retirement and put him in Palmer's seat.

[@montega3808]

SEBASTIAN VETTEL 👆🇩🇪🇮🇹 YES YES YES

[@mateofrara]

AND YEEES, waiting for Mclaren-Honda jokes.

[@im2sick2quit]
