The only reason why he’s outperforming the Red Bull is because the car was literally built to suit MV’s style. I believe the Mercedes was built to suit LH’s style and LH is just an overall better driver than VB, which is why LH is outperforming VB by quite a bit.

I love how everyone is praising the car as if they can drive on same level as this dude.

[@moeez1211]

The car does deserve some praise though! Not saying Lewis isn’t an incredible driver tho. The car was in fire, but only a driver like Lewis can extract every drop of performance throughout the whole lap.

[@caolanfitzpatrick3104]

It feels like after every qualifying everyone’s thinking what happened Ferrari? And f1 posts a video of Hamilton’s pole lap. And everyone hopes max can do something to challenge Mercedes

[@fablewalls]

Max IS "challenging Mercedes..." He's a couple of .0000s behind Bottas and he's also ahead of him in the standings.

[@caolanfitzpatrick3104]

Yes that’s called challenging Mercedes

[@joaoalves1804]

More like challenging botas cus he aint touching lewis, Redbull is throwing everything into him but its not gonna happen

[@matinazzam1346]

It'll be a returning theme this season i guess

[@theronbowie3125]

Man just knows what he’s doing...at the highest level and best in the field.

[@jumbo8996]

Just brilliant - There is no one alive that could match that lap. Having raced myself i can honestly say there is something almost haunting about how he drove on that lap. We may never see anything like it again, in my opinion the greatest driver of all time.

[@Nero-ox5tw]

I’ve been watching F1 for well over a decade. The fact that he barely had to brake is just astounding to me. Some of corners he was just full on the throttle that a few years back, you had to release a bit to hit the apex.

[@sarangsharma5346]

Mercedes, the car that really turns, it turns wherever you want it to without snapping even by a bit, amazing love the car

[@directx872]

Yeah it just turns. It's incredible. Watch just right after kemmel straight. No other car can do that

It’s a travesty that it’s the fastest formula 1 car in history, and hardly anyone saw it race in the flesh

[@eugenempatheni]

What a lap. What a car. What a driver and what a dedication to Chadwick!!

[@dylandog1289]

Learning this track right now. That final switchback that demands basically a full stop of the car is insane. So hard to go that slow after going flat most of the track.

[@ivancarloscustodio9400]

0:57 How is this possible? My Goodness!!

[@2jzandys444]

This was an unbelievable lap, but it just shows how fast that 919 evo was. This is only half a second quicker in the best car ever made

[@speeddemon2901]

A car that broke rules... The Mercedes was fast as well as legal under the rules set by FIA.

[@jacobruiz97]

@@speeddemon2901The 919 didn’t “break” any rules, it is simply a concept car. Also, it was made with much older hardware and under a significantly lower budget and timeframe than the W11.

[@paultyga4153]

Dude 919 had no rules. Come with a car made with regulations. Then we can talk. We know that Porsche fan boys never give the compliment for Mercedes. Cry more

[@D4rrr]

Full-throttle Pouhon. That must be the best feeling ever

[@bertos910]

Love your content Formula 1, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel. Thank you for motivation.

[@juliom3775]

0:39 anybody knows what's that vibration? Never seen anything like that before, but it's been present on this year's Mercedes twice, more especifically if you watch Lewis' pole in Hungary at T3 and of course here. Pretty sure it has to do with mega high downforce.

[@donalsam829]

Interesting, I wanna see someone answer as well.

[@donalsam829]

It could just be the engine hitting some kind of resonance.

[@dianamaioru497]

Could he have hit his rear back wheel off the kerb on the right? The car may be slightly wider in the back.

[@ErgoAvi]

I can tell you with confidence that it’s the effect of the helicopter riding a tad bit too low at that point of the track.

[@nolancain8792]

@@donalsam829that’s exactly what it is. Some of the current cameras do it too, about at 10K RPM.

[@revrift6447]

1:00 I literally had to rewatch him take the curve flat out cuz I couldn't believe it

[@paulrichards1011]

The flat throttle through the faster corners was unbelievable and entry grip also was amazing, and other than the very slight too late braking into the last corner,that was the most perfect lap I have ever seen of any car category ever.

[@reid1420]

I can't tell how many times I've watched this, I just keep coming back.

[@tayodada]

Let’s Credit the world’s best driver , great to see brains first rather than brawn being used that is often highlighted with black athletes. Lewis’s talent is undeniable 🤘🏾

[@KingArthas]

Same time tomorrow: Lewis Hamilton adds another win to his career tally...

[@nath-wp7xp]

Only because of his car. He’s not that good of a driver. If every driver drove the exact same car, he would be dead last in every race.

[@enyaliosares4301]

[@LifeHacks-mv3nw]

I still cannot get over how Pouhon looks so effortless... This car is something else

[@onabalona1]

I went to the last day of winter testing back in February. It really was apparent in real life that this Merc is just stuck to the road, way more than any other car. It looked completely secure and stable through every corner, whereas all the other cars showed that slight speed wobble that you expect from a car at speed. Truly in a class of its own.

[@jaitendevjani]

Late breaking into Bus stop was so good 😍

[@JanJvG]

Maybe het did it Nigell Mansell style. Braking foot on top of the throttle foot just tot make sure you dont accidently lift 😁
