It's all single file until someone hits a barrier, then it's more single file, except at that point it's behind a safety car. Cars are too long and wide nowadays for that track.

The difference is you probably didn't take time to learn about the ERS? Vettel used everything out of his ERS to make up the time before he pitted (+2sec down to Hamilton) and (+24sec I think for the pitstop). After that Vettel got past him when Hamilton came out of the pits and when Hamilton went for it Vettel didn't had any ERS anymore to defend. I didn't say Hamilton is bad, but plz stop doing like he's a god or something just because he again overtook Vettel, first look at the facts and not only on what happened.

My opinion Vettel - pure racing driver who has a will to win at all costs. keeps his private life seperate from his professional life. doesn't use any kind of social media to ensure this. always determined and focused on his next race or season (e.g only driver to visit pirelli factory, at the end of every gp weekend he immediately flies back to work on the simulator for the next race) Hamilton - wants to be a celebrity and leave behind a legacy in Formula 1, unable to keep private and professional lives separate. posts a few stupid things on twitter on occasion. head drops when he's having girl trouble. They're both fantastic drivers in their own right. Maybe Hamilton would beat Vettel in the same car, but I know which one I support.

Hamilton é um monstro... 🏁

[@feelthat8367]

It's crazy how quick Seb was in F3 even tough it was his first year and Lewis was already in his 2nd year.

[@MT-pv2rf]

Vettel lost to Paul Di Resta in the same car in his second season of F3. Hamilton won F3 and GP2 in 2005 and 2006 before nearly winning the F1 title in 2007 as a rookie. Realistically he should have won the title that year but did win it in his second season.

@@MT-pv2rf Vettel had no 2 seasons in F3 if im not mistaken. Lewis had 2 seasons

@@MT-pv2rf Dude, there aren't any fucking vids of that shit, how am i supposed to know that? I don't care if he lost to him i don't care what type of shit you're talking about all I know is that he is one of the bests out there and I've never heard that Vet lost to Paul from anybody... 😂

Just seen this video. Just amazing to see it. if only any one of them could have known in 2005 who those 2 would be..

More exciting than belgium gp

[@srinathshettigar379]

This was more entertaining than most of the f1 races so far!!!

[@justbetabbycat]

Whole lot of respect to Hamilton

[@nigel2373]

anyone else watching this is 2017 after that incident between vettel and lewis? love this sport!

[@brucealidanger6256]

Hamilton. Vettel. Hat off.

[@j-pgeldenhuys2262]

Would looove to see these to battle like this in this years championship.

[@champion1642]

What people fail to realize here is that in exact same cars (spec wise) defending takes a good drivers, but overtaking, takes a great driver. That's why I rate Hamilton higher than Vettel.

[@Und1234]

Vettel was 17 and Hamilton was 20. You might not think that age makes a difference but it clearly does. Hamilton was further along his development.

[@magyarwarrior880]

Vettel was a rookie this saison while Hamilton was not a rookie and more experience than Vettel. and btw the F3 cars are not the same. Read the reglement and you find out every car is different

[@lukadzidic8211]

At that year f3 wasn't a spec series xD

[@TheDazzler420]

@@lukadzidic8211 still all the manufacturers had different aero atleast

[@lycian123]

Hamilton planned that overtake to take place across the previous 4 corners. Quite extraordinary.

[@perropeligro25]

Fantastic defending from Vettel in a season wich Hamilton absolutely dominated. He had the better set-up car and here you can see how compared to him Vettel was struggling like no tomorrow.

[@perropeligro25]

Mainly since and because Britain 2008, when he finished 1m08s ahead of the rest in a soaking Race

[@Mformularacer]

+Fateless Stuff - a lot of that had to do with circumstance. raikkonen was catching him at a rate of knots before the idiotic ferrari pitwall didn't change his tyres in the pits and left him out on worn intermediates.

[@MT-pv2rf]

Stop talking rubbish. Hamilton's car is sliding around all over the place behind Vettel whose car clearly looks more planted in these conditions. Its a spec series so there cars are identical but in terms of setup it looks like Hamilton's car has a loose front end, probably because of how comfortable he is with oversteer while Vettels car looks like its dialed in to the track and is on rails. Hamiltons superior car control and reflexes are clearly visible in the video. If they were in the same team now Hamilton would eat him for breakfast

[@furlo4state]

M T Classic Ham fanboy who cant admit that both drivers are brilliant

[@phasivex3295]

Francesco MagikFurli it’s not even that read the comment properly

[@GTElwood]

wow, what a show by those two drivers. Pure stuff. Seems almost like karting rather than F3. Amazing.

[@sdewey4152]

Vettel shined just a tad brighter than Lewis over the years.

[@MT-pv2rf]

Shaun Dewey not shining brighter now. Hamilton has more success than Vettel in f1. 4 titles each but Hamilton is miles ahead in race wins and poles.

[@SoulCaliburDeathCrie]

Yeah this didn’t age well at all, Vettel doesn’t compare to Lewis at all lol

[@iwill6002]

What a great clip. Wish current f1 was just as lively!

[@gman16478]

Lewis was and still is better than Vettel, but both are great drivers.

[@АлексейРуин-к5я]

Pure racing! Pure speed! Pure skill! Well done for best drivers!

[@TADP0LE9806]

No DRS = good racing

[@numoverper]

People can say what they want on Lewis Hamilton but there is no other pilot who brings that much of excitement in a race.

[@Skies_of_Neptune]

Wow these guys are good they should try formula 1

[@BlackSunOfNile]

Fantastic Video its a shame I didnt Follow those races at the time

[@The_Dark_Lord-69]

Wow! I've suddenly developed a huge respect for Vettel...

[@romzaish]

"Aux âmes bien nées, la grandeur n'attend point le nombre d'années". Well done to both.
