THAT Controversial F1 2007 Hungarian GP Pole Lap! Can I Beat it?

[@Ben_Read2009]

First. Great vid. Please pin???

[@Tom97]

You got it.

[@MarcoVerma]

I love it when the time is really competitive and you have to work really hard for it

[@Mateosomeone]

Couple of good suggestions for pole laps: 1. Alonso's last in f1 for now Germany 2012 2. since he has been dominant as of late, Verstappen's first pole in Hungary 2019 plus its and excuse to get the cracking and banging sound of the Red Bull Honda cars

[@elplan3605]

I'll never get tired of looking at this car

[@krassegurkegaming1446]

You could maybe do a series of driving modern cars on old/historic tracks. I would absolutely love this kinds of videos. Keep up the great work.

[@CarlosSantos-gz2xp]

These are legit my favorite videos. Classic qualy laps. That one in Vegas was mega, the sound of those cars and track. Great history lessons too!

[@AkaczF1]

Man 2007 was so Crazy Even if there were only 2 Teams Winning

[@K0BRAH95]

Back in the 2000’s teams would try running the bare minimum TC, if you’d set it to 1 and a click or 3 more front wing I bet you’d beat both times

[@Tom97]

Well I maxed out the front wing... I do agree maybe lower TC might have been worth it, I did try 2.

[@tehlarsie]

Doesn't the TC setting in AC work in reverse though? A setting closer to 1 means higher degree of TC intervention.

[@K0BRAH95]

@@Tom97 ah I didn’t see the front wing thing 😅 but yeah this car understeered a bit, seems like AC f1 cars need extreme settings, gt7 can be like that with understeer too and u end up putting the bb all to the rear

[@fernandomanzanares5555]

Unbelievable that, 18 years later, both will still be racing in F1.

[@annjacobs7764]

Loved this! Always entertaining to watch your videos.

The poleman was the one starting 1st on Sunday until 2022, when they changed it because of the Sprint Weekend. Remember Michael at Monaco 2012. He was not the poleman. Or Hamilton at Barcelona that same year. It was Maldonado who got Pole Position.

[@medvedarci]

Maybe a bit lower rear wing or higher rear ARB would help the understeer in high speeds. But it might be a bit more challenging on throttle exits.

[@Ang1609_]

great vid as always! you should try to beat the last pole lap at the old Hockenheimring, from 2001, by Juan Pablo Montoya, would love to see that!

[@thedd3737]

I find it crazy that you set the same laptime to 1 thousandth of a second twice. Nice stuff

[@alx.972]

They should bring back those tyres manufacturers, so that there will be competition between these companies to deliver the best tyres for cars, instead of only one tyres manufacturer that is monopolizing this part of the car so has no interest in developing better, faster and consistent tyres

[@ubaidscreations7682]

Four sectors!!

[@EauRouge]

Brilliant lap mate!!

[@Tom97]

Thanks 😁

[@double.u1577]

Question, didn't they technically have about 2-3 more laps worth of fuel? They technically had to do an inlap after quali, an outlap before the race and a formation lap, right, although all slower than a race lap, still about 2-3 laps worth of fuel. How did it work? If I'm in the wrong please correct me. I think the 2007 situation between Alonso and Ham was avoidable, but both were stubborn. It's racing and at times things like these happen and I honestly think for that 2007 Hungary weekend both were to blame, but in the end I think we all won, since we got a great battle between Räikkönen, Alonso and Ham. Great vid! Cheers! :D

[@alejandro25zgz95port]

alonso had an extra lap that weekend on qualifing.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Damon Hill Loved this Track.

[@Kingshrek123]

Can you do sennas pole lap in Adelaide 1990. In which in the race he had a gearbox failure and retired. He was in the mclaren mp4/5

[@Keonisthecoolest]

could you do can i beat the pole lap but fernando alonso 2010 singapore pole lap? (pyyer has a 2010 singapore layout)

[@Kampfhamster1992]

I have a question: Before your best lap, have you also driven the car for several laps to burn away some fuel? In 2007, as I remember correctly, they burnt away some fuel in the beginning of the last qualifying session before setting their best laps, so I guess there weren't 20 laps of fuel left in Hamilton's car anymore.

[@devilzuser0050]

Yet still he pitted at 51/70 left... +race before laps, ect...

[@josipdolibasic4143]

you can see his fuel in the bottom right

being only 3 tenths off. I wouldve gone for it mate, thats surely in the lap!

Why not try beating Max's first ever pole lap?

[@BrunoBarretoofc]

Great result

[@yekonghighlights1559]

Why your track has audiences? I can' see audiences in my track

[@vamositalia4600]

My suggestion for next episodes is Spain 2012, let's see if you can beat the GOAT Maldonado🤣🤣, and you could also try to beat Lewis's time since that was the actual fastest time in qualy.

[@philippczeskleba3988]

in almost every setup there is "steer assist" with no description. does anyone know what it is? i feel no difference wit 0% or 100%

Idea: The most useless pole USA'05

[@juanjosepernia9554]

Mclaren had established that one driver was supposed to do an extra lap to start the race with less fuel. This time it was Alonso's turn Hamilton ignored the team orders and didn't let Alonso through. In the last Q3 attempt Alonso was given used hard tyres and while stopped in the pits he looked at the pit wall while talking on the radio. He managed to cross the line with just one second left for his pole attempt, thinking that he blocked Lewis on purpose is mental

[@luckymchl2074]

Oh, we all know he blocked him as payback for not letting him through earlier. But that's Alonso for ya, anyways, if Alonso had not done this, and say won the Drivers title in 2008 with McLaren, he most likely would/could have gone to Merc with Rosberg instead of Lewis. Which could have given him 8-10 Drivers titles. But that's Alonso for ya. He played dirty, and it affected his whole career. Some would call it Karma. But then again TBH, I don't believe Rosberg could have beaten Alonso in the same car. But to me Senna was the best, and bring back V10's. LOL. Or at least give us an option on to have V10 engine sounds when we watch it on TV. LOL.

[@MEGATBLAZER]

Exactly what I thought. He didn't even cross the line with just a second, it was even less iirc, if you're able to calculate the time so meticulously, your name's not Fernando Alonso. Your name is god. No one would risk it that much.

[@josevillarroel7630]

That was what one of the narrators of Spanish broadcast said many years later.

[@pedrohenriquecarneiro3386]

Nope(or yes?)

[@vamositalia4600]

And immediately after Hungary at Spa, Alonso on the first lap pushed Hamilton off at the start and they were side by side at Eau Rouge... that rivalry was great, plus in 2007 we had the spy story and Kimi won the championship by 1 point just because Hamilton at Brazil lost a lot of time with a gearbox problem, without that and without his mistake on the pitlane in China Lewis would have won the championship as a rookie😱. 2007 was my first year watching F1 on TV, I cannot believe that was 17 years ago😔.

[@josevillarroel7630]

The only controversial was Hamilton's awful disrespect. Alas we know who's got the talent and who got the "miracle" info from old Bernie.
