Valtteri Bottas' Onboard Pole Lap | 2019 United States Grand Prix | Pirelli

[@LauftFafa]

they dont need slowing really like the suzuka ones , even silverstone dont . only f1 game peoples do that . (joking but can be true for some :p)

[@richardwarner1276]

I was sitting at the bridge by the Esses today during qualifying. I was blown away at how fast they shot through there. They barely slow down from the straight before

[@AlexRaxach]

that moment when all the senses in your body are telling you to slow down, but you keep stepping hard on the throttle and the car holds up. Although to be fair, all those f1 guys are probably passed that.

[@50gary]

It must be fast, VB was in 7th gear through that section and then went to 6th after the esses.

What adavantage is your fanboy brain hallucinating about? All top teams were pretty close in Sector 1. BS1 of Vettel, Verstappen and Hamilton is 24.6, Leclerc 24.5 and Bottas 24.7. Leclerc probably overheated the tires with his faster pace.

[@axelhogdal]

omeee and your point is...?

[@contendedracer5861]

this is why i love this track, the race may be different enjoyment wise to quali but the fact this track has high speed and low speed corners with long to medium straights means that it doesn’t suit one car it suits multiple

[@g1344304]

He's right though, this is the only session where Lewis finished behind Valterri, he screwed up both his laps in Q3 and admitted it was his worst qualifying in a long time. Lewis was quite a bit ahead in FP1, FP2, FP3, Q1 and Q2. Great lap from Valterri but don't pretend Lewis isn't much faster here.

[@dusanjovanovic1841]

Unpopular opinion: Valtteri has the drive to beat Lewis in the championship battle, but lacks in consistency. He performs so good at the times, even outperforms Lewis, but screws up often as well. Also Merc's love relationship with Lewis doesn't help either.

A tennis player will celebrate like 20 times throughout a game when things get tough, and not celebrate at all if the match wasn't even close. It's only cringy if there was a huge performance gap. And btw, emotion is what we need in F1. we want drivers to duke it out. we want them to not settle. If you want it to be a polite, "after you sir" you should get out of here.

[@frisk151]

You don't have to be a lover or hater of the driver on this record... This was ART... When fractions of a second counts.. The view as exceptional as well.. You can see what most would consider 'sliding'... aka.. Managing the grip.. Those are simplified words, but these are by far the greatest road racing drivers you'll ever find..

lolbot so Gasly, who couldn’t even beat Verstappen, can beat Hamilton ever so often, and match him on most tracks? And Perez, who got fucked by Ocon, would be able to suddenly outqualify the greatest ever qualifier, Hamilton? Bottas is in a different league compared to Gasly and Perez...

If he deserved it, then he should have got it in the same car as Lewis. Merc used team orders against him only once this year in Singapore. And they payed him back in Japan by giving shit strategy to Lewis. He's not consistent enough
