Doesn’t really talk about the crash despite the click bait title…saving you time

[@Martz7]

Thanks mate

[@paulwais9219]

If you saw James Vowles pop up randomly in other segments in the past year, you'll know he actually has nothing to say.

[@GridPenalties]

It’s ok, just watch the video for confirmation that Lewis is more talented than Michael 1997 Cheatmacher.

Thanks

Senior F1 team figures like Vowles and Stella are always worth listening to.

[@Goaltimer]

I don’t understand Stella tho.

that Mercedes f1 team from the 2013 to 2018 ish era was like galactico era, Andy cowell, head of engine at HPP, known for 20+ years of making solid engines. Eric blandin, coming from redbull during their dominant era, james allison, creating over 5 title winning cars, James Vowles, Loic Serra elite level suspension engineer, you could put Adrian Newey in that team and i don't think it would be much better if any it was that good

[@HighPerformanceClips]

Who do you think was at fault for the crash? 💥

[@bs4754]

Nico

[@dedollemwoan7465]

Both where not inocent, not at fault, the crash could not happen without mistakes from both drivers

[@wigf173]

Nico was primarily at fault. He could never battle cleanly. Pushing Lewis and Fernando off at Bahrain was a prime example.
Perhaps he knew he wasn't a great or naturally gifted and that's why he tried whatever he could to prevent people passing him

[@peterdekker2758]

Lewis

[@southerncomfort1339]

Nico!!!

"if you win a championship in a way that's not fair and sportsmanlike, you will have regrets" do you see max verstappen having regrets now?

[@lejamesbron4055]

Different perspectives

[@DeqoFaisal]

​@lejamesbron4055 max case is worse since the fia itself broke they rule for him to win, which will always overshadow his titles and achievement 😏

[@lukavujeva6584]

Lovely how British media is always so arrogant and so blatantly stupid. “When Lewis and Nico crashed into each other”.
It’s Lewis who crashed into Nico. When you are behind, and you rear end someone, you didn’t crashed into each other. But

[@tomabraham6924]

How do you come to that conclusion when you actually watch lap 1? Lewis went for the move well before the corner and Nico pushed him onto the grass, as soon as lewis' tyre makes contact with grass he spins, hitting Nico in the process- Niki Lauda also said Nico has to hold the majority of the blame for the incident so how are you coming to the conclusion that it was Lewis' fault?

Volwes saying Micheal wasn’t the most skilled driver in the car and that Lewis was…. I respect the man but here he is pissing out of the toilets bowl 🚽 😅 this is when I stopped watching

[@AlwaysEwok]

Ahh yes because the more informed person with the personal experience with these drivers says something you don’t like it must be bullshit😂

[@tazz347]

​@@AlwaysEwokagreed, these fools think they know it all

[@Jrh-rp7np]

He’s drawing from his time with Michael at Mercedes,,When Michael was gone from the sport for 4 years and was in his forties..not to mention those Mercedes cars were certainly not the Hybrid era Merc… You cant take off a sport that evolves as much F1 does in four years without losing something.. go watch Schumacher in the Benetton years or the early 2000s and tell me who you think is better,, and btw it is extremely difficult to compare eras but still…

[@1greenMitsi]

exactly, 1, vowles is british 2 he worked with 2 drivers at 2 vastly different stages of their career. Im definately no schumacher fan but to say michaels biggest strength as a driver was to be buddies with the team and send his wife flowers is a bit of a bs take. Anyone who remembers schumi in his dominating years and the famous telemetry comparison between himself and Herbert at benneton where the data showed michael could carry more speed because of his innate ability to rotate the car mid corner
Age and the evolution of F1 cars to be bigger heavier and more efficient aero hampered these qualities which Vowles never saw
