I love that
That’s a cool way of saying “my mind was on autopilot”
Lies again? Met Gala Come Singapore
@@NazriB excuse me?
Flow state
And that’s it, you’ve just watched one of the best qualifying laps in history
Yeah this one is insane, 100% on the limit. I'm not a Hamilton fan but this is pure fire 🔥
He came what, 0.3 seconds ahead of Verstappen in a car that was far quicker. In my opinion it wasn't even the best qualifying lap of this qualifying session.
I honestly came to this video expecting him to have finished about 2 seconds ahead of the pack. Considering he was driving the greatest car of all time, and it was supposedly the greatest lap of all time. But nah, 0.3 seconds ahead of a 20 year old who was driving a tractor....
@@footballnerd277 go watch the whole quali session merc was not the best car on the day
@@footballnerd277 the red bulls and Ferrari were quicker the whole weekend, Lewis was almost knocked out of q1 and was far off in q2 he got that q3 lap from no where
With HARD🥶
Love him or hate him, this was actually a stunning lap. Literally perfection. Drivers always say that you can never get a perfect lap but you get close to it. And this really was that lap. I'm still stunned as to how he got it. If this was the RB then I wouldnt be this hyped over it cause the mercs are never really strong in Singapore. This was a high downforce circuit suiting the RB. Even max was 3 tenths away from Lewis's pole lap and Max is one of the best drivers on the grid. Really stunning lap this one. Magical, stardust lap.

This was on 2018 and rb way slower than merc and ferri
@@21jackpot4 On this track, merc was 3rd favourite, this is Singapore.
Lewis just achieved 100 Career Pole Positions and this in my book is the Greatest Lap he ever did in Formula 1. What a perfection of a lap this is. Lewis Hamilton is by far The Greatest of this Era and One of The Greatest of All Time. Absolute legend of the sport..
There is another great lap Lewis did. Canada 2010
he is not one of the greatest of all time HE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME (for people that think I am Mercedes fan I am a Mclaren fan)
@@FresHunter_ I respect Lewis a lot, but there's no way you can say that. There are just too many variables.
@@madhavisingh9046 I understand what your saying but the same goes for when people say that Schumacher is the greatest of all time. So would you say that there isn’t ONE true goat ?
nah if he weren't in that Merci, he wouldn't win any title, but this is a known fact
I‘m a hardcore Ferrari fan...but the lap Hamilton just pulled off was magical
wow

Great original comment
Pole lap after the Quali highlights 👌🏼

Why is it so important? I actually didn't like to wait so much for the pole lap...
@@Turigemo if people can't watch the quali it's nice to watch the highlights without knowing who is on pole
it is very good
Ken Miles: If you’re going to push a piece of machinery to the limit, and expect it to hold together, you have to have some sense of where that limit is. Look out there. Out there is the perfect lap. No mistakes. Every gear change, every corner. Perfect. You see it?
Peter Miles: I think so.
Ken Miles: Most people can’t. Most people don’t even know it’s out there, but it is. It’s there.
Underrated comment
And that's the problem with 2022 Merc car. It's so unpredictable Ham can't push it, he can't know where the limit is. At least it's getting more stable now.

When people were throwing racial slurs at Lewis during his karting days, his father told him to do talking on track. Lewis never forgot that.
who the fuck throws racial slurs at karting events for kids you absolute waste of flesh and bones.
"lewis never forgot that" lol, what a tool.
@12345s12345 Did you ever maybe stop to think it could've been his competition who would throw slurs at him? Kids will be kids and the scorn of losing definitely wouldn't help their egos at the time.
Same as Jim Clarke.... do all the talking on the track
Yep
@@go-awayyy123 this is absolutely correct. Both Lewis and his family had to endure racial slurs during his karting years from both the competition and their families. And guess what? After 6 world drivers championships and beating so many records I.e. poles race wins racing points etc. Some people still utter comments of a racial tone
Even the haters began to accept that he is a legend.
He is only human
Not being a fan of Hamilton doesn't mean you're a hater. I personally think that as a person he still lacks of a lot of things, but as a driver have everything to become the best ever
@@zowisilver Have you met him in real life, just asked for a photo or an autograph ? I know he loves and appreciates his fans (not only British) all over the globe. If a person wants to believe that Lewis is not genuine or insincere then nothing can Lewis do to prove him wrong, no matter how good is he actually.
I believe in the good in people and I want to believe that on the contrary to popular belief, Lewis Hamilton is a very nice, hard working individual with every right to show pride and confidence irrespective of what others think of him. I think this particular attitude makes him so strong.
Can you imagine what the Haters do everytime Lewis succeeds, they probably kick the cat, punch some little feeble old pensioner in the street or go home in a rage and pull their foreskins off their knobs. Bunch of losers.

Frankly the W09 was flawed in general. It was reliable but always struggled on street tracks like Baku, Monaco and Singapore. The Ferrari SF71H was the better car on the majority of tracks, no doubt.

he was in the zone ! those walls were so close !
haters have never critizised hamilton bc of lack of skills, but for his attitude
and his attitude is no different than any other driver before him or right now
He is still a bit of primadonna, at least sometimes.
the polar bears hate him
To put this into perspective: Lewis' 2018 pole lap time is 9 seconds faster than what he managed in 2015. What a difference 3 years of development (and a softer tyre compound) makes
Riswan AP Hamilton didn’t take pole in 2015; Sebastian Vettel did
I think that was in 2014
It was Vettel’s pole in 2015; Hamilton’s in 2014.
Also, don’t forget to mention the 2017 aero rules with the wider tires and the slightly different layout in 2014.
Yeah boy
yup and also 12 seconds faster than his 2009 pole lap
Just revisiting this beautiful lap once again after Sir Lewis just took his 100th pole position.
Yup, me too. I have watched F1 since 1975, (or maybe a bit before) and this is the best single lap of any circuit, at any time, by any driver, in any class. Ever.
It’s tradition to come back to this every once in a while
It is sooo fast, it looks almost insane during those change of directions in sector 2 with the barriers so close!
What a lap though... stunning!
From a vettel fan.He deserved pole.Stunning lap.Got every corner perfect.Braked late carried speed through corners.Amazing performance.This shows why he is the driver with most poles
I think he kept his hypersofts alive for long enough to have a good sector 3
30-40 of them were due to how op that Merc car is
@@safwankhan199 True.... but his teammate was Nico Rosberg, who's also a very good driver. He did very well in the same team as Schumacher so it's no surprise he beat Hamilton in 2016. Then again it is indeed disgraceful how overpowered that Mercedes car was from 2014-2016. But since 2017 we have Ferrari challenging the Silver Cheaters and FIA tries everything to sabotage us and let Mercedes get away with EVERYTHING> corrupt F1!!!!

This is one of the best laps ever driven, and for me the best lap ever driven by Lewis. Magic, no idea how he did it, considering Merc were struggling so much all throughout qualifying. And that he beat the perfect lap simulated by Mercedes makes it even better. One for the history books for sure.

This was the day from which I change my vision about F1. I was (and I am) a Ferrari's fan, but this lap let me aknowledge Hamilton as the greatest F1 driver ever. And I grew up with the myth of Schumacher. From that day, I started to watch F1 not only for Ferrari, but for the magnificent motorsport it is, where the drivers push to the limit a fantastic masterpiece of engineering
Seguo la F1 da qualche annetto, non sono di certo il più esperto... però secondo il mio parere la Mercedes fa uscire ogni anno un capolavoro di auto in termini di ingegneria grazie alle menti geniali che hanno in fabbrica, ma quest'uomo, Lewis Hamilton è qualcosa di spaventoso alla guida, veloce intelligente pochissimi errori.... è tra i più grandi di sempre a mani basse. Ps: spero che Verstappen glielo facci sudare un po di più questo mondiale!

His lap on Melbourne was magical as well. Lewis is a monster.
Gustavo Paniza Mercedes were a faster car in Australia so it was nothing special
This was very much special for sure but Max is the one which was impressive
@@henrywhatzal4724 Both were impressive. Please don't take away the credits which Lewis deserved today. I was dead sure it was Seb to be on pole today.
But they both had similarities in the way Mercedes drove their cars very slowly on the out-lap to prepare the tyres, Vettel himself said so after the 1st runs. Australia was also much about the out-lap.
Not to take anything away from Lewis. He was on another, Senna-Monaco'88 level today in that Q3 lap.
Lewis Hamilton is truly something special. We haven't seen a driver like him since Schumacher
Because Hamilton wasn't that fast back then
Simbayoyo 12: no hamilton was at the same level of Fernando in his rookie year with the same car. Vettel is also clearly worse than Hamilton in general and including his mistakes, will likely cost him the championship this year. Even with an inferior car on the worst track for them Lewis somehow pulls ahead.

Nicola Gonizzi In english, that's what is called a "back-handed compliment". *TODAY* he demonstrated he is one of the best F1 drivers ever? Not the fact that he already has the record for pole positions in the sport. Not the record he has for most wins at different circuits. Not the record he has for most grand slams in a season. Not the record he has for most career points... but just this one lap, in your eyes, made you decide that NOW he's worthy of being one of the best. Todaay he got your approval.
@@Agnelum1 maybe because mercedes is not best suited for this circuit.
I think this is why so many people doesn't like Lewis, sometimes he is just too perfect, as well as his career.
100 POLES and I had to revisit the greatest lap in F1 history.
Senna in monaco was the best it was never shown on tv. But he was over a second quicker than second (alain prost) but this is for sure second
@@jayking7544 Suzuka 1989 was better in that case because in Monaco he was 1.4s faster than prost but in Suzuka the following year he went 1.7s faster
I think Senna and Lewis laps are pretty similar if you ask me
I just watched it at least 10 times in a row
Could this lap be topped in that car? I’ve watched it 15-odd times now and I cannot see where he lost any time, or where he could have gained. Just incredible.
The only other lap I’ve seen like this is Senna in ‘88.
He’s so close to hitting the barriers its insane, taking sooo much speed in some of the corners. The man was possessed by something beyond in this lap
I've also watched this lap countless times, and here I am watching it again, and it still makes my jaw drop. The only imperfection I can see if exit turn 11 (around 50 second mark). Tiny, tiny bit of oversteer, which is corrected in the blink of an eye, probably cost him about 10 milliseconds, maybe less. Definitely wouldn't call it an error. No one will drive a lap as well as this again. When such a minuscule blip is the biggest time loss in a lap, it's hard not to call it perfect.
@@alfiemifsud2770 well spotted, it took me a few goes to see it.
It beat the time of the perfect lap in simulation.
Someone: Nobody's Perfect

@@umut_hmut The tyres were the same C5 is the hypersoft
@@nicuiordachianu5394No since 2019 the tyres are a step harder so the c5 is around the same pace as the ultrasoft from 2018
@@umut_hmut No, they said that the tyre that they removed was actually the Ultrasoft, because the difference wasn't big enough to the SS and HS. It was made quite clear during pre-season testing in 2019, I think they repeated it 100 times. The tyre thread was different, but that hasn't stopped them going quicker around most tracks.
@@umut_hmut I would say that it wasn't the tyres bu the fact that in 2019 a couple of aero regs came in so downforce did decrease
For those wondering, these ain't the hard compound tires, these were the notorious hypersoft tires only present in 2018 which degraded within 10 laps
nevermind im dyslexic
“hypersoft”, or “c5” tyres still exist they are just called “soft” when they are used at their specific tracks now
If Lewis will win this championship none of us(Ferrari fans) can't say that he didn't deserve it and by the way where is the telemetry for this unbelievable lap? c'mon Liberty Media we are at 15th Gran Prix!!!

Simon T Agree. Very true.
Best pole lap i’ve ever seen
Who's here after Max's Qualifying attempt in Jeddah . 🙋🏻♂️ Was a perfect lap like this just the final corner........
he lost time in turn 2 as well tho
Hamilton, such a master at his art.
Which includes (just) staying out of trouble and looking after his engines. In the following 2019 season only two drivers managed with the allotted five engines: Grosjean - who crashed out of a lot of race laps - and Hamilton. Check out the interview with Mercedes Engines boss Andy Cowell where he says Hamilton often turns his engine down to Safe mode when the Team think he should be in Race mode - and he still wins.
Everytime I watch this I get chills. I remember watching this live and being absolutely gobsmacked. Every single apex he hit was absolutely perfect. Not a single fault on this lap and never seen anything like it. An absolute masterclass in qualifying.
There was one small error - he beached his car on the kerb at Turn 7. Still though, he was able to carry so much speed through that corner that he could just ride it out lol
@@ryanjonathanmartin3933 riding that curb was the fastest way through the corner. it was intentional.
This is the single best piece of footage I have ever seen.
Me changing my brake bias on the straight: crashes into the wall
Lewis: changes brake bias mid corner
Makes perfect sense. Weight distribution shifts from front to rear. Thus a shift in bias would help.
Back in the day Lewis barely touched brake bias. Especially compared to guys like Schumacher. A lot has changed
Hi to all. Of all the f1 laps that I have watched in my time and I have been watching on and off for the last decade or so, his destroying the timing sectors by -1.034 was completely mind-blowing. never before have I witnessed someone destroy his competitors so viciously and not to mention that this track is the an absolute nightmare to memorise. This lap was the one that cemented lewis as a great athlete. Bye4now....
Senna destroyed competition like that.
It was a great lap, but the timer was compared to Ocons lap. Verstappen was only 3 tenth down.
This lap-time was by far the best one of the season yet; everything about it is just pure precision with a not a single mistake or a lock up in sight. Hamilton has proved his skill time and time again with his pole laps but this one should speak to the haters in more ways than one.
At a quali where the Mercs were absolutely no where in contention with Red Bull and Ferrari, suddenly he comes out of nowhere and flips them off royally with his skill alone 💣💣♥️♥️🔥🔥
Never missed an apex or left more than 20 cm to the barrier on exit.
Pov: ur here cuz of Max's binned lap In qualifying 2 days ago
Plot Twist : You came here after watching Verstappen 2021's Qualifying Lap on Saudi Arabia.
Yeah lol
Fernando was right. Lewis is just on a different level than Vettel.
Vettel looked super defeated after that qualifying run. He can't blame Ferrari or get mad at Kimi on this one. This was all on him.
It must be rather disheartening, after convincing himself that it has been his own mistakes that has placed Hamilton ahead of him in the Championship, to then realise that even if he removes those kinds of errors he is still looking up Hamilton's exhaust pipe. Where does he get the extra necessary to surmount LH? It rather sounds as though he's blaming the team for his inability to match the standard the Hammer has set.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 Yea man. Vettel is to hot headed and gets impatient. Gets mad at Ferrari in Italy. So what does he do? Impatiently attacks Hamilton but completely backfires knowing he has a faster car.
Hockenheim- Demands to get Kimi put of the way. Then the rain starts and his tyres are a bit worn but yet makes a rookie mistake missing his braking point in the stadium section. Like i said earlier to a friend, If Hamilton had a car good enough to compete with Vettel during his championship run in 2010-2013, Vettel would not be a 4x champ. Lewis understands and dissects every situation and somehow makes the most out of a bad weekend. It's incredible. That's what separates him from Vettel.
"we talk after"
@@thecaptain5026 Lol so immature of him.. Haha
When did fernando say this? I want to see
Whenever someone says Lewis isn’t the best driver show them this. Closest you will ever get to a perfect lap in a modern era.
This was something else! I'm a Ricciardo fan but this was awe inspiring. Hamilton truly deserves his place in F1 history, anyone who says otherwise is foolish. These are the kinds of motorsport moments that inspire kids to race Go-karts regardless of their circumstance. Truly blessed to have witnessed it. Hang posters on your walls and believe in yourself. If you have the passion and determination go for it!
This look intense but imagine doing it for 2 hours
I'm really fan of Vettel and Ferrari (i'm italian) but i know that Hamilton is one of the greatest driver of all time like Schumi, Ayrton, Lauda and Prost. Vettel is another great driver but he can't manage the pressure. (sorry for my bad english)
Don't apologise, you speak the truth.
...and his English grammar is way better than many of these clods online nowadays...
I think that your English is perfectly cromulent - certainly no worse than a great many for whom English is their native tongue. However, what one says is more important that how one says it - content beats style.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 The content of what he has written is spot on too.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 thank you
Hamilton is a Legend alive
Toto Wolff: "It's stardust… I can’t explain what happened on that (Hamilton) lap. He’s just an exceptional individual and an exceptional driver."
And today he nearly made a miracle with that “s***box”
Just 8x WDC doing 8x WDC things.
I watch this every year regularly.
The BEST lap in F1 History
Senna, Monaco, 1988.

@@Thomas-et9ts you never see this lap, doesn’t exist a onboard hahah
0:58 man.... this looks impossible to me... I mean, this man drives so so close to the wall and the car slides a little bit from the rear the perfect distance to put the car in a position that allows to have the better traction possible... NO WORDS!
This lap was far from perfect. It was a tenth-and-a-half better than perfect. The computer calculated the perfect lap. That was about a 1:36.16 or something around that. He did a 1:36.015! That is just crazy. This lap was more than perfect. It was legendary.
Back again to witness this lap of the gods! 🐐
Pov: you just watched the hamiltons 10 best pole video
I just come back here weekly to see this lap, it’s just something special and a thing of beauty, this lap
Mega lap.. 2022 still enjoying this
This has been Hamilton’s strongest ever year in F1 in my opinion. Hasn’t put a foot wrong all year and made a 4 time world champion look average. He’s in his prime.
7 Time champion 😉

Man and machine as one, and he is thoroughly decent man and deserves respect
And the race track! The unholy Trinity. Driver car and Track become one. This was it. You cannot tell 1 of the three from the other.
Who else came here after Jeddah Qualifying
yes
Thats how you do it a perfect lap, Lewis are on another level of driving
singapore has run off areas, saudi's are a joke compared to singapore. And Merc engineers are on another level too.
@@0megalul309 Can't blame Saudi for the fact Max went into the wall though? No other driver crashed into that wall during quali, only Max.
Coming from 3rd on the grid to beat 2 world champions in what is supposed to be a faster Ferrari, at their home race in Monza.......then to go and put an amazing pole lap in at Singapore and win again........it cements LH as one of the greatest, if not the greatest.
Nothing new here. Lewis doing what he has done for years. "Setting the standard". And provoking jealous haters!
Well done Lewis!!
Best lap ever, especially when you put it into context of the qualifying session
Till this day this is the perfect lap. Seeing the new layout of the circuit now, hearing its around 10s quicker makes this lap even better, he struggled the whole qualifying and then pulled this out of the bag to make it one of the best, if not the best ever, qualifying lap in all of F1 history.
Hate him or love him but everyone has to agree that this is perfection.
I don't even think it's his best ever lap
Haven't came out from the Monza hangover and now this mega lap time . Just fantastic. Christmas time for Lewis Hamilton fans..
Hamilton > Vettel.
So much better, answered every question any fan has ever asked. Legend
Kurt Pullen yeah vettel isn’t very good
I'm hamilton fan please stop compare lewis with others driver
He is like Alonso, extracting every bit of performance from the car and pulling of miracles.
@@memekbau4360 completely agree with you as a vettel fan as I believe they are both brilliant drivers!
And what do you benefit from this? Does it make you happy? Proud?
I've watched Lewis since he was a kid racing carts, and then signing with McLaren before he could reach the pedals of an F1 car. Back then we could all see the pure speed and God given talent this kid possessed. And now we have this lap in Singapore. A true Lap of the Gods!
There's only 1 real God my brother
@@truth4reel Yo don't preech to me. I said his talent came from God, not that he is a God, my brother.
POV: you're watching this after max's Saudi lap
I hate to admit it but Lewis Hamilton could very well be the greatest Formula 1 driver ever
Thank you.
If he wins this year in a weaker car than I will agree, as people are saying that their car is second fastest to ferrari not 1st
@Subi_fan yes he is stay salty
Hahaha funny
Shadow Fan Then who is Alonso? He almost beat Seb in 2012 in a shit car. People now keep saying the Merc is weak and bla bla bla but it is equal on performance to the Scuderia.
This is why he has the most pole positions of any driver. As a Ferrari fan, RESPECT GROWING
This is as close to perfect a pole lap as I've ever seen. Even great pole laps have tiny moments of over/understeer, miniscule things. But this was as precise and clean as it was balls out fast.
Max was about to do this today, what a lap that would've been
the last turn aswell. he was so close to an iconic lap
Boy choked! How do you mess up the LAST turn. Inexperience and excitement that's how.
