Don't worry Bottas, even though you didn't get a "Get in there" from the team, the rest of the world was thinking it. Nice drive. For a second I thought that Bottas P5 was a "Knock'em down" tactic for the start.
Ricciardo has matched norris in high speed tracks like this with not much braking. Need to see him match norris on tracks with high braking and technicality

It will be based on what happens in f2, if Zhou wins the title he'll be favourite to join alfa romeo the following season, he brings in a considerable amount of financial investment with him.

but if hamilton was out, and bottas was fight for pole position against Red bull drivers, of course Mercedes would be very very happy with the bottas pole position
bottas is allowed to win the sprint race as long as hamilton is 2nd because he'll get a new engine and start from the back in the feature race anyways :>
the FIA really needs to do something about the qualifying in Monza. There's way too many close calls lately, someday the calls won't be close, somebody's gonna die.
Get in there, Valtteri! It's my secret wish that since he knows he's gone at the end of the year, he won't roll over and let Lewis get his own way in every race
People say this repeatedly as if bottas is always in front of lewis and always lets him go past with no defending. Bottas is usually just straight up slower in qualifying and the race which puts him behind and usually in no mans land so he does alternate strategies to help the team
So happy to see Ricciardo matching Norris' times during quali! Two great drivers for sure but they seem to rub each other the wrong way. Can't wait to see how the rest of their 2021 unfolds. Also unpopular opinion but hoping to see a Gasly repeat!!!!!

@@elcactusdelamuerte506 seems like an internal fight finally ensuing what Bottas had to stay quiet for.
@@elcactusdelamuerte506 well at least he will have completely new engine
I really want to see RIC making his way back again
I'm just laughing at how bottas got pole at literally the next race after Mercedes telling him that he won't be driving for them in 2022.
It wasn't Mercedes' decision, It was Bottas's decision to leave the team
@@mxghtyalex. source?
Lewis got out qualified by a Williams of George in Belgium but we wont talk about that
@@joshswindells5663 everyone spoke about that at the time as if Lewis was the only one outqualified
@@volcolmshoot bottas told that in an interview, he said if he had got a multi year contract he would have stayed with them, but he got a one year extension
Aftermath of Bottas qualifying on pole always feels like a funeral procession in Mercedes garage!!
lol too true, there's no excitement in comparison to when loo loo gets it
@@Sem5626 James even sounded a little surprised on the radio lol
@@Someone25948 suprised is fine but suprised and little disapointed is just sad.
@@ossi8963 Yeah, there wasn't any excitement in his voice. I guess that's the life of a second driver
Mercedes pushes the Hamilton agenda
Bottas: *gets pole
Mercedes: Let's pretend we didn't see that
*changes engine
Gasly impresse us every week. What a consistent display!!! He deserves that RedBull seat with Alpha Tauri car!
A pole position for Valterri is pretty much a pole position for Lewis
@@comparecars_org Look at Perez for giving Max 6 times a tow…….
@@commudus6256 Well at least he was faster than his team mate lol
Pretty much how it should be. Botas is not in the championship hunt, Sir Lewis is.
Well things are changed after BOTTAS signed a multi year deal with alfa romeo 😎 He just doesn't care now
@@Jamic9 exactly
That was an outstanding lap from Bottas,considering that he had no tow and he himself was actually towing Lewis.
Bottas saying to himself quietly: I'll show these guys what I've really got now the writing is on the wall.
Maybe if he eats enough porridge he might go in a winning streak and become world champion xD
@@Helge3F I will need to get some corn flakes for when you wake up.
Bottas takes off his shackles when he realized he’s being replaced
He made the decision to leave fyi
He has nothing to lose now
@@dpcater uh?
Dobby is free when master gives a new engine!
@@Rainaman- 😄😄😄
The difference between Bottas and Hamilton getting pole position it's so big, Valtteri deserved more in these years
this is normal... Hamilton can bring a world champion title. Bottas cant bring nothing. If Perez win p1 and verstappen p2, nobody will be happy in Red bull
but if hamilton was out, and bottas was fight for pole position against Red bull drivers, of course Mercedes would be very very happy with the bottas pole position
in baku perez win and every body was sooooo happy in Red bull... because max was out
Bottas take pole.
James automatically: Bottas it's james, Could you give the pole to Lewis, please.
🤣🤣😂
Cringe
There is always times when Bottas gets the better of Lulu, shame the same cant be said about Perez.
Well i'm sure bottas will have bad start tomorrow 😂
@@Dhikaaa62 And then ploughing into the side of max into turn one. That be a bad start for him and max, great start for lulu.
Giovinazzi deserve a 3 years contract at Alfa , he has proven himself to be in that seat
1 year
He’s already been told he’s out… Junior driver will be promoted by FDA I guess…
@@ignacioquindoslanderas531 nah it's probably gonna be Zhou or de vries
but quali is not the race ;/
He's been there for 3 years and hasn't done anything special
Send it valtteri🤘 also finally daniel found his pace, he really needed time to find his way with the car and props to gio too 👏👏👏
Great performance by the McLarens today! And from Bottas I‘m so happy for him he deserves it!
super happy for Valtteri! giving it all for the team even though he's shifting to Alfa
He's giving it all in spite of the team thats been holding him back you mean?
The team didn't want him first lol
What a performance from Giovinazzi since 2 GPs that's insane ! And from Gasly as well, his soo consistent
It's crazy how much Giovanazzi improved over the season.
That’s what happens when your seat is on the line I guess.
Eh nah
Those Mercedes were flying
Barely downforce is benefiting them
can’t help but fall in love with this sport more and more while watching this
Q3 - 2 Merc, 2 Redbulls, 2 Mclaren, 2 Ferrari and 2 drivers with teamates eliminated at Q1
But most importantly all italian team have at least 1 car in Q3
Bottas is finally going all in, he doesn't have anything to lose anymore
lets hope but I still think that he will obey all of the team orders even for a 1 single point
bottas is allowed to win the sprint race as long as hamilton is 2nd because he'll get a new engine and start from the back in the feature race anyways :>
@Abhishek Sanyasi yes but the penalty will be served for the feature race, not for the sprint race. thats my point
@@Emaxmagnus nope bcs then hamilton would have 2 points from sprint and bottas 3
I’m relatively new to F1 and today was the first time I watched Qualifying, man, that was just as much fun as a race. I’ve been missing out!
5:51 never heard a Finnish person convey so much emotion
When Lewis gets pole: GET IN THERE LEWIS, GREAT JOB!!
When Bottas gets pole: bravo
Different engineers my dude.
Different engineers.
I mean he has a grid penalty unfortunately
Even if it was from Toto, Bottas is leaving.
@@kilik5713 why?
Radio Crew : "Get in there Valterri!"
James : "Cough.."
Radio Crew : "Get in there Lewis, u got p2"
Bottas : “James , its Valterri , I’m about to pull a multi 21 on Ham this Sunday , over & out ”
He will lose 3 Positions on the Start anyway.
Gotta better practice his water drinking skills
the FIA really needs to do something about the qualifying in Monza. There's way too many close calls lately, someday the calls won't be close, somebody's gonna die.
Well there is something called a sprint "qualifying"
They could split the field but then you have different conditions for each group
nowadays is very unlikely a driver could die...maybe severe injuries but dying ufff like almost 0 possibilities
@@swarajmakkar2859 But before that sprint "qualifying", there's gonna be a "qualifying."
@@gastonhitw720 never say never
Honestly, at this point I just want to see Lando win a race.
Maxs gets some payback for Hungary and takes out both mercs and himself down into turn one, paving the way for Lando to win.
@@Glenn7719 Mclaren 1-2
I'd honestly love to see Bottas win but sadly he starts from p20.
@@AB-yf5ei that's the actual race i think they are talking about the Sprint race
@@Glenn7719 almost a bang on prediction :)
Get in there, Valtteri!
It's my secret wish that since he knows he's gone at the end of the year, he won't roll over and let Lewis get his own way in every race
People say this repeatedly as if bottas is always in front of lewis and always lets him go past with no defending. Bottas is usually just straight up slower in qualifying and the race which puts him behind and usually in no mans land so he does alternate strategies to help the team
Even without team orders Lewis is so much faster on race day that he'll probably still finish in front
Burning bridges with a power house on the sport is not your ideal situation.
We can only hope.
Lewis and valteri get along quite well. I'm sure valteri would be willing to help Lewis seeing as Lewis has always defended him
Gio wants to keep his seat I have faith in Italian Jesus let’s see what he can do in the race 🐝🇮🇹
Glad to see Danny ric finding pace
So happy to see Ricciardo matching Norris' times during quali! Two great drivers for sure but they seem to rub each other the wrong way. Can't wait to see how the rest of their 2021 unfolds. Also unpopular opinion but hoping to see a Gasly repeat!!!!!
Unpopular? I don’t think anyone would say they would be against another gasly win
So happy for Valtteri! I really get mad at how people underestimate him while he is doing an excellent job for Mercedes in the title fight.
I get where you are coming from but this season he has been slacking
Far in the rankings isn't what I call helping the team for the championship...
@@astrovisionbroadcastingunion I mean, third in the standings isn't exactly hurting either...
@@J5L5M6 Exactly, better job than Perez is doing in Red-Bull (at the moment) and he's been more time in Formula 1, and have driven for more teams than him...
Tomorrow:
"Bottas you're faster than Hamilton, please confirm the message"
*turns of car*
I absolutely love the helmet cam, I’d love to see it in races too
Giovinazzi is here to stay
