Bottas’ communications skills is on another level. It’s not just his command of language nor his fluency. I mean, he knows how to relate the actual sensation to his listeners. Should this man be giving lectures or telling stories or coaching, I’m all ears.
Yes most people just day o it's great or hard or some simple words but describing things so other people can understand takes work
Exactly!
Formula 1 Driving Masterclass™
Almost at the same level as Kimi
I agree, I like Lewis but his interviews tend to be more of a performance. Valteri explains in a clear simple manner and a very nice pace
That drift from Bottas though, work of art
Oh my god yes - How awesome was that - I was thinking the same -
Hahaha you should watch gilles villeneuve drift 1982 long beach gp that was a real drift

@@MercedesAMGF1 you forgot to heart this comment
Doing all of this in the F1 game means you'll be in a wall quickly
Na it’s just muscle memory it’s easy to use the MFD without looking on a wheel
I usually simulate Monaco as it's not fun and a headache.
I took Monaco off the calender in my game. On a controller it feels near impossible to get around the hairpin without a thousand flashbacks.

Monaco is soo challenging I love it

Yep

[shows Valtteri locking a brake and donutting out of a run-off area]
"Monaco is a very punishing track, there are no run-off areas."
That is basically the only one 😂
Lmao
@@ryanokeefe12 There's always that guy who can't take a joke and needs to explain how it really works. Dude relax its just some jokes, most of us know what a real run-off area looks like.

I just love how Mercedes-AMG Petronas spends so much time teaching the fan base how to fully appreciate the sport. This team is AWESOME!💯
Awesome comment
Legendary team
they are soulless and lack personality. this is just them pretending
Nearly as awesome as Red Bull
This is an answer to a question I never thought I'd get. Thx Merc!
You are very welcome! 😊
Nice to see bottas and his engineer have a spotlight . Great explanation of the track and the work effort that goes in to get through the weekend
Appreciate the kind comment 🙏

Hey Mercedes-AMG could I possibly get a steering wheel replica

@@MercedesAMGF1 Can u pls explain to me what is differential and what do rotary dials do plssssssssssssss reply plsssss
@@yogeshvartak199 Differential affects the speed of the rotation of rear wheels. If you unlock the differential you'll allow the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds and if you lock it you force the rears to rotate at the same speed, each is beneficial for different corners on a circuit to maximise speed on exit . I can't explain exactly what the rotary dials do though
@@milanzukuma7243 Ya thank u but I wanted a reply from merc so asked this question😅Anyways,thank u
I mean, how can you not like this guy? Totally deserves all the honors
Damn, that donut was soo cool from VB 🖤
Poor Bottas wish his race didn’t end like that.
I agree. He is one very unlucky driver!
@@remkojerphanion4686 At Monaco every driver us unlucky lol
Well he got a personal video of him and his experience on the race out of it, so not a lose lose after all
I don't even watch F1 races, I'm just fascinated by the sport, ever since watching that Netflix series. There are so many interesting things about it: It's peak performance, entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, adrenaline rushes, high-stakes work, ruthless competition, and death-defying danger, all wrapped up into one. No other sport or hobby like it!
Right? I’ve been binging the Netflix series and haven’t watched an actual race but the cars and engineering on the cars itself fascinate me. It’s like racing fighter jets on the ground within inches of each other
A sport that few can participate. It's Big but the public can not be engaged with the sport fully.
The Netflix show is a reality TV show, the audio is heavily edited to make it entertaining. I highly recommend people watch the actual races and qualifying, even the practice sessions can be exciting to watch. I love that DTS has got so many people into the sport but I also hope people understand this is a professional sport, not a reality TV show.
the netflix show does not represent f1 well at all.
Their mental condition is no less than a fighter pilot
Respect for all racers
To all the people who say "it's just driving a car" or "it's just driving around in circles"... this video proves them all wrong!
@@MercedesAMGF1 absolutely I agree
F1 is nearly equal to a Fighter Jet cockpit
@@TheDiecastPhotographer Far from, flying fighters is more about information handling in ever changing scenarios where you have to maintain situational awareness whilst flying and managing the plane without getting overloaded, not so much about settings. /Pilot
@@Doggepe I agree buddy 🙃
@@Doggepe 1 small mistake can cost life
Bottas is the opposite of Kimi. One wants to express every feeling, emotion and experience and the other just wants his drincc.
dont forget gloves and steering wheel!
bwoah
@@EfficientTrout Someone, give this man an icecream
Kimi was a centennial talent. In his peak, Schumi didn’t want him to Ferrari, 2005 and 2006, and then Alonso, the Spanish bus driver, 2009. When he came back and was 3rd with Lotus (!!) in the Championship, that is something which tells everything. Just leave me alone…
Very cool video, would love to see this also on other "easier" tracks to have a comparison as to how much Workload that actually is.
As always incredible content, keep it up guys!
Good idea!
Could imagine Austria or Monza being not that influenced by the workload. Though challenging in different areas (heavy curbs in Austria and very high speed in Monza). Also i dont know how many hange you do at spa. As the first and the third sector are long straight where you can somewhat rest.
Fastest I've ever been. Will make pole one day!!!
That's pole

Congrats
@@umbrakaito Lol 🤣 read that in Ferrari engineer's voice
"You can't possibly consider 3 seconds a relaxing holiday"
F1 drivers during Monaco GP pitstops: "Debatable"
Always nice to hear from Valtteri! One of the best guys on the grid.
Man, I love this vid every thing is clear and well explained, awesome job get in there Mercedes!.
Wow, what a lovely comment, thanks! 🙏
Bottas - What the U turn you took.. wowo- That was Awesome..
Can we all just appreciate what happened at 1:50? This maneuver is not easy, and was executed beautifully. These guys are as elite as they come.
You felt like you had to tell viewers what they should like/pay attention to? lol
1:49 was actually pretty cool. Sometimes they come to a complete stop before doing that
VB is a donut king, to be honest
@@MercedesAMGF1 we saw this in Turkey
@@jackk2591 😳
@@jackk2591 buuuuurrrrnnnnn😂😂😂
VB has done it before ua-cam.com/video/R8ZzcdPRviE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MSchumacherMSchumacher
1:46 That was so beautiful
I was studying and as soon as I saw the notification, I asked my Thermodynamics notebook to wait 😂
Superb video from Mercedes as always ❤️
😂
Thank you Riki, Valterri, great video! Honestly wish you did this at every track, its really nice getting a better perspective and understanding of what the drivers have to do. Im actually stunned how Valterri can say Monaco is the most mentally demanding and yet hes still ultra competitive, making it seem almost effortless. My first Monaco GP, lets go!
Thank you Valtteri for taking the time to share your thoughts on what important things you consider during a lap. And thank you Mercedes for putting together this video.
That 360 from Valterri...! God! That was so good! He is a Finn afterall! 😂🔥
Very tricky to do, especially on a street track in a narrow run-off area!
Um, that was a 180 . . .
@@MercedesAMGF1 you snoze, you lose
Nice and early at just 13 seconds. Keep up the great content. Though I'm a L44 fan, it's still nice to see Bottas having his moments in the limelight.
Thanks for being early and for the kind words on the piece! 😊
What do you mean "it's still nice"? It's always nice to listen to Valteri.
can we just appreciate the channel for replying to almost all the comments. damn kudos to you all!!!
keep slaying the podiums. the Team deserves it
The irony
The depth of talent in the Silver Arrows team continues to impress. Great explanations from Valtteri.
We've seen track guides n hot real and sim laps from many drivers but it would be interesting to see a lap in slo-mo talking through every action the driver makes re steering wheel control adjustments (brake balance, diff etc) in addition to shifting, accelerating, braking, driving line. Not necessarily Monaco but one of the tracks that requires more input than most...
I can barely keep up with the buttons on my PS controller...wow!
Going 200mph through a tunnel where it’s dark half of the way? Much respect to you gents!!
Don't forget heavy braking
I'm French, so it's difficult for me to understand every Formula One's videos in English... but this video is so clear !! I understood all the explanations :)
Merci beaucoup pour ce contenu de qualité hihi
Merci! 😊
Man that is a lot of things to remember during the race regarding the wheel. Very impressive what these drivers do
I see a Mercedes video and I click 'like' before watching it. You guys are brilliant as always :)
Thank you 🙏
That was fantastic! Valtteri would make a great professor!
Thank you for the fantastic video. All of the insight and what the drivers do to get around this difficult circuit is extremely useful for a sim racer like myself. Keep up the good work, would love to see more content like this!
I’ve always felt that Bottas would be a great friend to have. He seems like such a humble, kind, and just all round nice guy. I’m glad he’s still got a drive and he seems to be enjoying life a bit more this year 🙂
Great seeing you guys putting out so much good content as of late. Gives us viewers some really good perspective and more insight of how it is to drive and operate an F1 car. Great work from the greatest team in Formula 1 ever.
Wow, this is such a kind and lovely comment, thank you so much 😊
Quality video, clear and precise points, and extremely well detailed. Thank you, Mercedes, Valtteri, and Riccardo for this insight!
We need more of these videos in future!

Mercedes never disappoints❤️
This new content from Mercedes is so good!!
That drift from Bottas was lit. That was some driving skills.
Nice video, very informative and great to see Valtteri’s enthousiasm when he talks about driving.
What s great video! Well done. You always give us a insight into the car and driver. Thanks Mercedes F1.
Great video!
Nice to finally see Valtteri's race engineer and hear about how he thinks about things.
Your channel is so good I discovered it some days ago and it's always clear, even for non native English, engineers take the time to speak "slowly". Thank you for the content it's very interesting and well done, no doubt why you are World Champions!
Best f1 team channel so much information they provide us
Thank you
Mercedes are very nice. They reply to the people's coments instead of the other teams not replying. And also LH44 Will win the 8th title
Valtteri's beard suggests he's getting ready for some winning.
3:38 You can see the smile start to creep in as he remembers how cool of a job he has and how tough it can be
I love to see something similar for every track. The Circuit Stats graphic is especially interesting. Mr. Bottas is an excellent presenter.
"It's a slow track, 290 KMH"
They just flexing on the speed of F1 cars.
Every other team : Write that down! Write that down!! 😅😂
😂
Such mad props to these guys! I know these guys are busy when racing but when you get to hear from the drivers themselves, its insane what they have to do!
will we get another good driver from Finland?
Wow!! Always wanted to know this. Can't get any better. Thanks Merc!!
Another 1-2 finish coming up!
I would have loved a full lap with Bottas comments on all the adjustments he made
Still a great video
Maybe one for next year 😜
Bottas has been so under appreciated at Mercedes. He is a legend and a great driver.
Love Mercedes for everything. Now also for bringing these deep insights to us fans! Thank you 😊
1:49 was sick man. So effortless
1:47 Ok that was really smooth
After watching the video.... i've learned something and nothing at the same time
'something' about F1 and 'nothing' that will in any way affect your life x
Another example of how Mercedes bring the fans closer to race day. Great stuff.
Thanks Merc! Very informative video. Enjoyed it.
Still mad how they keep control over so many things at those speeds
What I will never understand is how they do all of this while constantly screaming. I mean, I know would be screaming so I assume they do too.
Loved this explination❤ thank you guys
2:16 We miss him too 🙏🏻. Keep on the good work
You watch one onboard lap of Senna driving in monaco, manual shifting, fighting with the car, sometimes taking the corner with one hand, and you instantly know. All these dials on the wheel, all these settings, hocus pocus..i couldn't give a flying F. Then go back, and watch another Senna lap.
I hear what you say, but who is going faster?
mercedes be answering everyone lmao
Thanks Mercedes! More of this please!
Amazing! I didn't realize they constantly change settings on a turn by turn or section by section basis like that. I had just assumed it was something they would occasionally tweak throughout the race to dial the car in more the way they want it.
Meanwhile here I am trying to finish a lap with a front wing...
"Get in there bottas! Well done mate!"
Wanna here that
Yeah, about that...
Love listening to the drivers breakdown a track like this
Outstanding video and quite informative.
This straight up debunks the myth that men can’t multitask 😂
Can't wait for the race!
I can't wait for qualifying, I can wait for the race
@@callumparker3293 🤡
All this work and not even taking into account other drivers present on track. Having to avoid them or overtake them. Amazing work!
Yep, so alongside actually driving the car there's also everything else going on around them!
Wow I never thought that Monaco is a 7 gear race. I thought going down the start finish straight that the drivers might go up to 8th gear. This whole video was great and very much insightful. Thanks Mercedes
Love all your videos! Perfect way to get the fan engaged in with understanding of the technical and logistical challenges of F1 racing. Super nice @mercedesamgf1
How many laps before Mazepine puts it into a wall?
? 0 laps...
definitely wanna see more bottas commentary in videos w the guys
Thanks Mercedes , the video was very helpful 👌🏽👍🏻❤️
"Its just the car" they say. These drivers live on the limits and not crashing is insane. I imagine HAM has an inner sense and feel for what the car should do - and he would extract the best time in any car.
Seeing this just makes me even more concerned for everyone safety with Mazespin racing at Monaco. I pray he doesn't hurt someone.
Damn all this and Hamilton still dominates respect 🙏
Hey @Mercedes thanks for the video!!!
This is a great educational content to allow viewers understand how complex it is to race a F1 car, and have them think twice in the future before criticizing a driver's error......even 1 corner, there are probably multiple settings to tweak and eye and attention still need to be on the race track and apex...etc...
- Pilots now days: Pushing buttons like an octopus.
- A.Senna: why do you need buttons? *Hold my caipirinha*
Daily reminder that it was Hamilton's fault.
Ericsson's fault
Great to hear Valtteri's insights.
Great work, With the changes next year could you show us the wind tunnel y250 etc. You do an amazing job of explaining.
Use me as a “we love Bottas” button
Great stuff Mercedes, do more like this.
something about the onboard footage in this video looks so much more raw and fast, not sure if it's the camera perspective but I definitely prefer it to what we get on broadcasts!
Its because its so narrow. You dont habe many circuits where you hab just a few centimeters to the wall the whole lap.
Great info video, thanks guys.
