Lewis Hamilton reached his 97th pole position in his career with a great lap in Portimão and of course the qualifying training was very interesting, very atypical and we are going to talk about that now. Hello friend of the hangover formula 1, welcome to another video I’m Matheus Pucci and we had a qualy as expected, atypical qualy in Portimão really interesting with an incognito until the last minute and Hamilton ended up coming out as pole-position, but it wasn’t easy, we have a lot to talk about, especially there in the middle of the pack so stay here let me like it so you tell me you want to see more videos this way and also don’t forget to subscribe to the channel and if you want to be a supporter of receiving the magazine is only to support down there with only 5 reais. Well then, let’s talk about that qualy, let’s start to give part below, the first ones that were eliminated Latifi, Magnussen, Grosjean, Giovinazzi and Raikkonen are not necessarily surprises in the elimination wave of Q1, what calls attention is that once russel passed by with his williams and then the latifi walked up to as close to Magnussen and Grosjean, the two haas stayed behind showing that the car is really not good and the car is not only the car but the drivers are not they manage to extract well from the car and alfa romeu also showing the decadence of the team that in another time, was a team that fought for points. Russel managed to get to Q2, which has been somewhat unusual, but once again confirms that Russel is a driver to be studied, a driver to be considered by the teams and that if Williams really wants to exchange him for Perez he has to think much if it is worth this cost benefit, the boy runs too much. Going to Q2 is where we started to have surprises, because surprises, we have Stroll with a racing point that is usually in Q3 , for example, and we have Sebastian Vettel who for the 7th consecutive race cannot move to Q3, Sebastian Vettel even said in an interview that he got the most out of the car and that he could n’t do much more than that, the difference between him and Leclerc in Q2 was 6 tenths, almost 6 tenths, really very absurd, the difference that Leclerc is putting in Vettel during the season in general is something very imposing and it draws attention, it draws a lot of attention, people here sometimes think that I hate Vettel, I don’t hate him, Vettel just has really been slow since last year and if he he lost the position of first place of first driver of Ferrari is because he could not be faster than Leclerc, last year even Ferrari treated him as first driver and Leclerc even disobeyed team order, because of that, but s Leclerc ended up being the favorite since Vettel did not deliver what was expected of him.
Vettel is left behind with a Ferrari that had been showing 03:05 - in Free Practice an interesting evolution, very cool evolution and that he was constantly putting there, Leclerc mainly, in the top 6, Top 7 and Vettel is also sometimes between the heads, that is it is a car that shows a certain evolution, let’s say, a certain preparation for next year. Russel starts in 14th position, excellent for Williams Kvyat, he once again took a beautiful one from Pierre Gasly´s Sacode, Stroll as he said also took Sergio Pérez´s Sacode, Stroll never showed himself to be a pilot who adapted to this Portimão circuit, it may be that tomorrow in the race he will get a good result, it may be, but still he didn’t show to have caught the circuit’s morning . And the other one that was left out was the Ocon, so I will make a reservation there, Renault doesn’t seem to be doing much this weekend, so the Ocon staying a bit until Ricciardo isn’t even that surprising, I would say it’s even normal. Ricciardo crashed and still passed to Q3, he ended up not making time because he was unable to recover the car, but Ocon stayed a little bit there almost two tenths behind Ricciardo so it’s on the acceptable margin, the Ocon that has been charged to walk closer Ricciardo’s if he really wants to keep the accent in the coming years, he has a contract until next year, but we know that in F1 the contracts are not being respected lately, it is not even then the Ocon I will make this reservation, he walked very close to Ricciardo and one position behind, I would say he is where he is expected to be, because Ricciardo is one of the top drivers in Formula 1. Looking at the Q3 we have a Pierre Gasly who once again does a good job with his alpha tauri and that is to say, his best lap at the weekend was the lap of Q1, that is if he did the lap of Q1 again, if he had repeated his lap of Q1 he would have started there more or less for what I see here he would have started it more or less in 7th and 8th, but they will be watching Racing Point mainly because of Sergio Pérez over there, but between McLaren and Sergio Pérez there is Albon that once again did not deliver what waiting for him, Albon came out of medium tires first, questioned the team, questioned the strategy of helping Verstappen in a vacuum, anyway, when he put on the soft ones he also couldn’t improve much and with that his average back from Q1, Q2 and Q3 was the same, that is, he walked the same ballad in the three laps all there at the house of 1: 17.
400 and yet it was far from what is expected, for you to have an idea 06:18 - the verstappen, his worst lap was 1: 17.0, so Albon didn’t deliver what was expected of him again and will start in sixth position, Sergio Pérez took advantage of that, went to fifth, it could be the racing point’s trump card to stay third in the constructors, right, Sergio Pérez in fifth to get a good start, he must overcome the Leclerc ferrari that at first it shouldn’t have a good race pace, but we don’t know, Ferrari brought updates to Portimão and I would say that Ferrari has been looking like a good evolution so Leclerc starting in fourth which is perhaps the great achievement of this Qualy is Leclerc starting in fourth I would say that chances of ferrari have improved the pace of the race, there has improved the possibilities for Leclerc to get a good result, score important points for the team so let’s keep an eye on Leclerc, the start of the race will be very over there it may be that he can stay ahead of Perez, he may be overtaken by Perez but not by Albon, anyway, let’s see how Ferrari will behave in the race or if it will be something like what we saw recently where he started ahead and then during the race he started falling, falling, falling, falling until he reached the point where he hardly scored any points. And yet we got to the first three , Verstappen, Bottas and Hamilton, those three up front are not surprising. What was interesting is that Verstappen was walking there in the same club, he was getting close to them, but then the two Mercedes put the medium tires and they moved faster , medium tires they were having a better performance than the soft tires which is not common but mercedes took advantage of this to make a good lap, you see that Hamilton put almost three tenths in the Verstappen so mercedes really gave that cat jump, maybe if Verstappen put the middleweight would get a little better lap ? Okay, we don’t know, but the fact is that Mercedes was better at middleweight and got pole with Hamilton in a second or third lap, I will not remember now, medium tires so his tire was already quite used and Bottas if I am not mistaken, just one lap with his midfielders and ended up staying a tenth behind, Hamilton made a great lap in passing, so the good thing to see is that Verstappen managed to walk close, but still, I would say no as close as we would like, if you consider that Bottas got to do 1: 16,400 in Q2 then we know that Red Bull may still be a bit distant from Mercedes, mainly in the race pace, but mercedes has already said no will ride with DAS in Portimão, so she will have a hard time warming up tires and should not have the straight advantage, it may be that Verstappen will achieve something in the race, it may be, but anyway those three over there heading the formula 1 it’s nothing new we hope the race is also among one of these three as a winner, but the expectation is good the expectation of the race in general is very cool and I want to know your opinion in the comments, okay?
