I agree, he has skills just missed the luck you sometimes need. That said the truly great drivers somehow always seem to find that bit extra so being a LH teammate is always going to be hard. If he races his own race he will come good. MB just need large balls to keep him.

lil bread not sure what you mean? Merc have always played it fair between teammates with zeros favourites until it’s obvious one can’t win at which time the team pull for the overall result. I have never heard VB state he is disadvantaged in anyway. LH got the hump when they pulled his mechanics away from him which upset his balance, didn’t make sense then or now however both drivers have proven to be very quick, VB has just been a tad unlucky as has SV in the red car. These guys are top drivers with little to separate them. The younger drivers are great but you can see they need experience before they become consistent. Max (after 4 years) is now becoming more complete. Just goes to show how good Lewis was to almost win the championship as a rookie!

And at the Nordschleife race the cars had to carry more fuel to , so a real hand full . I saw this car at Donington back in 2007 got to touch it , but not to sit in it . The guys from the Mercedes collection were wonderful to talk to It also helped that my Wife is German so she could translate instead of them struggling to find English words They told us some very interesting facts about the cars back then and the different set ups for races . Every thing on these cars is like a work of art the detailing when you get close up to one and look inside the Cockpit and then at the engine , one of those great days . I mean you can see all the race cars in the Museum and that is mind blowing but seeing one running hearing the engine is another thing.

One of the best video ever seen. Bottas in a W125 ... dream come true. Dat sound, man !!

My vote is for Valtteri as well, and he needs the support and commitment of entire team like Nico had... especially from the top. He will never rise to the level of Lewis or Nico if he is treated like he is lucky to have the drive and feels constantly like he could be dropped at any time. No person "working" for any one company/team could truly excel under such pressure. Just my take... lots of luck for the rest of the season. We are behind you Valtteri!

If I know Toto well enough, he will keep Bottas for 2020. There is no reason to switch to Ocon as it's an unknown instead of a great supporting act that they have in Bottas. The only thing that would happen is more points are taken off HAM or less points are scored and the second Merc is further down the standings, and then Mercedes aren't drivers or constructors champions. Makes no sense to change him now.

Damn, that sounds good! Hope Mercedes keeps the best partnership going & retain Valtteri next year.

He's not the most charismatic driver out there but you can't help but love him. I'm happy to hear the reports that he'll be staying with Mercedes.

KEEP VALTERI!

Very Special👌

THE SONG !!! AMAZING! 🤩😍

Quite an honor to be allowed to drive such an historic car. Trying to put down that much power without simply spinning the tires had to have taken a very special touch. We’re very fortunate that these machines run let alone still exist so hats off to Mercedes for allowing us to enjoy them! 👍🏻

@jcgabriel1569

Жыл бұрын

Trying to put the power down without spinning the tyres is an impossibility in this car... In 1958, Tony Brooks and Peter Collins, both known Formula 1 drivers at the time, demonstrated a W125 and a W154 at Oulton Park. Brooks noticed a vibration while driving the W125, so, thinking that something's wrong, he pulled into the pits and reported it to the mechanics. He was then told that the vibration is actually caused by near-constant wheelspin under acceleration, and was sent out again! Peter Collins, on the other hand, had experience driving powerful GP cars, having driven the infamous BRM V16 in several occasions before. And when he drove the W125, he said that it is a lot easier to drive than the BRM, claiming that "it made the BRM look like an Austin Seven!"

Please do more vids like this showcasing Mercedes history and cars.

The sound of that inline 8, wonderfull!

Great video again Letting your drivers prove they have large ones by driving these almighty animals, Those who arranged for them to drive them must have Large Ones too looking at the way they slide.

people will talk about all the great sounding modern cars, but this, this is a magnificent sounding car.

I can't believe you don't have a longer video of this!? I'd pay actual money to watch more of Bottas in this epic car, please put more footage out there.

I believe there’s a lack of media attention on 1930s Grand Prix Racing, when it was such a golden era.

Jeeezus KERRRIST. 😲😳😲😧😳😲😧 did you HEAR that engine? Holy schitt, I've only seen those things in old footage with no sounds...that thing is A BEAST. I have a while new appreciation for the OGg F1 drivers but also a deeper respect for the new guys like Me. Bottas. This is like comparing a P51 Mustang we youth the Merlin engine to an F22 Raptor, a plane that reacts so suddenly and violently it can knock you out with so many G forces, just like today's F1 cards. This is simply AWESOME

Those cars are sooo beautiful, what a lucky dude

What a great sportsman, big balls Valtteri, your the man

My favorite AND the most beautiful car of all time. Holding right now in my hand (albeit in sad shape) an LP that I first listened to in the 1960s as a child. Produced by Riverside Records/Bill Grauer Productions, it was recorded at Oulton Park, England on June 27th and 28th, 1958, and featured the W125 and W163 running both separately and simultaneously. Of course, Karl Kling was there (I expect these cars go NOWHERE without the director present : ) Nothing I've heard since has ever matched it.

No hay nada mas emocionante que conducir una flecha plateada. Bottas disfruta como un niño

I really hope we'll see Valtteri for at least 1 more season in Mercedes, because he's still growing enormously as a driver, which of course all drivers on the grid are...But I think it's pretty clear that Valtteri still has loads of potential to unlock, and if/when he finally does unlock that, he's gonna be absolutely blazing in every session!

So refreshing to see one of these old beauties being pushed around a track by Valtteri, we saw power drifting, four wheel drift, oversteer and understeer. So glad he didn't drop it though - that WOULD have got him kicked out of the team.
