A Breathtaking Race Start | Jolyon Palmer Analysis | 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix 

3:23 yea this won’t be an excuse tho since Leclerc saw Perez in the outside of both cars when he was behind them

So Verstappen crashed out by himself. Sure he was avoiding the crash, but no one crashed into him forcing him wide.

Carlos is going to school lecrash next year

Jolyon your analysis is superb, but you look unnecessarily scruffy.

Russell deserved to win for that start alone ! I think Bottas was so determined to get to turn 1 first that he hung onto first gear for too long. What's worrying for safety reasons is the number of times a car gets squashed in the middle of a 3-car sandwich at a corner, with no way of escape

Bottas was just aming for Max. He blokked him several times.

What a great drive for Perez he really proof that he deserves a seat for next year.

Solid work Palmer keep it up. Thanks!

Makeup is in quarantine?

I read the comments and watched the vid wondering why everybody saying “he leaves all the space” i died when my ears heard it 😂🤣😂🤣🤣

Haha cool

Why does he always look like he has just got out of bed?

3 place grid penalty feels a bit too generous especially as this isn’t his first offence.

Driving with those red tractor, you need to be aggressive early, or you'll be a sitting duck later on... but then, that's the risk...

Leclerc needs to absolutely stop doing these lap 1 lunges just to, maybe get a P4 or a P5. It's ridiculous.

When Palmer sees the crash: Palmer: I am something of a crash expert myself

Sooo sooo sad Verstappen dropped out. There was a 99% chance he would have won.

Karma 🤪

Again Bottas poor start causes an accident. He needs to go and be replaced by Russell.

Verstappen clearly didn't realize that was gravel he was getting onto he thought it was solid runoff

Lame

Drop Bottas, get Russel or Perez!

This weekend confirmed that Bottas’ days are numbered in a top team. He’s there only not to have a friction with the great Hamilton.

For those saying that verstappen went faster just because he thought the dark gravel was tarmac, keep in mind that he could be also doing his best to simply avoid the crash. 5:47 Look at how close he was from being collected by a leclerc. Had he slowed down he would get slammed by leclerc anyway. I think what happened is that he was so focused on avoiding the crash that the gravel caught him by surprise (5:55 look at his head watching all the time to his left side where the crash was, and only when he hit the gravel he seemed to turn his head straight again), and by then he was just a passenger since the barrier was so close and he was carrying too much speed.

Look who’s talking about being safe at the first lap You are the weakest F1 driver for the past 10 years mate

Why people expect Leclerc to hold back like a grandma when there is a clear gap every time?

Call new dress one and I have heard so much praise for this guy called Verstappen but I have never seen him perform he only wins because he’s in the best car and even then he cannot beat the other guy called Lewis Hamilton strange

Thumbs down ,put the whole JP show back on YT ,I’m sure you can afford to...👎

What does 55.5 mean that flashes up on Bottas’ screen at 1:48 ?

Always enjoy Jolyon’s analysis very interesting and entertaining

Really nice annalists

Jolyon you look very tired. Get some sleep.

Leclerc being way too aggressive was probably out of desperation to keep the tractor he's driving competitive, hopefully theyll improve on 2021.

Sergio is a mature bull...there are still over 80 laps to go and no need to win the race on the 1st or 2nd lap. This like one mature and one young bull, on top of a hill, and see a group of cows in pasture below. The youn bull say let's run down and do one of the cow. The mature bull said, let's walk down and do them all.

Palmer has finally noticed the camera in his room

A "breathtaking start" on cyberpunk launch day. Coincidence? I think not!

Does anyone know the name of the background music please?

It's brilliant. These Jolyon's analysis is the reason why I pay F1TV.

So what all vettel fanboys gotta say now, now your dad also told that vettel was moaning for nothing

Crazy race got damage, last place lap 1 ,pit lap 1 , end race he winnner Awesome drive awesome team support and great drive

Feel for Seb, Leclerc's car updates have made him more competitive soo we should always take the comparisons between the two with a huge lump of salt.

You cannot win a grand prix on lap one, you can only lose a grand prix on lap one.

Leclerc Plays so much F1 online game mode he is just sends it with a mindset of 0 damage in real life, like if you agree

Leclerc is a menace with pulling that move .. Vettel called it in the last race , the only difference wars Vettel saw him coming and gave him the room as a team mate. .. he won’t learn until he gets punished time and again. Russell did a great job.

Breathtaking oh right today Cyberpunk 2077 releases. Smart move formula1 HUrun. Enjoy everyone.

Botas caused last inferno and he is responsible for another crash again. He just can not start properly he should be starting from last position Williams. On the other hand Hamilton has an easy job the best car and most useless team mate in the grid.

So gutted for Verstappen

Didn't bottas lock up, too?

even when mercedes lose they win a true positive cycle

I don't think verstappen goes on the throttle to avoid losing too much time. He goes on the throttle to avoid leclerc taking him out directly into the wall if he had given less throttle then he did now in this corner even the tiniest bit, leclerc would have taken him out as he misses leclerc within 1 or 2 inches. The moment after he has crossed leclerc he already is off-track. There was no way he could have avoided this crash.

Dear F1 , please add your subtitles on the screen. Im sorry cause very alot of "misheard" . I really appreciate it thank you ♥️. Greetings from Indonesian.

Where is Lando's start?! 9 places in one lap? We want to see it!

Poor verstappen

Finally someone saying Leclerc properly and not Leclerk... Whoever is saying Leclerk shouldnt even commentate

0:53 I've rarely ever seen Bottas driving ruthlessly. That's why Russell would be a better choice for Mercedes; he'll be able to better utilize the power that the car can offer.

i know why it was considered leclerc fault but he only locked up as a reaction to perez coming across him in an effort to fall behind perez. not really sure the penalty is warranted

I'm surprised Perez wasn't seen to be at fault there. He was on the outside line during the first lap and cut to the inside....there's almost always going to be a car on the inside line. If Max hadn't braked so early Perez would have taken him out too.

Where is Palmer?

Did Verstappen hit the brakes? Could that have saved him?

Verstappen was unlucky, but his reaction shows how dependent drivers are on cushy, paved run-off areas these days. Mistakes are rarely punished anymore

whats the background music>?

For Leclerc, it is exactly same situation as last week. What difference is, this time is not Seb, and no one gonna let him pass for free. Perez deserve a seat for next season, please!!!

According to James Allison russel simply just had a better reaction time to the lights

Mercedes AMG Petronas more like Scuderia mercedes

We need more Palmer

You have to stay alert on a street circuit.

Vettel be like, "there, I told you so"

Subtitulo en Español plis.

This was alot about the first and the last losers, and little about the winner.

Have you ever being in a race?

Leclerc is starting to be annoying.

Finally Leclerc's divebombs caused a crash on the opening lap. So many times Seb had to suffer and eventually slow down, but this race he has got a payback

2021 when Alonso retire the race Palmer: Karma.

eclair is a bit of a dive bomber.

Thought Max was just being whiny saying Bottas blocks too much on the starts, not after watching his on board

Charles Leberk

In a race like this on a Nascar style track, with 12 brilliant drivers and a couple of dumplings with just a second difference in qualifying it's anybody's race to win, this result means diddly squat. Put George in again next race and we might get a better or more accurate result.

Put full video on HUrun.

Palmer : "Checo" it out on F1 TV!😁😁

If Seb takes a tighter line while side by side with someone else then LeClerc wrecks him. He knows LeClerc is going to bomb him thus doesn't take his optimal line. Vettel knows what is coming and avoids it all together. That's his point. Sainz won't and most other drivers wouldn't. Seb has thrown in the towel and doesn't want to create any more drama for Charles or Ferrari on his way out the door. Hopefully this off-season will see Charles turn a little more to controlled aggression vs pure aggression.

EXCELLENT AND EXPERIENCE WORK NASEEEEER QATAR DAKAAAAR RALLY .. QAAATAR AIIIIR WAYSSSS

EXCELLENT AND EXPERIENCE WORK NASEEEEER QATAR DAKAAAAR RALLY .. QAAATAR AIIIIR WAYSSSS

2:31 Russell was ruthless here. The amount of lead he already took while Bottas was struggling with his grip.

To Joy Palmer: VET see on mirror LEC stream at him, just because LEC in red Ferrari he back off .. VET just can park his car on middle that corner .. LEC should respect others on 1st lap .. there are many laps to go, even motogp rider use this blockpass technic on last laps .. heloooo

“Palmer have retired.”

Leclerc was so in control of the car in austria, he even went to the kerb on the inside. It was Vettel who turn right, When Leclerc is already there. And did not leave a car width as rules state.

Announce RUS for _Abu Dhabi_ already, _Toto!_

Perez's car surprisely did not crash wow

That was a bad crash oof

evidence by Palmer that Vettel's comments on Leclerc being too aggressive had solid basis.

Just look at how early Vettel started to complain. The gap was there precisely because Vettel saw Leclerc lunging in without breaking early and thus gave him the space to avoid a crash while complaining on the radio. He could've closed the door and hug the apex and Leclerc would crash into him. You need to realize that he didn't have to give Leclerc that much space when he saw Leclerc coming like that. Anyone else would just close the door and make Leclerc look like a fool, like what Perez did. Look at Vettel's steering starting 7:12, use the white line as a reference. You can clearly see Vettel yielding, seeing how fast Leclerc was coming up without braking, to avoid a teammates crash. Again, any other driver would not yield to Leclerc. So to say Leclerc had the space, is just unfair.

Palmer is on of the worst drivers i have ever seen. He can't just give his Opinion on the races as he made the worst possible decision on the car!

I guarantee verstappen thought that there was no gravel there cos it looked like the tarmac run off

8 minute is a yoke!

Jolyon you are the first person that realized that Max could have avoided the wall but he accelerated trying not to lose more time and that little speed caused his losing control in the dirt of the runoff area. Amazing analysis, excellent job.

Palmer should be an F1 Steward!

Also the Leclerc Stroll collision in Russia should be mentioned. The guy needs to calm down.

LeClerc's classification lap was magical, just like the "MAGICAL" Ferrari fuel system in 2018

to be fair it didn't look like Leclerc was going much if any faster than those in front but they were all on the edge, the mercedes also locked up the front right

So, why did Leclerc not lock up vs. Vettel? -> Bcuz he didn't even need to brake so strong to stay behind him, Vettel left the door open this time. If Vettel closes the door, Leclerc gets a lock up, still being much too fast to avoid him there.
