That's one way to make your rookie debut in a Mercedes!
Super-sub George Russell was called in to replace Lewis Hamilton for the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix following his positive Covid19 diagnosis. Russell had an incredible start and was in the lead, but after a disastrous pit-stop he was forced to clamber up the grid again, leading to this sensational overtake move on team mate Valtteri Bottas.

Lol fresh mediums vs old hards

Huge tire advantage here

F..... g Mercedes, they almost never make a mistake, but this time when you really want them to win (George)they f.. k it up like never before. I am a ferrari fan but this race i really wanted George to win. He deserve it
wynarator
tf is this vertical
Lucas Mota
On medium tyres against Bottas hard tyres
Jotarototo
I prefer Russel than Bottas but remember guy, Bottas run with hyper used tyre
Deepak Kumar Gangwar
What a beautiful shot in the start
stevejh69
Get him to replace Hamilton NOW.
I have been a Lewis fan for years, but he did not even congratulate George on his drive. That is cheap and shows very little class. We expect so much more for the world champion. Unless he is terrified George is gonna beat him!

BOTTAS HAD OLDER TIRES.
ALESSANDRO PACHER
George is The future generations in a team Mercedes f1 💝🥇✌️👍
Andy Glastonbury
Valtteri, this is James. Remember those new tyres you were supposed to get, well a funny thing happened in the pits and we decided we should give them to George instead. Sorry. 😂🤣😂🤣
ZIGAG
that pass reminds me of CARTS "The Pass" at laguna seca
Danijel Ujčič
not another case of vertical video syndrome :-(
Bastorro
The day, everyone was a Mercedes fan
Sarmad Iqbal
It still hurts thinking of what merc did to Georgey boy
Leonardo Di cesare
Es el coche mas rápido de la parrilla el de Hamilton. Por eso el que lo use va a ser el ganador. Go Russell!
ZPERO
The real question is why is this video vertical.
patricia finn
Truly iconic. He needs to be in mercedes..either by retirement or letting botas go (was promising but last season under performed..times up)
Xeni Mera
To whom it may concern
BlindGoose1
Considering the pit f*****, and the very worn and harder tiers Bottas was on, this looks cool, but it does not show any fair fight, and it's a shame how it's misused.
Laurent Quaedvlieg
And still he didn't win
Francisco Baeta
Just saying that Carlos Sainz did the exact same move on Bottas
Aha
Thanks for the aspect ratio. Makes it so much clearer to watch.
GozieZilla
Mediums Vs hard
matthew 2779
Soldiers are brave and sacrifice. F1 drivers are all divas and babies
Radosław Antosz
Fresh mediums vs very used hards and it is called epic? Pace difference was huge from the car itself.
I do not deny George is fast but why hype something that is not epic? For example his quali laps are more epic than this overtake.
Nezioo Araujoo
George was on faster tyres... so this overtake isnt THAT impressive. not taking away from georges abilities.
David Jones
He is the real deal. I still think he didnt really have a puncture.
Curt André
to be fair, he's on old tires at that time. but I rate the first lap overtake
Luke Daniel Galon
It's surpising how a youtuber atarted to spread the clips phenomena.
Gordon Shamway
we need more Russell overtakes... !
Dhwaj Ranka
Man! This is so satisfying to watch!!
Yeolde GamerSteve
It's disgraceful that Bottas is in that seat for 2021, everyone know's he is mediocre with poor racecraft. but I guess don't want anyone challenging golden boy do they? sadly it makes the races boring and predictable.
hello scrubs
hard tyres + brake issue...
Paolo
why this truly horrible video ratio???? i really don't understand
anyway, the video should be called: "how 40M $ a year for Hamilton are not worth it"
LINGUINES-CREED
The move that ended all doubts that IT IS obviously THE CAR and nothing to do with Hamilton being the "best driver ever" if a rookie who barely fit it in the car can do that to Bottas it really says it all.
Atharva Zodpe
When you have only 22 seconds to prove yourself in F1:
angga jj
Nico Rosberg : DO BOTTAS CAREER IS OVER?!?!!?!🔥🔥👉😏👉🔥🔥
Jackson Taber
Call me a conspiracy theorist but I still feel like Mercedes intentionally butchered George's race
Maximilian Schröder
because an overtake at bottas cant be the best of the year
Kilian S.
Fresh Mediums, vs old hards.. Bottas had no real chance
Sumit Shines
well I feel there were alteast 4 drivers better than Hamilton or atleast on his level .....and Magnussen was one of them...he never had a great car ...his raw pace was pretty obvious in some qualifying days.....I feel sad that some people because of such huge dominance of other cars cant even show their talent .....sad that He has left F1
Sumit Shines
Thats how the teammates should fight ......Learn Bottas learn
Fabian Schneider
Russel has to drive in a Mercedes!!!
Si_Anu Itu
why portrait tho?
BringMeYourAzz
That´s my favourite overtake from all the seasons I´ve watched so far.
Abang Sabri
I wonder how exciting it will be if Hamilton and Russell in Mercedes..
Ziggy Vertang
We all know Russell with proven talent in the Merc last year deserves a permanent seat but there are only two seats and due to commitments to other drivers means we have to watch Russell just sit out for another year again in the back field where he doesn't belong. 2022 I hope he gets the call up or Merc releases him to go else where
laxen122
this phone res is trash
Nathan B
Sainz' overtake>
OYC
Russell is superior to Hamilton
Anupam Sudhir Nambiar
When Formula 1 YouTube channel is running out of content. They post Instagram content😐😐
Nischal Varadhan
Looks like F1 YouTube channel is desperate for subscribers and viewers
Sindhu Sojan
The problem is, everyone will start to hate him when he wins many races in the mercedes
Samuel Sudheer Vara
Bottas on used Hards and Russell on fresh mediums
Deita
Ham's scared at this point lol
Keshvien Inba
Insane overtake right there
Arno Pardla
Great success!
Zbynek Broda
Oh man.. need to see George at least in mid field
Fabian Cieslik
Russel play F1 2010 on Legend in Bahrein
DAN HAM
* Hamilton pressed dislike to this video.
Hell Hound
Where are the “ it’s the car doing all the work” fans are at ? I also wonder if the Russell fan will use same complaint when he’s in the team 😂
Sindhu Sojan
Russell had better tyres too! Poor Carletto he did the same thing in a slower car against bottas and nobody cares!
Scatty
WHY Vertical video syndrome????????????
Jesse Lyons
That was the only race I ever wanted Mercedes to win
Omer Turker
If you go for a gap that no longer exists, you are Pastor Maldonado.
DODGE GAMING 13
Fact : George was on new set of medium and bottas was on old set of hard and lost time in double staking
Jeremy Sebastian
And Bottas ran wide so yeah idk why is everyone hyping for this overtake
miguel
Pain
Max T
Bottas must be dropped. All lives must matter equally always

Kung Fu Kenny
Can't wait to see this again on Drive to Survive
Epikmanful
Only this moment i want mercedes to win T_T
Janardan S
Tbf bottas was on old tyres
The Goat
great overtake but bottas was on like 50 lap old tires when george was on fresh mediums
Belén Araya Donoso
You enjoy opening the wound, don't ya? :(
Ballistic Tech
How did Bottas not manage to hold his position with those fresh new tires he had just put... oh wait.
Ignacio Chocobar
estamos todos de acuerdo que fue la mejor maniobra del año?
Esethu Sobhekwa
Think this is the first where people genuinely wanted a Merc to win the race
SpaceManJoe
Bro stop bullying Bottas FFS
Robert Sagest
Remember that since all you have to do to be a 7 time world champ is beat the other guy in the fastest car. Russell is already Hamilton. Took him 1 race.
Nettil The Cat
Ah yes i could see it perfectly, it would be better if it was on the HORIZONTALY
Pitchwisse
Everyone liked that.
aydan khaliq
I don't understand what is so special about this overtake. It's a simple, make your opponent go wide, get a better exit to get alongside the other driver and down the inside of the next corner.
BLT
But Bottas was fitted with old tires back while Russell with new tires during the pit error. New tires overtake old tires is nothing special.
Gerardo Mosqueda
Botitas tenia neumáticos viejos y mitad de Rusell. Se fue de largo y aprovecho. No se me hace como para resaltarlo
Alexo Chromatic
Honestly, it would have been upsetting if a car that broke away most of the race on more new and softer tyres could not get around the driver on older and harder tyres. "Epic Overtake" is a reach.
Razeluxe 13
Bottas fans be like "ThAtS aN oLd HaRd TyRes
MATE, George seat didn't even fit, he injured his own shoulders because the cockpit is too small.
Bottas is at his peak rn, and Russell is still developing, if I were toto, Hamilton replacement in the future would be Russel
toneykk
i mean bottas was on 20 plus old tyres and russel was on new mediums
why are we so impresed?
Gerson Quintana
Bottas= pecho frío
Gatta
Bruh wasn't Bottas on 30 lap old tires and George had just gotten new fresh mediums... isn't this kind of pass just expected
Ethan Hawkins
ngl i saw that overtake like 5 times in the f2 race and george had new tyres compared to bottas
Maherushka
That is totally unfair to Bottas. He was on older hard tires. George is great we all know that, but to bully Bottas over one misfortune-benefitting-overtake is ridiculous.
Gurpreet Ratoul

Gowtham
Hey, hamilton, we have a guy who can drive for us at 1/10th of your salary
Just A Random Guy
You all have no idea about how loud i screeched during that overtake
I sounded like a siren
Juho Stèn
I just don't get the Russel obsession
dedik mahendra
And then hamilton came and doesn't want russels take his seat again, because he know everything will be change for rusells, for Mercedez i think its a mistake to not promote rusells to their factory team because someday he can stole by another team outside Mercedez
Sel Os
Why is this still heartbreaking to remember
Mads Kjerulff
Please dont ever upload vertical video ever again
