One of the things that made the lap so epic for me was how he was alone on the track. No traffic, no distractions, just pushing the car to the limit and the cameras trying to keep up

[Hamlet-wpri]

I’ll never forget Alonso’s reaction during the interview as he was watching the lap live. I think there being no run-off places for the majority of the track made the lap more epic.

It was amazing to watch. Everyone was on the edge of their seats. Once for the ages considering the storyline in F1 up to that point. he was wringing the neck out of that car.

This will go down as one of the greatest "What If" laps in F1. I think this is one of those instances where the car was driven closest to it's theoretical limit. whatta stunner!

[cambrigeteam]

Beautiful animation. I really like you got rid of not important elements, keeping just the track layout and the cars.

This crash aged like fine wine, i bet if he didn't crash, it would be just remembered as a great qualifying lap but the crash combined with how strong and dominant mercedes had been in the later stages, he didn't leave a centimeter and each corner he was closer and closer to the barrier pushing his car to the limits and after seeing the purple sectors, being a redbull fan i was praying just bring it home now :)

[greenlantern]

Two corners away from perfection… the first and the last. Didn’t realize how much better Lewis got power down out of turn 1

[felinvirginia]

This lap allowed Jeddah to become an instant classic

[Cashmonet]

Can’t believe the level of detail on this videos. Thank you.

That season I was a Hamilton diehard fan but when I saw this lap, even I was excited. He was so fast and was so close to perfection

[melusijeisalngwenya]

That lap was historic. The whole pitlane had their eyes fixed on that redbull. Danny Ric and Alonso were being interviewed but they couldn't focus on the interview. Max was driving at the exact limit of the car. LEGENDARY!!!

Hamilton had about 0.2s in hand the whole weekend it looked pretty well sealed. And then Verstappen absolutely sent it on this crazy track. All the drivers were watching, everybody including Hamilton fans were on the edge of their seats going "how tf is he doing this". He was up by 0.4s going into the final corner when he lost the back. Just one of those completely nuts laps people talk about for years even though he DNF'd.

Really dig these videos, man. Hopefully one day you can show us how you make them; would love to see the process

[AugmentedGravity]

Ver's sw peaked at -0.400 (four tenths up) right before he crashed. Absolutely insane.

[lindsaybartch]

love the technology, great platform for a driver to see opportunities

[The_Doug]

Agree with everyone else, this was an absolutely EPIC lap. The culmination of that lap was brilliant, yet heartbreaking for Max. My humble opinion is that lap symbolized not only that entire season, but also made everyone realize just how gifted Max is. (Just my opinion, please don’t destroy me I’m just spouting stuff)

[thomaskorah]

What an amazing animation. Nice work.

That lap was one of the best laps, of not the best, lap I had ever seen. It’s a tragedy that it’s the lap that never was.

[cob-codeofbrawl]

You dont even need to rewatch it to realize how much of a spaceship that engine was in the straights

[ashitkotian]

He was pushing the car to it absolute limits, going full throttle at corners others wouldn't dare and you could feel it, that feeling was scared, adrenaline pumping, hope, mesmerized, disappointment.

[jauharshahbaz]

That lap showed us the glimpse of how fast a F1 car can be. The speed could be seen and felt.
