No Formula 1 car has ever been measured going as quickly on an F1 circuit as Valtteri Bottas in his Williams FW38. Back in qualifying for the 2016 European Grand Prix at Baku City Circuit, the Fast Finn was measured by his Williams team travelling at a truly astonishing 378 Kph, or 234.9 Mph!

Thats 234mph for anyone who cba to google it
man this will def expose me as a new head, but I knew bottas has the record, however I ALWAYS assumed it was in the w10
379kmh Juan Pablo Montoya at Monza. Wiliams BMW.
Still not as fast as some hypercars
Was this Verstappen v Bottas Baku 2016 ?
VB77 WOW!! Alone him to High speed allá times.
weird thing is that car did not hit the limiter. The note was still going up when he hit the brakes. No reb bouncing at all. It could have gone faster.
🇦🇿
Williams are slippery and very quick on the straights
The highest speed ever couldn't catch a Red Bull lol
If you have never seen the video of Seena’s lap at Monaco it is really something to see perhaps the finest example of driving skills I’ve ever seen. And I’m really no Seena fan…. I like a Lauda and couple other guys before him but what an example of a great driver
In a William's car💀
Back to the time that Williams was quick at high speed tracks: Spa, Baku, Mexico City. Bad downforce, but high top speed. That year Valterri beat 2 times the highest top speed in F1 ever,(2 times higher top speed than the highest top speed ever driven in F1, both top speed did beat the old record) in Mexico and Baku.
You can also say that the Red Bull wasn't slow on the straights that year…
Major tow in effect!
Steel nuts
in mexico i think someone touched 381 kph
To slow to get in front of the Redbull😂
Senna would have passed him.
Telemetru would help
Despite the alltime highest topspeed, BOT couldn't overtake VER hahahaha. Shocking to consider it wasn't that long ago Williams was battling for podiums.
Hope they will rise again..
🏁🏎️👍👍👍👍
A red bull racing car pulling hard to one side trying to hit/block…. never seen that before LOL
It couldbe 1000KMPH, straight lines are boring.
how have F1 motors changed over the years? When were they most powerful?
Dude blocked him at the very last moment
BAR HONDA Bonneville salt flat run: Are you sure about that?!
😱😱😱😱😲😲😲😲
The braking at the end is the part that's impressive
lack of downforce
