SELECT name, velocity, COUNT(*) AS count, 
COUNT(CASE WHEN category = 'A' AND id = 1 THEN 1 END)
FROM section 
GROUP BY name, velocity

This should work.

If record does not meet the condition then it will return a NULL, and count skips NULL fields.

Something like this:

SELECT name, velocity, COUNT(*) AS count, 
SUM(CASE WHEN category = 'A' AND id = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
FROM section 
GROUP BY name, velocity
