Переглядів 2,792,473
3 роки томуDriving an F1 car is much more than just steering, braking and accelerating... 👀
So, what is a driver's workload like during a hot lap, and why is Monaco the most challenging lap of all? Allow Valtteri and Riki to explain! 🤓

Bottas’ communications skills is on another level. It’s not just his command of language nor his fluency. I mean, he knows how to relate the actual sensation to his listeners. Should this man be giving lectures or telling stories or coaching, I’m all ears.

No other sport or hobby like it!

The Netflix show is a reality TV show, the audio is heavily edited to make it entertaining.

If you unlock the differential you'll allow the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds and if you lock it you force the rears to rotate at the same speed, each is beneficial for different corners on a circuit to maximise speed on exit .

Kimi was a centennial talent. In his peak, Schumi didn’t want him to Ferrari, 2005 and 2006, and then Alonso, the Spanish bus driver, 2009. When he came back and was 3rd with Lotus (!!) in the Championship, that is something which tells everything. Just leave me alone…
