What is the Job of an F1 Reserve Driver?
Переглядів 16,792
Місяць томуFrom being primed and ready to jump in the F1 car at short notice, to soaking up all the engineering insights and bringing them to the simulator, there’s more to being a Reserve Driver than meets the eye.
We caught up with Frederik Vesti in Australia to find out what he gets up to as one of our Reserve Drivers both at a Grand Prix and back at base.

Vesti is the true 2023 F2 champion. Good luck in ELMS Fred.

What…, he lost the title at Spa when he crashed by his own doing on the reconnaissance lap, Zandvoort when he spun it at T1, and Monza when he went for the stupid move on Stanek and took himself out, Pourchaire wasn’t as fast, but he was consistent as hell, something Vesti wasn’t, which is why he lost the title

@mini3886 Місяць тому
spa yes, but the other stuff is not true. His wheels fell off in zandvoort and the stanek fight was not vesti's fault it was a racing incident but you can blame that on vesti when he pushed onto the grass. Dude for sure deserves a f1 seat more than pouchaire @@notthefia9154

Hope to see you in an F1 car in 2025, Fred. You deserve it. The real F2 Champion of 2023!

Thanks Fred! As always, these videos about the roles that different people play in the entire setup, are always interesting and informative.

Give this man a seat in F1!
@pato10111 Місяць тому
Mercedes don't appear to be getting behind him or Mick for an F1 seat so if I were him, I would set my sights on another category.

Correlation has been an issue
@sleqit Місяць тому
I think on the w15, even with a replacement, you will show results indistinguishable from the current racers.🙃

Mercedes hat sich für Damon Hill entschieden, nach dem Alonso gezeigt hat, das man nie zu alt ist um was zu erreichen. Hill will es mit 63 Jahren nochmal wissen
@nishilkakaya4068 Місяць тому
The job for a reserve F1 driver is that they hope something happens to one of the main drivers so they can get a chance so that way they can put themselves on the radar and get a full time race seat and hopefully not end up like Nyck De Vries.
@WillyD478 Місяць тому
To not have to work at all but still get paid a nice chunk of money
@pato10111 Місяць тому
I think they get paid very little as drivers until they are in an F1 car. I could be wrong and there are probably exceptions to the rule. Bearman said in an interview he was pretty broke.
@crystal8537 Місяць тому
I think they r paid very little cos their salary is under cost cap... thatd why all these f2 drivers who became development or reserve drivers r seen as jobless
@steers3686 Місяць тому
I thought Mick was?
@mini3886 Місяць тому
they are both, mick and Fred
