same here

With a straight face! I had to double check I was watching the right video!

Same bro lmao

I do wonder if Button will see this and have a laugh :D

I had the EXACT same thought the second i saw that and was about to text that. Please give Scott a price for that transition to manscape, best ever 😂

Asking the REAL questions.

You could say it was a smooth transition

Came her for this. Was not disappointed!

I thought it was pretty smooth 😏

This got me all excited but it turns out you just meant Segue. Get Scott on a segway for the ad segues!

That caught me off guard... I was TF? 😂😂

Oh hea

It was also a nice segue!

:laughing: no joke!

yeah that was pretty good 🤣

same

It's almost as if he had a car significantly faster than everyone else...

@@Bahamuttiamat The Red Bull wasn't that far off the Brawn's pace

@@Bahamuttiamat Considering he came pretty close to losing the championship and the Brawn had literally zero development during the season, no he didn't. At the start yes but that was the double diffuser, and both Williams and Toyota had those from the start.

​@@Bahamuttiamat you can still drive a backmarker smoothly lmao

It is something to behold. Although i do enjoy the modern day cars being on the absolute edge through anthony nough. The fastest cars always look like they are going to hit the barrier there.

Also for endurance racing where tire preservation is key.

​@@AndyFromBeaverton and fuel economy

We shall see very soon and I’m very excited myself

​@@CringeLord0119wouldn't it be just sweet to see Jenson smoke the good ole boys?

Guess what!? Jenson is racing the Nascar #15 car!!! Button will race on March 26 at COTA, July 2 at the Chicago street circuit and Aug. 13 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course!

Comment of the week 😂😂😂

the meat riding is crazy!!

Neither was Hamilton. Odd to leave two of the very best out.

For real, and Lewis is very good on his tires. Drivers like Button and Perez are easy on their tires but they aren’t usually on the top pace. It’s a lot easier to save tires if you aren’t driving at 100%. Lewis, George, Max, etc. are the real tire whisperers. Keep the tires good while being at top pace. I’m still a big fan of Jensen but I think people hype up his ‘11 Canadian gp too much. Doubt he would have won had he not run his teammate straight into a barrier. It ridiculous that he didn’t get a penalty for that, going 170mph+ and runs Lewis into a barrier on the straight when he went for a pass. Button was usually pretty clean wheel to wheel just like Lewis but that was so blatant.

It may be smoother to write these six sentences as one sentence, but it's also grammatically incorrect.

@@AisuruMirai FIXED: It may be smoother to write these six sentences as one -sentence- , but it's also grammatically incorrect.

2 conformists to other man made standards. Being born followers of other people; a state almost lower than being an animal. Learning those simple rules or tricks is on the same level as an animal, those can learn tricks too. Knowing other peoples made up rules wont change how intelligent you are born and how much of a degenerate you both have become in pretending you are smart. I bet I would be correct to say you both are clueless @ life

Come on Scott, let's do Kimi

Yes. Especially on how Kimi Raikkonen able to get on the throttle extremely early, earlier than anyone else.

Are talking about pre sabbatical Kimi or post sabbatical Kimi? Seems to me on his return with Lotus Renault, his inputs were generally softer than pre 2010. Btw, I used to be a regular at Pouhon corner (2007 - 2012), and I still think Kimi is the most spectacular driver I’ve seen on entry to that corner. I swear, it was like his rear was ahead of the front; made me gasp every time.

@@Karma2Babylon Any version of Kimi. Early-Mid 2000's Kimi, 2012-2013 Kimi, and 2017-2018 Kimi.

​@@elijahprasad7884 how about Nascar kimi?

kimi was fast at watkins glen until he crashed out. i love watching kimi in nascar especially at the road courses.

Jenson at Le Mans coming up is something I’m excited for also.

​@@vincentfegley6068 ..and it wasn't even his fault. He just got caught up by another car. Shame it had to end that way but at least we will see more of him soon alongside Button.

If you're talking about keeping tires alive Checo said he learned that from Kobayashi at Sauber.

​@@bassmunk ayo kobayashi a legend for that

Checo mostly credited his current driving style to preserve tyre to Kobayashi during his tenure in Sauber.

Indeed he had two great teammates that made him grow in the sport

@@cl_0ud470 One of the most underrated drivers ever. What an ace.

Smooth as Scott's face?, lol!

I'd also like to know this, Peter Windsor talks about it all the time

I can explain what Rob's terminology means. Just for the record, I'm a race instructor too and I know both Scott and Rob. So, what Rob means by "a flat car" is mostly relevant to trail-braking. You've heard Scott talk about "vee-ing off" a corner. Some call it the V-line, others the A-line. This refers to making the racing line straighter at both the entry and exit of the corner and getting most of the rotation done around the apex (or clipping point) - reducing the amount of time the car is doing most of its turning, therefore "shortening the corner". Something I haven't heard Scott mention yet is another upshot of trail-braking... as well as keeping weight (or load) over the front wheels, what else is happening? Well, if you think about it, weight going over the front axle means the front suspension is being compressed, i.e. it's being pre-loaded. If the springs are already compressed, then there's not much more left to compress as you gradually tighten the line between turning in and reaching the apex. This means the car remains more horizontal and less prone to the outside front corner nose-diving (visibly or not) and putting all or most of the weight on the one, front outer tyre. The lateral weight transfer is minimised and the distribution of weight across the front axle is maximised, so there is more overall frontal grip as the inside tyre is also contributing to it. That's what Rob means by "a flat car". I can assure you that’s what Rob means by “a flat car” and “shortening the corner” as I’ve discussed it with him and he’s confirmed it. So, what you end up with is an earlier, faster, but smooth and progressive turn in, making an initially straighter but gradually tightening line and slowing the further into the corner you get; a slightly tighter and slower rotational speed around the middle of the corner; then an exit line which is also straighter, allowing for better acceleration, which will transfer weight to the rear, providing more rear grip, squatting the rear suspension and transferring weight over the rear axle, therefore minimising lateral weight transfer (roll) and keeping the car "flat". The racing line is like an A or upside-down V in comparison to the geometric line. I often demonstrate the "flat car" outcome of trail-braking by (when possible) getting my clients to drive (usually a Mazda MX5) at a steady 30 mph on a long straight and without changing the speed, turn sharply. Then I get them to drive at 45-50 mph and start braking, then get them to turn sharply while they're still braking and see the difference it makes... which is: the car turns better with minimal roll (no nose-dive on one front corner). You can try it yourself, but please don’t do it on a track or test day, find an open space with no other cars around. It's a shame I can’t upload images here, or I could have uploaded a couple of diagrams.

Yes, he drives like Ricciardo, early on the brakes to to have slower entry for great rotation and on the throttle early as fuck

Maybe it is due to new aero regulations. When he is not heavy braking in the middle of the corner his floor is flatter, closer to what they have in the aero tunel. And he have less hot air (messy air flow) from the brakes. For sure his driving style changed and it seems to work over race distance.
