- Did you know that Formula 1 drivers steer their vehicles in an almost prone position, that they see almost nothing because of the steering wheel and need to make a number of seating compromises? Watch and see what the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver, Nico Rosberg, has to say about his workplace in the Silver Arrow.

They can barely see yet they an hit apex perfectly at 100+ mph consistently, wow that's impressive.
Yeah dude. This is what I am going crazy. They are having uber perfect laps over and over again without even seeing the road comfortably. Wtf.
@@muhammetkaya1257 because at 100kmh theyu can do the whole lap with their eyes closed. just look at raining races. they cant see corners but thet adapt from side signs and how well they know the track even if they cnt see
Nico is a natural about explaining everything f1 in front of the camera. No wonder he's enjoying TH-cam so much rn
It must be torture just having to sit and endure a whole race, imagine going airborne and then feeling the shock of landing like Lewis.
Torture for a normal person yes... Hence they train for this, it's still rough but yeh. :)
Imagine,that you must pee at the second lap
Apparently it’s quite exciting, according to Lewis in his Top Gear interview
TH-cam: 8 yrs ago. "HOLD" 5 Yrs ago. "HOLD." 3 Yrs ago. "HOLD" 2020: "NOW, Recommend this video to the masses!"
Mosler 🤣🤣🤣

The first time I saw F1 in action, I thought the driver were sitting cross-legged.
lmao
loool
Imagining that made me chuckle
Basically it's super uncomfortable.
To think they have to sit like that for hours.
These drivers are hell of a skilled people, make it look like easy
Is he serious? He can barely see where he is going?
This is a lot of work, coupled with talent! 🥰
@@MercedesBenz Talk about being active! Responding to a comment on a video thats 6 years old! Impressive
f1 drivers know the tracks so well, they almost could drive them blindfolded
@@MercedesBenz I hear that!!! Nico is one of my favourite race-car drivers oat!!! Maybe you(Mercedes - Benz) could ask if he would race again but if not I understand, the family etc. Hope all is well with you, Nico and your beautiful family!!! Cheers!!! 🇨🇦♥️Nico!!!
To be honest, these drivers can remember the tracks so well that they can literally drive blind... But of course, there are other cars and traffic to look after for..
I always wanted to be f1 driver
until now 🥵
😂
We all want , Maybe in the next life 🥳🌧️
@@yaqub3567 I hope I come back as a 11 time world champion 😂😂
@@trevorE11EVEN 😂💔
"Foam Is Heavy"
Okay, im not wearing any undergarments, to reduce weights
Finally! I always wonder how the driver sits. Glad to know it
I find it difficult to drive in daily traffic in my comfortable car and look at him, he is chilling doing 250+km/h in such a tiny space.
Congrats mercedes, now this video is on everybody's recommendation
This is one of the things why I love the Mercedes-Benz
Been watching a lot of racing videos lately as well as sitting positions and pedal & steering placement for sim racing so having this video pop up in my recommendations after 7 years isn't all that odd as it seems to be for a lot of others in the comments.
"...because foam is very heavy" ok bro👌
You don’t sound convinced
You would be surprised. The ultra light foams will not provide the support the driver needs. They are just too soft. It requires a dense foam that supplies some resistance. Some of the more dense foam pads I have installed weigh well over 10 pounds for a piece that is roughly 1.5 ft by 1 ft.
when you finally learn the truth that they are sleeping while driving at over 300kms
Crazy! It's seriously awesome. Compare this with the Online driving, and, no, not even possible. I am stunned by the talent of Hamilton and the others!
So this man is going in a corner with more than 100 with a steering wheel with lights shoved up his face? Respect
Those look comfortable. I’ll have to get one.
You know the car weights nothing when Nico says the foam is really heavy lol
Ok I see where Nico got the inspiration of being an vlogger now
This video is about to blow up
I miss this videos
you know every ounce counts when he says "because foam is very heavy"
Thank God for tin top racing.
While I admire the work that goes into driving these delicate machines I much prefer sitting upright when driving.
I'm surprised there's only 12 comments on a video with 66k views
MB had blocked comments
66k?
POV: You scrolled up to see if it's true
The more I delve into what it takes to be an F1 driver the more I realise just how talented these guys/girls are (yes I included Lance Stroll).
Imagine driving a car that can go 300 KPH, while laying down, having insanely limited vision and not to mention all the other cars driving around you.
Oh yeah and every second you drive is filmed and recorded by computers so it can be scrutinized by your team, the ever growing media AND us second guessing, mostly no nothing, fans.
8 years later, it still is a significant fact.
Watching Kimi fall asleep in his car last year makes this video so much better for some reason.
This is the first time I liked Nico Rosberg talking :-D
I guess this makes rally driving look a lot more confortable. 🤣
good documentation ……..
Let me guess....
You didn't search for this. TH-cam recommend it to you 7 years after upload
Today is this videos 8th birthday. Happy birthday video that got recommended by youtube to me today. How lucky for me lol 😂😂
A love from Benz
Good job!!!
8 years later TH-cam is recommending it to me
Why is this not more viewed?
I dont know xD
The position is weirdo
Weight management is such and issue in F1 cas that FOAM is referred to as "heavy"
Watching nico after his retirement and introduced by his vlogs
This is a kind of explanation we usually get from the teacher 😂
Hey Nico. Why are new tyres so shiny?
I hope one day the seat will be a bit more upright and that the drivers could actually see side way a bit more for safety reason both way would be difficult to achieve
8 years later in reccomended see ya again for few years when yt reccomend it again
Better late than never!
I think I'd DIE of anxiety driving like that... wow! Had no idea they weren't able to see that much...
Waiting for 7 years for recommendation
Why isn't the clothing padded with air chambers or a vacuum seat?
Well i just selected by youtube for watching this 8 years ago video so be thankfull merc, send me your c class
How do you see were you go?
Imagine having a spider inside the leg room 👀
👀
still can’t believe he was retired
Wow nico in mecadis thats a long time ago
Gold ♥️
Foam is heavy?
It is in an F1 car
In F1, every gram matters
It’s Formula 1. Every gram counts.
Harish Gireesan in terms of F1, it is heavy: the team want to make it as light as possible
Harish Gireesan for an f1 car
Very comfortable.
This guy is good talker. He should start TH-cam channel
Watching in JuLy 2020 and i must say, Nico looks exactly like Lando Norris
Did i just hear him say....foam is heavy? Lol! Yep, i replayed it!
High density foam is heavy. The foam you see in your everyday life cannot support them
Love from Mercedes Benz
Did he mention where the throttle and brakes are?
"Foam is very heavy"
First time in my life I hear that
..foam is heavy!
O M GGGG
I LOVE YOU MERCEDES BENZ
2013 Nico and 2016 Nico is a diffrent beast
Hey Admin,
How are you?
Love that you reply even to comments in a 8 year old Video.. 😅
Grande Nico
History.
why is this in my recommended 12 years later?
2 am me trying to feel how f1 car seat feels like in my bed
welcome on another episode of: "why in my reccomandation"
Back when the halo wasn't there to further decrease visibility
weight ratio is not considered by normal people......but in racing, cargo, aerospace, etc.........even .0000001 kgs can also make huge difference 🙌
And when you using your wheel in 4 directions it must be even harder:)))))
banned for next year... and well lets face it, they won't be getting many races in this year it looks like.
Good bloke!
what if you feel itchy in your feet?
Why recommend this in 2020 😂😂 I just saw nico around a Mercedes logo and was infuriated until i saw the date. Oh well!
Upspeak is real in this video?
Parabéns por suas atitudes na Mercedes.
This shows how good is the Black Arrows looking in 2020...
Ya
To sit passenger in that car for one lap Must be amazing..
