- 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
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 😂💔
Basically it's super uncomfortable.
To think they have to sit like that for hours.
Finally! I always wonder how the driver sits. Glad to know it
"Foam Is Heavy"
Okay, im not wearing any undergarments, to reduce weights
These drivers are hell of a skilled people, make it look like easy
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.
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..
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!
Congrats mercedes, now this video is on everybody's recommendation
This is one of the things why I love the Mercedes-Benz
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.
You know the car weights nothing when Nico says the foam is really heavy lol
Those look comfortable. I’ll have to get one.
"...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.
So this man is going in a corner with more than 100 with a steering wheel with lights shoved up his face? Respect
when you finally learn the truth that they are sleeping while driving at over 300kms
This video is about to blow up
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.
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.
Ok I see where Nico got the inspiration of being an vlogger now
Watching Kimi fall asleep in his car last year makes this video so much better for some reason.
I miss this videos
A love from Benz
you know every ounce counts when he says "because foam is very heavy"
This is the first time I liked Nico Rosberg talking :-D
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
Good job!!!
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 😂😂
8 years later, it still is a significant fact.
I guess this makes rally driving look a lot more confortable. 🤣
This is a kind of explanation we usually get from the teacher 😂
good documentation ……..
2 am me trying to feel how f1 car seat feels like in my bed
Weight management is such and issue in F1 cas that FOAM is referred to as "heavy"
I think I'd DIE of anxiety driving like that... wow! Had no idea they weren't able to see that much...
Watching nico after his retirement and introduced by his vlogs
Well i just selected by youtube for watching this 8 years ago video so be thankfull merc, send me your c class
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 TH-cam is recommending it to me
8 years later in reccomended see ya again for few years when yt reccomend it again
Better late than never!
Gold ♥️
Watching in JuLy 2020 and i must say, Nico looks exactly like Lando Norris
Why is this not more viewed?
I dont know xD
The position is weirdo
Love from Mercedes Benz
Waiting for 7 years for recommendation
First time in my life I hear that
..foam is heavy!
O M GGGG
I LOVE YOU MERCEDES BENZ
This guy is good talker. He should start TH-cam channel
Wow nico in mecadis thats a long time ago
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.. 😅
How do you see were you go?
Very comfortable.
still can’t believe he was retired
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
What!! Mercedes still gives hearts to comments even to this day!!??
Good bloke!
Imagine having a spider inside the leg room 👀
👀
weight ratio is not considered by normal people......but in racing, cargo, aerospace, etc.........even .0000001 kgs can also make huge difference 🙌
Grande Nico
This shows how good is the Black Arrows looking in 2020...
Why recommend this in 2020 😂😂 I just saw nico around a Mercedes logo and was infuriated until i saw the date. Oh well!
History.

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
"Foam is very heavy"
Why isn't the clothing padded with air chambers or a vacuum seat?
That seat and car rocking you side by side ... I'll be asleep in mins
why is this in my recommended 12 years later?
That is fricken crazy
How they don't feel sleepy lying down like that is beyond me.
Imagine your legs falling asleep during a race
Ya
Back when the halo wasn't there to further decrease visibility
Did he mention where the throttle and brakes are?
Parabéns por suas atitudes na Mercedes.
To sit passenger in that car for one lap Must be amazing..
This is the guy in the Titanic!
Upspeak is real in this video?
nice
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.
In F1 Logic Foam Is heavy, now imagine a Piece of paper
Everyone is gangsta until they drive f1 without looking at the circuit 1:13
Nico, you should be a blogger. Oh wait.
It looks just like the seat in a sailplane!
great .......
insane position to be in for 2 hours
Is his seats career over????
He doesnt want to get back
nico retire after winning 2016 wdc
Minh Pham the comment I was looking for! Thank you for not disappointing me.
@@racetoria3069 i dont think you got the joke
@@kevicius i am unsure about if ypu got the joke
Imagine this 12 ply 60 years ago...
Now I know what happens when you pee in your seat especially if you are the reserve driver
Foam is heavy??
