My guy, 72 bpm is the average heart rate at rest. For a moderately intense exercise, the average young male heart rate is between 134-152 bpm. Which is a much better comparison as F1 drivers clearly aren't at rest
exactly, at the highest levels of an esport, most players are between 150-170 ms. But that's just mouse move speed. F1 drivers have to be able to react their entire body in that time, which is significantly faster than most esports players

Oh and also about a normal person losing consciousness at 5-6 gs, a normal person loses consciousness at 5-6 g’s downwards because the blood leaves the brain, while in a formula 1 car it is horizontal g’s. Garbage content again
You are wrong about consciousness and Gs. Formula 1 drivers experience lateral Gs, not vertical (which are fighter pilot Gs). Therefore they never loose blood going from their head to their feet, which is what causes G induced Loss of Consciousness (G-Loc) in fighter pilots. There is no such thing as G-LOC for F1 drivers.
Then explain the spinning chair they put potential fighter pilots to test their G force limits that does nothing but spin (lateral Gs) and causes them to lose consciousness. Your "theory" is seriously flawed.
The actual cause is the amount of Gs. F1 is like 5ish at most i believe. A boeing 747 lost control and entered a nose dive over the pacific and the pilots pulled it out of a dive causing a 5.2 G load. It bent the wings downward and broke off the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer but they eventually landed safely in almost one piece. There were no reports of anyone losing consciousness and that was pure vertical Gs. Fighter pilots deal with G loads around 9 briefly. Which is the threshold for human tolerance in regards to consciousness. Sustained Gs of 6 would be fatal.

Nah. Most average drivers would struggle to get off the line, stalling because the revs required to get an F1 car moving are close to where normal cars redline. And if they were able to keep their foot in and do a proper race start, they'd struggle to keep their eyeline on the road as the massive acceleration G force pushes their head back. F1 cars are finely engineered, automotive savagery.
@@chrischan7648 I don't think they are drag racing out the gate, sure its heavy throttle but if they were doing as you say they would be peeling out. especially considering the clutch bite point. as well as anti-stalling. its just a super high powered manual not this machine that refuses to move without 9k rpms put into the engine. how else do you think they move these cars? the older models yes had no reverse so they had neutrals to be pushed backwards. by no means is that going to mean low rpm doesn't move the wheels. the average person wouldn't drive the F1 car like a pro would. that's your fatal misunderstanding.

@CheardDaCuber and why I can't ? Everyone can train for this and they start training their necks seriously when they reach one seater level, because in karting, there aren't much g forces like formulas, so they don't need it
You can say that for any sport. Two people can be born at the same time and trained for any sport, exactly the same way and one will always be better than the other. People's potentials differ. Achieving that potential is based on nurturing and that is down to luck. Can't control the environment you're born into
I don't consider it a sport since it uses a machine and not your body to do something. Yes you need physical power, but it's only to operate something. I don't get why they develop such things. But companies just want bragging rights I guess.
An healthy young adult's hart rate when just not verry active should indeed be between 60-80 bpm, but an healthy young adult should also be able to handle 170+ bpm for a long time
Of course! 170bpm is not even high for a trained athelete. The trained TH-cam commenter might never reach these numbers, but that doesn't mean it's extraordinary or unhealthy.
As a pro-am TH-cam commenter, I once reached 182bpm during a particularly intense trolling session. Coach has me doing more cardio to train for nationals 😅
At my healthiest, when I ran mid distance track in college my resting heart rate was below 40. The healthiest hearts are strong and don't need to beat as fast.
8 years of organized racing experience, combat training, weight training. The only thing keeping me out of a formula car is not having a rich daddy to fund the career like most drivers we currently see.
You can’t black out from lateral g force as the brain still gets blood and oxygen, it’s positive vertical G force which overwhelmed the hearts ability to pump to the brain and causes the black out
You are correct sir! Qualifier: I worked on fighter aircraft anti-g systems. Pilots only risk g-loc (g induced loss of consciousness) from blood flowing downward toward their feet from their brain). Anti-G systems activate when the aircraft experiences a positive g maneuver filling air bladders in their legs forcing blood back up to toward their noggins. They also must do a core/breathing maneuver to assist in forcing blood from the torso upward but that’s for a fighter pilot to explain. The only scenario formula 1 drivers would need an anti g suit system would be if the track has an inverted loop where the car would go upside down (pushing their butt downward into the seat) like a hot wheels track and even then they would have to exceed 3Gs (positive, not lateral Gs) to need it. Roller coasters are design limited to around 3G for public safety. USAF has performed human physiological limits on high speed rocket test tracks and (iirc, this is outside my expertise) they experienced 50Gs of forward lateral acceleration without passing out. They rapidly decel’d them as well but I don’t think it was near as high but had no issues. The aircraft anti g system DOES NOT activate during lateral acceleration or deceleration!
Question elaborating on lateral g forces, out of curiosity: While turning sharply, lateral g forces acting on the head would logically be at their highest. It's probably safe to assume that due to such g forces, one part of the brain is being momentarily deprived of blood, yeah? I feel like that'd have some effect on the driver, though probably small given how short of a time window it is

If you have finally reached a stage where you HAVE BEEN ALLOWED to drive an F1 car, you are also in a physical shape to do so. You also crawl before learning to walk. You also don't join a rally club today and drive the WRC tomorrow. In addition, there are a number of licenses that you MUST have in order to even drive on the track
Had to google what Nascar is as that is just not a thing outside of the US, seems neat. I would like to throw in Rally races in there, high speeds and generally rougher roads will beat you up. The amount of air those airs can catch can be pretty insane. Oh, and then there are the spectators who will stand right next to the road at risk of being hit if the car goes off track and it is just this accepted risk.
If you're wondering how a 140lb F1 driver can put 220lbs on the brake pedal it's because under 6g braking he "weighs" 820lbs! What's really amazing is the finesse and precise control they have while doing all this.
@@RLstavista Yes and power brakes reduces brake feel and sensitivity, which is probably at least as big of a problem as weight. Lewis Hamilton once said he could feel the skin of the tires (a telling choice of words) like it was his own skin.
Where did you figure that? Several racers have come from normal backgrounds and started with go karts, which you can build yourself for less that 500 dollars, which is an investment but worth it if you want to compete
I remember a time that the physical needs of racing werent well known. NASCAR was a prime target for people saying racing isnt a sport because its easy to drive in circles. The demands of a race car driver in any race are insane. You have to be in peak physical shape and health to do well consistently
Non of the F1 drivers could beat Rodger Federer or Usain, Bolt, Mike Tyson ect. it’s a gift for people to excel in certain disciplines and if you’re given that gift, train and work at it from being young and you maybe will succeed
The normal heart rate for a male is not 72 unless he’s elderly. A resting HR for an endurance athlete might be in the 40s with a maximum heart rate over 180.
There’s no need to overhype it or make Formula 1 drivers seem like something extraordinary. These are people who’ve been racing since they were young, and their development is just a natural progression within that environment.
This is half true half false. No F2 driver is prepared for the physical requirements that F1 brings. It’s in a completely different level and why it takes rookies time to acclimate and train body stamina and strength like hell.
Average reaction time is 250ms, the only reason the average reaction time of an F1 driver is slightly quicker is because the average F1 driver is young. Reaction time deteriorates with older people.
This video is very misleading and inaccurate in many ways. Average reaction times are around 2-3 tenths of a second for F1 drivers and regular people. F1 drivers just train to get it consistently in the lower range. The cockpit can reach around 50C, the turbo and engine is what can get to 800C. Weight loss in a race is true. They do maintain a heart rate of around 170bpm for the whole race however comparing that to the average RESTING heart rate is very misleading. Top level marathon runners also maintain around 170bpm. The cars have never reached 6G. People pass out with roughly 7G of DOWNWARDS g force. F1 drivers experience lateral and fore/aft G force which effects the brain differently. Pushing the blood from one side of the brain to the other rather than down out of the head completely to result in unconsciousness. Brake force does often hover around 100kg of peak force. However they are not pushing that hard every time they brake. Only in the biggest deceleration zones and then they are quickly lowering from that initial peak force as the speed and downforce reduce.
@@Holeindalip That's not that dramatic when you consider the force is acting in the sagital plane with the drivers practically laying down and they all have the HANS device. Training your neck to withstand the stress is not that hard. A few months and you're there.
If you trained enough, you could. There’s a reason why these guys can drive so well. They practice and train all they can. If you put in the devotion that these guys have you could, however, the main reason why you still couldn’t is because you’re poor.
Imagine the congitice function required to handle all that for 90 minutes where every second counts, every decision counts, every meneuver counts, every shift counts, every rotation of the wheel counts, you need to constantly keep looking at several things at once, utilizing all the buttons of the steering wheel, then the physical demand. That sounds like torture
A shifter cart taught me all I needed to know. I was good but not as good as I thought. An F1 driver would have finished the day then gone to run a 10k and did his fitness weight program before dinner.
For all those who's wondering... The reason their reaction time is faster is because their eyes are adjusted to high speeds. In simple words their eyes along with astronauts have a higher frame rate than ours due to extensive speed training and experience... You can also train your eyes this way.
Saw a reply elsewhere but wanted to give it more visibility. Lateral G’s do NOT cause loss of consciousness. The numbers mentioned in the video would cause g-loc for VERTICAL G’s, but no one should be passing out in an F1 car due to G’s.
The thing that makes it more difficult is that after conquering all the physical limits still a single mistake ruins your race is the most pissing thing 😂

You could drive it...until the first corner😂
Nah. Most average drivers would struggle to get off the line, stalling because the revs required to get an F1 car moving are close to where normal cars redline. And if they were able to keep their foot in and do a proper race start, they'd struggle to keep their eyeline on the road as the massive acceleration G force pushes their head back.
F1 cars are finely engineered, automotive savagery.
They don’t start out the pit box at full throttle.
@zacharyradford5552 Oh sorry, I didn't realise we were talking about doing laps of the pits...
@@chrischan7648 I don't think they are drag racing out the gate, sure its heavy throttle but if they were doing as you say they would be peeling out. especially considering the clutch bite point. as well as anti-stalling. its just a super high powered manual not this machine that refuses to move without 9k rpms put into the engine. how else do you think they move these cars? the older models yes had no reverse so they had neutrals to be pushed backwards. by no means is that going to mean low rpm doesn't move the wheels. the average person wouldn't drive the F1 car like a pro would. that's your fatal misunderstanding.

You can say that for any sport. Two people can be born at the same time and trained for any sport, exactly the same way and one will always be better than the other. People's potentials differ.

You can’t black out from lateral g force as the brain still gets blood and oxygen, it’s positive vertical G force which overwhelmed the hearts ability to pump to the brain and causes the black out
You are correct sir! Qualifier: I worked on fighter aircraft anti-g systems. Pilots only risk g-loc (g induced loss of consciousness) from blood flowing downward toward their feet from their brain). Anti-G systems activate when the aircraft experiences a positive g maneuver filling air bladders in their legs forcing blood back up to toward their noggins. They also must do a core/breathing maneuver to assist in forcing blood from the torso upward but that’s for a fighter pilot to explain. The only scenario formula 1 drivers would need an anti g suit system would be if the track has an inverted loop where the car would go upside down (pushing their butt downward into the seat) like a hot wheels track and even then they would have to exceed 3Gs (positive, not lateral Gs) to need it. Roller coasters are design limited to around 3G for public safety. USAF has performed human physiological limits on high speed rocket test tracks and (iirc, this is outside my expertise) they experienced 50Gs of forward lateral acceleration without passing out. They rapidly decel’d them as well but I don’t think it was near as high but had no issues. The aircraft anti g system DOES NOT activate during lateral acceleration or deceleration!
interesting point, thanks
Question elaborating on lateral g forces, out of curiosity:
While turning sharply, lateral g forces acting on the head would logically be at their highest. It's probably safe to assume that due to such g forces, one part of the brain is being momentarily deprived of blood, yeah? I feel like that'd have some effect on the driver, though probably small given how short of a time window it is
Bijan Robinson played like a top 3 RB in the league.Darnell Mooney made huge splash plays.Jessie Bates lll broke up a touchdown against Devonta Smith, made the game sealing interception.Kirk Cousins played composed all game.
If you have finally reached a stage where you HAVE BEEN ALLOWED to drive an F1 car, you are also in a physical shape to do so. You also crawl before learning to walk. You also don't join a rally club today and drive the WRC tomorrow. In addition, there are a number of licenses that you MUST have in order to even drive on the track
Having a hard time believing f1 drivers are being boiled alive
Yeah its just 50°C, but still in a fire protection suit, and with the g forces, and they sit there around 70mins
F1 drivers are running a foot race. Nascar drivers are running a marathon. People have no idea how physically taxing racing is
Had to google what Nascar is as that is just not a thing outside of the US, seems neat.
I would like to throw in Rally races in there, high speeds and generally rougher roads will beat you up. The amount of air those airs can catch can be pretty insane. Oh, and then there are the spectators who will stand right next to the road at risk of being hit if the car goes off track and it is just this accepted risk.
If high barrier to entry was a person
The physical part is huge, maintaining concentration with accuracy compounds the experience.
I know I cannot do it, I sure do love to watch it though.
*'THROUGH GOES HAMILTON 🗣🗣🔥🔥'*
In the back caught me off guard
If you're wondering how a 140lb F1 driver can put 220lbs on the brake pedal it's because under 6g braking he "weighs" 820lbs! What's really amazing is the finesse and precise control they have while doing all this.
So the tough part is to stop braking...lol...
If you are trying to show of Good Will Hunting, maybe you should first finish primary school and math, where 6x140=/ 820 but 840 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And I'm guessing they don't use master cylinder boosters etc is to help further reduce weight?
@@RLstavista Yes and power brakes reduces brake feel and sensitivity, which is probably at least as big of a problem as weight. Lewis Hamilton once said he could feel the skin of the tires (a telling choice of words) like it was his own skin.
He doesnt move in is seat. But 100 kg is no problem for a man. Also its the max force at maximum speed, not at every breaking point.
If humans had 0.8 sec reaction time we would experience lag irl.
Average reaction time of a human being is 250 milliseconds not 800 lol...
It’s the same as any competitive sport, it takes thousands of dollars, time, and skill to be a pro in any sport
You also need to be a multi millionaire just to compete in F1.
Where did you figure that? Several racers have come from normal backgrounds and started with go karts, which you can build yourself for less that 500 dollars, which is an investment but worth it if you want to compete
Lewis Hamilton grew up working class.
Most of the drivers come from wealthy families but there are exceptions such as Lewis Hamilton.
No you dont
Even Karting as youth takes an insane amount of money. $$ is the main barrier to motorsport
F1 marketing team did a really good job promoting these few years. So much F1 content pops up out of nowhere.
90 minutes of perfection under these conditions truly is wild.
Wait until they find about fighter jet pilots 👀👀
All that and Tony Stark in Iron Man 2 was like; "Imma drive one just for the fun of it"
He probably pull some crazy Gs when flying at high speed in his suit.
He didn’t drive in F1 but rather the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco
I remember a time that the physical needs of racing werent well known. NASCAR was a prime target for people saying racing isnt a sport because its easy to drive in circles. The demands of a race car driver in any race are insane. You have to be in peak physical shape and health to do well consistently
They really need to put aircon in these vehicles
Nah, way too much weight and very little benefit. Plus, where would you even put such a system?
I take it back driving at this level is a sport respect.
A 0.8 second reaction is way below average
That Monaco tunnel dodge is still the craziest reaction I’ve ever seen
u should see my over reaction time tho
Not to mention you are driving an open-wheel 1000hp light weight rear wheel drive car with no traction controls at extreme speeds
Non of the F1 drivers could beat Rodger Federer or Usain, Bolt, Mike Tyson ect. it’s a gift for people to excel in certain disciplines and if you’re given that gift, train and work at it from being young and you maybe will succeed
That was very informative,nice one.
The normal heart rate for a male is not 72 unless he’s elderly. A resting HR for an endurance athlete might be in the 40s with a maximum heart rate over 180.
Yeah and average reaction time for regular people is also much faster than 0.8 seconds. People on shorts just pull statistics from their ass lmao
There’s no need to overhype it or make Formula 1 drivers seem like something extraordinary. These are people who’ve been racing since they were young, and their development is just a natural progression within that environment.
This is half true half false. No F2 driver is prepared for the physical requirements that F1 brings. It’s in a completely different level and why it takes rookies time to acclimate and train body stamina and strength like hell.
I could do it. If those entitled rich kids can do it , so can I. I can also tear it down and repair it. Bet they can't do that.
you would be slow as hell and be disqualified from the race...
Average reaction time is 250ms, the only reason the average reaction time of an F1 driver is slightly quicker is because the average F1 driver is young. Reaction time deteriorates with older people.
and they say "F1 is not a sport"
The average reaction time if a human IS NOT 800ms bro😭 it’s 250-300 ms
This video is very misleading and inaccurate in many ways.
Average reaction times are around 2-3 tenths of a second for F1 drivers and regular people. F1 drivers just train to get it consistently in the lower range. The cockpit can reach around 50C, the turbo and engine is what can get to 800C. Weight loss in a race is true. They do maintain a heart rate of around 170bpm for the whole race however comparing that to the average RESTING heart rate is very misleading. Top level marathon runners also maintain around 170bpm. The cars have never reached 6G. People pass out with roughly 7G of DOWNWARDS g force. F1 drivers experience lateral and fore/aft G force which effects the brain differently. Pushing the blood from one side of the brain to the other rather than down out of the head completely to result in unconsciousness. Brake force does often hover around 100kg of peak force. However they are not pushing that hard every time they brake. Only in the biggest deceleration zones and then they are quickly lowering from that initial peak force as the speed and downforce reduce.
They can reach 6g under braking…
@@Holeindalip That's not that dramatic when you consider the force is acting in the sagital plane with the drivers practically laying down and they all have the HANS device. Training your neck to withstand the stress is not that hard. A few months and you're there.
The brake pedal is assisted by the driver body inertia so it's not like he's using only his muscles to press it.
Kilograms are a unit of mass, not force.
uhhhh, you can ? he just says 5-6g is the equivalent of 25-45 kg pulling your head
nope kilograms of force.
If you trained enough, you could. There’s a reason why these guys can drive so well. They practice and train all they can. If you put in the devotion that these guys have you could, however, the main reason why you still couldn’t is because you’re poor.
Average human reaction time is 0.25 seconds while F1 drivers typically start 0.2 seconds after the light.
Imagine the congitice function required to handle all that for 90 minutes where every second counts, every decision counts, every meneuver counts, every shift counts, every rotation of the wheel counts, you need to constantly keep looking at several things at once, utilizing all the buttons of the steering wheel, then the physical demand.
That sounds like torture
That’s insane…gives a new respect to those who do this.
Wow . I didn't know F1 required so much physical training. These drivers are amazing.
A shifter cart taught me all I needed to know. I was good but not as good as I thought. An F1 driver would have finished the day then gone to run a 10k and did his fitness weight program before dinner.
Basically its a expensive mobile gym and u r training for a Kung fu fight
Dont worry, plenty of dudes think they can fight bears and kangaroos and walk away victorious...
160 bpm is my average heart rate during cycling
For all those who's wondering... The reason their reaction time is faster is because their eyes are adjusted to high speeds. In simple words their eyes along with astronauts have a higher frame rate than ours due to extensive speed training and experience... You can also train your eyes this way.
Man of all my 34 years I have never known this! Formula 1 drivers have my respect for reals!
Saw a reply elsewhere but wanted to give it more visibility. Lateral G’s do NOT cause loss of consciousness. The numbers mentioned in the video would cause g-loc for VERTICAL G’s, but no one should be passing out in an F1 car due to G’s.
Bet they need a 4 hour google search to figure out how to properly drive a nail in the wall.
Anyone CAN drive a F1 car until it reaches the first corner, change my mind
The median reaction time is 273 milliseconds. The average reaction time is 284 milliseconds.
172 beats per minute damn. Any one with the slightest heart condition would probably have a heart attack
FNG is not an average person, he has the longest running knee injury ever
As a 13 yrs old retired F1 driver, I absolutely 100% agree with you.
Lol amateur f1 driver 😂😂😂...
You gave me zero reasons why I couldn't drive an F1 car, but plenty on why I'd never want to in the first place.
Correction, I could drive it slowly...
This had a few tall tales but mostly accurate.
The thing that makes it more difficult is that after conquering all the physical limits still a single mistake ruins your race is the most pissing thing 😂
