for driving the cars the most difficult part is the G forces your body goes through while braking and turning while braking your head would feel like its being pushed forward causing you to look down. Also, the brake pedal on f1 cars is incredibly heavy where without the G forces throwing you forward, pressing it would be almost impossible for a regular person the steering is powered in f1 so the brake pedal is really the only physically difficult part of the car to operate other than the heat and forces caused from driving at high speed.
The finnish driver Valteri Bottas has the fastest recorded speed for F1 cars, at just about 378 km/h (235 mph), set in qualifying in Baku in 2016. Averige speed though is like 210 - 220 mph.🥴
@13:27 driving in F1 is so much more physical, Especially because of the G-forces averaging around 4 Gs and reaching beyond 5Gs many times on a track. This means the driver's body, necks have to hold their body and heads weighting almost 4-5 times the weight laterally... multiple times within a lap, in each race with around 50 laps, for 2 hours continuously. Also, the temperatures in the cockpit, physical strain is immense leading to a loss of 2 kgs of weight for drivers during the race causing huge amounts of dehydration.. which they compensate by having a drinks bottle onboard to hydrate themselves. The brakes in F1 are so much harder than normal cars that the maximum brake force normal people can apply with their legs amounts for 40-50% of brake force required in F1 and F1 drivers brake around 20 times each lap reaching almost full brake force, that too with a sensitivity of controlling the brake pressure according to the turn and grip dynamically at various levels of brake force which requires both immense strength and finesse. Because F1 cars don't have ABS. Same level of sensitivity and finesse goes into the throttle pedaling. The steering input is also needs to be very smooth, even in those extreme conditions to maintain stable platform of the car without unsettling it that can result in loss if full grip. Also, maintaining the car in optimal gears all the time, which becomes like a second nature, but not according to the speed (like in road cars), but according to maximizing the tyre grip and minimising wheel spin at times, and this gear change happens almost 100 times in each lap (total 50 laps on average). And alongside, immense mental capacity is required in F1, for doing multiple changed to the settings of the car such as brake balance, brake migration, engine power, fuel consumption, etc, in the car WHILE driving at 200 mph, sometimes multiple times within a lap depending on the type of turns the are facing... In different tracks. The mental capacity of constantly monitoring the feel of the car and track suface, grip, through tacticle feedback from their own body through their seats, so as to adjust throttle, braking, timing, racing lines, tyre grip, tyre degradation, maintaining the tyre and brake temperatures, and maintaining, battery levels and recharging, deploying electrical energy, etc, to optimise their driving for achieving maximum pace and minimum tyre wear. At the same time, they also need to take on the fly decisions which are crucial, such as pit strategies, tyre preservation strategies, and thinking things ahead of time, and planning ahead.. even considering the competitor drivers, cars and their strategies.. all the while metronimically, driving they car at the limit of the grip, while maintaining the tyre and brake temperatures, minimising tyre wear and maximizing the pace, using optimal settings dynamically for different turns, and also maintaining battery levels, recharging it optimally and deploying battery to extract maximum performance from the car... all of this while traveling at 200 mph on a twisty track handling 4-5Gs of Gforces and high temperatures and dehydration. *This is just surface level description of what F1 drivers face during a race... I didn't go too deep into other aspects of Racing such as racing lines, race craft, attacking, defending strategies, mindgames between drivers, setting up overtakes and studying other driver's driving style and race lines, and racing them accordingly, conversing with race engineer and optimising strategies or giving them crucial inputs that they can use to optimise strategies, etc.. Basically playing a 5D chess game in a high stress adrenaline filed state for constant 2 hours with hyper focus, with split second decisions and inputs to the car, acting on instinct, but still observing everything around and think beyond what they are doing, as well as handling and managing their machinery at optimal conditions and driving at the same time to the limits of physics, using multiple tools at their disposal as well as their own skills, instinct and intelligence, to maximize the result. Their body and brain are in overdrive for continuous 2 hours in each race, with full focus throughout, especially in rain/wet races, where even split second lapse in focus can put anyone in the wall as they can lose control just like that, and car snaps so quickly, that even cats can't respond quickly to correct it, but F1 drivers did correct with cat like responses many times, which is insane..
@@Venezuelan_Girl Very good and accurate text. Not to forget the pure focus, that needs immense amounts of energy, since you almost wanna cry in your simulator when getting the message "only 5 laps left", after you've completed nr 7 on the absolute limit. PPL doing Biathlon are talking about being able to focus 100% for max 0.2 sec until it hurts, and i consistently catch myself building up the focus again and again in long braking zones until it physchosomatically hurts to think at steerin in.
3:46 I remember watching this live on TV. I was watching F1 for 2 years at that point and it was the biggest crash I've seen. I was terrified for him, luckily he was okay 10:36 I was so furious with the team here. He was fighting for the title and they made a costly mistake. He would have won the race but only finished P2 and lost 8 points, which then lost the title by 7-8 points.
The thing you asked about the physicality is quite a thing, these cars don’t have any help in the cars, the brakes are really hard. You can drive a reduced power version of a f1 car after some training but most people tend to not even hit 30-40 procent of stoppage power, while the drivers do like 80 in sharp turns and 40 is something for maybe like a mid speed corner
"Can a regular person drive a real F1 car?" on yt! I highly recommend to watch this vid to get what it is like to drive an F1 for a (normal) human, then you might not get why they doon't all have cramps, but still can stand on a podium after 70 laps - it's so brutally insane for someone like me, who just knows Karts, Simulators and Group N Rally cars and what it means to drive on the limit for just a third of the time in these "toys", then wants to die for 2 days because of muscle pain and back/neck issues, while my knee is about to jump out^^
The race where many cars went off at the same corner was because of the extreme weather, they all went off within a few seconds of each other so of course they don't just leave the race to go on if that happens, there would be a red flag.
try watching rally. Like group B era WRC, late group A era WRC, the utter domination of Sebastien Loeb with 9 WRC titles in a ROW. Also modern WRC is interesting.
Great reaction video, as a fan to a new fan I recommend you to watch/react to the drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and etc. Also there are a lot of videos in the F1 channel that are very good aswell.
greetings and love from Germany. Good reaction. What was bothersome for me, however, was the audio tuning of the F1- video and your microphone. Whenever you spoke at the same time as the video commentator, I could hardly understand either of you properly. It was not comfortable to listen to......just a little hint. Have a peaceful start in a new week, my dear....& Stay safe... 🌈💚🐶
Forse è meglio che te lo scrivo in italiano e poi lo traduci. Ci vuole tantissima forza fisica per guidare le monoposto di F1 moderne, anche più del passato. Attualmente per poter frenare i piloti devono applicare circa 170kg di forza sul pedale dei freni. Anche il volante nelle curve veloci diventa durissimo, è un po' come dover sollevare dei pesi ad ogni curva. La difficoltà maggiore però è dovuta ai G laterali che il corpo e soprattutto il collo devono subire nelle curve veloci. I muscoli del collo devono essere molto allenati. E poi soprattutto il fisico deve resistere agli impatti degli incidenti. Li a volte si raggiungono forse G disumane. Ad esempio Grosjean in un terribile incidente dove la vettura esplose e si distrusse incastrandosi nelle barriere raggiunse una forza G di 67. G 67 significa che ha sentito il peso del suo corpo moltiplicarsi per 67 volte. I piloti di F1 sono degli atleti. Molti pensano che basta saper guidare e che non è un vero sport. Invece sono dei grandi atleti e si allenano molte ore al giorno.

You should hear Ayrton Senna scream into his radio with joy after he won his home race back in 1991. One of the most iconic moments in F1 history.
ayrton senna was so amazing, a true icon

Last yr it was between 5&6 G
@@Jasongilliar true. I just gave conservative estimates. But last year and in 2020, the G-forces were in the range of 5-6Gs
@@Jasongilliar Aero gets more and more restricted, while the mechanical grip increases, bcause 5-6 g gor 2h is the absolute limit for humans.
2:38 is not Formula 1. It's Formula 3 (junior series, much slower cars)

Brilliant post😀I am mad for F1...the greatest quote is "you want to make a small fortune in F1, start with a big one"
Sebastian Buemi's is to this day probably one of the weirdest things to ever happen in a race xD
Practice session 😝
Jenson Button, Canadian GP, the greatest drive ever!

May I suggest you react to Pastor Maldonado's F1 moments (your fellow former Venezuelan driver).
Great reaction video, as a fan to a new fan I recommend you to watch/react to the drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and etc. Also there are a lot of videos in the F1 channel that are very good aswell.
thanks!
Can you do a reaction to: the grojean crash, please?
you should look into niki lauda
That's weard there was no Grosean fireball...
You need to watch ''That Night in Abu Dhabi - Formula 1 Short film''

why your view so big and f1 moments so small😂
What's with the thumbnail? That's just silly
React to max Verstappen best moments
