What It Takes to Be an F1 Driver

Let’s see WHY Formula 1 is not just about driving, but in fact, one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports out there. We will touch on what the drivers experience during the race and how some of them prepare for those demands, in terms of cardio, strength and precision training.

Great video! These drivers are true athletes. If you watch them after races sometimes they don't look like they broke a sweat which is impressive. At 2023 Qatar GP though there were problems with tyres which basically means they have to keep changing them. That allows them to push 100% for almost every lap. Add to that extreme heat, and drivers were throwing up in helmet, fainting momentarily through corners, and most of them couldn't even pull themselves out of the car at the end of the race. One even had to retire from the event due to exhaustion. It's incredible how they can still operate and push themselves even at extreme situation.
