My INTRO to F1! 

Let me know if you're feelin' these types of videos. Click here for all my uncut videos if you're interested: www.patreon.com/maxbeaumont

You need to do a dedicated video on Kimi for sure!

3:11 that's Kimi Raikkonen (the absolute legend) I would definitely recommend checking him out because his personality is very unique (not to spoil to much)!! Oh and yes, he absolutely does not know the rules

Kimi and communication. A wild combination. 😜

That dude is a friggin legend. Legend i tell ya..the way he communicates with his team on the radio, co drivers, press etc..phenomenal! And he is former world champion as well. Daniel is the funny guy, lewis...yeah lewis is lewis, but he is one of the best to ever do the sport. Please react to lando and carlos bromance. And daniel and max bromance. Some of the drivers cant even feel their arms after a race. And they all have strong strong neck.

I feel like if you want to see more of the different F1 drivers and their more "relaxed" personalities, I definitely recommend some of the Grill The Grid challenges! They are challenges F1 does with most of the grid, which could allow you to find the personalities you're more curious about! Alex Albon is one of my favourite current F1 personalities, he doesn't really like media stuff but is hilarious!

Daniël Ricciardo is definitely a goofball! He entered the paddock today on a freaking horse called Horsey McHorse and was accompanied by a country artist for crying out loud, it was absolutely awesome🙌🏽😂

I remember Lewis once saying that driving in Singapore is like doing push-ups in a sauna, with a firefighter suit on. All of that two hours long being centimeters from the wall, where a loss of concentration can easily result in a big G-force crash.

The dude who doesn’t know anything the legend who just retired last year: Kimi Raikkonen. The second most experienced driver in history.

If you want to get a more funny side to Carlos you should definitely watch the video's he did with McLaren. I would recommend the milk challenge, snack wars or octoberfest video! Also a good opportunity to watch Lando Norris who is also really interesting to analyse.

All their different personalities reflect on their driving style as well, specially when they’re battling each other on track, it’s amazing to see

Finally you got to see more drivers. Its crazy how accurate you are with the drivers personalities since their not really doing anything but explaining f1. I really hope you check out Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen videos when they were together in F1 and of course Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris. Glad to see you seem to be enjoying these videos. 😄

Knowing the drivers personalities definitely makes the sport more interesting for sure! Highly recommend Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Räikkönen videos

Do a Kimi interview/Radio comms compilation reaction. He's a solid gem of a human being. Pure unintentional comedy genius. Fun fact: you thought he didn't know about the rules at all, but when he retired last year he was the oldest and most experienced driver on the grid. He's, I think, the only F1 driver who's raced in 3 different decades. Throughout his career he has lived through many different rule sets, and he was unsure about the points rewards in the latest rule set

3:11 Yes, that’s Kimi Räikkönen, he is a legend and you should do a video about him please! 🙏😃 And I think you should watch Grill the Grid videos too.

I would recommend the Formula 1 Rookie of the Year 2019 video for some fun banter between Russell, Albon and Norris (three guys who have been friends for over a decade). If you are interested in checking out some of the best bromances on the grid, I'd recommend searching: -Carlos Sainz/Lando Norris -Carlos Sainz/Charles Leclerc -George Rusell/Alex Albon/Lando Norris -Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen -Pierre Gasly/Yuki Tsunoda And if you are interested in checking out the individual drivers: -Max Verstappen (the prodigious but sometimes controversial driver) -Sergio Perez (the reason why Max won his first championship, very underrated) -Charles Leclerc (the poster child but always incredibly confused about everything lol) -George Russell (future World Champion. The type of guy that fans make 'the type of guy' memes about...look them up LOL) -Carlos Sainz (the smooth operator, Lando Norris' older brother/golf buddy, not afraid of acting silly) -Lando Norris (Carlos Sainz' muppet friend, the most contagious laugh, has 50 hobbies outside F1, Twitch streamer, awesome guy) -Lewis Hamilton (Legend. Still a bit of an outsider even after 7 titles, has his guard up but a lot funnier and relaxed than what people give him credit for) -Esteban Ocon (started from the bottom, used to be friends with Gasly, they had a huge fallout, now they are going to be teammates next season) -Fernando Alonso (Legend. Sarcastic to the max, has the best one-liners, he's like the uncle that's fun to be around but who you wouldn't trust your kids with) -Sebastian Vettel (Legend. Can't say enough good things about this man. An F1 nerd, super knowledgeable about rules/the sport, excellent sense of humor, the kindest dude on the grid, the responsible uncle that you would trust your kids with, cares about everyone, future FIA president hopefully) -Daniel Ricciardo (a character, a clown, hilarious, doesn't take himself too seriously but is very serious about racing, the best press conferences/interviews) -Pierre Gasly (the comeback kid, easygoing, fun dude, good sense of humor, takes good care of Yuki) -Yuki Tsunoda (protect him at all costs, only cares about food, even more lost and confused than Charles) -Alex Albon (hasn't had the best luck so far but is genuinely one of the nicest people on the grid, loves to give George crap about his topless Instagram pictures, Lando's hero) -Kimi Raikonen (Retired driver. Unbothered. Doesn't give a shit about anything outside of driving. Fans love his 'i don't care' attitude. I'm not too familiar with the other drivers.

About their athleticism - actually they don't really need a lot of forearm strength, since the cars do have power steering (unlike Indycar for example, where they do "fight" the steering wheel to turn it). They focus a lot of their training on things like the neck - since the high G-forces they experience mean their heads weigh a lot, and they need to keep them upright. Legs are also important, the pedals themselves are actually quite difficult to push. It's quite an intense sport, physically. They can lose a 6-8 pounds of weight over the course of the race (1.5 hours), due to sweating alone.

I think the extra point for fastest lap is nicer; it makes for even more competition. And to know that some championships in the past have been decided on one point, makes it very interesting. "That dude" is Kimi Raikonen, 2007 world champion and he's very popular. His nickname is The Iceman. :) But he quit 2 years ago at age 42. Daniel Ricciardo is from Australia. He's one of Max verstappen's best friends. They were also teammates for 2 years. All drivers workout, but not to gain too much muscles because they will be too heavy for the car. They mainly train to keep in shape and one thing they do train hard is their neck. Because in certain turns the G forces all come down on their neck. LJ

I’m also going to throw another name into the hat that I think you should react to! Lando Norris, definitely a fan favorite yet splits opinions with his personality, he’s a young driver that has definitely grown up during his 4 something years in f1. Is first teammate was Carlos sainz and their dynamic was really really good, I’d really like to see your take on their relationship. His second and current teammate is Daniel ricciardo and people really hyped up their potential dynamic and friendship before they got together because they were probably the funniest/goofiest characters on the grid, but any people were a bit let down in the beginning, seemingly now, it seems like they get along very well and has learned to be very good friends but that’s also a duo I’d like to see you analyze!

"That dude" is Kimi Raikonnen and don't let him fool you, lol. He's a legend.

yay you see more drivers! "that guy" is kimi räikkönen HAHAHA we love him, he's a legend of the sport. and about the understeer/oversteer preferences, the better drivers e.g. max, lewis, charles, carlos would much prefer oversteer actually, bc they can judge the car's reactions better and control any oversteer. an oversteery car is also a higher-performing car. it also depends on how oversteer or understeer you get.

So cool to see how outsiders view the sport, we're glad to have as many people as possible.

When there is really hard competition, like last year, you would see some mindgames in the practice sessions, but usually not. Practice is often used to find out what the best set-up is (for racing AND for qualifying) and how to approach the tyres. For instance, you could say that the last race was won by Max because of the practice sessions, because in the practice sessions on friday he and his team found out a way to make their tyres last longer in the race!

To answer your question about the point system at the end: Yes, the ones they earn in Grand Prix X will carry over into Grand Prix Y. After the end of the year, you have an end total of all races driven in the same year. For example: Charles got 3rd place last weekend in the US - no fastest lap - so he got 15 points that weekend. This is topped up on the points he already got in the other race weekends driven this season. I don't remember how many he has, but it's between 200 to 250 points right now. When a new season begins, everyone restarts from 0. That way, everyone mathematically starts the racing season on equal foot.

they are incredibly fit dudes! they have to be as light as possible, while also being super strong to be able to put up with the G's that the speed of the car creates. Their necks is a part which needs to be very strong, as its not supported in the car, so the training they do for that is crazy. Their personalities is what got me interested in the sport, and the competition kept me around! So many components which are entertaining and fun, i think you will love it!! You should definitely watch more grill the grid episodes, they are a great way to see a lot of drivers from the grid in one video!

A big part of the strength f1 drivers need is actually in their necks! As the car turns, their bodies want to keep going straight and the neck takes a large part of those immense g forces. Daniel Ric mentioned once that most don't notice but once you know, you'll see that all the drivers have quite big necks. Because (as little as possible) weight is important for the speed of the car but strength is needed to drive them, the drivers have intense and very specific diets and training routines- also because they can lose up to 5 kilos (Lewis at least) in one race due to immense sweating

There is an amazing documentary on Netflix about one of the biggest legends of F1, Ayrton Senna. It's called Senna. Even people who have never seen F1 love it. I recommend it. It's a really good documentary. He is the biggest idol and inspiration of Lewis Hamilton and he was a incredible pilot and person.

I love these videos so much! Its great seeing you be interested in something I'm so passionate about

Max, you're on a roll with F1 content and I love it! Thanks for your work♥

Sport are definetly very interesting from a psychological point of view, especially F1 tho, because if youre not mentally up to the task you will fail, while in other sports you may be able to perform anyway because of your talent, or abilities. In F1 everything has to be right, your team, your car, the strategy, the mindset of course and much more. Looking forward to more of you, when you talk about F1

Definitely want to see more of your reactions to F1!

I just got into this sport recently too and it's true .. their personalities are what that drew me into the sport! It's so fun to watch

OMG IS THIS FOR REAL??? YOU REACTING TO F1 WAS EVERYTHING I NEEDED

You need to react to Sebastian Vettel... He's a gem

'That dude' was Kimi Raikkonen, he doesn't say much but it is always funny when he does Also you should check out carlos sainz senior, 90s rally legend

There is a video of one of Lando Norris' friends doing the same activities as Lando does during a day. It's on their youtube channel called Quadrant

Yes I think you would absolutely enjoy watching F1. Not only do you get a plethora of characters both as mainstays in the sport but also others who come and go through the sport, but you also get to witness how the way fans perceive drivers and how that perception changes over time (think face and heel in wrestling, but usually not very grounded in reality and instead grounded in the bias formed from the overwhelmingly intense passion people have for this sport).

Hope to see more of this F1 content.

Fastest lap and DRS have thrown some fun strategic curve balls in for sure

I got interested in F1 this year and I have fallen in love with it ever since. I hope you react to all drivers, but especially my favorite Sergio “Checo” Perez. 😊🇲🇽

That dude that you thought knew nothing about it, is actually a WorldChampion ( Kimi Raikonen) . What you saw is his charm 🤣Everybody loves this guy. He isnt much of a talker and he hates to do interviews. Last year was his last season in Formula 1, he is 43 and his nickname is The Iceman.

to collect data from the car and the tyres in fp to know how the car reacts that day, maybe variables like weather, and then decide strategy for quali and the race. thats what fp is for.

A Daniel Ricciardo reaction would be much appreciated, he's hilarious and extremely charming, a great guy.

Please watch the 'Twitch quartet quiz" it features charles leclerc, alex albon, george russell and lando norris

apex is important to hit right, so your car comes straight out the corner and you loose less speed. if you hit it well, you will be faster. its actually very cool to do on the highway!

I think Quadrant did a video, where a friend of Lando Norris followed his training schedule and diet for a day, that might be interesting

As a fan of both kpop and Formula 1, I'm enjoying the content :) I got into F1 with the Senna documentary from 2010 and the Drive to Survive series. DTS is a great way to catch up and understand the drama/flow of an F1 season, as well as learn all about the people. As a Canadian, the current Canadians in F1 are pretty hard to root for, particularly the Stroll family. Nicholas Latifi (the Quebecois) seems like a nice guy, but not a great driver. Personality-wise I'm a big fan of Pierre Gasly & Yuki Tsunoda.

im still super excited that you react and analize two of my favorite things, kpop and f1

I love racing, but the personalities make it that I watch every race. The interviews, the press conferences, the comments. Then seeing drivers joke about in their time off... It is all part of the journey and this is something rather new. The drivers have become much more relatable. Just 20 years ago, we did not get much of an idea about who these people are and what they feel.

When it comes to personalities in sports f1 is premium. I, just like you fell in love with the ufc because of the personality side of it, the same way I fell in love with f1. There is just so much content on all the drivers. Especially the last 5 years or so it has blown up with many new interesting characters added along with f1 and all the teams doing a lot better at showing that side of the drivers, that’s has resulted in a massive fan base increase. And when I say massive I mean it. The sport went from beginning to die out with primarily older generations watching the sport to it becoming so insanely popular with today’s teenagers and young adults. The Netflix series “Drive to survive” is a huge reason as to why that’s the case

So general stuff here (yes I'm super late but I've watched F1 my whole life so this excites me) there are 3 qualifying sessions. 2 on Friday, 1 on Saturday before Qualifying takes place. There are no points awarded for any of the practice or qualifying sessions. Qualifying takes place over 3 stints (Q1, Q2, Q3), the first 2 remove the 5 bottom placed drivers from both stints , and the 3rd is a top 10 shootout. The drivers have to train incredibly hard mostly to maintain lean muscle as well as core and neck strength due to the 4-5 g they endure in corners. They can also lose like 7-8kg in a race from how hot they get so they train like endurance athletes as well. As for more channels to follow in regards to F1, I suggest chainbearf1, WTF1, and Tommo. They all have great F1 related videos!

Daniel Ricciardo on the podium is a blast. Check them out. There was one race where Ricciardo and Sir Patrick Stewart had an epic moment! I love the sport. Everything about it. The drivers themselves, the car, the engineering, as well as the announcers on Sky Sport. The camera angles are so cool.

the fasest lap point is actually a very old rule that was reintroduced in 2019 but has been in f1 many decades before

A great channel to watch about F1 is WTF1, it's fun, it's explanatory, and it's got some nice sarcasm too here and there ;-) Just for your personal F1 education and entertainment, it's not neccessarily a reaction channel, although I'd love to see your response to Matthew Gallagher's after the race "the internets best reactions" video's. He's such a character! And we all love him for his unique way of being himself. I'd really love to see your reaction to him. (and perhaps his entire channel if you find more vids interesting there.)

Friday, pilots AND TEAMS practice.. They find the best setups for the car, how does the tires degrade after some laps, etc. And pilots do practice their laps and tell what they "like" or not in the car, so the setup gets optimized for their driving - but also how to optimize the car overall. Saturday, they go Qualify. Basicly, they do hotlaps (timed laps) with the "Qualifying Setup" they found on training sessions.. Who does the fastest lap in the session, starts first in the race. Second fastest, startsxsecond, and so on. (They now divide Quali sessions in 3, so they "eliminate" (or sort out the last 5 positions on the Grid) on Q1. Then the 15 cars go to Q2 to sort out the 11-15 positions on the grid for race day.. Then the last 10 "survivors" go for Q3 session to establish the final 10 positions on the grid. Sunday.. Race day. Let the magic happen.

As always, I love your analysis. Also, it felt like Carlos Sainz was doing all the precise and technical explanation, and then the rest were trying to describe things they didnt' understand 😂😂😂 I'm sure they do understand them , otherwise they wouldn't be there, but it's just so funny!!

Love that you are doing the F1 drivers videos and finding out more about this sport. Their personalities definitely make the sport a lot more real and relatable for fans. It is a very technical sport and there is a huge amount that you can learn. WTF1 is a great YT channel for content about the sport and they have quite a few info videos too. Please can you analyze 4-time world champ Sebastian Vettel? It would be very interesting if you could compare his interviews from earlier in his career to the ones now, they will be fascinating, as there has been a big shift in him and how he is perceived both among the other drivers and the fans. Would love you to do more on Carlos Sainz and to anaylze Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso. In fact if you could do most of the grid, it would be great. They have a lot of videos where they interact with their team mates and I think those are interesting as you can see different parts of their personalities emerge. You have done a video Max Verstappen, but it would be interesting for you to analyze his team mate Sergio (Checo) Perez and them together and compare that to his interaction with his previous team mates too, like you did with Charles and Carlos. Thank you for the content that you put out, really enjoy your videos.

The dude is "kimi", the legend himself and he doesn't give a damn...

I am subscribing simply for that reaction to Kimi!😄

The fastest lap point makes things interesting. Last weekend George Russel was sitting in 5th but with a massive gap to the guy in 6th. Enough for him to pit, put on the fastest soft tyres and come back out still in 5th. Had did this on the second last lap, giving him the last lap to to go for fastest. Which he did. Giving him an extra point. No one else was in a position to switch to softs and being on older tyres couldn't go for the fastest lap. Every point counts. Especially as we are getting to the end of the season.

I actually got into f1 by watching daniels GQ video reacting to racing in movies and I quickly loved his personality and started loving others like Carlos and land alone as well as their friendship and max and Daniels friendship as well! I fell in love with the sport as well and wanting them to succeed every race 🧡 team McLaren

Pretty accurate personality descriptions Max. Sebastian Vettel is also an interesting personality, maybe you should do a video about him.

I'd love to see a video on Lando Norris. He's definitely a character who's changed a lot since he entered F1 at the age of 19 in 2019. He was also team mates with Carlos and they had some really entertaining videos together that would be great to see a video on!

Yeah, Kimi doesn’t give a flying Prince Philip.

Love it Max. You have to do a video on Daniel Ricciardo next, so sad the guy isn't racing next year, an Aussie icon

Actually most drivers like an over steered car more (to an extent) then an under steered car, as an over steered car it is usually the faster one. Normal road cars (especially front wheeled drived) are usually under steered as they are easier to control when they loose grip a bit.

Hey, thanks for these vids! Concerning the diet and training, I strongly recommend “I ate and trained like Lando Norris for 24 hours” by Quadrant. Basically one of Lando’s e-sports teammate spends a day in the life of Lando, with him and his trainer, it’s a funny and interesting view of a normal guy trying to train as an F1 driver.

The “guy who doesn’t know the rules” is Kimi Raikkonen, and that just hum talking normally.

There is a great Grill the Grid video where where drivers are all challenged to rank in another in height order- that one is fun and a great way to see some of the personalities/friendships/rivalries

The rules when it comes to pints is pretty simple. There are somewhere between 16-24 races on a season, and each race they get the points as the video explained. If you sum up all the points on all the races, whoever has the most is world champion. There is also the constructors championship. There are 10 teams with two drivers each, so for the constructors championship you sum up all the points from both drivers, and the team with most points wins.

You need to check Carlos and Lando together. They're really good friends and they were teammates in McLaren. Also, Daniel and Lando are in the same team now and they're funny together too.

This video is all over the place. It's aimed at both complete newbies of the sport and people with a bit of knowledge. Locking up and flatspotting if one of the most common things that happens in races and it's important to know how it works to understand what's happening.

Just remember, these F1 cars can do 5+g on braking and cornering, about 3g on accel maximum. Sometimes like 130r at Suzuka, the lateral G force is about 6 i think(as of the 2020 cars) The teams 100% disassemble and re-build the cars every event and MUST be able to show the FIA ANY info requested on any parts used or changed whenever asked. Also, fast as these cars are, they are apparently the length and width of a Ford F150. Clearly far shorter, but dang man. The size of a F150, yet capable of 200mph to 50mph in about 3.7seconds.

You should react to some famous F1 crashes!

great vid as always Max! just wondering what kind of work you did/or still do outside of youtube? Hope you check out Twenty One Pilots Fan Press Conference-Toronto which shows how they interact with their fans and deal with microphone issues on stage which I think is really interesting!!

Youngest Driver currently on the grid is japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda who races for Williams (22 years old) and oldest is spanish driver Fernando Alonso driving for Alpine (41 years old). There's definitly a lot of new, young drivers this season. Many of them being in their early-mid twenties. Most drivers nowdays retire once they are around 40 years old give or take. Also the only canadian drivers on the grid are Lance Stroll (guy in the pink suit) and Nicholas Latifi. Daniel Ricciardo is australian.

Another great reaction video and analysis but not enough Charles!! 😅

Kimi is a legend

good video. please do more f1 (personalities) videos

Another thing about the fastest lap, if you don't finish in the top 10 you don't get the point but it might be just as important to steal that point away from someone else

If you would like to know more their Netflix show, Drive to Survive, is a great place to start. You get an understanding of F1, the teams, and the drivers.

2:35 yeah that rule gives an extra dimension to the racing. You'd have to pit for new tyres to get the fastest lap, but a pit stop could go wrong and you could lose a position. But when the risk is low you'll see people going for it, because multiple championships have already been decided by just 1 point

Kimi is mood

You should definitely react to max winning his second World championship, after all the confusion when he finally sat in the chair to take the photos his first words were It's lonely in here or something like that which I'd love to here some of the psychology behind

Hahahah "this guy doesn't even know the rules. That's Kimi and he doesn't care about anything related to media. So he comes off as either really blunt or just UHHHHs his way through every interaction. But he's a legend for not caring, and was called the Iceman. He retired last year. Edit: and yes, he probably has no idea what the rules are.

YAY! Converted another person from across the pond! Yayyyy

yes, personalities are big part of whole show. Drama outside of the track is often more interesting than just racing.

You should check out their press conferences, sometimes these drivers will really show their personality. The way they handle the media can be pretty amusing.

Daniel Riccardo is Australian

He got the F1 tickle i can see it!

Seb Vettel is also a great personality.

If you want to learn more about F1. The channel WTF1 has a lot of explainer videos on specific F1 related things. It's called the WTF101 series, I believe.

Hehe, welcome to the world of F1! 🥰

ahhh i've been getting into formula 1 as well! perfect timing!! i thought the kpop rabbit hole was bad but formula 1 is just as addictive haha

loved this video, definitely check out more f1 videos 🧡

oh watch the McLaren milk challenge with carlos and Lando it is just so funny

"Who is that dude?" That's Kimi Raikonnen and you NEED to do a video about him! 🙏

Daniel Ricciardo is from Perth, Australia.

Please continue to react to f1!!

Thise drivers is the 20 best drivers in the entire world. You can trust, that they know all about thise cars and circuits. And the guy you thought was a joke, Kimi Reikkonen, he is maby the one who knows the most about it. He have bin in the sport for a very long time, and he does his work in to a creasy level. And he is a world champion driving a Ferrari.
