Isn't that Bernie's idea of making the cars sound better next year? Believe me, they didn't sound like "fast" machines in Montreal. The Ferrari race ahead of the GP had a more exciting sound.
Do you have the balls to take turns at 200kmph? Or a body to handle 5g while braking from 300 to 0 in less than 3secs? Or predict the turn, brake, change gears and exit the turn under 2 secs? It's just rewarding for the extremely talented. ;D
Akshay Patil he would if he trained from the beginning. you know, like from karting and to "little formula" championships like Formula Renault and so on. I agree about the talent to actually race in Formula One, but just to drive, if he was a racing driver, yes he would have the balls.
I will just add that it is the best job on planet TO YOU and others like you, since you are obv. into cars a lot. BUT a lot of ppl don't realise 1. what it takes to get to that level so you can be paid those nice millions and 2. the busy way of life plus stress this lifestyle is. Why Nico had enough for example. So yeah, it all looks great on the outside and everybody wants to be in their shoes, but once they are there...a lot of ppl will give up. A lot don't have the skill to get to F1 to begin with btw. (aware it's not for poor ppl in general lol talking about skill! )
Being a Formula 1 driver is a lot less stressful than a normal job. You get paid millions for your average day to be this video; that sort of exercising is what lots of people do on their days off.
I admire the fitness training of the motorsport athlete.. They were not strong looking, not like the NBa players or Football.. But to control the car with the Gs, Speeds, Heat and Pressure.. You got to be a top tier athlete.. Aside from the bravery to tackle the Corners..
I understand the training required, but does he really need to juggle while riding a unicycle? Can every f1 driver do this? If no, clearly Nico is better.
It helps with coordination and preemptive thinking. Moving your hands according to the trajectory of the juggling balls and keeping all 3 in mind is a skill very simmilar to envisioning how a car will go around a corner.
What a genuine revelation this video is. Developing practical skills for the demands of formula 1 racing in such a direct and specific way, seems so obvious when you see it, but is not what you’re thinking of when considering in the life of a Formula 1 Racecar driver. You can see why Nico has able to keep himself at the top of his game and become a World Champion!
Un grand champion! Il m'a l'air d'être une bonne personne. Je suis plus fan de lewis, mais j'aime vraiment la personnalité de Nico aussi. Encore bravo pour ton titre!
Definitely gave me a bit more insight. I knew that driving an F1 car was very, very hard and I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise to me that these professionals should make sure they're at the top of their game, even if it means catching tennis balls while doing squats and neck weights.
The steering/neck strengthening machine was brilliant! Really, really cool. And it paid off this year with a podium in Monaco. All the best for next season, Nico.
Nico, It was great to meet you and Lewis in KL last week. Congratulations on your win in Singapore. You and Lewis have made me a Formula 1 fan. All the best as you continue your season. Ed Stokes, the American you met at the Petronas dinner and on race day.
it's a talent there are many people who aren't that good they have lots of knowledge of what it takes to drive fast properly through lots of expensive experience it's their career not hobby
yeah i play racing games on my phone, and any race that is longer than 5 laps becomes super boring and i even fall asleep sometimes. i dont think their job is easy, most especially when you are like 10seconds in front or a maclaren driver.
Thanks for the inside into your Training , it's very interesting . I wish you all the best for the 2014 Season . Better the Season can not start for you . Best Regards from Dortmund Dan
I'm a Hamilton fan, didn't know anything about Nico until the Shmee 150 Merc GTR video a few days ago. Now I'm a Nico fan too! Great training regimen, very inspirational. F1 drivers have mad skills.
Bravo Nico pour ton titre tu la mériter pour moi tes le meilleur le N°1 champion du monde je fais la fête avec des amis merçi pour cette belle et bonne saison bravo champion 👑👑👑👑👑👑
should add a foot pedal weight press where you measure percentage of pressure and hold it for extended times at a given fixed percentage or have to move it though a certain percentage range smoothly over a given time frame.
To call this interesting is an understatement . This blog os so interesting. Monoco is like a series of cliffs too . So riding is going to be hard work.
the best I can help you. I dont know if the video will play in your country due to liscense restrictions for some media put into you tube - das rec dead disko. worked for me
Wow. Nico is incredible. I've always thought of him as one of the hardest working F1 drivers. I wish he could either sign to a team like Red Bull or Mclaren or make Mercedes a top of the line team
You mean they were manual gearboxes back then, now they are sequential, it means they have to go through them in sequence, e.g. with a flappy paddle of stick shifter.
It is true it took a lot of skill to control the cars back then with the little downforce although the difference between pulling 2-3Gs in a bend and pulling 6Gs in a bend is substantial. When you're pulling 3-6Gs every lap for 50-70 laps, it takes a lot more strength to go through that. Also F1 now is no less easy, it just looks easy cuz the cars don't skittle about anymore but it takes a lot of commitment to go thru corners at such high speeds n trust the downforce will get you through it.
Great movie, i am a triathlete myself and heard that you stopt cycling this year to lose extra weight in your legs? So if you want to get rid of that great bike i am stil looking for an tt bike ...
