What F1 Feels Like... Under The Helmet

An F1 driver's world changes once they put their race helmet on and prepare for battle. Here's how it feels, by some of the 2021 grid...

"It protects my head"
- Kimi

[swamin]

Keep these coming, give us another season of grill the grid

[sandalphoncpu]

Yuki without helmet: *polite, nice, calm headed*
Yuki with helmet: *shouts in swearing*

[manboi]

If Räikkönen was in this he would of said “It’s on my head so yeah.”

[gmorjuela]

"Bwoah, it protects my head, I don't know what else to say..."

Kimi Raikkonen

[Aplari]

*what it feels under helmet*
Kimi: it feels you have helmet on

[alpeshabhijitchowdhury]

I get butterflies in my stomach just hearing Crofty shout Lights out. I can't imagine what it's like when you're there driving the car

When Yuki puts on the helmet, A NEW WORLD IS CREATED, YUKI'S ALTERNATE MULTI-VERSE VARIANT

[vahidrezabarati]

Everyone else: - "you feel like a warrior, concentrated, tough, stand up for yourself, focused, strong"

Lance: - "you feel butterflies in your stomach"

[inzanexa]

F1 drivers concentrating genuinely scare me, like they are so dedicated to their sport. You can feel the ‘No one is getting in my way and I’ll give it all’ through the screen and from the way they talk

[lolcat]

The fact that they can maintain such a level of concentration and focus is mind blowing. Getting each braking, turning watching for other cars, changing gears, car settings right while moving at 300 kph is amazing.
Edit: Then there's me who has to do 10 flash backs on every turn on F1 2020

Nobody:
'what is it like under the helmet?'
Alonso: Be W-I-D-E

[jellobunn]

Kimi: "The rules said that we need to put on helmets so yeah idk"

[Tiametmarduk]

That's cool and all but how do you scratch an itch on the top of your head mid race?

[JiaLeAperta]

"Target Practice, let's go!"
- Pastor Maldonado

[dimitrisk]

Bottas: "I care less about others."
Everyone else: "We know Valtteri, oh we know."

Christ, if F1 makes a video like this, how would Netflix recreate it 🤣

[aaronanish]

TBH, I burst out laughing when Mazepin said
"IF I MAKE A DECISION I STICK TO IT"

[hadipawar]

Lewis was basically sending a message to Max in this entire monolouge.

[roideguzman]

Lewis: Elbows out
Horner: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!!
