F1 Safety Car Driver Bernd Maylander | Hot Lap And Interview

F1 has had one Safety Car driver for the last 19 years - time to buckle up and meet the man himself, Bernd Maylander...

[perropeligro]

3 lap race, Hamilton vs Maylander on safety cars. Liberty make it happen.

[armchairracer]

He looks 70-80 years old in the car with helmet and glasses and then 40-50 out of the car

[mahiristewart]

He should have won Brazil in 2016 He dominated the race

[NomNomNom]

imagine doing 0 mistakes in 21 years with bunch of f1 cars and multiple world champions in your mirror. people tend to do mistakes with pressure but he stays calm and delivers.

[JH-pjld]

Still, thank you Maylander, your appearance is much more exciting than a VSC.

[MyTechFanatic]

When Lewis retires, put him in the Safety Car for one race, so all the drivers get to moan at HIM for ‘not going fast enough’.

[owtena]

It'll be cool if all F1 drivers could come together to present this guy a trophy for keeping them safe :)

[TheRacingMonkey]

*He needs a cooler and faster car...give this man a Pagani!*

(engine is still from AMG...should be all fine 😂)

[ayrtoncoetzee]

Crazy how these safety cars are going as fast as possible, yet the F1 cars behind are barely trying.

[brigdzzandshadow]

this is the only dude leading 700 laps in his career to not win a F1 GP

[anthonyhall]

Thank you Formula1 for this quick taste, but it was too short. Would love to see behind the scene videos on all aspects Formula 1. Show us the personality of F1...we'd love to hear the personal stories which drive the staff to work in F1. I think you'll attract more fans if you share your interesting human stories.

[victorpersson]

Give Bernd a trophy. He's driven more seasons in F1 than most of the regular drivers.

[Scabu]

It would be interesting to go through all the different Mercedes-Benz Safety Cars and which Car Bernd liked most

[Donyx]

*The engine feels much slower than before. Amazing*

[mgecko]

I think it is very impressive that he is doing this for 18 years often in very hard conditions pushing really hard and never crashed out or made major mistakes. 700 laps is not a joke and it is not hard to spin out in wet conditions with car like this so hats off for Bernd that he kept his focus for so long.

[harrysadler]

I don't think it's safe enough. Perhaps if you put a halo on each side and another on the top, it'll be much improved.

[bedmar]

Give him a Williams and he will drive faster than Stroll/Sirotkin

[explodingbagofchips]

So nice to finally meet mazepin and stroll's babysitter

[michaelc-xvii-iv]

The logo isn't that bad. I was annoyed at first now I accept it. It's pretty decent.

[BPapa]

i think he should get a trophy when he reaches the 1000 laps lead mark
