People don't realize it, but those F1 steering wheels are absolutely no joke and ain't messing around

Most unathletic looking yet extremely impressive athlete I've ever seen lol

The villain of a Disney movie training just to get beat by the power of friendship

People need to remember that athletes train for performance and not for a particular “look”.

Every pilot requires intense long and hard training, no matter if it’s a F1 pilot or airplane pilot

Saw an interview with Hamilton and he talked about not being able to bulk up his upper part of the body because of center of gravity issues when turning. I never really thought about it but they push so many G's in the turns I can see why it would be an issue.

That's how your grandpa would describe his driver's license exam back in his "good ol'times"

He's making sure that Daniels equipment are in working order what a good man

Anything that pays that much money is never easy no matter how simple it looks

Bro I remember driving a go kart for 20 minutes straight. The next day my arms and abs were sore. Now I understand why these guys need to train.

funny how this comes across my pupils as he is kicked from the team and recplaced by a veteran with 10 years experience

This is how it feels turning any corner in a 4 door 58’ Lincoln continental mk III

People need to remember that endurance is more important than strength for a racing driver. Plus having a lot of muscle mass would actually be a disadvantage in a sport so focused on weight savings

Well his time in f1 didn’t last long💀

I remember getting a cramp from driving a car with no power steering from the 70s

Räikkönen's training: opening as many bottles of beer as possible.

People do not understand the loads they are under. The G-forces are so extreme that their organs are constantly being squished. At Melbourne years ago, at the end of the straight, Lewis noted that the negative acceleration was pulling the tears out of his tear ducts and he could see them splashing on to his visor under braking.

Oh hell nah my shoulders will be fd up

[klrworkman]

Gotta imagine how much that car weighs, how much power it takes to control that vehicle from the steering wheel, then on top of that you Have to practice with your Reflexes and reacting to obstacles and errors at the drop of a hat. These people(drivers) have impressive skills 💯👍🏻
