F1 Longest Interview Question (Individual Driver Reactions)

Walter Koster's finest minute and a half. Thanks to @F1_Mike for sharing the question in the comments.

"Gentleman.

A short view back to the past.

30 years ago Niki Lauda told us "take a trained monkey place him in to the cockpit and he is able to drive the car."

30 years later Sebastian told us "I had to start my car like a computer, it's very complicated". And Nico Rosberg said he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel.

Question for you two both.

Is Formula 1 driving today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the wheel? Are you too much under effort, under pressure?

What are you wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race?

Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?"

The moment the interviewer said "Gentlemen, a short view...", Seb knew it was going to be a legendary question, with the way he smiled.

The funny thing is his questions are actually quite good

[lmao]

'Less, more buttons? '
Button : *confused* confusing *confusion*

[nathandoan]

I love how Seb's face just lights up when he hears this mans voice

[malvanra]

Sad thing is, he tries to show his intelligence and understanding of history and provide context to why he's asking. But his questions are actually quite good

*That's me trying to explain to my english teacher why I didn't do the homework*

[justarandomguy]

0:18 Rosberg invented the *sheesh* face

[Vok]

Gotta love Vettel. Classy guy, actually listened, heard who it was for, and defended the reporter.

[beriaenjoyer]

-Gentlemen
Sebastian smiles immediately

[lushhush]

[lepmuhangpa]

I think the question was fine, it's just him having difficulty speaking.

[FallUpSlowly]

The way Vettel amused himself at 1:21 is great

its pretty weird, when he says "monkey" 1 second later 0:10 hamilton gives the death stare eyes and is like "tf u say?"

[EclipsaMyrtenaster]

I like how Nico squinted like he's also confused on what race he was talking about from 0:29 to 0:33

[DavidJohnson-dclu]

That was an Essay where you needed to gather peer viewed scientific data to create an argument for a simple steering wheel and more driving.

[MethmalDhananjaya]

"MONKEY"
Lewis Hamilton : 👁️👄👁️

[HANNIBALro]

[knappedennis]

[Normal_person]

“gentlemen, a short view back to the past..”
Seb: “Ooooh boy..”
