How do you get an F1 Super Licence?

In order to compete in Formula 1, drivers need a Super Licence. But how do you get a super licence, and how have the FIA changed the rules to make it even trickier than ever to get into F1?

I'm over 18 and have a driver's license. Halfway there! 🏁

F1 Theory Test multiple choice sample question ....

You are approaching a fast left hand bend on ultra soft tyres in 3rd gear and can see Pastor Maldonado in your mirrors, will he hit you ...
(A) in the rear
(B) in the side
(C) from above
(D) in the showers after the race.

And then there is Kimi that got into F1 with only 23 races in lower categories and got his Super Licence

The “300km” option is def for rich kids.

Now once you got a license, have your dad buy a F1-team so your are guaranteed to have a seat.

The video in 2018: "The silliest of silly seasons"

*2021 Silly Season enters the chat*

Thank you Verstappen for changing the system.

The 300 km rule was quite ridiculous and saw a lot of unbearably bad F1 drivers have a seat simply because they can drive an F1 car

Random fact: Max Verstappen holds the record for most wins without ever being sitting on pole with 4 wins.

With the release of F1 2018 could you maybe do a video where you explain all the different parts of the car's setup? The basic things such as wings, ballast, etc I understand but things as camber and toe are still a litle vague for me. Thanks and great vids as always

[Henrix]

Red Bull really shot their own foot by going through so many drivers so quickly

[RunningOnCylindersYT]

Now people can stop wondering why Hartley got into F1

[Apice.]

Oi m8, av' you got a super loicence for that?

[ArthurFai]

>having a valid driving license

That's why Kvyat make his driving license in 2016

"Literal Teenagers" - Pete Doherty and Catherine Tate.. haha Chain Bear is the best!

[greenshell]

Wasn't even aware that there were changes to acquiring the super licence. And the humour throughout the video is nice too. XD

I've got 100 hours on Assetto Corsa, how many points does that get me

[TheHarryMoose]

Something I've never even thought of, and you've made it incredibly interesting.

[Dylancliff]

I imagine the LMP1 change for 2018 is simply because most of the competition has left? as opposed to the days Porsche, Audi and Toyota battled it out.

[HaloReachsquad]

Man I swear you read my mind and then make a video

[mrtickleuk]

New Chain Bear video? Watch immediately! Thanks! :)
