Here's Why You Couldn't Survive 1 Lap In a Formula 1 Car! 🤯

You think you could drive an F1 car?

No, you can't.

And here's why.

Besides the fact that you are broke, there's some other things too.

F1 drivers react in about 200 milliseconds.

And in 2019, Valtteri Bottas broke the record for that with reaction time of 40 milliseconds.

That's quicker than most people blink.

Unlike most road cars, F1 brakes have no power assistance, requiring drivers to exert all braking force themselves.

Try pushing a pedal that needs 100 kilos of force.

Additionally, during braking,

An F1 car generates a 5G of force on the driver, which is similar to landing a two-story jump.

Not just once, but turn after turn for 70 laps.

And your neck gets the worst of it.

In a high-speed corner, your head feels like it weighs 40 kilos.

During the high-speed crash, the impact the drivers feel can go up to even 50G.

That's why F1 drivers have necks like rugby players and you don't.

During the race, the cockpit of an F1 car can heat up to 60 degrees Celsius, hard enough to lose three to four kilos of weight in less than two hours of racing.

And while all of that's happening, their heart rate stays at 170 to 180 beats per minute for 90 minutes straight.

Same as a world-class marathon runner.

So now that you know all of this, next time you say, man, I could have gone pro in F1.

No, no, you couldn't.
