How is the driving skill of driver F 1?

The drivers of F 1 have superb driving skills.

Formula one racing is a rough monster and needs to be treated with great care. Just pushing it from behind with about 800 horsepower to keep it in a straight line is a very delicate job. The slightest mistake will make the car slip and even run off the runway. Drivers who participate in Formula One racing generally have at least 10 years of racing experience. No matter what kind of car they have, the basic driving skills-hand position, pedal, where to brake and where to start turning-are the same.

Step on the clutch twice:

Early Formula One cars didn't have a synchronizer, so drivers had to step on the clutch twice to shift into a low gear and lower the throttle when the car was in neutral.

Turn two sharp turns:

When passing through two sharp turns, in order not to slow down as much as possible, the driver should find a straightest route between two bends, enter a straight road through two vertices, and accelerate as soon as possible.

Turn around:

Slipping is the result of the sudden loss of adhesion of the rear wheel due to poor race route, excessive speed or excessive re-acceleration of the driver. 50 km/h is as easy to turn as 250 km/h.

Go straight:

Be very careful when cutting straight. Generally speaking, you must slow down on the straight road. The most important thing is to keep the momentum as much as possible. Therefore, drivers must walk as straight as possible and try to reduce the action of hitting the steering wheel.

S-bend:

If the first curve is more urgent than the second curve, the driver will start to brake and slow down before the vertex of the first curve. Once turning, he will immediately drive to the next vertex and turn to the second curve. After slowing down at the first corner, he can accelerate again immediately.

Hands on the steering wheel:

It only takes half a turn to turn the steering wheel from one end to the other, so drivers must never give up. Even in the most urgent corner, just turning your wrist is enough to hit the steering wheel. On the straight, hands should be at "1/4 to 3/4". When turning a small corner, the "inner" hand should "pull back" the steering wheel. When making a sharp turn, you can put your hands together and hit the steering wheel.

A sharp turn:

In order not to turn too late outside the curve, drivers start to brake as soon as they approach the big curve in a straight line, and the trained drivers brake for almost the same time. (Of course, Schumacher and hakkinen, known as geniuses, will have shorter brake bands. ) Generally, drivers don't turn near the corner, in order to go as straight as possible so as to occupy a position where they can accelerate again soon after turning.
