F1 Driver

[Earth]

Are they pushing it to the limit all the time???

Are they that good?

new technology has done alot for the sport, i dont think it drives the cars for them so i would say theyre that good. Of course theyre pushing the limit all the time.

As long as the cars :car: still spin out :spin:, the drivers are still doing most of the work.... And yes they are definately pushing to the limits and sometimes going past them... Sato being known for Crashes , He's a great guy though.....

Well for one I dont think JV is trying his best.

Thats because hes with the wrong team.

maybe i am asking the wrong question in the wrong thread but, how do people become F1 drivers?? , i mean they must go through years of Go-karting and fast driving on difficult circuits.

I would suggest going to various F1 driver's websites and look at their CV's - that would give you a good idea. Karting is generally how most of them got started.

Karting mainly but there was one driver who served food to a team once and got taken on a test drive one day (but he must have had previous racing experience)....

Now who was it 💡 dam I can't remember his name or the team for that matter Anyone else know?

Yeah i used to go-kart when i waz 8, i waz really good at it and i stayed on it until i go to 10 then i had lots of school homework and that stopped me from going, also a year later the go-karting place i used to go to closed down, lack of money in the end.
