@8:00 "you have to remain 5cm off the white line..." Yeah, this is what an F1 driver is all about. Coming in to that corner at speeds that would make me blackout (even in a road car), and you're measuring centimetres to avoid a sliver of paint because it's a bit damp... It's at this point I'd like to give a shout out to the guys at the back of the grid - they might not be winning races, but they are still doing the same thing in a car that they can't even trust. Hats off to those drivers - hopefully soon, someone will give George Russell a good car soon !

Nico talked about how draining it was for him in f1 because he spent no free time during the season, always 100% about the race at all times - this is not normal for even the best drivers. f1 drivers are not friends during that state of mind. When nico retired, all of that stress and emotions went away, so he is able to reflect and their relationship was ultimately mended or at least cooled down after that.

The track itself is really cool and challenging, also I love the sound of the engines when the cars do 250+ kph right in the middle of the city. It isn’t always easy to overtake there but the races are always very exciting due to the walls sometimes coming a bit to close, that combined with the heigh temperatures makes the race really demanding for the drivers, something that we all want to see!

Are these track strategies something all drivers know; mandatory guidelines all drivers are taught before they first step into an F1 car - or is it something they have to figure out and take notes on through driving actual laps of these circuits? Great job as always.

I imagine by the time they reach F1 having most likely driven through f3 and f2 they have worked out most of the tricks, but I'm sure earlier in their career they get quite a lot of coaching

Things like the wet line are all best learnt at karting really, it’s basically the opposite to the racing line also most likely learnt at karting

I think it’s a mix out of both. I mean the young driver academies of the teams aren’t there for nothing :D

For some places like Albert Park or Circuit Gilles Villeneuve they don't see it in the lower formulae and only ever get to race it in F1. But I think it was Juan Pablo Montoya (who hadn't raced on any European circuits for a couple of years before coming to F1 in 2001) who said he could find out 90% of everything he would ever know about a circuit within his first three laps of driving it. Being a fast learner is a key part of being a fast driver!

Would be really cool to see you do a race and talk through your decisions of when and where to overtake

I totally love silverstone, with the history in the track and its width, there are quite a few overtake attemps all over the place taking different lines, also, magets and beckets, my favorite corners in formula one💯

Spa for sure. It's the most beautiful, high speed, thrilling, scary and multi faceted track with a range of everything. Long straights, different types of corners, longest lap distance, highest elevation changes. Then there is also the gorgeous backdrop and environment where it's located. I have always loved it and think it's the highest skilled track circuit on the calendar.

My favourite track is Paul Ricard so many overtaking opportunities and it has produced the most entertaining 2019 f1 race

Great explanation Nico. Really appreciate the details. I have been watching F1 since last 10 years . But you have given such good technical insights today. Keep posting such videos. Cheers!!

My most favorite track is Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Canada. I really like the flow of the track, fast corners after straights where every mistake cost you lot of time and speed. Casino corner where exit is super important and then Wall of the Champions before finish line.

Singapore, because I love street circuits and if you get the flow it’s beautiful feeling, especially sector three in the slow section and there‘s a long straight in sector 1, where you can overtake. And don’t forget the part from Singapore sling to the hairpin is really nice
