F1 drivers prove that functional strength > aesthetics

>Formula One drivers are some of the most highly conditioned athletes on earth, their bodies specifically adapted to the very exacting requirements of top-flight single-seater motor racing.

>All drivers need to undergo a period of conditioning to cope with the physical demands of the sport: no other race series on earth requires so much of its drivers in terms of stamina and endurance. The vast loadings that Formula One cars are capable of creating, anything up to a sustained 3.5 g of cornering force, for example, means drivers have to be enormously strong to be able to last for full race distances. The extreme heat found in a Formula One cockpit, especially at the hotter rounds of the championship, also puts vast strain on the body: drivers can sweat off anything up to 3kg of their body weight during the course of a race.

>Most drivers undergo an intensive period of cardio-vascular training ahead of the season and then taper their exercise regime to maintain their fitness levels throughout the year. Popular training methods include running, swimming and cycling.

>F1 drivers also do strength training, though for weight saving reasons they are always mindful of building too much muscle. The unusual loadings experienced by neck and chest muscles mean that these are the most heavily targeted areas.

>G-forces experienced negotiating a bend can make the head and helmet weigh around five times as much as normal, and the neck must support both.

>Although F1 cars have power assisted steering, strong arm muscles and a strong core are also required to enable the car to be controlled during longer races.

that's fantastic. I'm happy that they're so strong. but I would rather look good and have good strength than look like shit and have amazing strength.

I'm not an F1 driver though OP

I'm just an user who wants to look good

Or they could do crew. Another richfag sport that provides better conditioning, and aesthetics.

Wasn't the little dude from top gear able to drive a F-1 car without any training?

We're still mindful of our weight though. Can't have fatties on board fucking up our draft.

If you can call this driving:

Could you do this?

the grip is pretty insane

If by driving you mean moving the car from point A to point B so then yes.
I mean probably you know how to write and can write but that doesnt make you a writer.

but could they drive red bull x2010?

Check back on the drivers HUEG GAYNES after driving this years THICCmobiles anons, gonna be breaking records this year.

That's pretty cool I never realized how demanding it was
Thank for sharing OP

that women looks like a burnt cat carcass

Those nipples...

They're basically jockies. They're small for the advantage of weight/power=speed
They train to have minimum amount of strength necessary to get the job done. But I don't race so none none of that applies to me and his function is different than my function so I really don't understand your argument.

>bigger tits than gf

>I really don't understand your argument

There's no argument. I'm just trolling, brah.

They experience 3.5g on turns? That is fucking insane.

But you didn't even trigger anyone
This was a shit troll and you wrote a wall of text to do it
0/10

I didn't write anything. Copypasta, brah.

Next year it's going to be even more when the cars become 4-5 seconds faster per lap.

Here's a lap with real time g-force meter:
