F1 22: Mike's Driving School - Luke vs George Russell | Canada Grand Prix 35 Laps in the Rain

[@oriolgonzalez9328]

50 minutes of Mike and Luke playing a F1 game? IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

[@cached_arts]

“We’re the only KZbinrs playing F1 and referencing Cassandra” is both accurate and why I love OX so much

[@morganbrokaw5190]

Waypoint will also do this.

[@FictionWriter95]

Seriously. They say that like it's a bad thing XD

[@noddler217]

Luke: 'oh, it's raining!' The Audience: 'no, we just wish it was, Luke'

[@jembozaba4864]

Please. It's raining all the time over here in Aus

[@noddler217]

@@jembozaba4864 You may not be aware, but in the UK right now it's pushing 40C. Our houses were built to keep heat in, on account of we didn't have weather like this when most of them were built somewhere around the time Henry VIII lopped off his fourth wife's head. We're currently doing our very best Elphaba impressions across the country. (If your comment was meant to be a joke, I apologise, I'm awful at getting jokes online).

[@highspotplays]

Saw "Mike," "Luke," and "Driving" in the title. Got unreasonably excited.

[@thecadaver]

I swear I've learned more about driving watching the many "Mike teaches Luke how to F1" than I did in the 80 hours of driving I put towards my license way back when I still shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel of a car regardless, but still. So much more knowledgeable about cornering

[@frodobaggins7710]

I remember watching an old SOTWE episode where Luke had played a racing game and was being "scrutinised" by Mike, and now Luke's playing a full F1 sim with a wheel and pedals, with Mike as his driving buddy

[@alec7568]

Wait he's using a wheel set up? Must have missed them mention. Awesome!

[@ABadassDragon]

I dont care about cars or racing basically whatsoever, but listening to Mike's tehnical explanations and him just nerding out about something he loves just pulls me in. Its like watching a master at work. Its just satisfying

[@prettylittlequeenbee8201]

as someone who knows 0, zero, nothing, not-a-thing-at-all about cars this was unbelievably fun to watch!!

[@Yesterzine]

Then as someone who does know too much about this let me say listen to Mike, he's spot on.

[@akmal94ibrahim]

As someone who is obsessed with F1, this is also unbelievably fun to watch.

[@thomasvrielink299]

With how many times he kissed that wall, Luke is clearly a champion in the making! Amazing drive, would love to see more of this

[@druudru5356]

I've never watched an F1 in my life and never will, but those last few laps had me genuinly tense and cheering for Luke.

[@randomhero1260]

Mike telling Luke to do the last chicane like he always does has big "Luke telling Ellen she's got this during a boss fight" vibes

[@156football]

I work at a sim racing center, and I'll say for context, ABS is incredibly difficult to have off. If Luke can figure that out he's gonna be really good!

[@zachluetgers5932]

That was brilliant! Would be awesome to see this as a series. We can watch Luke play a full season on half length races with coach Mike! You guys pulled me into the drive to survive club and I haven't missed a race since so this is really fun to see.

[@hueykratos]

going on slicks in wet conditions scares the shit outta me, always got me so twitchy. ps- the battle with max was nice and would love to see a co-op race with Mike and Luke. The battle with Russell was amazing.

[@ryangale3757]

You can hear the dad pride in Mike's voice as Luke gets better and better, it's very wholesome.

[@caryacadrunnerxc]

Watching this makes me appreciate how reserved and polite Yuki Tsunoda is on the radio to his race engineer

[@RAFDOG2k7]

OX is officially the reason I'm now into F1. Can't believe I just watched 50 minutes of this 😅 Can this become a series?

[@la_robbo]

I thought I'd just check this out since I'm not really into f1 and then suddenly it was over??? How did the time go so fast?? I hope you make this a full series

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Luke's Racing Academy with Mike as the Race Engineer

[@memashes]

Luke's journey in to F1 fandom is one of my favourite things about OX. My other favourite things are all of you.

[@156football]

Yes!! I love Mike and Luke's racing videos! Edit: and 50 mins?? Can't wait to watch once I'm off work!!

[@drewworth1568]

Jeesh, the end of that race was as tense as any GP I've watched. That tire strategy was a risky one but well done holding that together at the end.

[@Renanbso]

Mike has converted me as well. I got curious and decided to give F1 a try and caught myself at 3 am trying to master driving without traction control

[@katfromthekong414]

😂👏🏼

[@SolaScientia]

I'm still trying to decide on a racing game. I've got GT7 on my wishlist, but now I'm eyeing this game as well (or instead of).

[@katfromthekong414]

@@SolaScientia have you considered Forza Horizon? It's supposed to be great fun, but not as technical as this one

[@bustinarant]

@@katfromthekong414 They've always leaned a little closer to open world garage finding and sign vandalism. It's hard to go back to motorsport lol

[@SolaScientia]

@@katfromthekong414 I'm on the PS5. No Xbox of any variety and my laptop isn't up to gaming anymore considering its specs and its age now. Thanks for the rec though. It does look fun from what I've seen of Luke and Mike playing it. My other issue is I don't do multiplayer stuff in general, so I don't bother with any of the PS+ options.

[@Bigd2k]

This has always amazed me, even as a sports fan, when someone talks about something you do t know a lot about and you realize how much more is going in beyond the surface.

[@sazthompson8398]

Mike and Luke have done it. They’ve done the unthinkable. They’ve gotten me into F1. God damnit, now I guess I have to go watch all of that Netflix show they’re always banging on about 😂

[@emspanton]

I understand why this probably couldn't happen but I would love to see a Mike+Luke co-op MyTeam career

[@archer8492]

I'm not even that into racing games but I love Mike and Luke's enthusiasm for them, and having this be such a long vid with a lot of unbroken sections made it very relaxing to watch (and yet also tense, somehow). More please!

[@bernard832]

If Ellen becomes a dad and starts watching F1, this will be the whole channel.

[@callumdonington2227]

Jane is halfway there, and Ellen has admitted she's watched GP before... All we need is to covert Andy

[@akmal94ibrahim]

I'm seeing a trend here. Mike influences Luke to play Fromsoft games who in turn influences Ellen. And now he's doing it with F1. Next, we'll have Ellen's F1 Academy with Luke being the race engineer.

[@mms16]

so luke is slowly but steadily becoming mike. it started with dark souls and then it was becoming a father and then its the cars

[@akmal94ibrahim]

We'll know for sure when Luke finally plays Hitman. See if he sneaks around or grabs a duck.

[@formalpainter6598]

The constant low level stress of an actual race definitely translates to this medium too, great video!

[@harrypatatochips139]

I'd love a whole Luke and Mike let's play over a season even if it's not 35 laps long per race

[@Houldey]

I know these are really kinda niche videos in gaming, and I don't play these games myself - nor do I have an interest in F1, but I can't help but love seeing people conquer games in real time like this. Its the same sorta vicarious enjoyment you get from watching someone puzzle out a boss fight. Happy to see more!

[@notoriousbmc1]

There should be a Martin Brundle grid walk mode. Imagine that in VR! "I'd love to speak to her, but I don't think I could stand the rejection."

[@yojimbo1375]

I'd watch an entire series of Luke Leclerc and Engineer Cassandra Channell, this was a joy

[@mistyraven6499]

This was such a wholesome experience! Love your interactions, guys. Thank you!

[@ryanthemuppet]

Really enjoy the student and master racing videos! and its really refreshing to see a mortal play the game like a regular person with flashbacks and some assists, unlike all the sim racing pros who have 100+ difficulty!

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

As someone who never had any interest in F1, that was way more fun than I expected! I'd love to see more of this:)

[@kes-3d]

F1 is really not my thing but I absolutely love these videos. I know nothing about this sort of driving, so listening to Mike explain it and teach Luke is incredibly interesting.

[@sniper441]

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would, good show

[@aaronkimberley2008]

Luke leading the DRS train, Nice! Introduces himself to the wall of champions, Classic!!

[@scottlil01]

Nice racing Luke! Racing without ABS is quite difficult, especially when you don't have that much experience in these games. Was expecting at least one Alex Albon style "GEORGE!!!" to come out at some point.

[@shimozu92]

YES! Mike's done it again; I started watching F1 this season and I'm hooked. Always love more F1 gameplay.

[@dee...]

I'm not even a fan of racing but I thoroughly enjoyed this video, especially the final few laps. So damn tense!!!! I was glued to the screen. Mike and Luke are a great team.

[@alec7568]

As someone who plays sim games like iracing almost religiously: lukes driving improved so much over the course of this video, well done 👍

[@sergentboucherie]

Fun fact, Le Circuit Gilles Villeneuve does not represent the state of our streets, the Montréal streets are mostly pot holes with some asphalt around them

[@yukimurasanada524]

I recently started watching F1 radios and highlights. I remember loving the show of the weekend where teacher Mike taught Luke about driving then heading to the go kart. Can say that I'm slowly getting into F1. Would love to do driving games with a wheel one day. Loved this video, felt the tension of the battle to defend your place and basically I felt like I was there with you two for some reason. Would love to have someone like Mike to teach me when I do get to play racing games. Marvelous work as always OXTRA!!!

[@skypaul24]

I think it is a testament to the quality of the game and this video that it felt pretty intense like an actual F1 race!

[@tawilk]

it was a tense race overall. it's actually more nail biting than watching other 'pro' streamers that do this all the time. it's good to see Luke learn and Mike give him advice along the way.

[@kookoo47]

I love Mike and Luke's budding love of motor sport together.

[@Wheat7588]

This was wonderful! Thanks guys! Always great to hear you both talk about F1.

[@GatorDunnAZ]

Just what I needed today, thanks!

[@Rudy-oh9wc]

I love all of the driving videos on the channel. I also have a passion for racing games and I absolutely love seeing others enjoy these amazing games.

I've played racing games for approx .... a million years. Mikes a legend.

Legitimately cheered around 43:28. This is great. Can we have more, please?

[@johannvongenerico9487]

"do it like normal" "Wait, what's normal?" Might be the most relatable thing I've heard xD

[@ABadassDragon]

Why was this so thrilling?! This was amazing, 50 minutes flew by like nothing

[@falsellama6181]

This is the best, we need more!

[@codysaxe2002]

Luke’s final exam? An actual in person race.

[@spinal_capped]

As a lifetime car fan, I’m so proud to see how far Luke has come! I’d love to see him try another discipline closer to my heart though… Any chance Luke has ever tried Dirt: Rally? It’s essentially the polar opposite, but I’d be so curious to see how well he’d adapt (I assume very).

[@good_fats]

Luke, the Ralph Macchio to Mike's Pat Morita, love to see it

[@bloodywolf9317]

Honestly have no interest in F1 but i was glued to this - very fun top listen to Mike and Luke talking F1 but also just those two playing games together is fun :)

[@Icam_here]

that was tense towards the end, glad that Luke was able to hang on

[@sleepytime999998]

My first car was a straight-six rear-wheel drive without ABS, and nearly 20 years later I still haven't unlearned pumping the brakes in adverse road conditions.

[@pumpkineder]

Genuinely enjoy these F1 vids and would welcome more!

[@the8wave]

This was surprisingly fun to watch as well as making me very tense on occasion lol.

[@themightythorgi2806]

Mike's mentoring of Luje is the wholesome entertainment the world needs.

[@99toon99]

Luke, Mike, as someone with zero interest in F1, that was absolutely captivating!

[@brocksisson7128]

So much respect for Luke and i'm only 7 minutes in. No ABS in the wet in Canada, I tip my hat to you good sir.

[@MrMBinder]

Give the multiplayer a go - it's absolutely filthy carnage

[@dee...]

You sold me with filthy carnage. I hope they do a multiplayer video.

[@zulubunsen9067]

Bit of armchair experting, but I think part of Luke's problem is that due to him turning ABS off he's now too afraid of braking too much and locking up. At the start of the braking zones he should apply much more and ease off the brakes gradually as he gets closer to the corner. Relative breaking power increases as the car gets slower so the chance of locking up increases -- but it's rather low at high speeds. This is something I struggle with as well and I've deliberately set myself a higher brake sensitivity to get a bit more braking than I would instinctively apply.

[@EPICNESS1122]

Genuinely love these and really want more

[@deGooder]

Fab stuff! Would love to see more driver school with Luke and Mike

[@mikebecker174]

Will Mike and Luke ever do a Co-op Team Career? If so, I would very much like to watch them give a season a try.

[@settle238]

Well obviously, you two should do a co-op career now! Even if you're not the same skill level, it would still be amazing to watch!

[@Conor2400]

Great work Luke! Well up for more of this. I want to see what the story mode is like?

[@krys42091]

Can we get more of these please, I recently got into F1 and this was properly entertaining!

[@Iversen83]

I know nothing about F1 (apart from what I've learnt listening to Mike), so why was this so tense!

[@KuueenKumi]

Here I was thinking they made a really good Luke-alike in the thumbnail and that's just the un-customizable career mode character.

[@grumble]

I'm so here for Racing Dads!! Making the heat wave bearable

During qualifying I was hoping for a Scooby Doo style "The ghost was old Mr Verstappen this whole time!"

[@ghostderazgriz]

That was 50 minutes? Felt like half that. I don't enjoy cars, but I enjoy Drive to survive and I really enjoyed this.

[@ilsahudson5911]

I would watch more of this!

[@bizzless2308]

Luke did awesome despite braking monstrously early the entire time

[@Septimus_ii]

That was more fun than most races!

[@zulubunsen9067]

The part with the fiddling about with the strategy made me anxious to the bone. I always hate navigating through the MFD and especially communication menus while driving about, it takes away an awful lot of attention. I don't get why at least in single player one doesn't have the option to pause to work on strategy (I'd love it if brake balance and differentials could be changed while paused, but baby steps first).

[@zachluetgers5932]

If you put a headset on there are a series of voice commands you can use. I had massive troubles trying to fiddle with the MFD and race at the same time. Now I just hit R1 and say "set mediums" and they'll switch it for you.
