"This is how close I can go, now I need to pull out." - Nico Hulkenburg, 2016.

[@isaacchua0405]

SharpWalkers lol

[@HexxuSz]

dayyyyyyyyyyyyym

[@mauricioespejo6125]

I always was told you look one apex ahead. You spot it and start looking for the next one while you are hitting the current one?

[@user-us2tx4ce8i]

Anyone has any idea of what CAMERA is he using to film his eyes? That's a TREMENDOUS shot!!

[@1TCTERRA]

Wow that's amazing that there looking from apex to apex! I thought they'd be looking at the sky or the trees in a paddock of the side of the track.

[@yjcontent]

are you reffering someone :D

[@jameslewis9968]

lol the commentator is such an idiot

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Ted is a fucking moron.

[@Testiclist]

Yeah, he's exaggerating and missing so many things. Like how Hulkenberg is actually looking at the green button shortly before he presses it between 4:55 and 4:56. Very briefly but he still does.

[@LarsAgerbk]

how about a full lap viewed from these glasses

[@bump_draft]

Incredibly frustrating--you didn't show a more than a couple of corners at a time!

[@priceless3020]

And the huge pink dot blocking the view.

[@baassie123]

Hahaha, it's all about that dot. It exactly points where his focal point is looking :').

[@philipjkb15]

baassie123 u and all the 16 people who upvoted your comment clearly missed the joke

[@andrejrockshox]

wow! he can press a button without looking at it! amazing!

[@timschellekens3253]

thats basically gaming

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

100% sorcery

[@XXOAPTRAGEDY]

You're not travelling at 200MPH when you're gaming though.

[@timschellekens3253]

Conor Naranjo depends on which game ur playing

[@nevillej]

Conor Naranjo you don't even change buttons at 200mph and straightaways don't need buttons except shifting gears and lower gears at corners

[@richardj5023]

I bet a gamer has similar reaction's

[@MrKusoyaro]

Ye. In a completly different situation.

[@FiNiTe_weeb]

Richard Hargreaves Only top level gamers in games that need h good reaction times, I wish someone would make a similar kind of video for CS:GO.

[@Moonbreaker97]

i as a gamer have a reaction time of about 250ms, but under 100 is really impressive

[@FiNiTe_weeb]

Moonbreaker97 I have similar, best is 210+ and avg of 250ms.

[@Paul-zp7sh]

thats not actual reaction time though , as they have lights to help them indicate when the green light is coming

[@GMMephisto]

That's exactly where i look when playing F1. I didn't even knew that was suposed do look at the apexes, is instinctive.

[@still_guns]

You stole this from the force india channel

[@BasyaBowling]

lol savage

[@sik59rt]

its actually Sky Sports video

[@KendraEstherHamilton]

Nobody cares

[@sporkeh90]

So its not on their channel anymore? Thats horrible! Do the cops know the footage is missing? Somebody should tell youtube to give it back!!

[@still_guns]

Uh, the Force India channel wasn't stolen, the footage was reuploaded here without their permission.

[@jameslewis9968]

this dude talk like only F1 drivers are capable of having racing instinct.

[@1gianny]

I can react to the lights almost as quickly as he reacted. That's not that unhuman.

[@jameslewis9968]

+Galaxy05 lol and he makes it seem like we don't look for apexes and stuff. there are levels between an F1 fan who is inexperienced at racing fundamentals, an experienced racer who never had opportunity at F1, and an F1 driver. I'm sure all viewers of this video isn't just some everyday uncoordinated fan.

[@javiervalles2544]

butthurt guy that never got a shot to show his talent. Sorry man. I never even got a chance to jump in a kart. :/

[@jameslewis9968]

I still have a shot lol. you should try getting out into some karting leagues. they are much fun

[@adelachaudh2416]

They aren't, but the point is that all the F1-drivers are at this level and that makes it insane. They're all this fast...

[@m0r73n]

''F1 driver only need 100ms to identify objects in mirror vs normal driver needs 500ms'' I just got to say that its two very different things because streets are much more complex and can contain 100s of different objects while a racetrack is very minimalistic and the only thing you need to identify is other cars, not bicycles, animals or people.

[@SaqrBahili-sj6sg]

exactly!! if you try to look within 100ms you won't be able to have a full visualization of whats's available since its just not only about knowing if there is something or not + what is the issue with spending 500ms to get a more complete look of things( i bet he does that when he drives) so thats not an element of comparison its not a valid point. Myself, i've never seen anybody who can visualize and have situational awareness on the road like i do + i left foot brake very precisely.

[@tommythetreat000]

Amazing in helmet, eye level views. I cant believe how little of the track he can see. Pretty cool how you can see the shift lights without having to look down at all.

[@JosePerez-fw1dm]

I'm not a racer but I think he just go by sound when he shifts gear

[@username666galadrihm6]

+Jose Perez true that

[@CharlesHolmesTalk]

Modern F1 cars have a beep sent to the drivers headphones when at the right place to change gear.

[@username666galadrihm6]

+Charlie h that is optional.. Most of them shift by engine sound

[@WelshSwan1986]

Nico is more than welcome to try out my apex's at any time, any place!

[@rizkiyoist]

I can react faster than 100 ms when my mom get into my room while I was watching porn. I can just feel it.

[@MrCatseyes01]

people that play video games have a higher than average reaction time. I don't claim to be as great as a f1 driver but I drive a excavator and I know my reaction times are fast...

[@MrCatseyes01]

not faster than a f1 driver though! ... olo

[@FoxtrotGolfLima]

MrCatsEyes I think people that play video games consistently have a harder time focusing for long periods of time.

[@MrCatseyes01]

Fabian Leiva that may be a possibility especially with mundane tasks as gamers brains aren't stimulated the way a video game can , none the less gamers still have a quicker reaction time compared to " average people"

[@leotrinds]

Don't worry, you probably have a good spatial inteligence, its just not trained to F1 because you don't practice it. Some people will always be better at somethings and that is why only a few are F1 drivers, but to say things that they have a "super sense" and that "mere mortals like us could never do" is just total sensationalist bullshit that this kind of videos ALWAYS bring up, thats just not how neuroscience works.

[@Sabba7h]

MrCatsEyes what about people who play F1 2016

[@XenonFrobscottle]

This reporter would probably shit himself if he saw a drag racer react under 0.01s

[@bustinjieber9539]

If you have to look for the button to start your car after 5 years of owning it then something is wrong with you. Why is pressing the neutral button without looking at it so amazing?

[@jendabekCZ]

I would like to see this with rally drivers, especially to find out whether (or not) they notice spectators, flags or any other distracting things. They also have to analyze the road surface much more I think.

[@SaadKidwai]

We live in an amazing time, where gamers born in the 80's and 90's are now in their 20-30's and have been playing simulation games for over a decade. And they know they have much better hand eye coordination, faster reaction times and quicker processing of data than non gamers. And the ability to track multiple targets at once, react to their peripheral vision, we know what we can do. Not a single gamer watching this didn't know exactly what F1 drivers focus and look for, not to mention the massive amounts of information Ted didn't cover.

[@Paul_The_Spaceman]

Thinking too much about things at that speed would only fuck you up.

[@schwalli1234]

really amazing thanks for upload now we have a real pov in a f1 car

[@DMS16]

thanks for make this video.... ive been all my life waiting a video who shows the eye vision in a f1 cockpit.... Its possible to intruduce this technology in the f1 races in the future? it will be amazing

[@v8nquish]

This is something that I have always wanted to see, I just did not know how to put it into action. Thank you

[@DownforceInc]

So cool! Thank you for posting!

[@curtisjordan9210]

A visual reaction should actually take longer for the brain to process than audio, he is superhuman.

[@kobayashimaru8114]

I want to see this with a MotoGP rider and then an Isle of Man TT rider

[@paulhartmann3239]

2:30 the tires at the are very damaged

[@FoxtrotGolfLima]

Paul Hartmann they can't spare new tires for a demo. Too expensive

[@paulhartmann3239]

Yeah i know but this is very dangerous too

[@sarptetikel9341]

Paul Hartmann actually its not because a driver of his level of experience will take into account anything ranging from the dirt on the track to the wear of the tyres so he very well knows the breaking efficiency as well as the cornering speed limits of the car.

[@errflow]

fascinating.

[@curva130r]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Meige24]

Thx for config of pov in my f1 2016 first person cam

[@Lnaylor16]

I get the same reaction when I'm pulling away from traffic lights

[@TheBarnem13]

Very interestkng

[@matthewcandler4179]

that was insightful

[@DKSimulationGaming]

great video!

[@DanielDimov358]

So incredible!

[@klauskarlkraus]

can you do this on real race drivers? i am talking rally drivers

[@Wobogy]

I'm sure rally drivers do mostly the same as what f1 drivers do. When it comes to looking around I'd expect F1 to be more cautious of other vehicles nearby than rally drivers just because it's open wheel.

[@klauskarlkraus]

Wobogy well racing through a forest with 170km/h on gravel on a road that is just as wide as your car not absolutely knowing where to go is quiet different I think

[@N75911_]

Rally is a whole different ballpark. F1 is about top speed and maximizing grip. While Rally is about consistency and quick decision making in a hostile environment.

[@Wobogy]

True. It would make sense for them to watch the terrain much more since F1 drivers can usually count on the terrain being perfect or otherwise marked by bright borders that peripheral vision can pick up easily. But whatever you race with you typically watch the apex for most of the turn even on a narrow road. As soon as the co-driver reads it out I bet that's exactly where their eyes go. They also probably don't look much at their instruments and just have a running count of what gear they're in.

[@lexus4tw]

You don't how it is to drive an F1 car and consider them as fake drivers :D You would crush the car immediately

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

In Rallying I think you can´t look from corner to corner. You have to switch entirely to your periphal vision. I think thats one of the reasons F1 drivers are not likely to be good rally drivers. But thats just a guess

[@nmrb9371]

Welcome to Renault nick!

[@Dumdum888888]

Why is ted a part of F1.

[@mecorodriguez4639]

3:36 yeah ok look at alonsos start on the right

[@philarthur3217]

Well I have to pull out now

[@bradleyporter5454]

I do this every time I drive

[@gopi6162]

that's dangerous in the public

[@krtmddhs]

4:40 Didnt he cut a big ass corner?

[@DarkDemise6066]

I know this is like 6 months old, but did you see how worn his tires are?

[@vjollila96]

is there footage for whole lap from this??

[@N75911_]

probably like 10 seconds off pace lmao

[@Gabo_Gatchava]

would be interesting with Paddock girls there...I bet reaction time will be above human ability

[@NeneBog]

Thank god there wasnt pit girls imagine the awkwardness

[@spiritwolf5792]

Why would you need to identify an object in the rear mirror when you just need to check that nothing is coming up? X3

[@diruibal97]

done

[@Russiaconnect]

Крутая штука

[@iforgothisname2564]

I do this in Forza

[@davidashcroft5602]

ive driven on that track😆

[@DylanvdBerg]

his reaction on the lights was well shitty

[@tomhaden7386]

...

[@D0d0Dada]

yeah his reaction time was pretty bad. really good drivers, like you, they feel when the light turns green and just go, they dont have any reaction time.

[@themcshits6766]

no way it's under .1 seconds that's rediculous

[@RainingDarkChocolate]

Does he not know how to iron his shirt..

[@isaks3243]

i have tried my reaction time and i am at about 180 milliseconds

[@awfulaim912]

Isak kerman 180 is about average. it takes time for your finger to mechanically push down and for the signal to travel. if you have a tap to click TouchPad then it should come down to 150

[@paddymills]

look where your going, look far down the road.

[@petergao6998]

Why do you keep converting 100ms to one tenth of second? Anyone on the planet feel more comfortable on one tenth of second rather than 100ms?

[@connorhart5810]

advocate pro so analysis license retain flavor toss none due front.

[@MartinBuzon]

League of legends players can tell the diference between 50 and 8 milliseconds. Ain't That superhuman?

[@FelixMediaBoard]

30 min only to explain the start eye progress hahaha

[@RomanZerstoren]

When i see a sexy chick my eyes are moving from her boobs to her back for 0.0001 second.

[@limun9848]

What is this shit?

[@adamberkeley2127]

Supersense my ass. Doing anything from 9 years old will do that.

[@palonazo]

What a stupid video... they ran out of ideas.

[@spiritwolf5792]

This video is lame X3
