George, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race - I don’t remember what race - he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?

[@decepticon219]

Can you repeat the question?

I read that into that guy's voice 😂.. Brilliant

George will be a future Sky presenter after F1 for sure

I kinda want to see him be a Top Gear presenter with Lando and Alex. lol

[@jaydunn2898]

[@davidchapman3042]

Considering his performances lately i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just testing how broadcasting is when he inevitably finds himself explaining the same video but without an actual merc seat.

​@@davidchapman3042 get a grip. people were saying the same thing of lewis when he was crashing all over massa over a decade ago... and look at him now. i literally don't get your bitter hate towards george.

I think he will also be a great commentator in 20 years!

[@aidan_3385]

That’s one of the reasons why he can join the Mercedes junior program 😂😂😂😂

[@PoYenTseng]

And he didn't bring his slides this time.

[@mikado8488]

[@zhengxu9976]

Guess that's part of the reasons Toto was sold

[@eagletrippin]

As a casual sim racer, I really appreciate George's explanations -- particularly of steering wheel settings -- very concise, and easy to understand for the layman.🙂 Cheers, mate.

[@_starter]

I can watch 3 hours of this and more, going through the whole car

[@daarom3472]

loving it. I love how George always keeps it lighthearted and doesn't take himself and the things he does too seriously.

[@WHALEx3]

I mean, sometimes he does get caught up in the moment when he's racing and very much gets a big head, but other than that yeah, I definitely agree with you, he's great.

[@viggosdeli]

UNLESS he is punching fellow driver after major crash?

[@endurovex7272]

because he takes pipe in both ends non stop

[@This_Is_Not_My_Username]

We need more deep technical discussions from drivers. It's great to see how much they actually know especially since most of the times they are speaking, it's answering the standard "how will you go out there?" unfulfilling questions that pretty much all media ask them.

[@TheSleepyOne1219]

The transitions😂 but honestly all the buttons are alot for me so i always love watching these videos to help

[@22NightWing]

7:02 is my favourite part of the video 🤣🤣

[@ameizymulima]

Mahnnn🤣🤣🤣😭

[@mikeway7207]

George is overwhelmingly likable 🤩

[@22NightWing]

i legit don't get why he gets so much abuse. he says some things over race radio that can be a bit firm... but that's the same with literally every driver, so why is he getting singled out over it?

[@ms9516]

@@22NightWingsome fans are just stupid, they like to hate on certain drivers but no matter the hate I know that George can keep his head focused and bring good results for the team. Hope he will do even better next year. He’s world champion material for me

[@12th.jahlil]

Till he starts talking at around 130mph

[@360Pros]

George is a good communicator and educator.

[@nematulahabdullah8091]

George was the best when explaining everything compare to other drivers.

[@f1greenlight]

Loved this , George wonderfully explains things. 👏 Great job.

[@guitarsimon1]

Love this but what is with the George sith-lord-boyband edit during the transitions? Had me and the missus cackling on Sunday 😂

[@tommywhistle]

He loves himself

[@joshfogas4272]

This was incredibly well done! George did an amazing job explaining these things in simple terms that an everyday person can understand. Very well done!

[@Franzino]

There was so much more about the steering wheel (like the different shift pedals); we only saw 50%...but still nicely explained :)

[@user-vk8kp7vi5j]

Since he explained the steering wheel and the race sit, I actually learned everything from what he said about them❤. This is a useful explanation George thank you for explaining this epic things about F1.

[@THTSound]

I imagine him, like Jenson Button or David Coulthard, or Rosberg.. After his retirement, taking post race interviews or commenting about the drivers.

[@Banyo__]

I knew all this information already, but I love that this information is put out there for newer fans to the sport. Everyone is new at some point and having the driver explain themselves these things, makes it interesting. Great way to connect with the fans.

[@NickCHB]

George explained this so well

[@ebenezermakinde8352]

The best and detailed explanation of the seat and steering works. Thanks George 👍

[@martynholmes2544]

Thank you for doing this George and great insight into the cars set up keep them coming!!

Never knew about the rescue clips good idea really! Actually quite good George is at explaining things

Thanks GR❤ good to see him as a teacher explaining cool tech stuff!

I was actually hoping to see George explains the "Magic Button". :D

[@HotelBravoWhiskey]

And the Jenson Button

Bro George killed it 😂. Super nice. Future instructor in the making. Super clear.

[@raymondrodriguez4144]

Mans did a phenomenal job. Smoothing voice, great explanations. He need a part two

Perfect explaination George. Thanks! Hope to see you winning some races next year. Top performer!

[@gribblegrobblegrabble]

He's a great presenter! Would love to see more of the drivers giving technical lessons.

[@Matt-hq9ds]

Love this from George! Also makes it even more insane that Grosjean managed to get out with out serious injury given he had to unbuckle 3 buckles in a fireball 🤯

[@anthonyhiett107]

thanks for explanation and good luck with the new season in W15

Really liked this one! I'm trying some new wheel setups on my racing-rig and this video gave me some new ideas. :)

All these buttons you need to press as your racing top speeds with instant reaction times must be mental

[@thomasgotting6105]

Thanks to Michael Schumacher, we have this many buttons today. in 1995 it was only a wheel with 3 or 4 buttons. From 1996 on, he got more and more buttons from year to year and every team copied it. Now we have space ships. Tbh, I would like to see the wheels with only 3 buttons again, so the drivers can concentrate on driving and fighting.

[@mclovin_tnt5617]

Incredible video ngl

[@CosmeJunior]

very cool

[@allena3430]

Best driver presenting the car since Jenson Button tbh

[@adamwhittingham86]

With the 6 connections for lifting the seat with driver in. How do they get the legs past the cockpit opening? Do they need to take the halo and some bodywork off?

Jesus that blew my mind😂😂😂😂

[@fikacantya4155]

he could be a great tutor lol

[@fredherfst8148]

Clearly not enough about the wheel, but this is the first time I found out what STRAT settings are used for. Lol…also, I had assumed semi automatic DRS deployment.. so the driver has to do this manually? And turn it off at the end? Fascinating.

[@alextrimble8481]

The DRS closes automatically as soon as the driver touches the brakes.

[@TinshipTravels]

I thought DRS was auto too, but that's probably from playing the F1 game.

[@PoYenTseng]

George didn't bring PowerPoint. Imagine if he did.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

He did,but they stole the flash drive and threw it away😊

[@durodesduvo8424]

Very interesting. It’s impressive how much brain capacity is required to do lap after lap and make all those wheel setting changes.

[@actonman7291]

good info nice display of gear and equipment however the modelling shots transitioning i found it irritating

[@BlueJazzBoyNZ]

Do the drivers have real time tyre temp's on the car.. ? on their display.

[@mrpudikin]

Scandalous!

[@openbabel]

Please could you tell us how Ai will effect test setups in the future ? Will an algorithm automatically learn the track and everything will be dependent on software in the car? or will it be sent to the cloud calculated and sent back to the car in milliseconds ? Is this a standard MAU function in the future? Will this be banned as it deskills the driver ?

0:02 bro cannot do driver intros to save his life 😂😂😂

[@javiergutierrez1031]

Pretty cool.

[@davejenvey3598]

That intro lol

[@adamwhittingham86]

Maybe im the only one. But i thought DRS was automated. The cars are so high tech and connected and there are DRS zones. So just presumed if you're within a second of the car ahead the DRS would activate? Only reason I could think of for not wanting it to open is if you're behind a teammate and team orders are to stay there? Any other reasons people can think of?

[@martinsmit2684]

What i find to be interesting is that when a steeringwheel is explained they never talk about the clutch and the biting point etc.
