It’s an expert roundtable as F1 and NASCAR unite

Scuderia Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz share their current and dream cars with NASCAR’s Joey Logano, in a Shell Motorsport family sit down.

They each probably made at least a million dollars for it. At least it was better than the yikes they made last year.

*At least* Shell is trying to make this same old conversation selling themselves through the drivers seem more interesting with a conversational style. Last year, they were two clicks away from holding up a Shell Logo to the camera and grinning while the light hits their teeth just right.

[@markkuri6657]

Right I would rather have PR like this. Even the obvious shell talk "How are they supporting you" was interesting.

[@EllaGP22]

yeah i agree, even though half this video was completely scripted and very ironic with Shell talking about sustainability, it did feel more natural than before.

[@Banyo__]

@EllaGP22 can we even see Hamilton doing this type of promo with Charles next year?? 🤔 Don't think he does this type of stuff at Merc anymore, so I'm interested to see if he'll have to toe the line or if that contract is a tight no.

Because it’s totally true. Put an f1 driver in nascar and he’ll run in the rear and same vice versa. 2 very different things

NASCARs don't even sit evenly most of the time to account for all the banking and same-direction turns on ovals. Imagine an F1 car that was noticeably squatted to one side what that would do to the aero.

[@corystansbury]

I've always said he strikes me as one of the very best car development drivers on the grid. He and Albon always give a lot of insight in interviews. I think Max is very good as well, but there are often so many distractions at any time that the interviews focus on those, instead.

[@fatjeff8083]

As much as is made of how superior F1 technology is, Charles and Carlos seem impressed by the details of what Joey does. Especially the short practice and length of NASCAR races.

[@tstuff1213]

Gosh man, if you ever are interested look into some of the engineering details from previous eras. Nascar used to be like F1 but more behind closed doors which fortunetly more of that is coming out now. Teams were striving for every little bit working in and out of the rules just making huge revolutionary jumps. Using ground effect and skewing the bodys and chassis like all this super neat stuff when you get into it. Nascar for safety and mainly for cost has cut alot of that out teams were spending millions and honestly more than they were making some years just to get an advantage. Nascar deemed it unsustainable and axed it. But I promise you there are still engineering things behind closed doors searching for any and all edges they can get. Most though is in secret because it might be outside the rulebook

[@marklittle8805]

NASCAR is full of guys who are wizards at finding minute improvements that seem like nothing but add up cumulatively. Teams used to do things that would make no sense to the lay person that would allow the cars to react in the wind to settle them down. Off set bodies, skewed chassis. NASCAR is more spec now but they still look for any and all edges. The engineering challenge is different, but not less.

[@pebbie]

I could watch an entire 2 hour podcast of this, genuinely so interesting

[@charlieboyd4431]

first time ever i heard a f1 drivers say ovals are hard. thank you for recognizing the skills of different discipline

[@justinburley8659]

It’s a regular comment from these guys. They just don’t have a reason to talk about it often. Drivers always have respect for other disciplines

[@ScuffedJax]

Yeah Max had said how hard it is to do that when he’s on iracing

[@mhrcracing]

they're paid by their sponsor to play nice in the video. but make no mistake, there is zero respect for the redneck circle

[@callmeshaggy5166]

NASCAR ovals have been noted by F1 drivers as difficult going at least back to Juan Pablo Montoya. In fact, I don't recall a one that said they were easy. Not even Kimi Raikkonen.

[@ProxiProtogen]

Not a single F1 driver have said ovals are easy. The toxic fan base f1 has on the other hand...

[@RobertHarridge]

Some NASCAR drivers were in Vegas for the Grand Prix, but I would love to see some F1 drivers at the Daytona 500. Completely different disciplines, but seeing those cars going 190mph in a 40 car pack, 3 wide, inches from each other’s doors, pushing each other, using the air to slow the car next to you… it’s really insane. As a fan, it’s crazy to watch a pack go around a track 2.5 miles around in about 48 seconds.

[@karanagarwal999]

He'd fit fine. Alex Albon & Estaban Ocon will be the tallest drivers starting 2024 at 1.86m (6'1 - George Russell is also 6'1 but "just" 1.85m) And I believe these current-gen cars held a 6'4 driver at one point, though I can't remember who.
