When Matt go to the drink topic , I remember
"THE DRINK IS IT ON OR NOT"
"NO KIMI NO , YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE DRINK SORRY"
Over used joke now
NEVER!
Well living in Singapore I am used to 35-37 degree weather at about 2pm.

Yuki's engineer: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!
why is that?
@@a4art758 Yuki is so hot headed meaning he gets pissed easily
@@a4art758 people only like it when certain drivers are pissy during a race
@The champion He is annoying af

I thought you would mention Keke Rosberg literally using a f**king Water-Cooled Helmet, as if he is one of the new RGB Water-Cooled Gaming PCs of today LOL. I think it was in Dallas.
Wasn't he borrowing some NASCAR tech?
Nah, he using 360mm AIO Liquid coolers from Corsair xD

Lando stays hydrated with milk
Kimi wants to hydrate but can't get the drink
By the time they finish I think Lando's milk has turned to butter...
How to keep Kimi cool:
Step 1: GIVE HIM THE DRINK!
Ferrari :" no Kimi no , you Will not have the drink , sorry"
kimi is always cool
an ice-cream too!
Even with the training, I'd die from humidity. It's not the heat that bad, it's the inability to breathe thinner air.
I live in a high desert climate at over 6,000 feet (1,800 Meters) and honestly, if your used to it. You can’t even tell.
@@rykerbrand4705 Yes, indeed. I maintain my room at a humidity of 70% and now feel uncomfortable in anything less. I prefer humid heat to dry heat.
@@unthenner5519 that sound awful
@@unthenner5519 that sounds awful but to each their own i guess
I race a pro late model, which is a stock car, and it messes with you. Firstly, you have very little to no air to cool you. Second, it gets very hot in those cars. And lastly, you are constantly breathing in gas and exhaust fumes, which makes you nauseous and lightheaded
WTF1: How Do F1 Drivers Stay Cool In REALLY Hot Temperatures?
WTF1: They dont.
'F1 drivers exercise with racing suits on to acclimatize'
George Russell : 'watch my abs bruh'
Fun fact: Lando never drinks during a race
@@Artiick wot? The drink canister is at the front nose of the cockpit, around where the front wing and monocoque connected
The drink is at the front of the car in the nose but it still gets hot very quickly, which is one of the reasons he said he doesn’t do it.
Yeah he's underage
I have heard somewhere damon used to put cold tea in bag and get hot tea during the race
@@gachaharemseries2029 from what i know its set right under the back of the drivers so its close to their mouths.
you dont want an unnecessarily long tube from the front wing to the drivers mouth when you could just put it under the seat.
Matt: I will literally combust at the slightest hint of 30° temperatures
Me, a Southeast Asian: *I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you*
Haha. 30C is like moderate summer where I live
heat is so normal in southeast asia, especially over here in the philippines, that it's to the point you'd probably see a man chilling on his porch drinking a fresh cup of coffee and maybe having some soup on a sunny day
@@anonymousarmadillo6589 It's not even the heat, the humidity is the one killing me.
laughs in humid 40C temperatures
@@rizkyanandita8227 you know what's worse than humidity. 40+ degrees of heat and almost no humidity. 🤒
My brain: Car goes Vroom, so the air comes Zoom
(drivers cool down with the breeze is what I used to think)
In WRC some teams sacrificed some of the engine power to install AC in the cars for exceptionally hot rallies. In Cyprus for example Peugeot opted to install one and won the rally because it would allow drivers to concentrate more on the driving. Granted Cyprus is not known for it's power needs but it's also known for its soaring temperatures. In the summertime this year it reached 46C air temp.
I think they are using a separate purely electric powered Ac unit inside the car with water suit like touring car.
46°? In cyprus? I live in Lebanon, we have never got something above 37° AIR, and most of the time it will be 31° in the summer. I think that sensor was dark colored or metallic, because you get a lot more ° if you aren't in the shadows.
@@antoniohagopian213 Lebanon is not as hot
Just take a glance at Kimi and you will be cool.
"No Kimi you will not have the drink"
"No, Kimi! You will not have the drink!"
What drink? 😁
3:47 Who else pictured Leclerc driving around with Matt on his lap?
Speaking of the GOAT, how the hell Fangio managed to win 5 titles with cars that had V12, 4 wheels and almost circle steering wheel with no safety belt and he was 50's when he won his last title ?
How fast the car get 0-100 and vice versa. Cause that's G-force in play.
Matt when he gets internally combust: *Jeff speaks* "Our MGU-H failed.."
They should hold 1 race at a track when theres freezing near snow conditions , maybe studded tyres and all
Put some chains on them tyres and go rally racing at finland 😂😂
Finish grand prix
@@HollowHeretic Yes indeed it is better to finish a GP than to not finish it
Antarctica GP
1976 USGP at Watkins Glen it snowed on Saturday night. It was fine though because safety hadn't been invented yet so they still went racing. 👌
In this sense, if the Brazilian GP changed to Rio, drivers would be stopping the car, passing out from the heat or simply not racing.
If drivers did pass out in the 80's and the highest temperature recorded in Rio was 42°c back then, now the record from November 2015 is 49°c, but sensations of about 55°c, deeming it "hottest city on earth" for some years in a row. And lots and lots of humidity.
If 30°c get drivers to cool, you don't want to witness what regular daily summer 45°c can do to you.
Still nothing compared to a NASCAR Cup car. Guys like Kimi and Montoya can attest to that.
HUEHUEHUEEEEEEE
This is one place nascar is ahead, they have firesuits that have water running through them to cool down the driver
True, but NASCAR isn't nearly as concerned about trimming weight to fully optimize overall weight and weight balance. If it were a true concern for the drivers, we'd see them insist on something like this, although I think they'd put mini air scoops to divert a touch more air into the cockpit (like indycar) before adding kilograms of weight to the car. Just my thought on the matter though. Who knows, maybe F1 will adopt a hybrid that weighs next to nothing but does the same thing (somehow)...
well in nascar you can put another 10-15 degrees on top of the temp since a stock car is monumentally hotter than an open wheel car.
That water will certainly add weight to the driver which is severely gonna affect performance. In stock cars weight isnt that important. So they're not ahead, F1 just cant do that
Even our national stuff does this in Australia. Even state level motorsport guys have cool suits. It's jot just NASCAR. Very good idea though.
How many kilos would you add though
"Make sure you stay hydrated, mate."
Well, I expected 1984 Dallas GP to show up as an example. Disappointed that it didn't make it, but cool stuff anyway ❄
Yeah, with the heat index at 41C in my country last summer. I was curious to why this was possible.
WTF1:How do f1 drivers stay cool in really hot temperatures?
Kimi:Bwoah..... Drink
Great video. Keep up the good work.
Max: Verstapen
Lewis: Hamilton
Kimi: Drink
Binoto: S🅱️Inala
Hotel: Trivago
LANCE : STROLL
These weeks in Italy the temperatures are skyrocketing: here the median is 35°C to 40°C, with peeks of 47/48°C. In a month time hopefully they'll lower, otherwise it might be very hot for the GP
Edit: The weather forecast indicates there might be a lot of storms and a massive amount of rain in September, maybe we will finally get a wet race in the season
kimi's drink has evaporated so that's why he wont have it
I sweat plenty when driving in sim racing and that is indoor. I can't imagine how F1 drivers manage to stay sane with that kind of heat.
0:53 For me, it’s more like 75°F (24°C) when I start melting, but then my wife is fairly certain I was a polar bear in a past life. AND, to make matters worse, I live in the sweltering sauna that is Houston, TX -- thank god for the invention of ventilated seats!!!
1:02 turbo: am I a joke to you
F1 Drivers can bear the physical heat but not the heat during the Raceday.
Mazepin be like - we have a sauna!
Good prep work for the heat is going to Death Valley, CA. Or anywhere in the American southeast near the coastal areas.
Matt: "This game can be played with keyboard or controller"
Me: "Oh, I thought I was looking at a 2015 mobile game"
I used to race and as is hot on racetrack (also dark tarmac is a big factor) you simply forget while you racing about any heat.
Hello WTF1
Excuse me for bringing this back up but its not driver bashing for a change .
While debating "that incident" we came up with a possible solution
Have overtaking track limits on FAST dangerous corners marked as 2 lines on the track (like a pit entrance/exit is).
If you cross them while level with someone entering the corner you get a significant penalty as its a fast corner (like track limits).
So if both cars entering a corner are sufficiently alongside (not necessarily ahead)
The inside car must not touch the outside line and the outside car must not touch the inside line.
That should enforce a car width is left for either car and penalise any cars entering the corner too hot unable to leave space.
What do people think of that?
60°, that's shorts weather in MN!
Thank you DC for the ice vest.
If you've ever experienced Australian summer, 30°C weather is good and 25°C is a god send
I had to convert to F (in Austin Texas) to see that Matt's 30C is only 86F so that's an awesome summer day. In August, usually it's closer to 95-100F+ or 35-38C. When it gets towards the 70s (21C) I pull out a hoodie or sweatshirt. The humidity here also gets you.
@@F1Swiftie Aussie weather is always trying to kill you. Temperature wise we have either Stupid hot or Stupid cold. In 2019/20 we Had Firestorms, Hail Storms, Flash Flooding, Cyclones landing, Extreme Winds, Drought, Tornados and Drystorms galore. So if the temperature doesn't kill you, the wrath of nature will.
Bro u really deserve 10 mil subs for ur videos
Sweat & water are not quite the same density, but losing 3kg in sweat is (roughly) equal to losing 3 litres of body fluid.
Body fluid comes in two forms, ICF & ECF (Intra & Extra, Cellular Fluid, respectively).
Sweat directly draws from ECF, but when ECF is partially depleted it begins to draw on ICF by osmosis, which in turn can lead to cellular damage.
This is why you get cracks and sores on the skin when dehydrated. A 3 litre loss in 90 mins, is quite serious for a 70 to 100 kg person. This is why they need a drink bottle in the car, even if the drink is warm, it's important to hydrate.
The last time I was that early to something Rebulls engineers still fixed Max‘s car on the grif
In the more dominant years of Ferrari they used to have a small optional cooling duct in the nose of the car to circulate air through the cockpit in Malaysia.
It would be an easy thing fir the FIA to mandate.
Ahaha more than 30 degrees if you stand out in the Singapore sun it frequently goes past 40 degrees and it’s normal to reach ~47 degrees in cars
Anything above 25 degree's and i'm complaining endlessly, I can't handle heat. I don't know how people cope in hot countries. When i'm working I much prefer freezing cold than 30+ degrees.
My God that is like the perfect temperature
You acclimatise to the temperature.
...and I'm a baby in cold temps. Anything lower than 21C and I'm in a jacket. (Austin TX). Perfect summer temp for me would be around 30C. It's closer to 32-38C here during August.
what I need that Nürnberg ring rollercoaster I mean during a race :d
In some regions in India we survive 45-50°C for almost 10days during summer..
In formula e there is also a pole for getting a fan boost.
As a Greek, I could withstand the heat of racing in the Summer but not the cold weather of Germany in October
Ice baths stop microtears of muscles bleeding. When we do anything which would leave you feeling (and occasionally looking) like you've done 10 rounds with a heavyweight champion the following day, that's mainly down to these tears (that's tears as in rips, not crying!) which bleed a little. It's nothing serious - you won't lose blood like you would with a "proper" wound - but you will hurt: if you've ever done anything really hard on your body, you know what it's like. So by getting into an ice bath after training, or "just" driving (as opposed to running a marathon), will make most, if not every muscle contract enough to stop the bleeding, and thereby reducing the amount of pain they'd be in for the next few days.
Him talking about 30° being hot while im watching from where ot 48° in the shodow lol
Would like to see an f101 on why f1 cars dont backfire but f2 do
I liked and subbed
My body shrivelled up just watching this
I live in Dubai and right now it’s 45 degree plus
I'm from Mumbai (India) most of the time it is 25 30 degree, in summer reaching 35+
I think we would be able to bear it.
With temperatures set to rise further because we can't/won't fix our planet, some countries on the calendar will be a no-go due to excessive heat in the cockpit.
I'm so glad that when the Indian GP took place, it was winters because in summers we go 46 degrees C no shit
Growing up whenever I’d drive karts I wore hoodies out in the summer heat and didn’t even feel the heat
So that's why Kimi wants his drink so much
I live in Phoenix, Arizona. The heat isn't the problem. It's the humidity that would kill me
Matt can’t even drink coffee without putting it in the fridge
F1 isn’t the only Motorsport that this happens to, NASCAR’s series witness this too, because they have closed cockpits
Nice table
on one unboxed, they sprayed some kind of 'cooling solution' on the shirt and trousers
"I'n revv racing you have complete control of your car and will need to: accelerate brake and steer"
How did you figure that one out matt
Kimi has a good answer for this
here in qatar, the average summer temperature is almosr 50 degrees
Channel they’re inner Kimi.
*Kimi suffering from dehydration.
Ferrari engineer: "You mean da slaw batton?"
4:23 yes cause where im from 30 - 40 deg is a norm everyday
3:53 No Kimi you will not have the drink
30° is a normal day in my city lol
I can’t understand. Can u please use freedom units?
What I did to keep cool at Silverstone, fill my hat with cold water when filling my bottle up and put it on my head. Worked a treat
3:47 lmao someone clip that
NASCAR chilling with 51°C average cockpit temps…
...and in race cool suits with cooling hoses dumping air conditioning to the drivers helmets...
Good thing they train themselves
@Matt you should try to come to Denmark when temperatures are around 25 degrees. It will change your look on how hot 30 degrees is.
Ps. Bring a cooling vest
wait is that a roller coaster at the nurburing
what about during the actual race? is there anything they can do in the car?
Verstappen vs Hamilton is not gonna be cool anymore
Rev racing gives me rich energy vibes
I raced a old F3 car in Dubai in 42 Degrees and it was fine while driving.
i see some drivers have a tube that blows nitrogen i think at them in the garage, may i know what is that called or its use?
Touring car and endurance racing drives get an electric powered Ac unit inside the car connected to the driver's water suit to cool them down.
F1 drivers are always COOL !!!
30° doesn't sound so bad here in the States 😂😜
By giving them the White Visor ofc.
Answer is: Be Kimi
"Sorry Kimi you will not have the drink"
@@javieryeo4032 "No Kimi, you will not have the cooling"
Matt: “I start to internally combust at the slightest hint of 30º”
Me a southern Spaniard: ._.
Can I ask a favor? °f as well pls. Ive got a good feel for kph-mph but °c-°f is still difficult. I know America does it all wrong but nothing I can do to change it, I just gotta learn both ☹️
I needed this for myself, as well. I used a C to F converter online. 30C = 86F, 32C = 90F, 35C = 95F, 38C = 100F.
This is me on a summers night😅
In Kimi's biography is a part, where his physio Mark Arnell told, that Kimi wears a frozen shirt for extremly hot races like Malaysia in this... This would help to cool the Iceman for extra 30 minutes 😃
Interesting. I thought they had AC suits and AC blowing into helmet, too.
I would also retire due to sweat in my eyeballs 😂
How does a tyre blanket work?
Is that true that Lando is not using drink during the race ? I remember a video where he said that he hates drink during the race because the water is hot.
Thanks
In Supercars, drivers can use both cool suits and helmet fans to keep them cool during the race.
NICE 😁
As a native Floridian runner, yes. ….put me in, coach?
now i realize that "you will not have the drink" could've actually put kimi's life in danger, since he would potentially ger dehydrated at some point
