  • From being primed and ready to jump in the F1 car at short notice, to soaking up all the engineering insights and bringing them to the simulator, there’s more to being a Reserve Driver than meets the eye.
    We caught up with Frederik Vesti in Australia to find out what he gets up to as one of our Reserve Drivers both at a Grand Prix and back at base.

      What…, he lost the title at Spa when he crashed by his own doing on the reconnaissance lap, Zandvoort when he spun it at T1, and Monza when he went for the stupid move on Stanek and took himself out, Pourchaire wasn’t as fast, but he was consistent as hell, something Vesti wasn’t, which is why he lost the title

      spa yes, but the other stuff is not true. His wheels fell off in zandvoort and the stanek fight was not vesti's fault it was a racing incident but you can blame that on vesti when he pushed onto the grass. Dude for sure deserves a f1 seat more than pouchaire @@notthefia9154

      Mercedes don't appear to be getting behind him or Mick for an F1 seat so if I were him, I would set my sights on another category.

    @nishilkakaya4068 Месяц назад

    The job for a reserve F1 driver is that they hope something happens to one of the main drivers so they can get a chance so that way they can put themselves on the radar and get a full time race seat and hopefully not end up like Nyck De Vries.

    • @pato10111
      @pato10111 Месяц назад +2

      I think they get paid very little as drivers until they are in an F1 car. I could be wrong and there are probably exceptions to the rule. Bearman said in an interview he was pretty broke.

    • @crystal8537
      @crystal8537 Месяц назад +2

      I think they r paid very little cos their salary is under cost cap... thatd why all these f2 drivers who became development or reserve drivers r seen as jobless

    I think on the w15, even with a replacement, you will show results indistinguishable from the current racers.🙃
