At this point I’m so used to seeing pro. Vs. anti movements that for a second I thought these were “people pro-driving” answering questions and I thought to myself “not another divisive movement smh” lmao

Many of these answers are pretty lame. They either barely scratch the surface or are speculation. I like it when experts really dig into the questions.

Yeah, it was a little disappointing, we turned it off after 5 questions. They should have picked a handful of the MOST asked questions and then the hosts could really go into detail.

Why would you not get f1 drivers to answer questions about f1? This is like getting a heart surgeon to answer questions about brain surgery. Yes the person is still a doctor but he doesn’t specialize in the specific topic ur asking him about. 🤦♂️

wassupbi yo yeah we don’t want to see these women most people have never heard of. We weren’t expecting legends like Lewis Halmilton and Max Verstapen but we expected them to be actual F1 top drivers
Moobeus
July 29, 2020 at 2:26 pm
wassupbi yo there is a big difference between f1 and f2. That’s like saying their is no difference between college basketball and the NBA. Would you be ok with some random college basketball player to come on and answer the webs most searched questions about the NBA?? Lmfao, honestly disrespectful to f1 drivers to even suggest something like that.

I’m confused as to why they’re both answering questions about F1 despite not racing in F1

Well they got knowledges, experience and all
Moobeus
July 29, 2020 at 2:29 pm
Tempered Fate right but would you be ok with a college ball player answering questions about the NBA, or a stage actor answering questions about acting in movies? Ofcourse not. Because even though the general profession is the same the circumstances of employment are completely unrelated.

Some of the questions make me think that this is a publicity stunt by the FIA. Is Formula One the fastest? The greatest? The bestest?

where are the pro drivers and when are they gonna ask them the questions
A.F. Whitepigeon
July 30, 2020 at 3:43 am
These people absolutely are professionals, they’re just not F1 drivers, though Tatiana Calderon is only one step away, being an F2 driver and a test driver in F1. They’re both still world-class drivers, though I do think the F1-focused questions were a little out of their wheelhouses.
codytyran
July 30, 2020 at 3:45 am
A.F. Whitepigeon it was just a joke about women not being good at driving
A.F. Whitepigeon
July 30, 2020 at 4:09 am
@codytyran But why would you make that joke? Women are plenty good at driving, but relatively few of them are encouraged to pursue it as a profession. While these two people may not be as qualified to talk about F1 as other hosts might have been, their presence is an attempt by WIRED to alleviate this problem. By making a joke at their expense, you are undermining that message.
codytyran
July 30, 2020 at 5:44 am
A.F. Whitepigeon thats why it’s called a “joke”, i’m not being serious

You can tell that people are jerks because of all the thumbs down on a really informative and interesting video? Or is that just because they don’t race F1?

July 30, 2020 at 3:34 am
8:45 – “Why did Formula One change to V6?”
“Probably the sound. Everyone loves the sound of a V6 engine note, don’t they.”
I love deadpan humor.
Andrew Hendrycks
July 30, 2020 at 6:18 am
Unbelievably low effort. I watch F1 sparingly, and I could’ve answered these questions much better and some answers were blatantly wrong. I’d love to see Formula 1 pros answer Formula 1 questions, especially considering it was only on a video call. Could’ve even gotten an ex F1 driver.

love how wired gets known people for all their other videos but then gets random fia drivers that don’t even drive in the right championship. They sound like ordinary fans answering questions about F1. So disappointing.
