    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

    How Formula 1 works? Like.. racing? What kind of question is that?

    Great video and great to see two female racers answering the questions.

      and getting a big portion of them wrong lol

    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.

    • Worker Bee Supply

      July 28, 2020 at 10:19 pm

      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.

    • STDxDyslexicLube

      July 28, 2020 at 10:50 pm

      It’s what happens when you get two no names answering questions instead of people at the pinnacle of their profession

    • Zeus The Cade

      July 28, 2020 at 11:33 pm

      Should’ve invited Lando instead

    • Luna

    2 drivers answering f1 questions who have never raced for f1 or even possess super license needed for being f1 driver🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    • Adi_K

      July 28, 2020 at 9:18 pm

      Plus Tatyana alone is pulling whole concept and energy of video down. She’s like that kid who doesn’t know any answers in viva and just empty stares at wall or at teacher.

  19. Pedramo

    Where are the pro drivers?

    July 28, 2020 at 9:55 pm

    They surely are better at racing than telling jokes!

  23. Moobeus

    July 28, 2020 at 10:58 pm

    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. 🤦‍♂️

    • Enrique 1

      July 29, 2020 at 1:25 pm

      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.

    • Moobeus

      July 29, 2020 at 2:26 pm

      wassupbi yo also “everything is the same except the race structure and car models” the race structure and car models ARE EVERYTHING LMFAO!!

    • Rafael Lima

      July 29, 2020 at 4:27 pm

      Agree… Disrespectful to f1!

    • Enrique 1

      July 29, 2020 at 5:06 pm

      Moobeus right? Like this guy has never seen an f1 and f2 race or anything

  24. Mr.bank220

    July 28, 2020 at 11:19 pm

    Are they asking us these questions? I’m sure they’re great drivers but they don’t seem like they knew that much about the details of formula1

  25. hiphopstar765

    July 29, 2020 at 12:02 am

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

    • Tempered Fate

      July 29, 2020 at 11:08 am

      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.

    • robbthewolfking

  29. IceTea275

    Not driving in F1 but answering questions about it … makes sense XD

    • Akash Jayanthan

      July 29, 2020 at 12:16 pm

      Kinda true, but isn’t Calderon testing for alfa romeo?

  34. Alex Centurion

    July 29, 2020 at 6:32 am

    Were real F1 drivers to busy for this? Even Lance Stroll would have been closer to a real F1 driver than these 2

  35. 6548R

    July 29, 2020 at 6:35 am

    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?

  36. CHINMAYA

    July 29, 2020 at 6:52 am

    Here we go with inclusivity bs . No one knows these people get an actual driver to answer ffs

  38. codytyran

    July 29, 2020 at 6:54 am

    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

    • A.F. Whitepigeon

      July 30, 2020 at 1:40 pm

      @codytyran Serious or not, the sentiment can have negative effects.

    Couldn’t get a real F1 driver eh?

    • David Price

      July 29, 2020 at 10:50 am

      or ex-F1 drivers?

    nothing against Tatiana…. but she isn’t the best representation for drivers… Lord Mahaveer outscored her in F2 last year

    Yea any watcher of the formula motorsport definitely sees them as a PRO driver….. Right? Right?

    I bet they can’t parallel park tho

  47. Mike Pettengill

    July 29, 2020 at 11:21 pm

    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?

  48. A.F. Whitepigeon

    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.

  49. 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.

    Pretty lame questions tbh. Also you guys could’ve gotten actual f1 drivers, current or ex.

  52. Jackie Zheng

    August 2, 2020 at 3:21 am

    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.
