Let's talk about Yuki Tsunoda: F1's rising son who has left Ricciardo 'driving for his career'
Yuki Tsunoda is in his fourth season in Formula One, yet he’s largely flown under the radar throughout his career. That’s changed over the…
Ever wondered what it would be like to see a Formula One car doing donuts in Predator vision? I have. For longer than I care to admit. Now our collective wait is over.
There’s not a lot that needs to be said about the following clip, other than someone somewhere has somehow managed to make an F1 car doing donuts look cooler than an F1 car doing doeys normally looks.
But the video is not only about filming best buds Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel do max doughies in the gravel for the sake of it. Apparently there is some science behind it.
With Red Bull Racing trying to get an edge over their competitors any way they can, they enlisted thermal imaging company FLIR to make the footage.
The Austrian energy drink giant, who probably should have been spending their time on the phone to Renault trying to get a better engine to catch those sneaky Mercedes, wanted to know more about how their cars heat up in order to better manage temperature control.
Once they recorded the footage, they realised how awesome it was and released it. And they probably learned a thing or two about temperature control, but who cares.
As an aside, FLIR also have a pretty sweet app and attachment which can turn your iPhone camera infrared, which will make playing Alien versus Predator at night with your 30-something coworkers so much cooler.
Anyway, ’nuff said. Let’s get to the part where the video and the car and the doeys is.
Don’t try this at home.
Ahh who am I kidding? Do it, and tell the judge I said it was alright.
