Why do F1 drivers exercise their necks?
Formula 1 drivers are famed for their muscular ও🍸necks.
In a high-speed co🅠rner, while wearingꦓ a helmet, the gravitational forces can make their heads weigh five times more than usual.
However, a former trainer for Sebastian Vettel expla൩ined an even more s𝔉imple reason that F1 drivers require strong necks.
The real reason why the neck is so important is tha🍰t you need to see where you're going,” Antti Kontsas told F1.com.
“It's all ab🃏out precision. We're talking⛄ about hundreds and tenths of a second.
“If you don't see exactly where you're going and you cannot navigate well through the track, there's no chan꧟ce for you to gain that extra hundredth or tenth where you can take it.
“When you start to look at t💛he helmet camera, you see how much head movement there is and how diffi⛄cult it is to hit those apexes perfectly.
“The more stable your head is, the better information your brain gets, and this can gu🦹ide yo🧸ur decisions when you drive around the track.”
