Mercedes-Benz TV: Nico Rosberg explains the driver’s seat in the Silver Arrow.
Did you know that Formula 1 drivers steer their vehicles in an almost prone position, that they see almost nothing because of the steering wheel and need to make a number of seating compromises? Watch and see what the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver, Nico Rosberg, has to say about his workplace in the Silver Arrow.

2020: Hey, do you want to see retired f1pilot Nico Rosberg explain his seating position?
wooow … foam is very heavy … OMG 😀 WOOOW 😀 😀
All F1 experts in comment section 😆😂
Very comfortable.
Foam is heavy??
What’s missing is a sleeping bag in the cockpit
I almost forgot that britney was so young and beautiful)))
Position horrible
Foam are very heavy 😳🧐
Foam is heavy,! 😂😂😂🇬🇧
I am watching this video in the same position in my bed. I can feel that
Young roseburg
If only F1 cars had WASD controls
Foam is very heavy xD
F1 driver: I can barely see wher am going..
F1 desingers: Ok i hear you, Go faster u will see
Well i just selected by youtube for watching this 8 years ago video so be thankfull merc, send me your c class
How they don't feel sleepy lying down like that is beyond me.
Upspeak is real in this video?
Nico sais parler français
Crazy! It's seriously awesome. Compare this with the Online driving, and, no, not even possible. I am stunned by the talent of Hamilton and the others!
The more I delve into what it takes to be an F1 driver the more I realise just how talented these guys/girls are (yes I included Lance Stroll).
Imagine driving a car that can go 300 KPH, while laying down, having insanely limited vision and not to mention all the other cars driving around you.
Oh yeah and every second you drive is filmed and recorded by computers so it can be scrutinized by your team, the ever growing media AND us second guessing, mostly no nothing, fans.
hello recommendation friends
Everyone is gangsta until they drive f1 without looking at the circuit 1:13
The man who beats Lewis..
History.
Foam is really heavy?… wft…
Nobody knows this, but theres tens of times more engineering in F1 cars than in a rocket.
Now you know.
Am i the only one who is seeing that Nico is too low!!! He cant see anything !!! He cant see past the steering wheel.. he has an onboard camera? Check lewis . His much higher 😂😂😂😂 thats all Capp
Till now, I have not figured, why drive in a sleeping position? , and why foam is heavy?
Nico is a natural about explaining everything f1 in front of the camera. No wonder he's enjoying YouTube so much rn
I think I'd DIE of anxiety driving like that… wow! Had no idea they weren't able to see that much…
This is the guy in the Titanic!
This is the first time I liked Nico Rosberg talking 😀
Foam is very heavy….
nice
I wanted to be in a submarine but that didn't work. I was too tall with a 1'94cm. I wanted to be in a tank but that didn't work. I was too tall. I wanted to be in a F1 car but that didn't work. because i was too tall. Now I complain at the height of the cooking area to help people cook for people who are not able to do it themselves!
It looks just like the seat in a sailplane!
Doesn’t look quite right to me. Head is too low and feet are too high. His view would be blocked by his feet. In car video shows his feet lower than his sight line.
What the hell? No HALO?
atrocious camera work
Pre-halo days. Yikes.
I don't know how to drive a car if sitting like that.
interesting
when you finally learn the truth that they are sleeping while driving at over 300kms
Вероятно, не очень удобная поза. Возможно пилотам в кокпите тесновато.
Why isn't the clothing padded with air chambers or a vacuum seat?
No halo :O
weight ratio is not considered by normal people……but in racing, cargo, aerospace, etc………even .0000001 kgs can also make huge difference 🙌
im 2020, I have a cockpit for my simulator in the formula position and angle and I have no clue how these guys can se above the wheel hahaha
f1 drivers need a corkscrew to get out!
Back when the halo wasn't there to further decrease visibility
okay the Formule 1 playseat is not so realistic as I thought
I would far rather 'sit' in a race vehicle like they did in the XP-79. I've been working on an electric race
motorcycle that sits in the XP-79 position, and can mechanically flip to a recumbent position, like a transformer.
The ugliest car of v6 turbo era
Then he would see his feet.
Something is wrong there 😂😂😂
Hey Admin,
How are you?
Love that you reply even to comments in a 8 year old Video.. 😅
so basically, they "feel the car" with they bums? … ….
what if you feel itchy in your feet?
Apparently everyone came here 8 months ago
To be honest fills and looks like the worst sit ever, including the height problem that reduce vision.
Foam is heavy ?!?!?!
Foam is very heavy ….Righhhhht
2013 Nico and 2016 Nico is a diffrent beast
It looks like steering bwoah wheel gen1
Foam is very heavy.
This is a kind of explanation we usually get from the teacher 😂
I would fall asleep in 10 seconds in that position.
Foam is heavy !!
So that means im in F1 driving position everyday? Wow
That seat and car rocking you side by side … I'll be asleep in mins
These drivers are hell of a skilled people, make it look like easy
Вероятно, не самая удобна поза. Возможно, имеет некоторый смысл подумать о комфорте пилотов, включая наличие кондиционера и системы вентиляции.
Based on this and other reports from "regular" people driving F1 cars I still wonder: how the f do they drive those things?
foam is very heavy——-WOW😲😲😲😲
They can barely see yet they an hit apex perfectly at 100+ mph consistently, wow that's impressive.
Foam is very heavy! Only a F1 pilot can say that!
Moto GP riders have far more fun than these drivers
Foam is very heavy
If the driver is already stressed out in seating , cant see clearly on the track , has to lean up his head most of the times then definately you will lose the race .
Could get a little tight with my beer belly ….
2 am me trying to feel how f1 car seat feels like in my bed
Parabéns por suas atitudes na Mercedes.
how the f you see the road lol
Watching nico after his retirement and introduced by his vlogs
Those look comfortable. I’ll have to get one.
How handsome when he was young 😄
Now I respect f1 even more. How can they go and turn 200kph with a position like that.
Searching for a 9 year old comment
Next : Nico falls asleep inside of F1 car
Eye looking forward too low. Very difficult for entering turn
Basically it's super uncomfortable.
To think they have to sit like that for hours.
Imagine you fall asleep oh wait the muffler on the f1
Foam is very heavy. I feel he has no idea what he Is talking about
LOL foam is heavy, damn.,
they are just driving a car in sleeping position in over 200mph
God, I can't imagine if an F1 driver's thighs, calves or even the foot feel itchy
Id say that is horrible the thought of it just feels unnatural
01:29 Bruh really said "Foam is very heavy…"
First time in my life I hear that
..foam is heavy!
O M GGGG
Foam gets heavier for a F1 car…wow
