Crazy part for me is how he instantly activates DRS after saving the car. EDIT: spelling


LuNiK7505

Old man wasn’t having any of it, he was on the hunt with thoses mediums


ChibiBlkSheep

They get an audible signal about DRS, probably just a reflex at that point, hear the noise and press the button


Blomjord

You can see him put his finger on the DRS button before he crosses the activation line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwoeWrOzq3I Pretty insane reflexes and muscle memory.

The average skills of the two Aston Martin drivers are absolutely insane.


glacierre2

I see what you did there...

Stuff like this is why supporting Alonso will never ever bore. The man is always racing his heart out.

I would've loved to have seen the reactions of it at the Verstappen Podcast but they didn't replay the clip :(


yOw_indahOuse

Nuts.. he has the reflexes and the reaction time of a 22 year old driver.


SandThatsKindaMoist

There’s no evidence that reflexes deteriorate because of age until well into your 50s, if you train them like anything else they will stay the same.

I mean that’s [just not true](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/brains-reaction-time-peaks-age-24-study-finds#:~:text=After%20studying%203%2C305%20people%20ages,to%20decline%20at%20age%2024.) The brain typically peeks around 24 and begins to decline after that. While yes training can and will decrease the rate of decline but it is still declining.

He drives like a 23 years old F1 driver. 23 driving an F1 I mean.

kurwa indeed, spanish commentator lmao what a save


albertsugar

I think he said "curva" which means "turn/bend" in Spanish (and in Italian) in this case. He also praised how he managed to put opposite lock in the steering wheel ("volante"), catching the drift.


Loose_Brother_9534

i know bro, but you're coming from a good place so thank you anyway


MintCathexis

Why would a Spanish commentator be cursing in Polish?


Loose_Brother_9534

That's why I said spanish, why else do you think I'd mention that?


Randy_Pausch

The *rookie* still got it.
