Formula 1 Grand Prix

Let me share one of my best experiences with my uncle. On Saturday, he surprised me with a ticket to the Hungaroring which is the motorsport race track in Hungary where Formula 1 Grand Prix has been held since 1986. We watch the Formula 1 practice sessions and the Qualifying session. It was an amazing place to make some observations. After a while, I was wondering how my studies relate to the Formula 1 races and how it relates to one of the best racers Sebastian Vettel. 

The successful car racers must have perfect reaction time because the better the reaction time is the faster the decision making is. In car races, everything happens within an extremely short time which means a small fault could mean the end of the race. This is the most important in the start but also important during the race. The competitors had 70 laps overall and each of them is 4.381 kilometres long. The fastest competitor has been Michael Schumacher who completed the race in 1:19,071. It means that the competitors must be concentrated for more than 1 hours and 20 minutes. The better reaction time they have the better time they drive. But how they train to improve their reaction time?! As you see in this video below with Hamilton, they train with Batak Wall which is a valid exercise to improve and test reaction time. Reaction time can be decreased by high anxiety or stress but also just the weather condition or other factors. As a result of these thoughts, it could mean that Vettel was more concentrated than the others, therefore, he had better reaction time and he won the Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2017 in Hungary.
