I am currently watching the newest season of F1 documentary on Netflix and I noticed that teams keep telling their drivers to “push”.
So, what can the drivers do to actually “push”?
In: Other
As much as we like to think, F1 drivers (indeed, most race drivers) aren’t at 100% all the time, as they need to look after their tires, their fuel, their engines etc. So, when a driver’s engineer tells them to push, that essentially means “There is no longer any need to look after things at this point in time, go 100%”. What that generally entails for the driver is things like braking later & not coasting, into corners, accelerating earlier out of them & turning more aggressively through them
