He had an on-board camera. It sounded very much to me as if he was changing down into the gear required for the corner very early, e.
This would have created engine braking without the need for constant gear changing as he approached the corner. I may have this wrong, but certainly the engine seemed to be screaming at high revs from the beginning of the braking zone until he was pretty much into the corner.
Originally posted by ferrarifan Wasnt braking one of zanardi's troubles with driving an f1 car when he switched over to the series. I know that he complained with lack of feel, but i thought that a commentator stated that the f1 cars need to be thrown into a corner more than a champ car because its lighter And now i read on this thread that hakkinen is a very smooth driver, yet is incredibly fast. I know that i have written some contradictory things, but that is the info i received from other sources.
So what is it? Smooth and precise, or hard and late? Does anyone have any other examples of the different brakers in racing? Posted 29 November - Posted 30 November - Posted 02 December - All rights reserved.
