      But we know the drivers mental state. They’re on high alert, lots of adrenaline and trying to endure the phsyical discomfort of going 300 km/h in a uncomfortable car and experiecing G-forces.
      Someone else pointed out that it could be interesting while they battle eachother (see if it impacts one more than the other), but that’s about it. I think we all know the feeling of “don’t fuck up now”. The drivers do get coaching and training to change that feeling, but still.
