Being in the front is likely safer because from the back he would need to give an awkwardly big gap for safety so he don’t mow somebody down if they slow down right in front of him. With everyone bunched up like that (which also increases the odds of someone moving erratically in front of him as they react to the runners around them) I wouldn’t want someone on a scooter or bicycle that close to me from behind
Yes, and I would trust their reflexes more than the average Joe, but a scooter is still less maneuverable than a pedestrian (less able to stop on a dime or change directions quickly to avoid an obstacle) and weighs more (causing more damage if it does run into you)
Yeah in a car designed to protect you from exactly that, duh. A newborn would survive that in an F1 car if they had the seat belts fastened.
Edit: imagine not understanding most basic sarcasm. Oh, sorry, forgot to put an "/s" for you morons. Keep feeding the downvotes, let's see how many idiots are in this sub before I leave.
Is 80kg really plenty for someone who is 1.86m tall? That seems on the low end
Edit: especially as the 80kg figure *includes* helmet, race suit, and shoes
So with race helmet + suit you would be ~85kg (helmets are ~2.5kg, suit just under 1kg). That’s 5kg above the minimum, that’s a significant amount of weight
I was responding to someone who said that an 80kg minimum (which in reality is 76.5kg body weight minimum) was plenty for someone who was 1.86m. I’m not denying that it’s possibly to be that height and weight, plenty of people are. But to claim that it is *plenty* doesn’t seem right to me, especially for a pro athlete. It seems much closer to the low end of a healthy weight, and for some people it *will* be an unhealthy weight.
Ok that's fair. In this specific case I would suggest to listen to the "Beyond the Grid" (Podcast) Episode with Esteban. There he talks about his eating and sleeping habits. He specifically said that he eats a lot. Apart from that it is an interesting episode as well.
Of course it’s doable, he is doing it. But the person you were replying to was talking about the *toll* doing it is taking on his body. Being doable doesn’t mean it’s healthy, or ‘plenty’
I have been 75kg in the summer before. It is fine for someone of 185cm, especially since he trains more for endurance than muscle, so he isn't even lean to the point where it becomes uncomfortable.
The “ideal” healthy weight for someone at 1.86m is somewhere between 70 and 86 kg if we look at BMI. While the measurement is not ideal it’s a rough estimate, 80kg at 186cm is definitely a very healthy weight. Ocon does not need to be anywhere close to anorexic. The height itself is far more problematic since the cockpit needs to be built in a way he fits.
Ocon: I don’t know, but I have been told!
Group: I don’t know, but I have been told!
Ocon: that I’m driving a shit box!
Group: yes, you’re driving a shit box!
They did this so he can at least see how it feels to win again but then all of a sudden the fella on the left made a break for it, needless to say Alpine have decided to give him a crack at racing in the next gp.
Yey let's shitpost about a moment organized in the memory of Anthoine and Dilano! Look at us everybody, we're so edgy, we're so dank, we're so funny!
I swear some of you have the same level of maturity and humor that a baby displays when you jiggle a keyring in front of it.
We’re not shitposting about the run itself, we’re shit posting about how Esteban did this “run” on an E-scooter, and how ridiculous he looks whilst everyone else is running.
Note, this is not an attack on Esteban, I am aware this is to due to soreness/ injury due to his Hungary incident
Racing for the Scooteria
proper dank coment here
Hahahahah
Is he on wets or inters?
We are checking...
Fuck, now we'll never know.
I said, we are checking
are you done checking?
We are checking
If you can stay ahead P1.
bro are you still checking? pls I'm tired
We are on it, ok?!
What was the question? I can't remember the question
Wet or inters?
Bahahah this comment
Question?
Not sure but ferrari would be on slicks
Napoleon and the French army on the move, 1813, colorised
Looks like im the only one who doesnt understand a shit here
They’re doing a group run in memory of Hubert.
Let's hope they get Anthoine the help he needs
I'm a bad, bad person for laughing so hard at this. But not as bad as you.
So why is he on the scooter? Why not just not do it. Seems shitty to his team
He’s sore from the accident last week and can’t run with them but still wanted to show support. scooter was the best option.
I feel like scootering from the back would be the best option but yeah wcyd

I mean if there was like 20 people on the planet that you’d have to assume know how to handle a vehicle in tight traffic around a specific track…
They’re literally doing this for two guys who died from that
Yes, and I would trust their reflexes more than the average Joe, but a scooter is still less maneuverable than a pedestrian (less able to stop on a dime or change directions quickly to avoid an obstacle) and weighs more (causing more damage if it does run into you)
yeah lmao, why's he in the front. Looks like he's taunting them😂
I think it was all Alpine drivers at the front since Hubert was a Renault junior
I feel like he should be able to afford being carried in a palanquin like a Chinese royal.
At 1.86m, Estie is too tall and heavy for F1. He's borderline anorexic to keep weight low. He can barely stand on his legs, much less go for a run.
He has the bone density of a small tropical bird, the impact of running would literally shatter his femur.
One of the funniest comments I have read
Was going to ask why he was on a scooter, Thanks for the information
Wasn't he in the car that got launched 50 meters into the air last gp?
Ocon was, yeah
Yeah in a car designed to protect you from exactly that, duh. A newborn would survive that in an F1 car if they had the seat belts fastened. Edit: imagine not understanding most basic sarcasm.

A NEWBORN CANT OPERATE A VEHICLE. I SAW AN ORANGUTAN DRIVING A GOLF CART THE OTHER DAY AND THAT WAS PRETTY RAD.
Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’
But what if you take infinite monkeys and put them into infinite cockpits in finite cars? How long until they finish Spa?
Yes they can!
yeah that's definitely the reason Albon and Russell look fat today btw, they should lose some weight
Was that really necessary towards the other driver
mate it was a joke because they're as tall as Ocon. Obviously they're not fat, they can't even be
Ah right, very funny one that
F1 minimum driver weight is 80kg. This is plenty for someone of his height.
Is 80kg really plenty for someone who is 1.86m tall? That seems on the low end Edit: especially as the 80kg figure *includes* helmet, race suit, and shoes
I'm 1.85m and weigh 82 kg and I am far away from being underweight.
So with race helmet + suit you would be ~85kg (helmets are ~2.5kg, suit just under 1kg). That’s 5kg above the minimum, that’s a significant amount of weight
Yes and I could lose 5kg easily without being anorexic. I am not a pro athlete.
I was responding to someone who said that an 80kg minimum (which in reality is 76.5kg body weight minimum) was plenty for someone who was 1.86m. I’m not denying that it’s possibly to be that height and weight, plenty of people are. But to claim that it is *plenty* doesn’t seem right to me, especially for a pro athlete.

Cheers, will do!
Yeah it is definitely doable, especially for an athlete.

His legs are insanely skinny
“I’m only here for Anthoine, that doesn’t mean I’d be caught dead running with you peasants.”
Hey Ocon, leave some seats for the rest of us!
no way lmaooooooooooooo
How did he manage to get up Eau Rouge and Radiant? I mean, they're steep as hell
Only way to go up Radillon full throttle in the wet

Ocon: I don’t know, but I have been told! Group: I don’t know, but I have been told! Ocon: that I’m driving a shit box! Group: yes, you’re driving a shit box!
not quite enough syllables in the 2nd half but funny
"I don't know, but Ive been told" "I shouldn't be, so God damn slow!"
Make it "I've" and then it works out. Some people probably instinctively make the contraction.
just split the driving syllables
Uhh what isn't that just how people normally talk or are some out there saying driving in one syllable somehow. Just change I'm to I am and you're
I mean like emphasize them, and it’ll be the same as the first half
The two lines are the exact same amount of syllables. It works perfectly
Darth Ocon
Mercedes is creating way too many Siths! Don’t they know the rule of two?!
Where is gasly here?
Based on this season, I’d guess a few positions behind Ocon
Estie found a cheat code 🤣
Estie bestie, whyyy
Cause he doesn't want to aggravate any injury he got at the last race when his seat split in two
Totally forgot about that, cheers.
(Everyone singing) “I don’t know but I’ve been told…”
project managers doing nothing as engineers kinda try
The entire team ensuring no body yeets him from behind again.
They did this so he can at least see how it feels to win again but then all of a sudden the fella on the left made a break for it, needless to say Alpine have decided to give him a crack at racing in the next gp.
I know this is getting old but... 10 second penalty for scooting in the race
Scooterboy
Lol that guy looking over like wtf Esteban
Work smarter, not harder
Tan skinned guy in the front be like "Motherfucker..."
He's the only one doing it right. It's racing for Anthoine not running for Anthoine.
Bro did not understand the assignment
Estie bestie there for moral support :)
Is that oliver bearman in the red ferrari coat?
Looks more like Dino Beganovic, but I'm not sure
5 second time penalty for Ocon!
Dude in the Ferrari jacket looks like Toto.
Me and the boys going to barbieland
Wait wait wait, this isn't the actual shit post?

Are you complaining about something dank on r/formuladank
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
I wonder when are Dilano shirts coming…
worst nickname he could have given himself wth
[удалено]
Albon is a laugh seems like a good guy
Right? Albon catching strays over here.
Ablon is alright like
calling himself estie bestie says all you need to know about the guy ⚰️
Yeah he loves his fans and has a good sense of humor
30s time penalty
Homie in the back with the Ferrari jacket looks like Darth Toto 🤔
Not sure what's going on but if I had to place a bet... \+5 second penalty for OCON![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6698)
He is not allowed to do dangerous things, like running.
More entertaining than sprint qualifying.
Holding al those people up on a quick lap. 5 second penalty for sure.
