+BadTrip Senna WAS smooth. It is true he slid his car more than others, but he definitely didn't throw it around. Like a magician he pushed it to the very edge of limit and sometimes just a fraction over. Imputes (i.e. steering, throttle..) don't have to be slow to be smooth, they just have to be precise and spot on. Overdriving the car can be a lot of fun but it is never the fastest way round a track when your up against the clock.

Smooth, seamless driving comes with experience from years behind the wheel under varying conditions. Both road and traffic conditions factor in to this and you must learn to blend in and out of the flow in a way that sets you apart from the average rough and jerky movement of the vast majority. With this style of driving comes an immeasurable level of confidence that spurs untold doses of delirious joy and pleasure. That's all! Practice, practice, practice. Each time around the block must improve various aspects of your skills. Yes, skills you achieve that'll serve you very well. Cheers!

Absolutely, smooth is everything when it comes to going fast. The harder I push the worse it gets, the more I relax and let my mind do the job, the faster I go. Staying in the zone is everything.

Learn to be smooth first. Then being aggressive will just be another tool in your toolbox for when you need it. Fernando is crazy smooth. Lewis is crazy smooth, yet they are regarded as some of the most aggressive drivers in F1. Supersmooth 98% of the times, super aggressive 2% of the time. And that's very aggressive in terms of F1. Look at Jenson Button, he's seriously quick. Lewis had a real problem with him at McLaren. And Jenson is by far, one of THE smoothest drivers to have ever raced in F1. Look a how he treats the wheel of his car. One continuous movement into the corner, One continuous movement out the corner, minimal correction. He knows exactly how much he needs to turn the steering wheel. Make it your goal to know exactly what to do, when to do it and how to do it. And in order to do that you need to study and practice a track. Harder and more in detail than anyone else. You think your "natural talent" will do all the work for you? Think again. Those without your natural "god given" talent to drive a racecar, knows that their only chance of beating you is to out-study and out-research you. And they will. And they will win. With talent and the stamina and grit to study and learn everything you can, you will be LETHAL.

smooth IS fast.take a look at sebastien loeb and sebastien ogier's driving styles.they always choose precision over brute force.they build up speed and confidence, but they don't do any mistakes. i'd rather put my money on them.

I think it also depends on the car too that you're in, how it turns initially depending on the length of the car, where the engine is, how much torque it has, does it have TC or ABS, etc. Some cars have to be driven with precision and care. There are some that need to be driven aggressively or else you're not gonna go fast. There are times where you need to go over large irregularities and just let it hang out too so you carry as much speed as possible. You could say it usually depends on the circumstances.

Carrying speed is the key thing and smooth is always better than twitchy. Drivers must learn how to make weight shifting work for the car and not against it, understanding the physics of driving makes you better.

some corners require you to be aggressive with the wheel to load the outside of the car , in which case a slow and smooth turn-in will create more understeer/less grip. Also corners that have quick transitions often are faster if you "flippinp the wheel" and turn in very abruptly to switch load form one side to the other quickly (again to pre-load the car). But yes often smooth, especially entries is good... but not always.

1:39 I have to question, because if the fastest drivers are generally gaining most of their time by being riding the limit better on entry/midcorner, than why would it suddenly be okay to be aggressive on exit? I think that rotating the car and dancing on the limit midcorner allows the driver to be able to get on the gas earlier and accelerate without so much slip holding the tires from pushing the car forward. Thoughts? I am just curious, not trying to denounce the theory.

Jackie Stewart believes smooth is faster, and he managed to win 3 F1 world championships. Jim Clark, Fangio, Moss, Graham Hill and many others all had one thing in common. Smoothness. An economy of movement and relaxed concentration making every input very smooth, rarely overdriving. Modern drivers such as Schumacker, Button, Vettell, Hamilton etc, all the same traits.

I think I rephrase what they said was their going as fast as they can and being as smooth as they can with the controls of their car....its fun to go out and have fun and joke around and be over aggressive but u have to conserve that move...and like these guys said finish so going up to the limit and backing it down to a race mode and being smooth is gonna make ur tire last....plus smooth is good when u unexpectedly need tires the car probably wouldn't step out and burn u as easy,crash...

well, think about it. smooth is not necessarily fast, u can drive smooth and really slowly, but imagine a 100% perfect lap done by a robot, i think that would look pretty smooth. i think it depends on what is fastest, and staying smoothly on the limit

Fernando is ultra smooth imo. He just has the little flicks that get the rear end around typically in single low traction events that generate low, not high tire deg, as he is not pressing the tires/platform across a wide arc and instead transfering maximum power to all four tires. Danny Ric does the same at times. Take a look at Peter Windsor's KZitem site, The Racers Edge and look for a guy named Rob Wilson. The most recent vid he is on is about Kimi. He hasnt been on in a while but if you dig he *really is worth listening to. He has legit and has worked with1/3 to 1/2 half of the F1 field at one time and speaks to car control in a way that has unlocked the way I see racing forever. I'm sure you will enjoy if you enjoy F1. Melbourne baby.

jiff jiffernson With all the respect, I mean, per example look at alonsos onboard laps in the early 2000s, now of course, his driving style is smoother because he has to preserve his tires more but back in the days his driving style was really agressive and it didnt seems to slowed him dowm.

In which era ? Those 2000s cars were totally different. Those Renaults had better tyres, and a rearward weight distribution that favored an understeer heavy setup that led to Alonso throwing it around made. From 2007 onwards, on the Bridgestones Alonso became very smooth. With the Pirellis he is even smoother. He is just driving the cars as fast as possible

+jiff jiffernson I totaly agree with you. Alonso is very consistent and smooth. He's doing bit more agressive on slow corners and more smothly on high speed ones. Hamilton on the other hand is opposite to that bcoz he's driving very fast around high speed corners and more safely around slow ones.
