So, if modern F1 cars are this advanced, complete with diagnostics onboard and low latency communication, and self-driving cars are a thing, then surely a robot can just press some buttons and go around a track. I asked Felipe – do we still even need drivers? You can guess his answer!

“Yeah, you are still a driver, you know? You are still analyzing things, sometimes before things happen. The driver is making the difference, not just because you have everything electronic around; when you have a competitive car – at least, when you have a good car to fight for the victory and everything, the driver is the one who makes the difference.”

Real doctors: idk what’s wrong so im going to assume you’re faking lol good luck
