During breaks, do drivers still drive their cars? (lemmy.world)

Or do they only practice in the simulator?

Also do reserve drivers get to drive real cars on the track? Or is it just the sim for them?

That's interesting, so generally drivers just practice using a simulator?

Yup! That’s also why it takes a while for rookies to get up to speed. F1 cars are not easy to drive and there’s little opportunity for practice

some don't even do that. Like Lewis rarely uses sims.
