S01EP16 - El milagro de Canadá 2011. La carrera MÁS LARGA en la historia de la F1.

In Formula 1, races are designed to cover 300km and last around an hour and a half. However, one Sunday in June 2011, in Montreal, the heavens opened and turned the circuit into a four-hour ordeal... a battleground. 🏎️ INNOVATION ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE: The revolutionary 2011 season with the arrival of DRS, the return of KERS, and the new Pirelli extreme degradation tires. 🌧️ THE DOWNPOUR AND THE WAIT: The chaotic start in the rain, the collision that took Lewis Hamilton out, and the red flag on lap 25. What happens physically and psychologically to the bodies of these superhuman drivers during a stoppage of more than two hours? ⏱️ THE CROSSOVER AND THE MIRACLE: Jenson Button's masterclass. From dropping to 21st place after a collision with Fernando Alonso, to perfectly reading the track to fit 'Super Soft' tires. His relentless pursuit forced Sebastian Vettel's final mistake just meters from the checkered flag. 🏁 UNBEATABLE RECORDS: An epic victory with 6 pit stops for the winner, 6 Safety Cars, and the lowest average speed in history (74.8 km/h). How this 4-hour, 4-minute, and 39-second race forced the FIA ​​to permanently amend the regulations to limit the duration of Grand Prix races. Relive the afternoon that showed us that pure speed is nothing without patience, and that a race is never lost until the finish line is crossed. ===================================================== BOOKS AND LINKS MENTIONED: 📕 Life to the Limit: My Autobiography https://amzn.to/4dSSPVm 📕 How To Be An F1 Driver: My Guide To Life In The Fast Lane https://amzn.to/4ejGhHO 📕 A Championship Year https://amzn.to/4fl6Z43 =====================================================
