Safety Car Driver Bernd Mayländer: 'I Am Always Too Slow for an F1 Driver'
Bernd Mayländer, a safety car driver with nearly thirty years of experience and over 500 Grands Prix, notes that Formula 1 drivers always complain he is too slow, even at high speeds. He emphasizes his role in sensing track conditions like aquaplaning that race control cannot see from video feeds. Mayländer recently experienced a unique incident at Monza where he had to reverse after being blocked in the pit lane. He contrasts current detailed scenario training with earlier career practices and distinguishes his recent experiences from the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi finale involving Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.
