Race of Champions 2023 | Team Germany vs Team Great Britain | Heats 3 and 4 | Round 1

GB against the German

team

, it will be David Coultard against Mick Schumacher. Here is the comparison with the rx2 electric car and the gasoline one we saw just before. This one has a little more power, with approximately the same weight and on an empty stomach. zero to 100 time, but I think the big difference between these two cars is the ease of driving the electric car and how close you can get to the limit because you never make a mistake with the gears or the engine boost or anything like that, from From the driver's point of view, it's much better to feel closer, at least for me, from my point of view, you feel closer to your own limit, like when you drive this car, it was quite fascinating to be able to compare the same. chassis with two different drivetrains on the same day on the same track, yes, it must be like that, do you feel like you can take more risks because, as you say, you are more in tune?

It's more like you had to take a risk with the gas engine because it was less precise and you could go faster with more precision, so it didn't feel as risky, just better, you could concentrate on something, concentrate on the rotation, concentrate on your Apex, focus on making everything perfect without worrying about it. look at those fantastic scenes, cool things that make you smile, don't they? Yeah, a lot, right on the right side of your screen, do Schumacher in the black, David Coulter in the blue and come on, green light Schumacher with that inside line,

great

, Todd.

On the outside it is 2-0 for Germany, so if Schumacher can take this victory, the German

team

will advance to the next round in the Nations Champions Cup

race

. The rear is full of snow and it hits the front half. and he is in the snowbank, which has cost him a lot of time, he is everywhere. David cools down hard right now and is on the wrong side of the track, right?, or he's back on the right side, no, I think. He is about to return and even with those big impacts he should be far ahead.

I think because of the cut we see between the two of them we didn't think that the track limits would be a problem for the stewards. Yes, but it seems like they have to contribute that, yes. Mick Schumacher's iron determination. Oh, lovely car control. Absolutely beautiful. Look at all this snow that they're dumping out there, that's going to build up as the day goes on and it's going to stay like a new snow bank just outside the line, a little bit wider to make, but I think it's another bright round picture. , looks

great

today and two good

race

s, I think he'll feel great right now, that's all.

Schumacher achieves his second victory. a third for Germany, they are 3-0 over team GB. Nothing Jamie Chadwick can do now, but he will relish the opportunity to take on Sebastian Vettel, who he will face tomorrow in the first round of the Champions race, so he wants some track time with Sebastian Vettel to Find out how you can defeat the four-time Formula One world champion on snow and ice. Yeah this is a bit of a psychological game now and they will both use this race as practice because as we talked about before you don't have much race time here and you value every lap you take so I'm sure they will push and try, here we go , which is why he looked strange when we got on board with him. here, watching him cross that snowbank so there wouldn't be any punctures, he was meant to do that.

In fact, I did the same thing last year, yes, yes, I'm in the first round of the Champions race, the only one against Christopherson. On this corner here, of course, I hit the back end with the snow and that image of the car on the snow bank and I also came back and the snow patches were much bigger last year. I would say mine was more. Awesome you get more air time huh so it's Chadwick versus Battle uh this is just for Pride then between the two of them team Germany wins 3-0 and also to enjoy yeah it's a great day of racing , No?

Look at the sun, the sun is shining, it's a beautiful race track, the spectators, everyone there, so many spectators here watching, it's a beautiful day and a beautiful part of the world. I think we've all fallen a little in love with Sweden. My first time here, I love it, it's just the most beautiful place, uh, and of course, I couldn't have said it better, and the thrill and excitement of racing in the snow and ice. Champions Nations Cup race, team GB against team. Germany is 3-0 against Germany right now, but now Chadwick on the outside line in the orange car.

Vettel on the inside line in silver. These two will meet in the Race of Champions, Champion Race of Champions tomorrow and Chadwick will remain. quite nice and tidy, she said that it actually hasn't been that difficult the change from driving a car with her fingertips, like she used to do in a single seat, to getting into a car and having to move it, she is really enjoying it, she has made a pair. racing in extreme e and I think it's impressive there, there are not many drivers who can do both, there are not many drivers who can know how to go from that precision to that feeling, everyone needs to do it here today and I think Jamie showed it.

He is already extremely capable of switching between disciplines, so the gap of around five seconds decreased by five seconds, so Vettel has a bit of work to do in the second half of his career. Jamie Chadwick is doing a beautiful job. out there right now, yeah, I'm just trying to look up exactly the lines they're picking and seeing how it might become more important to stay clean. We've been talking about this aggression and that works as long as you don't get your rear end caught in this snow dust outside because as we saw for David a moment ago, it can spin and cause your car to turn in the wrong direction. , so as the rakes go by, it might be easier to make mistakes. tight, I think the final corner for Chadwick and actually it should be an easy win for her at the end, a wonderful ride from Jamie Chadwick, so if he drives like that, tomorrow the foreigner will come out with the first brilliant race of his.

I was with Jamie when they did the draw. Race of Champions I said you want to know who you have and when I told her it was Sebastian Vettel she was delighted and said yes you know I have the opportunity to try and she has the measure of him today. How did she do against him tomorrow? The team's GP will not go further in the national cup. Team Germany won this one 3-1, but that final victory for Jamie Chadwick will give him a lot of confidence heading into his showdown against Sebastian tomorrow. I beat him today, she will sleep well tonight, she will be happy with this brilliant race, brilliant race and Sam can continue running.

Yes, she will have a few more races to get the feel of the cars and the track here, as you say without any practice. It's all experience, it's all track time, something Jamie and DC won't get anymore, nor will Mikahakanan and Valtry. Bot has Team Finland and Team Great Britain eliminated at the first hurdle and then here in the Race of Champions Nations Cup.
