If you want to become a top driver and sit in an F1 single-seater, apart from immense talent, sponsorship money and a lot of hard work, you also need to have one essential thing and that is perception. Even if you feel the car like no one else, it will be a fart if you can't react in time to what you feel under your ass.

F1 drivers have a lot of exercises dedicated to improving their reaction time. The average reaction time for an average person is around one second, which means that if an unforeseen situation happens to you in your car and you need to react, it takes your brain one second to evaluate what is happening and how to actually react. Of course, this only applies to unforeseen situations. If you are expecting something and it only depends on your perception of how quickly you react to what you expect to happen, your reaction time is significantly faster. You can easily check what yours is with a simple game called F1 start glitch, which you can play directly in your browser at iPhone or any device with a touchscreen. Of course you can also play on a computer, but it's more fun on a touchscreen.

The game is that as soon as you touch the screen for the first time, the classic F1 race start sequence starts, where the red lights on all five traffic lights gradually come on and after they go out, the drivers can start. The lights will go out at a different time each time after they all come on gradually. Your task is to touch the phone screen as quickly as possible after all the red lights on the screen go out. Thanks to the video below, you can also compare your results with the reaction shown by one of the greatest talents of our time Max Verstappen, F1 legend Fernando Alonso or other top drivers such as Perez, Kvyat or Romain Grosjean.
