Planetf1与凯文·马格努森(Kevin Magnussen)的一位生理学交谈,谈到了在一周不到一周内为F1做好准备的挑战,以及为什么他们在训练时会得到有趣的外观。

“It’s crazy,” Nikolaj Madsen told PlanetF1 from his home in Denmark. “I’ve got that question so many times where people say ‘how can it be hard to drive an F1 car?’

“想象一下,您在几秒钟内从每小时350公里到50公里。普通的人不了解这有多努力。”

对于外部的人来说,一级方程式1似乎不是体育运动最大的征税。与在炎热的阳光下坐在球场上或在球场上奔跑90分钟或在球场上奔跑几个小时相比,坐在汽车上呆了两个小时,这似乎是一个简单的选择,但是对于那些运动中的人来说圈可以。

作为两个物理学之一哈斯凯文·马格努森(Kevin Magnussen), Madsen has a better idea than most.

“我与凯文谈了很多话。‘如何驾驶它?这有多困难?’正常人无法想象它有多难,即使我不能。

“Some weeks ago, me and Kevin were training and I was just like ‘okay, well let me try this (one of Magnussen’s exercises)’ and it killed me! It was so hard.”

麦森(Madsen)和托马斯·乔根森(Thomas Jorgensen)一起,迫切的任务不仅使玛格努森(Magnussen)达到速度,而且在丹恩(Dane)是一周的时间内这样做airdropped in to replace Nikita Mazepin before the start of the 2022 season

“托马斯在测试期间[季节开始]之前的一个星期与我联系。我就像是“好吧,我们需要努力训练凯文,但不太努力,因为他正在上车。”很难找到平衡。他的状态还不错,但与其他赛车有很大不同。”

速度达到230英里 /小时,减肥范围从每场比赛的两到三公斤,在某些角落最多八千公斤,大奖赛可能是惩罚性的事 - 没有什么比在脖子上更重要的了。

“托马斯和凯文一起在沙特阿拉伯,他给我发了一张凯文的照片,脖子和头上都戴着胶带。他说,凯文在比赛结束后告诉他:“我不能用胶带抬起头,但是在我拿下胶带后,我仍然无法移动它。”

“这很激烈。显然,凯文(Kevin)知道驾驶一级方程式赛车是多么困难,但我认为他就像是“该死,这很难 - 我已经忘记了”。

“他很有竞争力,所以你不会听到他说'我不能开车',但我可以在他的眼中看到它。”

Madsen spoke of the many hours he spends pushing his hand into Magnussen’s neck – “I don’t think Kevin loves my thumb”, he joked – and while F1 drivers may be spared from some of the contact injuries footballers or other athletes endure, it is by no means smooth sailing.

麦森说:“ F1司机没有足球运动员受伤。”“但是[影响]脖子,前臂,他的胸部,肩膀和核心。

“They are pretty safe in the car so the injuries are quite low, but the soreness in the neck is the hardest part. There are a lot of headaches and a lot of bad rotation in the neck.”

To combat this, Madsen helped to design specific exercises for Magnussen that while they may make onlookers laugh, give him the strength to keep his head still while experiencing forces eight or nine times his body weight.

“We do a lot of hard exercises, especially with the core, the neck and the shoulders,” he explained.

“我们试图模仿他坐在车上的方式。我们考虑转弯以及凯文(Kevin)对脖子的作用,并尝试与之合作。

“We have a fitness centre where Kevin is training and I think a lot of people just laugh when they see me and Kevin train, because I’m just pulling his head down and just trying to rotate it and hold him like this for four minutes. So they are laughing a lot.”

During his career, Madsen has also trained professional footballers and other athletes but said it was difficult to compare fitness levels across sports.

“这是一个很难的问题,”当被问及与其他运动相比,麦森回答说,他对F1驾驶员的适应性有多高。“我曾与足球运动员和运动员合作,但这是不同的水平。他们需要有很多耐力。

“It’s like if you take something you can hold in your hands and just squeeze it and try to squeeze with your whole body. That’s how they feel when they drive for two hours. So I think they are very high.

“但是,当然,其他运动员正在使用其他肌肉。像足球运动员一样,他们擅长跑步,自行车骑手也不擅长跑步。因此,很难比较运动员。但是在赛车运动中,我认为F1和MotoGP是最难的。”

The result of this hard work was a P5 finish in Magnussen’s first race back in the series, but the hard work did not stop there. Seven races in, Madsen believes his Danish counterpart is physically up to speed but warned overtraining is always a risk, especially in the build-up to a race, and that sometimes all the 29-year-old needs is a kickabout and a slight massaging of his ego.

“在比赛周期间,我们没有太多时间进行训练。因此,这更像是试图踢一些足球或做很多事情和一点点锻炼,只是为了让他做好准备。我们不会通过练习完全杀死他,因为他需要表演。

“在我看来,我们可以对他进行很多对待,以便他可以做好准备,但是在训练和训练之前,他不能有肌肉酸痛。因此,我们只是做一些有趣的活动。在巴林,我们打了一些桨和一些乒乓球。

“当然,我让他赢了!”
