Driving Style Secrets: We answer your questions about five 21st century greats

As a bonus in the feed, we're bringing you our Driving Style Secrets Q&A episode. Driving Style Secrets is a podcast series available exclusively in The Race Members' Club on Patreon. In Season 3, which finished recently, Edd Straw and Mark Hughes took a deep dive into the driving techniques of five of F1's 21st century greats: Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg - and here they answer questions from the Race Members' Club about each of them!

Edd and Mark start things off by discussing who, out of our five drivers covered, dealt with Lewis Hamilton the best. They then go on to discuss how Fernando Alonso's driving style saves tyres, how much of a driving style is deliberate versus instinctive, how each driver's technique evolved over time, why Raikkonen's career arc was linked to tyre philosophy changes, and what would have happened had Vettel gone up against Hamilton at Mercedes. There's also an explanation for why the fastest F1 drivers rarely exhibit flashy car control, and why Alonso is good but perhaps not great in wet conditions.
