Look at this - it’s Jenson Button in a Super GT car. Look at his hands, you can see why he is considered one of the smoothest drivers in Formula 1.

But is smoother actually faster? Yes, but no. Let me explain.

—

Some drivers ‘drive the wheels off the car’ hacking away at the steering wheel, and some (on the surface) like they are driving to the shops. And it’s two ways of doing the same thing - driving a car fast.

Drivers like Vettel, Alonso, Schumacher and (to an extent) Max - all drive with more aggressive inputs on the steering wheel, throwing the car into a corner, or MAKING it rotate in the mid-corner.

This makes things look fast, and when done right - it is!

But people like Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost and later Jenson Button - were SUPER SMOOTH. Turning into the corner with one smooth sweep, making it look incredibly easy.

If you just looked at the steering wheel it looks like they are taking a corner on a back-road, on a Sunday Drive.

But Button was the epitome of this, the was THE SMOOTHEST driver in recent memory. And he did it well, winning 15 races, beating Lewis in his time as a teammate and taking the 2009 world championship. (That was a favourite year for a lot of us).
