Max Verstappen and Lando Norris' Secret Weapon
According to RacingNews365, Max Verstappen and Lando Norris have collaborated with visual perception specialist Zoe Wimshurst. Her task is to speed up the processing of visual information at extreme speeds.
Verstappen underwent only one session with the doctor, while Norris has been working with her since before his Formula 1 debut. The collaboration reached remarkable details: Norris' team even tested whether the inner color of his helmet affects his vision while driving. Special tests confirmed that it indeed does.
Zoe Wimshurst: "The muscles that control the eyes are skeletal muscles, just like biceps or the hamstrings. It is entirely possible to train them to work faster."
