Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo Outperform F1 Cars
No joke, according to these stats, their kicks can accelerate a ball faster than an F1 car can take off from grid, they corner more during a game then a McLaren at Silverstone and much more!
ACCELERATION & AGILITY
▪ Victor Valdes be warned – if Ronaldo is given the chance to launch one of his trademark free kicks, the Barca keeper will face a ball accelerating at 32 metres per second compared to a Formula 1 car at 4.6 metres per second.
▪ And United’s defenders must somehow cope with Messi’s astonishing agility that allows him to make more turns and changes of direction in one game than a Formula 1 car competing in the Silverstone Grand Prix race.
