Elite athletes are different from regular people. Case in point: Most of us drive cars, but we don’t do it the way race car drivers do. German professional race car driver Nico Hülkenberg of the Sahara Force India Formula 1 team recently put on a special pair of eye-tracking goggles before racing around a track while being filmed by Sky Sports F1.
