Driving an F1 car

[JohnCh]

If you’ve ever wanted to know what it is like to drive an F1 car, this three part video is it. Absolutely brilliant! (note: some spontaneous profanity in the second video while Chris is on track)

Excellent. And on an icy track :crazy:

Really really brilliant. I loved the Hammond F1 stunt, but this is even better. That first spin scared the crap out of me.

 

I have nothing but awe for F1 pilots.

Brilliant!

That's excellent.

 

I love Brundle's line about the brakes before they're up to temp. "It's just a place to rest your foot while you're on your way to an accident."

 

I'd love to drive one, but I think given the choice, I'd almost rather be driven around by one of the big dogs on demo laps.

Man, I've been SO busy the last few days... finally had a chance to sit down and watch these. THANKS a buch for posting them. Great videos. :cheers:

 

... and I'm with xflow7 on "It's just a place to rest your foot while you're on your way to an accident.". Great line

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for posting that. Those cars are amazing. When I saw them in person for the first time at the USGP in 2006, I could not get over the level of performance. The acceleration, the braking and the cornering abilities of those cars and drivers is unlike anything else. In the video when they were talking about the guys at the back of the grid, I remembered an interview with Bryan Herta when he went to test F1. He said that Jan Magnussen had told him that the worst car on the F1 grid would be the best race car he'd ever driven.
