Can a regular person drive an F1 car? Say tomorrow we took you to track and presented a modern F1 car to you, could you do a few laps? Would you even be able to pull away? Or would you take Lewis’ seat for next year? • I used to work on events with Lotus F1, now Alpine F1, where we’d put people who’d never been on track, in a 2012 F1 car. • But what I really want to talk about is, how difficult is it for a non-racing driver to drive an F1 car? What are the biggest challenges and how far are they off the pace? • ➤ Subscribe for more incredible motorsport: https://goo.gl/AbD2f9 • ➤Follow us on: • ➤ Instagram- @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61Insta • ➤TikTok - @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61TikTok • ➤ iPad Drawing sponsored by Concepts, you can get an exclusive free trial here! - https://concepts.app/driver61 • Back before I started Driver61, I was racing and coaching - and one of the jobs I had was working with Winfield Racing School, based at Paul Ricard in France. • They work with the Alpine F1 team to put on probably the best driving experience in the world - driving a 2012 Lotus F1 car. That’s the car that Kimi drove when he did his “leave me alone” speech before going on to win in Abu Dhabi. • The F1 team would bring their sponsors and guests to drive the car - most of whom had never touched a race car, let alone driven an F1 car. • Me and my fellow coaches worked with people like David Croft, Seen Through Glass and Mr JWW and Matt from WTF1, among many other non-racers. It was one of the most amazing automotive adventures, getting to drive a real F1 car. • Imagine that, being invited to drive an F1 car for the first time. From what I could tell, they felt equal measures of excitement and nervousness. I actually spoke to Matt Creed who took part in the programme a few years ago, having only ever done a few driving experiences on track previously. • We’d give guests a briefing and a couple of sighting laps before strapping them into an F4 car - the first step in a very steep learning curve for them: 160 horsepower, 570 kilograms, full-slicks and wings. They’re quicker around a circuit than most hypercars, but actually, a good car to learn the ropes in. • 📺 F1 Driver’s Technique Explained • ➤ Senna’s bizarre technique: https://bit.ly/3lORK59 • ➤ How Schumacher’s style won 7 championships: https://bit.ly/3527cVz • ➤ Alonso’s strange steering: https://bit.ly/2Z7a93v • ➤ How Verstappen will be F1 champion: https://bit.ly/3jK6L6n • ➤ How Verstappen is so fast in the wet: https://bit.ly/32WMVhr • 📺 F1 Engineering • ➤ How F1 brakes work: https://bit.ly/3h0Whh0 • ➤ How an F1 clutch works: https://bit.ly/3i0oDJM • ➤ What’s inside an F1 gearbox: https://bit.ly/2DzMqRW • ➤ How F1 teams change four tyres in two seconds: https://bit.ly/2QVpkIl • 🏎️ Track Racing Driver! • ➤ Get a free report on your track driving: http://bit.ly/2LmYNBA • ➤ Get faster on track with our FREE 25-part tutorial series:http://bit.ly/2PypIMK • ➤ Our real-world training programmes: http://bit.ly/2ktjtgV • 🏁 Sim Racers! • ➤ My sim wheel: https://bit.ly/354BBlY • ➤ My sim pedals: https://bit.ly/3eJckQo • ➤ Our sim racing course: https://bit.ly/34WuV7p • ➤ Get a free report on your track driving: http://bit.ly/2LmYNBA • ➤ Driver61 Sim Racing Channel: http://bit.ly/2BMdk4B • #Formula1 #F1 #Driver61
