Where's the red bull ad....?

Answer me one question. Given the luck and privilege of his life, how many of you, given the same good fortune, could not do what he does? Given the time and money, would you not indulge in fun pursuits? Hell, i'd love to learn how to fly a jet or helicopter. I'd love the fame to be invited to drive an F1 car.This is not envy talking, it is reality. Best of luck to him. But, please, don't tell me he is special. Of course his fans will say he is supremely talented..Hmm, ok.


If I had his money, I'd buy one of these

Tom Cruise with Red Bull on his chest?

Oh, they paid him, baby. They paid him.

>> ^bareboards2:
How much did they pay him?

i really hope they didn't have to pay him for this massive ego stroke.

You have to have unbelievable reaction times to race F1 cars. I'd imagine regular slow life must be pretty boring to these super humans.

One common thing I've noticed when reading interviews is that they tend to drive really boring cars. When you're used to driving at those speeds every road legal car will feel boring no matter what, so you might as well be practical.


But yeah, those things are simply astoundingly fast. Even in simulators you first think you're going fast driving a stock car, then you try a GT car and the stock ones feel like they're standing still, and then you jump in an F1 and GT cars feel just as slow. And in reality the differences are even bigger. The fastest lap in the 2010 GT1 race at Spa was 2:17.605 (qualifying time). Same year Mark Webber managed 1:45.778 in his Red Bull. Same layout. Over half a minute over 4.352 miles, the F1 car would lap the GT car every four and a half laps or so.
