What an F1 Driver Sees and Does While Racing

submitted by Zifnab

YouTube Description:

Join in an installation lap around Barcelona with Lucas di Grassi - first time ever eye-level camera real driver point of view.Quote:" I had to drive with only one eye open as the camera was blocking my other eye, quite tricky"

Neat, though he was definitely taking it easy through that lap.

I'd love to see a similar view during a qualifying lap, what with DRS, KERS, brake bias changes, engine mapping changes, etc. According to Vettel it's almost like they have to text while driving all the way through the entire race these days.

I'm inspired to break out the Momo now.

I let them borrow my car for this video. :3

You own the ex-Toyota Pirelli test car? You could at least claim to own a cool car!>> ^ForgedReality:

1080p with loud headphones. That sound, oh that sound.

THAT. LOOKS. SO. FUN!

While neat, it just seems silly to literally get an eye level view which blocks the drivers eye.
Depth perception is pretty essential I'd think, for driving.

I'd settle for a forehead view or cheekbone view.
At least then you would see them driving at their full potential.

*sports

Adding video to channels (Sports) - requested by Trancecoach.

Nice downshifting to avoid breaking.
