Video puts you in the driver's seat of a speeding Formula One car

7/17/2012

Here’s proof that maneuvering a racecar around a rain-slick racetrack requires a bit more skill than overtaking grandmas on I-95. This video, shot with an eye-level mounted camera, lets you witness the curves and swerves from Brazilian racing driver Lucas di Grassi’s perspective as he takes an installation lap around Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps in less than splendid conditions. If the sound of the revving engine doesn’t freak you out, the numbers on the speedometer surely will – unless you’re a diehard speed demon and enjoy that heart-thumping, dizzy sensation.
