Yeah, I think this is a Reservoir dog shot right here. So, we have this beautiful McLaren 750S. Lando, you’re going to drive. All right, Brad first. Thank god it’s not the reverse. Then Brad’s going to drive. We’re going to put all the things we’ve learned together from you and go around. He’s going to drive you. Yeah, in theory. Yeah, we’ll see. There we go. This is This is All of it’s been building up to this moment. Yes, exactly. Looking back on a track my way. [Music] How many laps you go? We got two or three laps, huh? I have no idea, man. I’m going I’m along for the ride. Are you downshifting then here? Downshifting here. But this is fast. Fast. It’s almost just lifting. And you want to get over to this bit here. Open it up. Sacrifice that corner for here. Yeah, exactly. Sacrifice the first one to get a good exit. They’re quite far out. You’re at 100. Yeah. 100 meter board. Wow. Wow. [Music] Depending on how committed you are, this will be flat. Yeah. But in this car, it’s definitely not flat. Oh, that’s pretty. That’s fun. Oh my. Oh. Oh my god. Good fun, huh? Great fun. I mean, it feels so much sketchier in this cuz you’re just Yes, exactly. Man, man. Oh, this is fun for you. This is fun. 200 meter board. Oh. Oh my god. I’m shocked. This you can do that. But Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. That’s loose. And you want to get over to the right. Back on the right. Yeah. Damn. Damn. Then throttle just before the open. Oh my god. And then here at the 75 or the 50? Uh, I don’t know. Gotcha. That was good fun, huh? That’s more fun than the race car. Wow. Okay. Oh, first of all, it’s been about 6 months since I’ve been at the seat, so good luck to you, mate. I knowve I’m not going to miss the chance to ride with Brad Pit and Sunny Hayes at the same time. My god. Let’s not frighten each other. Oh boy. Good luck to you, my friend. They just go flat out through the first two parts of that. It’s just mad. But the car sticks scary as to me. This is the late apex. Really late apex. Oh, so I came I too early there, wasn’t I? What a mess. What a mess. That’s right. I admire you for having a go. It’s unbelievable. Oh, I think this could be something I want to keep up. And you got to hit the brakes about now. Wow. I can’t believe that. But there will be breaking at about the 125. No, 175. You’re 80. They break at 80. God, no. Lando says give it 60% through here. Okay. Good grip. But And then you got to line up for this one. Yeah. Now you go in deep. No, you got to go in. You got to go in deep and then over. Yeah. Come in. Oh my god. Got him. Wow. That’s as much excitement as I need. Excellent. Do you want to come around with me? Yes, I’d love to. Yeah, let’s do that. Okay, let’s switch her up. I got him back in one piece. An accomplishment in itself. Every corner is a little bit slower than the one before it. Late apex through. Yeah. It goes down, down, decreases, decreases. Yeah. Wow. Oh, that’s lovely. We’re breaking the F1 car about I don’t know. I’d recommend about 120, I reckon. D. I like how you say we missed the first one. Miss, miss, hit miss. Little bit of traction control there. I don’t think you need the last one. And then Oh, that’s sweet. Wow. Pretty. And then it all becomes poetry when you get it right. I wouldn’t know. You know what? Sunny Hayes came back. He raced with Center and Frost in the 80s like I did and Martin Brundle in the early ‘9s. Yeah, but then he came back and won a race. I didn’t manage to I didn’t manage to do that. I’m so jealous. That’s the power of film. Thanks for that. I enjoyed that immensely. That was mega. [Music] How are you? I’m a cloud nine. How are you? Oh my god. I can’t actually believe they let us have a go. I know. It’s madness. I can’t believe we got away with this whole thing the last few years. I can’t believe you guys let us on the track. Lando, I know you got to fly off and be really famous somewhere. My stomach is in a knot because I’m gonna have a go now. Brad’s having a go later. I mean, final advice, please. Uh, it’s what it’s my car, so don’t crash. Uh, it’s always the best word of advice. Got it. Um, I know. I have faith in you guys. I definitely have faith in you. Yeah. Yeah. Me. We’re working on it. We’re working on it. All right. Um, just enjoy like enjoy. I mean, it’s simple comment, right? But, uh, enjoy it. Um, you can probably push it more than you think. I think like you’ll always be a bit afraid of can I do it or not? Just give it some. It will stick. If it breaks, all these guys here, they’ll fix it. So, but uh yeah, get your throttle down as early as you can. The faster you go, the more you kind of get through that little bit of fear if you have any. Uh and then break as late as you can. Great. Great. Simple, man. Easy as that. That’s all I do. Easy. Best of luck. Thank you, sir. I wish you advice. have fun and uh I watch all the videos and I’ll send you some comments after and see how you guys do. So 20 bar plus of brake pressure. Exactly. And then red and yellow those two for at least a second. At least a second up to five till it fires up. In the Apex car, you might have had an adjustable dial to change brake bias. Above my pay grade, my friend. [Music] Radio check. Radio check. Okay, Martin. Uh, can we put the pit lane with Lun? That’s the PMS button. Here we go in pit lane up to the first corner. Let’s just try and see how the brakes are going. Wow, that’s incredible. Oh, yeah. Brakes are amazing. And you’re okay to open them up? Yeah, here we go. Up into the bumpy braking zone. Can barely see the corner. This should be blood through here. Martin car just sticks beautifully. I’m going to open the DRS as soon as I hear the beep. There it is. Oh wow. Oh yeah. Flapped out. Unbelievable grip. Can we do another film? Oh, we can do one more lap. Yep. Here’s the corner. It disappears. Oh, yeah. It just sticks. You just got to believe it’ll stick. There we go. Bang. Hit the brake. What are your final thoughts? Wow. What a wonderful experience. Can’t believe McLaren have given me this car on this amazing racetrack. [Music] It’s so hard to see. How do you guys race wheel tow wheel like that? I mean, literally I I I could have been anywhere on the first lap. Could have been any track. That was as much information overload as I’ve ever had in my life. Thanks for the loaner. Can I keep this steering wheel when I finished as a momento? Thanks. You’re all heart. Thank you. It’s Oscar’s wheel. Anyway, so on the way out on the very first lap, I’ll get you to do some radio checks. Always toggle on, toggle off. Exactly. Yeah. Um, if you leave it on, um, you’ll yell at me. I’ll tell you. Asking politely to turn it off. And radio when I hit pit lane. Uh, yeah. If you could go Brad pit lane. Okay. That just lets the mechanics know. Confusing, isn’t it? Get going. Brad, sorry Oscar and I couldn’t be here with you today. Uh we’re here in can doing a little bit of work. I hope you have an awesome day. I’m glad we’ve been able to make this work. But yeah, I hope you have fun. I hope you enjoy it. And uh yeah, great. See you later. That’s so sweet. Are you still buzzing? Yeah. Yeah, it’s amazing. Yeah. Yeah. What got your attention? Um yeah, just the arrival speed into the corners. Yeah, it just goes and goes. The relentless acceleration of the thing. But it’s good. Full respect for get having going through with it and getting in it. Yeah, I mean first got this is the newest F1 car you can drive without being a Formula 1 driver. I mean this is cutting edge. No, it’s unprecedented. You know, get a lot of perks in this job. This one number one. Number one. [Music] Good luck, my friend. Let’s get busy. It’s big. It’s fast. It’s relentless. [Applause] Just so impressed. Going to do it. Okay, Brad. Radio check. Radio check. Good. All comfortable in there. Yeah. Snug as Let’s get some speed up on this back straight and we can go recharge off. Recharge off. Yep. And you’re good to open it up. You let me know if I’m going too slow. [Applause] He’s definitely going for it. Keep pushing. Keep pushing. Not a rush. We’re out of rush. [Music] Heat. Heat. on the racing line. Plenty of throttle coming out the last corner. Impressive. And we can box this lab. Recharge on. Okay, Brad. How was that? Fantastic, my friend. It’s a whole lot bigger horse than I’ve been on. So, I say the faster you go, the quicker it ends. You have my absolute full respect. You just went out and got on with it. What choice do I have? What did you think? Oh my god, what a rush. What a rush. When I heard you going to drive this car, I thought, is he really? That’s a big ask. We all did. That’s a big ask. But you’ve learned a lot then in making the movie because you were on right on the racing line just doing all the right things. Oh, that’s great. They said we put 6,000 miles in the car. Yeah. Over the year and a half of filming or two years plus training. Yeah. Which, you know, and they paid me. You know what I mean? Like, how do I get away with that one? We’re lucky people in this sport. Ah, I feel lucky to like get to hang out for these two, three years that we’ve done it. Like, it’s kind of like now what? Well done, Brad. Uh, what great fun. Wow. Wow.
