Down-the-line.com / Formula 1. Russian driver Robert Shvartsman, who is a test driver for Ferrari, spoke about his impressions of driving a Formula 1 car.

“Actually, it won’t be easy to describe the sensations. Imagine you are sitting in a narrow bathroom with the engine behind. And here you are sitting and holding the steering wheel. The first sensation is that you are literally squeezing. Everything literally rushes in front of you. At first you are simply surprised at the incredible speed of this car.

Also, you need to be in excellent physical condition, as you feel a lot of g-forces on every lap. About 3-4g. It is therefore also a certain challenge for the body, which, so to speak, asks: “What is even happening? Where are we going ? If I’m not mistaken, the pilot of the plane experiences overloads of 6-7 g. In our case, not like on a plane, but also a lot. But it’s really great. And it’s also cool that there are many outstanding Formula 1 drivers. When I first went to the track it was cool,” Schwartzman said on the Ferrari Esports Twitch channel.
