Former F1 pilot for Virgin Racing and now official test driver for Pirelli, Lucas di Grassi has strapped on an eye-level camera and set out for a lap at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. Despite being shot through a wide angle lense it's still about as close to the sensation of sitting in the drivers seat of an F1 car as most of us are likely to get.
According to di Grassi, driving with the camera fixed to his head wasn't an easy task. "I had to drive with only one eye open as the camera was blocking my other eye, quite tricky," he said.
Even though di Grassi isn't really giving it the full beans, the sensation of speed is still pretty impressive. Sit back, watch in full screen and enjoy:
