As much as shows tend to manufacture heightened reactions to come across as more entertaining for the audience, this clip always felt like Hammond's 100% real reaction to that car.

This one of the first clips I personally saw that helped put the level that these F1 cars operate at into a perspective that I could understand.

This clip was also the start of my burning desire to somehow experience one of these cars one day.

At Brands there are sometimes rides in twin seat F1 cars for brave souls.

I remember that, and I remember thinking crap, you can't just drive slowly, there won't be any heat in the tires and brakes, what a position to be in. Pure fear really.
