Watch a 23-Year-Old F1 Car Smash a New Indy Car’s Lap Time at Laguna Seca
O’Ward clocked a 1:10.3, some seven-tenths quicker than the 1:11 he set in qualifying for this year’s IndyCar race there, and 0.5 seconds up on the pole time of Colton Herta. It was an altogether successful outing, one O’Ward looks set to relive, as McLaren CEO Zak Brown promised the young driver on Twitter that he’d see him in Abu Dhabi for an F1 test. So, even though the scuttled Andretti F1 deal means we won’t be getting an American F1 driver any time soon, plenty of us would be glad to settle for seeing yet another fellow North American in F1.
Dang, the sound of those cars- the one at the end of the video, and the one pato does sound effects to- are awesome- vicious sounding engines- so cool!
