Video: Incredible turbo F1 Silverstone POV

The view is basically what driver Alex Brundle sees ahead of him, even down to the haze of his helmet’s visor, as he pilots Teo Fabi’s Toleman-Hart T185. Alex’s father Martin Brundle will have battled against this car in the 1985 F1 season aboard his Tyrrell. 

The noises, the roar of the wind, and vibrations of the car are overwhelming as they come through the camera and its microphone with remarkable viscerality. Of course, that’s how it seems to the average person with no experience of racing cars. For Brundle Jr. it’s another day at the office. So yes, he quickly gets the Toleman up to speed around Silverstone, rowing through the gears and building pace as the tyres begin to warm up.
