I'd imagine most F1 drivers are a bit control freaky. Not having the wheel in your hands or pedals at your feet would probably make you nervous. Doctors make the worst patients and all that.

Yeah, I'm a shocking passenger. Whenever my mother-in-law drives and I'm a passenger I grip on for dear life smile

Massa needs a cushion to see over the steering wheel...

He looked like a 12 year old in that.

David Coulthard is terrible for this, every time.

I remember that from Russia. hehe It's amazing given how I'd imagine the sensation of speed is in an open wheeled single seater at 200MPH. I guess in a racecar you're strapped in a lot tighter and can brace yourself much better.

More understeer than a canal boat, but then again I think he was about 20mph too fast for that car in that corner!

I'm going to guess that is the Pizzonia/S Type incident?

ETA: Yep - braked rather too late there!

I seem to recall he admitted afterwards that he used his braking point from the F1 car....

Easy to get confused, that US S-Type grand prix was fantastic last night.

If I was in the passengers seat I'm sure it would shcensoredt me up a bit but I would have 100% confidence if Alonso was driving.
