The steering wheel shot at 5:48 is really interesting compared to photos of the RB8 wheel when it was racing, especially now that there is a TCS dial and no KERS, with the KERS dial now labelled FANS - presumably as part of the show car fleet the car's been modified to cope with all of the crazy stunts that Red Bull use them for, hence traction control for when the car is being driven by non-F1 drivers, plus extra cooling for all the low-speed, high-rev wheel-spinny show car runs in city centres etc. Probably in the minority here but as a geek I'd love to know more about the post-F1 lives that these cars live.

[@VollstandigErleuchtung]

That actually might impact the performance of the car on track, unless they change everything up for events like these so it's suited for hotlaps.

[@halycon404]

The cars don't really have post-F1 lives. The life of cars after F1 is weird. If they win they end up in the manufacture's museums as show pieces. Ferrari in particular has spent way too much money on their museum. Some manufacture's just stick their winners in a garage near their test track and bring them out for press events. If they lose a lot of them will end up sold or donated to museums. If you do some research you can find a lot of F1 cars in public museums and national museums. A losing car that actually raced can have a lot of value after the season as a tax write off donation. Depending they can end up in engineering museums or art museums as some countries consider them moving functional art. The show cars are their own thing from start to finish. They start as a base chassis but a lot of the more expensive bits are removed and other bits are added on to increase longevity.

And Nico Rosbeg said, err, he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you to both. Is formula 1 driving today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure?

[@justamanchimp]

@@alisioardiona727 That explains why he got up to speed so quick then, but still, Porches are different beasts, to carry speed in modern f1 cars like the pros do, it will take years, not impossible, but. Quite unlikely I'd say. I'd even go as far as to say he would make Latifi look fast, that's how behind he will be. These f1 kids work their entire lives to get to the levels they get to, so he'd have to work every waking hour for two years just to get to get as good as Latifi lol. The only way it's possible is if he got sponsorship from an F1 team and he dedicated the next 2 years at least to training, testing, sim work, etc, and then learning all the knowledge of how to work with F1 engineers, how the cars work, etc etc, and then competed in a single seater championship like F2 perhaps. Without that he's got no chance honestly.

[@NightwishArena]

@@justamanchimp I don't see that much. He has been very fast on track already in Porsche Cup, with minimal training. This lap was already after one good push, and this was maybe 3 seconds off. I would say that he would have knocked over 1 second off in just 10 more laps for sure. So I'm pretty sure he would be within few tenths to one second after just one good session, but of course those last tenths are the hardest to shave.

@@ricoracer79 do you consider a 2003 car a “modern f1 car”?

[@solarfinder]

I love seeing cross disciplines like this. The push lap is one thing, knowing you're driving a to tier multi-million dollar car is another. Great job guys!

[@davejuniorsimracer]

Not bad at all great to see the crossover 👍 crazy the pole lap time here this yr was 1:04.3 😅

[@Skreamies]

It's been so good seeing him take up drifting as well, he's an absolute natural!!! Insane talent.

Boot sergio. WE WANT KALLE IN THE SEAT

[@vincenzodellapietra9147]

Spettacolare!!! 😊

[@RUNE-66]

And now we need to see a top F1 driver drive a top rally car. I think it will be harder than it was for Kalle. It's a different kind of crazy. 😂😂😂🥰 Great video!!!👍🤘

[@MattBrownShow]

Faster than Perez!

[@ZesPak]

Thanks Red Bull for giving us this. That Renault V8 sounds like heaven!

[@tiadaid]

This reminds me of how Sebastien Loeb came VERY close to bagging an F1 drive (with Toro Rosso, IIRC). If only the damn superlicence requirement didn't exist...

[@kantina4765]

The super licence makes sense in theory, the logic of keeping idiots out of very dangerous cars is sound. In practise it’s just a way to funnel money into the pockets of certain people by forcing young drivers to go through f3 f2 etc. The idea that indycar is somehow worth LESS than f2 is insane to say the least.

[@anonymouswhite352]

Considering around a circuit indy is faster than f2 it's ridiculous

[@andreharewood2384]

Kalle is just so good man wow 😲💯🎶👏👏👏

[@will6287]

I found the 2025 replace driver.

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Well he is 16 seconds slower than Verstappen here so a lot of work to do.

[@p3kka813]

You have no clue who you are talking about here 😅

[@Skaijjeri]

@@ChuckBeefOG Just give him about 10 more laps and he'll get there

[@LagmasterB]

That horizon leveling on camera is so nice. You can really see the slightest changes in track banking.

[@cup_and_cone]

He probably would have been significantly faster with some sim time beforehand - learning braking points, gears, entry and exits, etc.

[@Garbox80]

That engine was also more than likely tuned down to make corner exits a bit safer etc. That 1.15 was actually a very good run everything considered. Kalle wouldn't be last in qualifying if he had a bit of practise (and Red Bull's car). Competing a whole race would be a different story (he's not used to those g-forces).

[@einher1]

There's no way he was going to drive a few laps in an actual F1 without practicing the track beforehand with a sim.

[@zwjna]

@@Garbox80 More than likely not tuned down, or at least that won't be needed at all. He drives extremely tail-happy drifting cars, and most importantly, is a master at car control thanks to rally. Both things combined, no need at all to make the car "safer."

[@edurevelfood]

It's like listening Kimi and his passion about anything.

[@Simon_V_RDJ]

For a time of around 1.15, if Kalle had been racing against other cars from the Austrian GP of the 2014 era, he would be roughly 2 off pole and in the middle field. With rules stopping teams from using the most up to date cars for promo purposes with non F1 drivers I guess we'll never know Kalle could scare a few of the F1 drivers on the grid right now. But it does show that he can drive and that Finland truly is the best nation in teaching people how to drive. Kalle certainly has Sisu.

[@toddtroll2220]

Stupid to say that the skills of a single person has something to do with his nationality.

[@Simon_V_RDJ]

@@toddtroll2220 It's stupid to open your mouth without knowing about Finland and how they teach people in driving skills. Sit down Princess and go research on their culture.

[@ducedevlstear2471]

The best driver of all times ! Get him to F1 full on to dominate there as well.

[@critical]

8:02 "the lifting" does he mean the air getting under the helmet?

[@WoWoRific]

When he brakes, the G FORCE is so strong it’s hard to keep your head upright, or in his words “lifting”.

[@critical]

@ you sure thats what he mean? I see he doesnt have the same helmet they usually have and i have also done it with the ”wrong helmet” and experienced the head lifting when accelerating (more than what i expected) and im pretty sure that was the helmet

Plz give him Checo's seat! Imagine the marketing behind it. Isnt Red Bull meant to be bold? Plz give us fans the opportunity to witness this guy's talent in f1!

[@bonelessbeef]

Yes because 10 laps is more experience than Pérez 10+ years

[@henry247]

@bonelessbeef Do you really know who Rovanpera is? F1 would be a walk in the park for him bro. Lol

[@goobingtons]

​@@henry247buddy he's seconds slower than F1 drivers on one lap pace. There's no way he's going to be competitive over the course of a race. Not to mention he lacks the sponsor money that Perez brings in.

[@henry247]

@@goobingtons You know he can practice right? The fastest lap seen with this car at this circuit was 1:13...s by Marc Webber btw. You know he's just won a race on this track right? Lol you're saying that based on 10 laps? Do you know who tf he is? 😂
