DRIVING A REAL FORMULA 1 CAR [Best Moment Of My Life!]

[@tyrereviews]

That's such an amazing thing to have done, it still doesn't seem real. Epic edit as always! See you on the next thing!

[@seenthroughglass]

Couldn’t have made this video without Jonathan’s help. He’s a G. Check out his channel for awesome videography and all things tyres

[@Chris_Brah]

Sam's stuff is almost up to par with Top Gear standards, amazing as always...

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

What a... I mean... he... yeah. He drove a Formula 1 car.

[@sayatkenzhegulov]

Its awesome mate!

[@davidrallison7038]

Imagine if Sam were an actual F1 driver Engineer: "P2 Sam... P2, great job" Sam: "We'll speak later..... In the podcast of course"

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha. So true

[@weird.6262]

Seen Through Glass podcast any time on track and talk to the guys sam? that would be great!

[@danielmcbeth9774]

When you turn the assists off for the first time

[@Splint993]

When you floored it at 8:20 it simultaneously gave me chills, tears in my eyes, and a giant grin!! The thought of what you were experiencing as an F1 race fan and car enthusiast just made me happy. Always cool to see someone living out their dream!

[@matthiassalzburger3926]

The production value of this video, considering you make it by yourself or with the help of one person holding the camera for a couple of shots, is insane. Good job and congrats to you achieving this experience.

[@rohansharma4832]

Matthias Salzburger totally agree with you !! It was like watching a movie

[@Crazzycarguy]

Play video speed at 1.25x he looks like a pro 😂😂

[@alvarorochili6455]

True

[@eemeeke]

Not really works on the end of the first lap :P :D

[@safdharshameema660]

Yeaahhh

[@Driver61]

Nice to see you there Sam - everything looked great on track and your data!

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks for all your help!

[@alexsmolikFrance]

This was amazing Sam !!! Absolutely loved everything in this video, the backstory, the editing, everything was top notch. Great work, as usual.

[@seenthroughglass]

Cheers buddy

[@tommyoo771]

couldn't agree with you more on this mate. The backstory and the song track at the start made me wonder if i was watching a petrolicious video.

[@pagani4488]

Haha Alex on retrouve la communauté de passionnés 👍

[@ShiftingLanes]

Best part was seeing you get on it and know all the lines. True F1 fan knowing the track. Awesome Sam! Well done mate. -Gregson

[@thibaudprevot4270]

theyre learning the track before with slower cars. you really think theyre gonna let random people drive an f1 car on a car they dont even know

[@alainacallahan5030]

Stop being so hard on yourself Sam! You didn't break the car, and the POV glasses and mic didn't fail. You achieved a dream and shared it with us all. It was amazing and beautiful. Thank you!

[@nicolaihald2184]

I'm freaking out just watching this Sam! I would've just collapsed of happiness if I were you 😅

[@seenthroughglass]

Thank you! Such an insane experience

[@wackojacko123]

Grow up Niko

[@nicolaihald2184]

Seen Through Glass I can only imagine! As a huge F1 fan all my life myself, I enjoy every second of this video, as the emotions are captured so real. Thank you!

[@nicolaihald2184]

I don’t get why people hate others being enthusiastic 😂

[@woah4288]

Nicolai Hald don’t worry about it they are just hating because they aren’t happy about there life I would of felt the same as I am also a huge F1 fan

[@AutomotiveDaily]

13:26 Sam did you just Bwoah?

[@dantonchat71]

Hey Sam, sound was absolutely ace, thanks for letting me be part of your enjoyment that was genuinely awesome

[@Gertjano]

Sam! You did it! I am so happy for you! Dreams are made to come true for you mate! Not only for you but also for us as long term viewers this is a monumental piece of content. To back that up, i just skipped my appointment at work haha. Edit: After seeing the video, speechless…. The editing, the scenery and your eyes in the video telling the story. I see you put a lot of work in this top notch video, great great great work!

[@seenthroughglass]

I had to give everything on this video. Meant so much to me. So glad I could share it with you all

[@wackojacko123]

I think I'm going to be sick

[@Gertjano]

Seen Through Glass True to that! Starting from the POV-log in an Audi on the streets of London to now driving an F1 car in the South of France… it came a long way but you did it! Congrats on this huge accomplishment and wish you all the succes with STG & BTG, keep it up! 💪🏻

[@lukerenphrey2858]

No way. You stalled an F1 car on your first lap!

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha, stalled whilst on track! Not even when pulling away. FML! Haha such memories

[@tompog897]

I think he done really well after. I should t imagine it’s very easy to tame.

[@mat2941]

Jetfighter 1000 i wonder how many times you had the chance to stall one...

[@tenchinhanu]

Beautiful video, Sam! Congratulations on fulfilling a life-long dream of yours, and thanks for sharing the experience with us!!

[@justabouteverything4924]

Your best video yet. Absolutely amazing Sam 👍

[@kayineson4220]

Actually crying watching this!! I’m so happy for you!! I can’t imagine how you felt! You will need tissues!! So so happy and what a edit!!

[@HarryJ10]

Absolute goosebumps at 8:24 when you finally nailed the throttle! Congratulations Sam, its inspiring to watch people such as yourself and Paul Wallace achieve their dreams through KZbin. I hope I get to live life as well as you do and achieve my aspirations!

[@itsjoel]

It’s a madness! Nice drone work ;)

[@Salomondrin]

This was so fucking bomb dude! I see you hitting those turns! :P

[@lakshyaautomotive]

[@StefABtv]

*Sam, amazing mate. What an opportunity. So pleased for you. So much hard work getting to this moment and to drive an F1 is incredible. Well done!*

[@timcasey5835]

Well driven Sam!! I hope the team were suitably complementary because from where I’m sitting you properly drove that car - smooth lines, breaking points and really opened it up as you said hitting the 162.5mph limiter on the back straight - well done Sir !!

[@Habdabi]

Is it possible to like a video faster... i dont think so. Truly epic stuff Sam, keep smashing it out the park like you have this last year bro!

[@seenthroughglass]

Thank you!

[@HeartBrains]

I'm new to this channel but how come this guy doesn't have at least 1M subs is beyond me. Your passion for cars and motorsport are incredible!

[@aminemk6192]

Please invite Mr.JWW on your podcast so you'll talk about it together !

[@PlaneAndSimple1]

Yes! Make this happen!

[@mostlypostie1]

Yes!!!!!!

[@seenthroughglass]

Working to make this happen

[@seanbooth7330]

Yes! That'd be an awesome podcast :)

[@AmDsus2Fmaj7Am]

Yes, James and you would be great to listen to. And, if you can, get Marchettino there as well; he spun on his lap. :) You did a great job. And you appeared much faster than anyone I saw driving those at Paul Ricard. I wonder if you can get Renault to give the telemetry of everybody and compare. That would be hilarious. Cheers

[@thetmh3939]

Been following you for 2 years now...IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU RN!!!! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!

[@mtnvalley9298]

Life goals going down one by one....thanks for posting Sam!

[@fud1376]

You're One LUCKY Boy.......Nice to see you Floor it down the straight...Quality

[@yordyiam]

Now that's what you call fulfilling a life goal! I can appreciate the "shakes" you get when you pilot something that is so far from any domestic vehicle. The first time I raced my motocross bike flat out through the gears, I couldn't hardly breathe for five minutes after! :). Congratulations on that accomplishment Sam.

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

Oh my goodness Sam! I am seriously tearing up here. Of automotive personality I have ever watched drive a Formula One car, you are by far the best. You got some serious speed going there. I do not know you at all but I am still so happy for you. Well done that man.

[@ArkansasPublicHunts]

That’s very inspirational Sam! Everyone dream your dreams and reach for the stars! You can do whatever you put your mind to! Congratulations Sam! We’re all so happy for you! So deserving

[@error404blah]

My brain and heart would've exploded if that were me, top job Sam!

[@seenthroughglass]

I think I nearly passed out with nerves and excitement at one point

[@ascorbic123]

You gave it some beans, I'm impressed. Every other person I've seen get this chance has been too scared to go over 10k revs.

[@seenthroughglass]

Only had one shot, had to give it some welly

[@tommyoo771]

this is definitely the most genuine feeling. i can feel your voice trembling when you say "yes, that is the first time i have said it out loud." Thank you for sharing such an intimate story of yours with us, Sam. Truly happy for you, mate.

[@Dotherightthing832]

You wouldn't believe how happy this video made me feel!When You got onto the main straight and floored the accelerator I was genuinely smiling for You mate...fair play!This video proves that it's worth having dreams/goals in life...

[@ThibauTM]

Loved the vid ! I can't even imagine what it was like the first time you openend it wide at 8:19. I got goosebumps sitting behind my screen. Bravo Sam !

[@seenthroughglass]

The feeling was like nothing Ive ever experienced before. My guts are still somewhere back in France

[@ThibauTM]

Ahah I can relate a bit to that. I will remember all my life the feelings i had first time I picked up a AMG GT in solarbeam yellow. Would have been my dream spec and it was a car that I dreamt a lot of since it's unveiling. I remember smiling from ears to ears when being handed the keys by the Mercedes PR. Going to the car park and having tears of joy sitting in there, starting the engine. Taking deep breaths along the first drive and pinching myself. I felt the same when watching you floor the F1 for the first time, and watching your eyes do the talking in the pitbox. You nailed that video like no one else. It's one of the most meaningful vids I watched on here ! Thanks for sharing !

[@africaidentify]

Duuuude!!!!! You will forgive me if I'm jealous. You done made my day. Thank you Sam You're a LEGEND!

[@bmx687]

Brings a tear to my eye seeing you accomplish your dreams with such great joy Sam. I doubt you'll read this, but thank you for all of the motivation over the years to accomplish my dreams. I recently finished my Doctorate in Pharmacy here on the states. I owe a peice of that success to those who have motivated me to keep pushing. Sam you are among the few. I have been with you since you were contemplating the 4c or TTRS, and you have been with me since I started graduate school. Here's to the future Sam! To the starts through difficulties! Love you man. - mike

[@veereshsangolliV12]

Living the absolute dream sam!!!😁😀

[@34boilerhouse]

What a great video, been a subscriber for some time now and so great to watch you realising a dream! I for one liked that the in car footage had no narration - was willing you on down those straights! Epic Sam

[@paulkramer2893]

This was one hell of a video mate!!! I think this was your best video so far and one hell of an experience!!!

[@JXBModels]

Of all the people deserving of an experience such as this, Sam - you're one of the few at the top of the list who would appreciate the chance the most. I'm glad you got to experience and live a boyhood dream. It's just plain cool to live your dreams.

[@Carls_World]

That is awesome! Congrats man. Are you buying one for the channel? Lol haha 😜 😜 😜

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha Cayman replacement revealed

[@Carls_World]

[@sw651]

The footage entering the track on the last lap you showed was awesome. I am so excited for you. The smile you had after says it all.

[@chillout1109]

Sam - your personality has to be one of the best on youtube... genuinely entertaining and always laugh watching your videos. Glad you got to do this - Im mad jealous! As an Infiniti owner myself - Im glad they are hooking you up! Can we expect some Danny Ric content since he is with Renault/Infiniti now!?!

[@haydenrose5261]

Congrats mate, a very lucky thing for you to do

[@ellisd82]

Been waiting for this video! did not disappoint. So happy for you, well done in achieving a dream!

[@teamsleep76]

Fantastic film Sam. I was smiling every time you floored it.

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

Sam I'm so happy for you, that moment you got on the front straight and floored it the sound was heavenly

[@nichollpictures]

Just listening to the car and watching POV from the intake was perfect. Congratulations and achieving something so incredible.

[@DaryelAnthony123]

I know this is a car related video and what a car! But the opening just after the intro before we see Sam, was just spectacular camera work. The whole mood was set with the music and i thought i was watching an actual travel show, thats not a bad thing for me. That is how good this channel i feel is. Then we actually got onto the car stuff. OMG!!! that view we get atop the car is fantastic, im glad we didn't have any audio other than the cars noises thats what i want to hear. Seriously good video Sam. So glad i subbed this channel last year. The passion you have for cars in incredibly fun to watch and i love that you have an older Ferrari so much more relatable to me. As in i might be able to afford one rather than the mental 812 or what have you. ARGH seriously so good!

[@jameshill8711]

Very interesting and great overall content.. Your extremely lucky to be offered such an experience, I'm sure it will live long in the memory.

[@ChooChooChattanooga]

STG, what a once in a lifetime experience. Good for you and love the videos. #ENVYSTG
