F1 Jeff Gordon Drives Williams F1 at Indianapolis

[@mpa1931]

Jeff went on it straight away, shows how talented of a driver he is.

[@themidnightinator]

I think Williams wanted to sign Gordon after this.

[@gavynhohon2818]

@@themidnightinator would have been cool to see, but it would have been a bad career choice.

[@themidnightinator]

@@gavynhohon2818 Since Williams and BMW’s relationship was going sour, I can see what you mean.

[@downnice95]

There were actually rumors that Gordon was going to sign with BAR in 2000

[@scapegoat413]

I was thinking the exact same thing dang

[@jonathonpoloski917]

Didn't take that long to figure out the line and braking points. It's unbelievable how talented of a driver he is.

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

You know he had a MASSIVE smile on his face during the whole run xD

this v10 is one of my all time favorite f1 cars.

[@connorbingel7134]

That corner that is INDY turn 1 is fucking amazing. I love that damn corner

[@Breacher456]

That camera shake is awesome. Every. Single. Time! What I wouldn't give to see cars using V10s again. Or a time machine to experience this era. (I was way too young during this era, so i sadly missed it.)

[@HammerHeart3229]

Maybe this is just me but I've always taken the 'Americans can only turn left' thing to be harmless banter/shit talking. Although I suppose there are more than likely some ultra snobby F1 fans that think like that I suppose! I'm an F1 guy and have been most of my life, I'm also admittedly not a massive fan of American motorsport besides IndyCar when I can watch it but to me oval racing, especially open wheel oval racing like in IndyCar? That takes big balls in my opinion! Going wheel to wheel on an oval at racing speed is not something I would be willing to do! 😂

[@TheOwl22]

[@bbs1221]

Don’t think people realize that Jeff was intentionally breaking early because he didn’t have a Hans device so his neck couldn’t sustain the loads for breaking … still pushed the hell outta that car for what it was

[@hmx619]

I just wanna say I think it’s really cool how most pro drivers can hop in each others cars and for the most part they know how to get some pace going 😮

He's ridiculously driving excellently, like if he had done this many times, when he's actually not ! That's absolutely insane ! A very talented driver that's it

[@duffman18]

He had a history of driving open wheel cars and was never meant to join nascar, it just happened that way, maybe cos there was so much money in nascar at the time. But it's not like it's his first time in an open wheel car.

[@slimbrady6691]

@@duffman18 Jeff ran open wheel cars but not the kind you're thinking of. He ran midgets and sprints on dirt ovals. Completely different animal.

I think Chevy or Ford needs to go into F1 with an American team. Love to see the best from Indy run full-time in F1 for a few seasons to get them established.

[@709mash]

F1 is WAYYY to expensive right now for anyone to come in and be competitive. There are only 3 teams that go balls out with spending. I don't see any new factory teams joining anytime soon, unless the FIA implement a spending cap or something along those lines. Here's hoping.

[@fruitloops781]

@@709mash they are for 2021. The issue is that the field is limited to 24 cars, and they still are using an expensive hybrid setup so its fucked.

[@catmandew7431]

Plus doesn't Ford and Ferrari have or were rivals?

[@s19pajua13]

Ethan Weeter I always wondered why ford didn’t put the extra effort into getting into F1 if they were making F1 engines for a while back then

[@unluckyy-w8f]

Honestly F1 need more than 10 team, i hope american manufacture can join in.
