Ferrari F1 2008 at Silverstone with a helmet cam

very lucky boy to get to drive this car. it is like nothing else.

What I commend this guy about, is the fact that he clearly isnt trying throughout all these years to make a career out of youtube or earn income. He is just sharing just a fraction of his unique experiences with the rest of the world. He is not aiming to have subscribers or views. He just uploads videos that you can rarely find anywhere. It amazes me how petrol heads havent (apparently) discovered this gem of a channel, that offers an incredible insight on some extremely rare machines out there. I mean how many own a Formula 1 car and offer you POV rides with it? As a fellow petrol head I want to thank you for doing this. This type of sharing is genuine and authentic. Something rare these days.

[@Doubledeepfried]

Was thinking the same thing, glad he doesnt care and just keeps uploading

[@AlexanderWest]

You don't think I should be doing some clickbait title, come and look at me when I drive the amazing yada yada and do a 5minselfie shoot at the beginning?;) You tube happens to be an easy place to store some videos I like to share with friends at times. If others like them as well great. Glad you enjoy it and thanks for the comment

@@AlexanderWest And that's what makes you one of the best. You're clearly passionate about this, and I can only hope to meet you one day

[@noodlish]

So fast it makes the world pink

[@HrDacke]

Saw this car at Ring Knutstorp in Sweden some years ago, unreal experience with this incredible sound on that tiny, tiny track! 😊

[@ericmin832]

As others have said, it's incredible to see someone who owns a whole fleet of multi-million track toys and shares footage online. No one else like you on the internet. Keep it up bro I love your content

[@elijahvincent985]

To hear the classic howl of the V8 Engine is just music to my ears.

[@joes.h3687]

I don’t know how I stumbled on this video, but I’m glad I did! This is dope

[@jenkszy3684]

Amazing footage, one of my favourite generation of f1 cars were the original modern v8s👌🏻

[@enricopiscopiello5920]

i just love the way you have the car flowing without pushing the limit, it feels definetly fast, smooth and enjoyable. As many said, thanks for sharing such experience

[@AlexanderWest]

is that code for that i am driving slowly ;)? it is a piece of racing history as it is the car Massa won the last race in Brazil so donte exaclty want to risk it...

[@razzor4708]

This is awesome man! Thank you! The only things you need to try - is awd rally cars. Rally cars are so aggressive, and yet - agile. I tried once WRC '03 Subaru Impreza STI WRC - and this thing was wild!

[@roletnabih]

Amazing angle. Almost looks like video game. What a beauty of car. Thanks for always uploading videos.

[@nielskeekstra]

What an epic video and that helmet cam is so cool! Visit the XX programma at Spa Francorchamps a few years ago, would love go back one time!

[@akiravecchi8426]

holy fuck that's loud

[@realstradman]

Awesome! You lucky man!😃

[@user-dc5cc2pp8f]

Amazing, absolutely amazing 😍😍 it makes my 458 challenge evo, very very slow compared to this machine🤣🤣 keep posting these amazing videos of your cars. just wonderful. many thanks

[@LukezB12]

Thanks for the pov, always wanted to see this angle from the 2000s cars, if you happen to be able to drive the ferrari f2004 too one day it'd be awesome if you could post it.

[@AlexanderWest]

hah, yeah it doesnt work that way...

[@jeffersonalmazan5782]

So this is what It's like to be an f1 driver

[@lucianp87]

Awesome!

[@Doubledeepfried]

Living the dream

[@DanishAZ-mp7tm]

Would be curious to see this driven in anger with the slicks. Reckon it could probably come close to those 2017 cars

[@Al-hk6yi]

great.. like always..

[@fabriciosampaio2222]

Nice car 😮

[@_-MiamiVice-_]

Hey Alex, does anyone have a 1996 ferrari thorugh the F1 Clienti programme, and if so, do you have any plans to approach the person for a drive in that car? Would love to see it with your usual onboard footage, and experience shared in the comment section.

[@sos15_yt]

That looks so red

[@dylangomez562]

Thanks for sharing this awesome POV with us! Does the car sound pleasant to listen to in real life, or more on the hurting the ears side? Also, do you know if the engine is running at full 19000 RPM or detuned a little? Nice smooth drive btw

[@AlexanderWest]

Sounds great, slightly detuned for reliability

[@MexicanBagpiper96]

Did either Räikkönen or Massa drive this? Or was it a separate chassis for demonstration runs? Just curious if the team gave that information.

[@AlexanderWest]

This is the car that Massa won the last race in Brazil in...

[@mericyaman5152]

Is it possible to take the Radillion at 267 km/h?

[@Minx5892]

That was at Ferrari Racing Days right? Didn't know you were the one driving that

[@AlexanderWest]

Yes

[@toshisato26]

Hey im curious, how is the handling of the f1 car compared to other track cars you drove? (Fxxk evo, 488 gt modificata, 720gt3x, etc)

[@AlexanderWest]

you cant compare a single seater with big heavy GT cars. The F1 is 605kgs with driver. a 488 is closer to 1400kgs, and who knows what an Fxxk weighs. so significantly less weight, a lot more downforce etc etc

[@Aireisor]

try on a simulator, the difference is huuuuuuge

[@tm85100]

Out of interest, do you know how far off the ultimate pace you were laptime wise?

[@AlexanderWest]

hard to say, we are running on GP2 tyres, engine is somewhat detuned etc. but in the same car 5-7s a lap at silverstone. Abbey woudl be flat if not almost flat with a pro, braking would be later, copse would be in 6th rather than 5th, maggots and becket could be done quicker as could stowe. But then again, a pro doesnt own the car or maybe care that it is a piece of racing history... ;)

[@tm85100]

@@AlexanderWestfair enough, it certainly looked quick on the camera. Not like a lot of those experience company ones in Dubai or France where it looks like they are popping to the shops! I race myself, what you do is life goals. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@lukesimpson5533]

Who are you? Why do you get to drive all these cars? Why don’t you have millions of subs? So many questions 😂

[@AlexanderWest]

my subs strategy is going exactly as i have planned it. I spend zero time on it, zero time editing videos for clickbait purposes etc, but glad you like it😀
