After their four wheel karting experiences, Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso decided to try something a little more different when they visited the Red Bull Racing facilities in Milton Keynes and got the chance to test the F1 Simulator ahead of this weekend’s Silverstone GP.
“The whole day has been amazing, to learn how much technology is used in F1 and see it first hand is spectacular,” said Casey Stoner.
“When I watch the F1 races now I’m going to know a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes and understand what the drivers are going through.
My time on the simulator was something special, to understand how late they can actually brake was something remarkable to experience and I guess it’s as close as I’ll ever get to feeling that.
I’d like to thank all the guys at Red Bull, it’s been an unbelievable day and something I’d love to do again for sure”.
Andrea Dovizioso said, “Today has been something very special, you can’t imagine how many people are working towards winning the race, to ensure everything is perfect and to develop things for the F1 car.
With my experience on bikes, I feel you can develop many things but with the car it seems there is no limit.
The simulator was very difficult, I expected more movement but easier.
When I saw the lap time it wasn’t so nice to see! The braking in corner entry is very strange to get used to, something I didn’t expect.
I made 15 laps but it was difficult to try and improve because it was something almost beyond the limit!”.
Thank God, they didn’t say I’d like to try racing a F1 car someday, because we’ve really had enough of Valentino Rossi-Ferrari stories to last us a lifetime and couldn’t stand another two MotoGP riders getting caught up in that sort of BS.
