Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris are McLaren’s official F1 drivers and, in addition to their driving skills, they are also known for their sense of humor and constant availability to have fun. The United States GP, held today at the Austin circuit in Texas, provided the ideal setting for what they called the Start and stop challenge.
If F1 drivers spend their professional life trying to be as efficient as possible, avoiding crossings, wheel locks and any loss of traction, as soon as they are not participating in a practice session or a race, they like to have fun like any other . Passionate about powerful cars. Only, in this case, with a skill at the wheel well above average. And this video proves it, between constant laughter while doing controlled skids and melting the tires.
The toy chosen for the two drivers to ask each other questions was the McLaren 720S, with rear-wheel drive and a V8 biturbo engine that provides 720 hp, as the name of the model seems to indicate. The rules of the game were to allow the driver behind the wheel to ask his teammate questions about himself, so that as soon as he got the answer right, they would switch places.
