Ciao everyone, here it's Marchettino and this is simply the best day of my life!
Why? Well, here's a glimpse of what you're about to see in the video!
Let's start from the beginning, I'm here today at Paul Ricard because thanks to Infiniti
today I'm with the Renault Formula 1 team to live the craziest experience of my life!
I will drive this Formula 1! Yeah guys I still can't believe that, I'm gonna drive this Formula 1!
There are racing drivers that take years and years to arrive just to test a Formula 1 and well, today in about 5 hours I will get to drive one!
It's incredible, I still can't believe that to be here, it's like a dream! I hope not to wake up right now!
Obviously, I won't just first in the F1, in order to be able to drive it later,
I will do a series of physical and mental preparations and first of all on the track we'll get in
with a Formula a bit softer than a F1, we'll drive a Formula Renault.
The morning is so intense that I find hard to find the time to keep filming,
It's not my first time around Paul Ricard, the activity starts with pace laps just to have an idea about the track and the lines.
We do have also theory and physical training in the morning.
When you're about to jump onboard a Formula with 200hp and 450kg, you have to understand you're about to make a completely new and different driving experience, so head on your shoulders!
At the end of the morning, it's time to recap my results and I couldn't be happier than this,
With a analysis of the telemetry we found out that with the Formula Renault I had a performance very similar to the ones of the official racing drivers of the team,
not bad considering that my belly and I have never experienced a Formula or a car on slicks!
And now let's move on the action of my F1  experience!
After two sessions with the Formula Renault, I have to say I'm starting to have lots of trust to drive a Formula,
behind the wheel I felt at ease and very focused but I have to say that
whenever they fire up the F1 here in the box to warm it up, 
I swear, my heart goes up in my throat!
I can't believe, this is so unreal, unreal!
Goose bumps, by only thinking to jump onboard the F1, 18,000rpm that break my ears, supersonic speed, now I'm a bit nervous!
The F1 i'm gonna drive has almost 4 times the power of the Formula Renault, I don't know if I will do the same thing,
probably my right foot will be paralyzed, I will be scared!
I don't know, I just know I'm really nervous, I'm about to drive a F1! I still can't believe that, it's a dream becoming true!
Uhm yeah, I did that on purpose! 
I just wanted to see if.. uhm... Anyway let's get back to my lap!
What a terrible impression!
Guys, I'm shaking I swear!
I can't believe I've driven a F1!
Sorry about my voice, what an experience!
A whole life spent about dreaming of driving a F1 and I did it!
Incredible, by the first moment you jump onboard the car, the engine fires up, all of a sudden the breathing get deeper and longer,
You barely can't hear your thoughts anymore, you just hear the heart pumping to the max, you feel the adrenaline rush!
It's a sensation, just incredible, what an experience!
I've never experienced these kind of senstions behind the wheel of a car and
the acceleration of a F1, absurd! Pushing the engine up to 18,000rpm,
feel such an incredible boost, I spun out but 
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, pushing it to my limits and trust me,
driving a F1 car is everything but easy!
I ain't a racing driver but I just had a great satisfaction!
It's crazy!  In the other straight I pushed to 260kph in 6th gear flatout,
I don't know, in my mind I wasn't scared to push it, I did a few chicanes flatout, maybe in that moment I simply turned off the fear factor!
So guys, I'm onboard a Infiniti Q50 hybrid as we speak, I'm heading back to the airport 
with probably the best memories and emotions of my life!
Yesterday I was struggling to describe my feelings because it's been a unreal, incredible day! 
Yesterday night I watched again the videos and still, I was struggling to realize that I've driven a F1!
It's been a experience that i will keep in my heart for the rest of my life.
Now that I have the mind more free and being able to hold my emotions, I want to tell you more about this experience about driving a F1.
In the moments I was preparing myself  to put the helmet on, the gloves and I was getting onboard the car, 
I have to say I've never felt so tense and nervous in my life! My mind was overloaded of thoughts, emotions, 
breathing was getting long and deep, my heart was pumping so hard that I was able to hear it pump, 
the beat of my heart was louder than my thoughts in that moment, and I was inside the cockpit by thinking " Am I inside a F1 for real? ", " Is it happening for real? "
In the moment they fired up the engine, that was the top, I thought I was about to faint, I couldn't believe it it was simply scary! 
But I have to say by the moment I dropped the clutch and took off, my last thought was " I can't believe it! "
My eyes are wet if I think about it, and off the pitlane I started to accelerate and in that moment every fear and thought disappeared instantly.
I couldn't believe that would have happened, because all of a sudden I focused to the max to drive the F1, 
to try to make some accelerations and to enjoy the lap of my life.
Driving a F1 has been incredible under every point of view, 
by the engine noise, 18,000rpm that penetrate through your ears, it's been crazy, in every straight I was pushing the gears to the limit because I wanted to hear that sound break my ears,
an absolutely impressive acceleration, we're talking about 750hp that move 640kg!
And the problem about driving a F1 is that if you drive it, you can't go slow, because if you do that the engine shuts down,
you don't heat up the tires so you don't have grip and risk to spin out, if you go slow in the corners you dont generate enough downforce so you risk to spin out so may understand that
if you're inside a F1, you can't go slow!
You want to try anyway to push because driving a F1 gives addiction!
That acceleration, that speed cornering, that absolutely direct steering.. it's THE car, the F1 is THE car!
As you might noticed, it wasn't so unpredictable to see me spun out because 
the problem of F1 is that car is quicker than your thoughts, 
when you see the corner you can't think to start thinking about the way you have to approach the line, 
before starting corner 1 you already have to think to have approached that corner and immediately think about the next one, 
my mistake was because I was too fast, I calculated wrongly the distances, in that moment I thought about doing that corner but I forgot there was a tight left corner
so you need to have insane reflexes, and after this experience I can only have a lot more respect  towards the F1 drivers,
just think that they're on the track for 2 hours, fight at 300kph so close to each other, handle the pressure, the physical and mental stress, 
F1 drivers ain't human, they're aliens!
When I got offered to drive the F1 about 2 months ago, I decided to start again to get in good shape
so for 2 months I trained every single day and today I'm KO! My neck hurts, every single muscle hurts.
The G-Forces were simply insane, I think I've never experienced such a strong g-force behind the wheel, in some high speed corners I thought my head was about to tear away!
Not to mention the breaking, the breaking power of the F1 is simply unreal, you break at the very last moment, and the car stops!
It has such a crazy breaking power! Everything about an F1 is crazy!
If I think about that, my eyes are wet once again! A lifetime dream that has become true!
I will keep this experience, this memory with me for the rest of my life, that's for sure!
By the way don't get used to see test drives and reviews of F1 cars on my channel, 
because sadly, " sadly " I have to head back to the supercar reviews!
Jokes aside, this Infiniti is not a bad way to head to the airport! 
Ok, it doesn't have a N/A, V8 that revs to 18,000rpm but we have a hybrid 3.5L V6, capable to unleash 364hp
combined to an electric engine, the acceleration is not bad!
It sounds good also!
Another thing that  has impressed me about driving the F1, is that whenever you sit in the car you feel a bit a sense of claustrophobia, 
you're stuck in a small and tight cockpit and you find yourself with the steering wheel right in your face,
about the driving position, you're lying in the cockpit  and the eyes are just above the steering wheel, 
so what you see mostly is the long nose, but only a part of it because the front is hidden and I wonder how do the F1 drivers
for example during the take off stay so close to each other without crashing.. well even though sometimes it happens!
The moment I spun out I was in panic because obviously I didn't want to stall the engine and start again immediately
and it wasn't easy because I was nervous, I was in panic and I had to put the car in neutral without stalling the engine and trying to handle the clutch to take off,
if I turned the engine off that would have been the end because on the F1 there isn't the engine start button, it's a long procedure and it takes several people to do that. 
Guys, please excuse me if I'm talking so much but I think I could do that for hours to describe my emotions, feelings about driving an F1! 
Who knows, maybe in the future I will have another chance! If there's something I've learnt is never say never in life!
I'd like to thank Infiniti and the Renault F1 team for this honours, this priviledge, this opportunity to make the lap of my life! THANKS!
I hope you guys did enjoy the video, I hope you were excited as much as I did, drop a Like if you enjoy it, subscribe to my YouTube channel if you didn't yet and as always thanks for watching, ciao!
