Are we in drive?
You're in drive.
You got that big D. Big D. Let's go.
Yes.
Yeah, I've not driven before.
It's my first.
You haven't?
Well, no, I've done a few lessons, but, like, just a few.
I'm nervous now.
Don't be nervous.
All right, so first things first.
Give a seating position right.
Seating position right.
Got those buttons on the side.
Yeah, I know.
I can see the buttons.
George, I'm not an idiot, OK?
All right, all right.
I pick things up really well.
Oh, I should put a seatbelt on, shouldn't I?
I should put a seatbelt on.
Oh, should I go up?
Should I go up?
You've done this before.
Yeah, not my first rodeo.
Yeah, push it forward.
Push it forward.
A little bit, yeah.
Your feet close enough to the pedal, I reckon.
Steering wheel.
Is the car on?
No.
Push to start.
Push to start.
Is that what you do in your car?
No.
In your F1 car?
No, we don't have a start button.
Oh my gosh, Lando was telling me that.
So who starts it?
Someone at the back.
What, do they press a button?
I don't know.
You should know this.
This is actually my car.
This is your car?
This is my car, so don't crash it.
Can you give me one piece of advice before we start?
Go on, just think of anything.
Just give me one thing, just one piece of advice.
Follow the black stuff.
Follow the black stuff?
Do you mean the road?
Yeah.
Okay.
Right, how do I go?
All right, foot off the brake completely.
Foot off the brake completely?
Then now move to the throttle pedal.
Slowly on the gas.
All right, we're doing one mile an hour.
How many miles an hour do you want to go?
We're currently doing two.
Two miles an hour?
Do you want to go more than that?
Let's bring it up to three miles an hour.
Three miles an hour?
All right, I think we're safe.
This is good.
This is good.
This is a solid start.
How old were you when you learned to drive?
Well, the first time I ever drove a car, I was like 12 years old.
Oh, God, that seems a bit young.
Is that even legal?
I don't think so.
To be an F1 driver, do you have to like champagne?
Because I really don't like champagne.
No.
No?
No, you don't need to.
It helps.
It's always being sprayed everywhere.
Yeah, you spray it.
You don't drink it.
Oh, I hate champagne.
Yeah, I don't like either.
You don't like champagne?
I'm not so similar.
I'll show you a little trick.
Twist this dial to the right.
Why?
What's that?
You hear the engine's a bit more racy now.
I don't like that.
You like a loud engine.
I like it.
It sounds fast.
Can we turn it off?
All right, twist it backwards then.
There we go, nice and quiet now.
See, that's good.
George, I think we need to get into the quietness, the peace.
All right.
We're going too fast now.
It's actually saying you're speeding.
Sorry, I'm speeding.
No, I'm actually speeding.
You're sending some speed in this corner.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Brake a bit.
There we go.
What just happened there?
Because we just suddenly got to 40 miles an hour.
Whoa.
Another little like addition here.
Okay.
You see on the side where you can adjust your seat?
Yeah.
You got a little fan.
Can I just say, you're telling me too many things.
I think we need to focus.
I don't want you to get sweaty.
Do you think I look sweaty?
I'm sweaty.
Apparently when you're driving your F1 car, you like sweat so much.
Yeah.
That you sweat buckets of sweat.
Yeah.
Aww.
What do they do with the buckets of sweat?
What do they do with it?
They store it and they sell it to somebody.
Well, I mean, probably people would buy that.
Apparently, this far track is very hilly.
It is quite... Have you not noticed that?
Well, yeah, I have now.
Oh, watch out, there's a car coming.
Oh, my God.
We're literally on the wrong side of the road.
I'm going to brake.
I'm going to stop.
All right.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry, they should not be here.
Do they not know we're doing a very important lesson?
It is.
The thing with this, though, is, like, in reality, there's going to be cars on the road.
There are.
I need a breather.
Sorry, yeah, do you need a breather?
Is it quite stressful, driving with me?
A little bit.
Want me to give you some positive affirmations?
Please.
You're a great passenger princess, and you look great in the passenger seat.
Thank you.
And everything's going to be fine.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right, shall we try the reversing challenge, then?
Reverse.
Foot on the brake as you're doing.
Foot is on the brake.
That's good.
Lift this lever up.
Yeah.
Nice.
Depends how, like, cool you want to be.
Oh, I'm already really cool.
Yeah, obviously.
We can either check the camera or you can do, like, the hand behind my seat.
Does this look cool?
I can't even see anything back there.
Let's try with this first.
Okay, go on the accelerator now.
Nice.
One mile an hour.
Oh, we're stopped again.
Two mile an hour.
Nice.
Good job.
Just keep following, like, between the white lines.
There you go.
There you go.
This is harder.
Oh, they've brought the safety car out.
This is the safety car.
This is not the safety car.
We're heading to the grass.
Turn to your right a bit.
Turn to your right.
You're looking a little bit stiff and relaxed.
Okay, well, I'm relaxed.
Now we're going two fights in a row.
Straighten up a bit.
This is really hard.
You need to turn a bit more.
We're going to crash it.
A bit more.
Nice, he does it.
There we go.
Oh, my God.
You're doing it.
I'm doing it.
It's happening.
I feel a bit sick, actually, I would say.
Do you feel a bit sick?
Sorry, we were heading to the wall there again.
That's great.
Perfect.
That was good teamwork.
Are we in silly season right now?
This is sillier.
This is silly?
Is this the silliest season you've experienced?
This is pretty silly, yeah.
The silliest of seasons?
The silliest.
Are we going the right way?
Onto the brake.
Onto the brake.
Brake, brake, brake, brake, brake, brake, brake!
Oh!
We're just in the gravel.
If you weren't a racing car driver, what would you be?
You can't say my best friend, That's what I was going to say.
That's what I was going to say, I know.
Yeah.
Well, it's quite a good way to become friends, actually.
It is a really great way.
We've met each other for six minutes now.
Maybe that's how, like, first dates should actually happen.
Yeah.
Like, you go on a blind driving date.
Maybe don't be blind while driving, but... What's worse, a blind date or a blind spot?
Blind date.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
They're intimidating, aren't they?
Yeah.
Blind spot.
Well, blind spot's dangerous.
It is dangerous.
Dangerous can be exciting, though.
Yeah.
Live life on the edge.
Would you say you live life on the edge?
Right now, this is really on the edge.
I mean, we're notching up six mile an hour right now.
I just don't think that people could handle me, you know, if I was going.
Faster, yeah.
Should I overtake?
Should I overtake?
OK.
I'm overtaking you.
See you later.
See you.
Ah, look at that.
You just mugged him off.
I did.
What do you recommend I should do for recovery after this?
I think we need an ice bath.
Yeah, we'll just lie down in a dark room.
Did you ever do that?
Yeah, I do that.
OK.
I wouldn't say you've nailed it, but you've done a pretty decent job.
Nailed it.
Well, you said that was perfect, didn't you?
Yeah, ish.
Perfect-ish.
I'm getting the fan on my arse.
Can you get the fan on your bum?
The fan's on your bum there, the middle one.
The fan is on your bum?
That's what I was trying to tell you earlier, the fan on the bum.
You were distracting me with the fan on the bum.
I think this is going well.
Do you think this is going well?
I think this is going really well.
