Okay, I think this is a bit fast now.
Whoa.
Oh, my gosh.
This is quite... Graceful.
This is graceful, isn't it?
Pull that down.
Pull that down?
Yep.
It's quite heavy, isn't it?
It is.
Oh, my God.
Seatbelt on.
Seatbelt on.
Okay, so obviously I'm meant to be learning to drive, but I feel like to learn to drive.
It might be quite good to watch you drive.
What do you think?
Maybe.
Why are you saying maybe?
I drive fast.
That's my job.
You drive fast?
I can drive fast.
Can you?
Not too fast.
Don't go too fast.
Just be normal.
My normal is fast.
Don't do anything... No!
No!
No!
Why'd you keep turning the wheel like that?
Okay, is that it?
Almost.
This is a corner.
Is this a hard corner?
It's pretty hard at the moment, yes.
You could go a bit softer on that.
Okay, I think this is a bit fast now.
Whoa.
This is like not even that fast.
How many miles an hour is this?
Okay, okay.
That was like 110.
110?
Well, that's not very fast, is it?
No, not really.
I don't encourage you to go that fast.
No, I'm not going to go that fast.
I'm going to go a lot slower because that was a bit intense.
Was it?
Well, at points it was intense, but then at other points it was fine.
Actually, maybe it was fine.
Maybe it was actually pretty chill.
Actually, I was pretty relaxed about that whole thing.
Yeah, your screams... I think it was pretty normal.
This is fine.
This is fine.
This is fine.
Jesus, I feel a bit sick now.
Have you ever thrown up in a car?
Uh, no.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm quite sure.
I feel like I would remember that.
Well, this is good practice for you, isn't it?
It is, actually.
You're getting extra practice.
This is me.
Yeah, I mean, we're now driving in reverse.
We're going in reverse?
Yeah, like, we're going the wrong way around the track, mate.
Oh, right, so I thought you meant we can't go reverse that speed.
That would be crazy.
Okay well, that's taught me a lot, I think, about how to drive and how to go fast, and I will now be going relatively fast.
Will you now?
I'll be going faster than you.
No joking, I'm not.
How do I get out?
I'll let you drive if you can get out, so you've nailed that part so far.
Right, so sorry, which pedal would you suggest I press?
The right one is go.
The right one is go.
But very gently.
Very gently, okay.
Very, very gently.
Very gently, as well as the brake.
No, not the brake.
Take my foot off the brake.
Take your foot off the brake, otherwise we're not gonna go anywhere.
Okay, are you ready?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, I'm going.
There we go.
There's plenty of space.
It's actually like the best place to learn how to drive.
Do you think?
On a racetrack?
Yeah.
Where did you learn to drive?
On a racetrack?
No.
On a normal road?
On a very normal road.
In Australia?
No, in England actually.
Oh, in England?
Yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Do you like England?
I like parts.
Okay, that was quite a slow response.
What does it feel like being in the passenger seat?
I am bricking it right now, I'm honest.
You are?
A little bit.
Why, because you've got a big weekend ahead of you?
Well, that and I value my life.
I value your life too.
I think you need to relax.
I'm really good at driving.
Look at this.
Do you like going around the corners?
I do like going around the corners, yeah.
You're pretty good, I think, at driving, aren't you?
Some may say, yeah.
It's going well right now.
It is going well, yes.
See how long that lasts.
Could I go a bit faster?
Probably not.
Okay, I'll just carry on.
What's the best driving advice you've been given?
Probably eyes on the road.
Eyes on the road?
Probably a good one.
That is a good one.
2 o'clock and 10 o'clock with the hands?
Yeah, and your hands are in a good position.
Admittedly, I feel like most people don't learn how to drive in a McLaren.
Really?
I'm not like other people.
I'm not like every girl.
I'm special.
I'm a special girl.
Are you... Sorry, I can't look at you.
Yeah, eyes on the road.
Eyes on the road.
You look good as a passenger princess.
I mean, we've basically made it.
We're nearly at this cone.
We're nearly at the cone.
Right, now I need to brake.
How do I do that?
You hit the other pedal.
At the same time?
No.
Get off the...
There we go!
Nailed it.
Wasn't that good?
That was good.
Slightly terrifying at points, admittedly.
Should I carry on looking at the road?
Can I look at you?
No, I think it's probably safe.
Is this understeering?
And oversteering?
No, no.
We've got some work to go.
I would just put your hands there.
Just there?
That works.
Does your foot ever get cramped?
Your legs do get tired.
What gets the most tired?
Your neck.
Because of the G-Force.
You've got a big neck.
I do, yeah.
On purpose.
I didn't want to have a big neck.
You didn't?
It's kind of just part of being an F1 driver.
Don't be hard on yourself.
I love a big neck.
Thanks.
I think big necks are underrated.
Thank you.
You know what they say about big necks?
Big turtleneck jumper.
I've had to go up in shirt size since I joined F1.
You have?
Yeah.
Well, I actually don't want a big neck.
Sorry, I know I just was bigging that up, but maybe I shouldn't be an F1 driver.
I know that it's seeming like I would be a good one, but maybe I just shouldn't do it.
Yeah, I think you've got talents elsewhere.
So you don't think I'm good at driving?
You've got talents outside of F1.
I just drove you.
We could have crashed, but we didn't.
Yeah, that's true.
You dedicated your win in Spain to your sister.
Yes.
So will you dedicate your win this weekend to me, maybe?
I've got quite a few people on the list to get through first.
If you pass your test, then I'll consider it.
Okay.
That's probably not likely to happen anytime soon.
But I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
It means a lot.
After you dedicated to your sister, were people ringing you up saying, Where's my dedication?
No, but I have two other sisters.
You do?
I've got to win some more races to dedicate to them.
Two other sisters, but you've definitely got a favourite sister, it seems.
Well, she just happened to be there.
Oh, sure.
Everyone's got a favourite sibling.
I've got a favourite sibling.
Do you?
I've only got one.
I love having a sister.
You've got three.
I do, yeah.
That's so cool.
You're so lucky.
Yeah, I am.
I know Lando, by the way.
Do you?
We went on a date.
And how was it?
It wasn't my favourite date, but...
He was up there.
Maybe top five.
Don't tell him that, though.
No, I will tell him that.
We've got a good friendship now going on.
Our friend zoned him.
He was just becoming a bit clingy.
You know?
You know what I mean.
You can imagine.
I'm going to imagine, yeah.
Do you think actually I'm too low down if I was really driving?
Because I actually can't see the road.
