I wouldn't say that. It's always harder to hold your body stable when you're not controlling the car. Just like you can follow a fixed dot when riding a mechanical bull but can't follow it when a person moves it.

@@12123188 It's definitely the training at the speed they were going, but yes no one is going to be perfectly still in the passenger seat.

@@12123188 yep, even normal road car speed, i find it harder to stay still at a corner when im not driving.

It’s also a lot easier when you’re the one driving because you’re able to anticipate what movement you’re going to do next and prepare for it

He is holding the steering wheel ffs... you can use it to stabilize your body plus the seat is better conformed to him than a 110 pound girl.

... when farting...?

Marcos Benício well, it's quite obvious you don't follow F1 and their press conferences.

+Jackal Fox And he looks like he is having fun too!

Driving a road car fast, even on a damp track, is miles easier than driving the F1 car. The really good drivers have an innate sense of what the car can handle in terms of traction.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. One more month… Forza Ferrari!

cnn8420 Hahahahahahha

You should watch the Ricardo Patresse takes his wife around the track. She's screaming, "Mamma mia!" and he looks like he is just driving up the street.

If you own a supercar, it doesn't necessarily mean you will have his skills, but if you have his skills you will be able to afford several supercars because you will be rich :D

@@christopher-gardner - There are ways to experience supercars through track day rentals for example. And there are plenty of great cars that are relatively affordable and move fast: M2; RS3; Type-R etc. You could also go a step below with Toyota 86 or Subura BRZ. Both excellent stock and even better if you want to mod.

It's sad you believe this

What a princess! Just delightful! just my Kind =) gRetings from BRasil

Either way she's nice.... we need more girls like that. Awesome lady. Also, VETTEL IS A LEGEND!!!!

bunch of simps

That's because he holds the wheel..

Xxx .. Xxx

+Tommy Salami Hey, thank you! Was a great experience, and glad that there were plenty of funny moments to include in the video -- really shows that he's got a good personality. Definitely a fun person to ride along with. And most folks I've talked to really got a kick out of the hair motions -- guess I'll be leaving it down from now on!

+Tommy Salami It was a press event, so Sebastian had to chauffeur a bunch of journalists around the track one after another - you can see another video like this on /drive

Thanks, I'm familiar with the concept. This reporter (+Alanis King) is only a college student (I think) and yet better than most writer/commentators who are fat old boring guys who've lost their enthusiasm and excitement for such things. Additionally, she's witty, speaks flawlessly and thinks on her feet even at 100MPH; talents which are rare and disappearing, to be replaced with talking-head "reporters" who go silent if the TelePrompTer malfunctions! Plus there's the g-load indicating coiffure... =)

Well, thank you so much! This is much appreciated!

+hakentt - wife with 2 kids... ahem. and Vettel is known to be a family man just like Michael Schumacher. Not all men will be driven by their urge, some have decency.

+Yoshimurha Thank you! It was a blast. Having been on both the driving and riding side multiple times, it's far easier to not sway when you're in the driver's seat. When you hop in a car with Vettel, you're going to get tossed around a few times--still incredibly fun, and not uncomfortable!

Alanis King Sure just it wasn't a few times it was basically every turn. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge you the ride. I'm just saying it is not healthy to to be tossed around like that from a pure fact point of view. It gets non-natural strains on your neck-muscles and surrounding muscles. Tossing around is never ok in a car, especially not at high speeds. It is the drivers responsibility to inform the passenger where to hold on if he or she gets tossed around. So hold on to something next time. That's all I'm saying. :) Cheers

+Yoshimurha Vettel had one advantages - He was holding the wheel. Believe me it does not take much to be thrown in a car with half the HP. No handles will keep you in there unless holding the wheel and have strong muscles. She had neither at her disposal at that moment.

Laszlo Makrai I've been in both seats yes. Sure you have to "press against" in the turns and bend a little forward to counter the G-forces. She didn't even bother to do it for reasons I can only assume is due to a lack of knowledge of available "tools". But what is shown in the video is downright unsafe. That is not an opinion, that is just fact. And I personally think Ferrari/Vettel should have a smack on the fingers for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not trying to bad-talk either Ferrari or Vettel in any way. But I think it is unprofessional and unsafe to let a situation like this simply continue - that because both parties (Ferrari and Vettel) knows fully well what forces the body is exposed of and what injuries someone risk in a situation like that. And I honestly do not think many people would feel comfortable in telling either Vettel or Ferrari to slow down in the middle of the situation because subjectively - "you" are likely to feel "honored" just for having been offered the opportunity to ride a Ferrari with the 4-time F1-world champion in the first place. Thus I think there is even more responsibility placed on the driver to use his/her (Vettel in this specific case) judgement and take appropriate action. It is not necessarily stopping the car and going back to the pits. But it could be simply to tell the passenger where to hold on and how to behave for her own safety and to avoid injury or risk thereof. If such instructions was given beforehand she certainly did not apply them and thus once again we come back to the drivers judgement and responsibility. Cheers

+Alanis King thank you, dear :-)

avantgardeaclue are you sick? I'd give both nuts to have vettel drive me around.

scrolex First drive with Vettel and her in the backseat of a 2+2 Ferrari, then he drops us off at a nice restaurant and leaves after I got his autograph.

well, as daily cars he now has a vw van and an alfa giulietta qv

ALIEN AGE really awkward
