Billy Monger joins ex Indy car driver Sam Schmidt on the Silverstone race track, and learns to drive using only his head and mouth. Sam was paralysed from the neck down in an accident back in 2000. Working with Arrows and McLaren, they've created the technology for him to be able to drive this car around the circuit over speeds at 200 miles an hour. Using sensors on the front of his crash helmet to turn the car and a breathing tube inside of the helmet for throttle and brake Sam is able to drive at speed again. Billy was very keen to have a go and take the car on the Silverstone circuit himself!

The hardest thing i thought would be to continuously think about not to instantly just turn your head. You're so used to turning your head in a car. But that would mean an instant spin/crash in this case. Awesome video though! Crazy how far technology has come.

It's a nice story how he went through his stuff but no one wants a disabled driver at any day.

the only problem with his head moving the wheel is that he can't look into his mirrors

Brilliant! This has to be one of the best F1-related items that I've seen in over half a century of watching the sport. 🙂👍 Billy is an excellent interviewer and commentator. Keep him on side; he's the next successor to Murray Walker. Thanks, Channel 4, for keeping at least some of the F1 events on UK terrestrial free-to-air television. Without your broadcasts, the sport would be almost unknown to millions of youngsters today. Sky TV charge potential customers far too much for many people to want to spend on watching F1.

Just look at Billy's hands throughout the lap, just the desire he has to drive is amazing

The car I learned to drive in could be driven by somebody who has no arms and this was more than 30 years ago. Disability? No my friends..... ability!
