The challenge is doing it faster than everybody else without losing control. That is an entirely different level." -Adrian Newey

I think it depends on the circuit you are driving, because some circuits are very normal, but others are harder to drive, for example sepang, its one of the most harder circuit because it has a two long rects and lot of turns that make the driver experiment over 5G forces at the end of the rects and 3G and 4G in the turns, being very hard to dont crash

Anyone can drive a f1 car so long as it's not at race speed....... I remember the Richard Hammond effort to drive a F1 ,..... now he has experience driving on track and open road in fast cars..... but he didn't have the confidence to drive fast enough to get the brakes hot enough to work properly....... he was going fast but the braking was not good enough to stop quickly, he was already at the end of his fears and he understood that to be safer he had to go faster..... he just couldn't do it.........

Honestly as cocky as it sounds I feel like I would be significantly more competitive than your average F1 fan for my first time in an F1 car. My reasons being: 1. I almost exclusively drive F1 cars on just about every sim I play with my cockpit in formula position 2. I come from a wrestling background so I’m extremely strong for how lean I am (6’2” 165-175 lbs) especially in my legs, core, shoulders, and neck. 3. I’ve experienced a sustained load of 7Gs and a peak of 9Gs (~10s) in a military grade human centrifuge. I was able to lift my neck at 7G and was the only one in my the group that could even surpass 6Gs (they stopped you once you couldn’t lift your neck anymore or you were struggling with the breathing technique). The Air Force pilots that were running the centrifuge were genuinely impressed considering I was a young teenager at the time. 5. I have extremely fast reaction times that can average 150ms if I’m locked in but typically sub 200ms 6. I’m him Would love the opportunity to eat my own words 😉

By the way, there are 15000 tickets sold for 2.50GBP. "This is the chance to have the experience of your life and drive a Formula One car at the iconic Circuit le Castellet in the South of France. The experience includes expert tuition from Scott Mansell. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be surrounded by a team of more than 45 staff, including Alpine F1 crew members, driving instructors, mechanics, engineers, professional drivers, physiotherapists, and hostesses. Your coaching will begin the night before with dinner and preparation from Driver61’s Scott Mansell. Scott will also be with you all day when driving, to offer his guidance and support. And what a day it will be! With three sessions of 20 minutes in an F4 car, and at least three laps in the F1 car, you’ll be behind the wheel of a real F1 experiencing the thrill of high-speed driving. You don’t meet the criteria to drive the F1 car? We are now offering a racing sim package worth £14,000 as a Prize alternative"

One month training to drive like an F1 driver? I think a closer representation of an average person in an F1 car is that they would soil their pants without even getting close to "fast" - in one month all they would have is a lot of soiled underwear, assuming they came back on day two. If it were an average person who is immune to fear, maybe they'll go reasonably fast, but they'll probably kill themselves either literally or with the debt incurred during incidents. The average person hasn't even driven a 50cc go kart.
