Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Jeremy gets a very hands-on induction when he tries out the new F1-style Lotus T125 - courtesy of Jean Alesi.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are challenged to knock down a row of derelict houses in less time than it takes a team of demolition experts to do the same job. Jeremy tests an updated version of the classic Jensen Interceptor and finds himself transported back to a 1970s world of leather driving gloves and droopy moustaches. The show also features the Lotus T125 which brings F1-style performance to the track, plus another celebrity guest attempts a record lap in the Reasonably Priced Car.

It’s also the fame they have to live with but you also pay for their reputation and branding. It’s all business and the better you are at your job the more you can make for your sponsor and investors and therefore the more their willing to pay to keep you away from competition. People can’t see that and always hate and say they should earn less than doctors but when you think about, how many people truly make it to that level. How competitive do you think it is to become an f1 driver or a footballer at Manchester or Liverpool. So I’d argue they do deserve the reward of losing their childhood to work and discipline.

Alessio Balsamo You'd be surprised. I'd wager a guess that his helmet only stops about 3% of the air from getting there. The intake is at such a low pressure that it can just pull the air from around the sides of his head, it doesn't need the stuff directly in front. Plus only about a tenth of what's going in there is actually burned, the rest is for cooling. I'm sure the engine isn't losing any power at all. Source: am an Aerospace Engineer, work on cars.

His performances in underpowered equipment were amazing. Plus I really dug his helmet when he went chome and love the sheen on his visor. One of the hints that it's Alesi driving the car is when you see the driver's hands high on the steering wheel.

One of my fav ferrari drivers of all times despite only winning once.

@raffaeledivora9517 4 жыл бұрын

Jean Alesi, Gilles Villeneuve, Ronnie Peterson demonstrate you dont need to win a lot to be among the greatest drivers of all time and be loved and remembered by the fans.

Imagine Jean Alesi rocking up to your track day. You'd just want to spend the day sharing lunch with him & listening to his anecdotes.

indeed you are right, Justin Wilson was the tallest at 193cm and he had problems fitting inside the Minardi back in 2003

sounds pretty much like 70's f1 car

@eaglestrikeman194 4 жыл бұрын

Its like an old indycar engine. No f1 car at all. More like f2 with stripped down indy engine

@john jones u watched indycar in 2003 when their engines hadnt the pace of tge new Honda engines? After their gen 3 engine cosworth introduced a 3.5 L V8 XG badged as a Chevrolet Gen 4 engine to IRL IndyCar Series.

@eaglestrikeman194 4 жыл бұрын

@john jones hmmm thats pretty interesting. Never heard of the 3.8l version. Maybe a separate qualifying engine? But i dont think that would be ok with the indy reglement in 2003 to have 3.5 and a 3.8l version. Can u please hit me up anytime u find out more about the 3.8l version?

_pa0l194 _ he said it SOUNDS like a 70’s F1 car, high revving V8. Try to read closely.

Can’t believe Alesi only won 1 GP. He was better than that

@crh18 5 жыл бұрын

though back in the day, races were less and the field was wider. Keke Rosberg won his championship with also 1 win in that year (total 5wins in his career)

he was too aggressive with the car, throwing it everywhere, nice to watch but bad for the tires.

@dotdot8614 5 жыл бұрын

He could have gone with Williams but his heart guided him to Ferrari. Alesi drove for two top teams at the wrong time and not anyone grabs the 3rd worst car in the field and uses it to chase down Senna's McLaren with a Honda V10

@addsy6396 5 жыл бұрын

yeah, had he taken the offer from Williams, history would have read very differently!
