Every now and then completely unfounded topics appear about how slow F1 will be compared to Le Mans/Moto GP/your car/GP2/carting and god knows why don't get deleted. Some copy and pasting then :
James Calado: "It's a big step. People underestimate the difference between a GP2 and a Formula 1 car. They look exactly the same and they've got similar power. But Formula 1 is a good eight to ten seconds faster a lap and the majority of that is sheer downforce and corner speed.
"It's quite mind-blowing. During the first three laps, I couldn't believe what I was driving. I was completely out of my comfort zone. The only way I can describe it to people is if you're looking down, for example, in a road car on the motorway and you suddenly look back up and see standing traffic in the road, naturally you instantly slam on the brakes.
