Totally cool.

I’ve always wondered what would happen if you were to put a novice (like me) into an F1 car. I can’t imagine taking a car through a 150MPH corner at 3.5 G’s. I’d probably think the car would be ready to fly off the track at 75 MPH and 1.5 G’s. What he said about not going fast enough to get heat in the tires and brakes was interesting, and that going a little faster wouldn’t help, as he’d still have cold tires and brakes, but would be going faster. I guess these cars need to be driven hard.

That bit about the engine effectively being seized when cold was interesting, as well.
