The top speed was on par with an F1 car on race fuel, but the braking force and cornering force, that's not quite there. WEC rubber and a lot heavier, what can we expect? It would get a bit silly with qualifying rubber and per F2/F1 wheels if they can be made to fit.

They said this years cars were going to be 5 secs slower. They ended up being 1-1.5 seconds slower. In 2-3 years they'll be faster again... modern F1 cars are an engineering marvel.

Phenomenal engineering, performance, aesthetics and sound. Every time Nico braked, I was watching you being pitched forward in your harness. I didn’t want this video to end.

It is amazing how unfazed he is, like he popped to the shops in a Micra, the speed comparison to the F1 car is absolutely crazy.

Wtf, he is not messing around 😂 Absolutely brutal, what a rush that must have been to feel the car on it's limit.

You nailed this video. Onboard footage plus Nico's candid take on the car was exactly what I wanted. No fluff. Nice job!

Absolutely bonkers! What a great event by Aston too to have Nico drive you guys around! That's such a privilege and such great content to watch! Just WOW!

What an experience full of adrenaline and one of the most beautiful machines that Astin Martin has made, excellent and it shows that you enjoyed it to the fullest, well done

That’s quite possibly the first time I ever felt the “g’s” through a video! I can only imagine what it must be like in actuality 🤯😱!! You are a fortunate man indeed, James

Nico was driving on mental speeds but it was slow for him compared to James, it was way faster. The people at Aston Martin be pushing their cars to the very limits. It's great that we got content creators like you who would let us fellow petrolheads experience what it's like to get behind these cars. Great content Mr. James.

Awesome car, great questions for Nico (and you let him answer!) and excellent video! Well done, and I really enjoyed this one!

Big respect for Hulk and his honesty. He was short of saying the handling was understeer city, TC was intrusive and James is fat. 2 3 seconds more in the short variant of Silverstone is a lot. To be honest, that tells good things about the car. When you get a pro to direct you on the setup and saying how much faster it can go. Means it is a good track car.

My cheeks hurt from smiling just from watching the video and hearing that, it's amazing!! To be honest, soon after splitting from RB I thought AM won't be able to pull this and I turned my hopes to AMD One but now it turned vice versa, I'm soooo much impressed with AM, especially AMR Pro variant, and almost kind of dissapointed with AMG 1 :(
