My Week With A McLaren 750S [+ Meeting Mika Hakkinen!]

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Pirelli invite me to Silverstone to take part in their Hot Laps experience and I have a pretty special driver. During the week I also cover 850 miles in a McLaren 750S.

    can’t imagine the feeling when 2x world champ Mika finds you so interesting and endearing that he wants to meet you later and have coffee. A credit to how well you present yourself and how professional you are. Hope you had a great chat with him!

    Thanks Sam for taking us on the road with you and sharing your experience . Tech means you can film and describe it to us, at high quality from your laptop. Not easy to be a great communicator and film maker and editor and producer….. all in one. Thats a skill. That reflects to your views on the 750s, its more interesting to see it on a rainy motorway, filling the boot , squirting along a B road and showing its breadth of talent , far harder act than being a compromised track special.

When you mentioned how F1 restricts what video can be taken and shown, it kind of dampened my hopes of one day making a kids video about F1. I get so many kids asking for car content. Hopefully F1, or one of the teams will let me. Keep up the great work! 👍

    Awesome episode Sam- Honestly it was just sorta ho hum on the surface, but to a fan and a car nut I was vicariously living through you and I couldn’t have had a better time. Getting to daily a 750s, chatting on a hot lap at silverstone with a F1 legend. You are humble and excited. It is what separates you from the pack. Makes me feel like I can be in your shoes. Most other car you tubers, are so detached from reality they fail to recognize what they have and lack the honest enthusiasm one loses when they take things for granted. Cheers ! Thanks for the smiles. Keep up the good work, balance family and work. Sell that GT3 and get a McLaren already 😎

    Please do whatever it takes to bring Mika on the podcast! His McLaren era is on par with the Senna times and he still knows the real McLaren led by Ron Dennis. Otherwise, I m glad McLaren get more positive attention lately both on the race track as when it comes to their cars... which are out of my league (I m super happy with my Cayman though) and strangely, for me, it s the brand where I d be more forgiving when it comes to the final finish as they propose something unique, more like the Lotus of the supercars, I just hope they got the seemingly neglected customer care more under control now coz what matters is how you deal with issues esp at this price point.
