On a perfect summers day at the Red Bull Ring in Austria last month, 4 time World Rally Champion, Sebastien Ogier turned one of his dreams into a reality, driving a Formula one car.
Thanks to his sponsors at Red Bull, an outing as organized for M-Sport driver to climb behind the wheel of the team's 2011 Formula One contender, the RB&, that won a total of 12 times and took its drivers to a total of 27 podium finishes in the 2011 Formula one season, and let him loose to complete 60 miles around the Spielberg track.
"As a kid I was watching [Ayrton] Senna, he was my idol, and of course I was dreaming one day to try this kind of car," said Ogier of the opportunity. "For a racing driver to have fun you need to be fast and a Formula One car is the fastest car you can drive, so of course every racing driver wants to feel that one day."
“A dream came true for me,” the Frenchman said after the test. “It was awesome and, of course, a big discovery. It was so different to what I have ever driven before. It was so much fun and actually this car is super quick but also you feel quickly very comfortable in it.”
