It’s often said that Formula One cars are much more like airplanes than cars. So, what happens when you put a Formula One driver in the cockpit of a flight simulator?
That’s what Williams aimed to find out with the aid of their sponsor Bombardier, a Canadian plane and train manufacturer. They sent Canadian Formula One driver Lance Stroll to the Bombardier Training Centre in Montreal, Canada to find out. He was joined by Canadian Formula One commentator on RDS, Pierre Houde.
After flying a digital Bombardier Global 6000 in the flight simulator, the duo flew to the Williams Factory in Oxford to allow Houde to try his hand at their F1 simulator around the Silverstone Circuit.
