The NASCAR series really puts a lot more weight on the driver; in F1, if you're not Ferrari/MB/RedBull, you're a place filler. There's a lot more to it than that, certainly, but Alonso was limited, crippled really, by his car. Which is sad, since he's really a great flag bearer for the sport.

@@data4163 I wouldnt say Nascar is more demanding. But I also wouldnt say F1 is either. They are 2 very different motorsports and comparing them seems like it doesnt make much sense.
I hope that wasn't it as far as coverage of the car swap. Feeling a bit underwhelmed from what i just watched. Having the level of these 2 drivers and teams.... Just expected more footage and details.
Although the NASCAR car is like something out of the Flintstones compared to an F1 car, when Lewis Hamilton drove one, he obviously had a great time with it so it may not be as fast but it might still be a lot of fun. I'm not a fan of NASCAR (I'm English - it's not a thing here) but I'd still love to drive that car.
you can get in a Nascar, and have it close to the limit pretty quick if you are an accomplished race driver, F1 car may take a few days to get close to the limit.. Jimmy could do it, but not in a few laps, never having done it before.. tire temps , brake temps, cornering forces, neck muscles, fitness, etc, plus a custom seat, left foot braking, all the drs/t/c, electronics , brake bias, and the rate at which things happen in an f1 car (normally off the mark on heavy braking into an apex).. takes time to do well, that car is almost a custom fit for Alonzo's dimensions as well, pedal length , throttle response, tps preference , driving style , plus areo setup.. set the car up nice and neutral, and hope jimmy doesn't pitch in in the wall too many times.. lol Maybe after a good few laps and a day or so , but not in the time allotted for these sawps , kinda fell for Jimmy, talent is there.. just no seat time
"The two legendary world champions went head-to-head in the desert to get a glimpse of how the other half live. And boy, was it epic." Perhaps they did, and perhaps it was. But none of that is shown here.
There was only one World Champion here. As much as I like Jimmie Johnson, he is a seven-time champion of a series that races exclusively in the U.S.. So, he is hardly a 'world' champion. Ditto, the NFL.
Evidently one of the best days of his life, what an epic experience. If only there was footage of him doing the drive, so we could watch it, instead of being told about it lol
Tony Stewart and Lewis did this years ago at Watkins Glen.... It was Covered "live" on SPEED. They had both Nascar commentators and the SPEED F1 commentators covering it.
@Dawn Keebolz turn left and left and left and guess what's next you got it turn left .... nascar is not a motorsport it's a roundabout with no exits...... maybe this is why there are not many in America as they would draw a crowd
Indy is certainly gonna be a challenge; in any given year a good amount of the field has a chance of winning. The 2 times Fernando won only 2 cars really had a chance, at Le Mans it was 1 of the 2 Toyotas or a Rebellion if Toyota were cursed again. That's just the nature of an oval track and a (semi) spec series. Edit: The 2 times Fernando won Monaco only 2 teams had a chance. In 2006 it was gonna be Renault or Ferrari, in 2007 it was gonna be McLaren or Ferrari.
As much as I'd love to see him back in F1, I don't see Renault calling him, not to replace Danny Ric, or Hulkenberg (who has been really been the backbone of the team since their rebuild, and was best of all the other drivers out of the Top 3 this year). I think it would be incredible for the sport for Renault to be competitive and have any 2 of those 3 drivers fighting at the front, especially Alonso, but I fear that won't happen
@@benguest4834 you know that they do them on purpose right? McLaren changed the livery on their normal cars, so they also changed their livery on the test cars, which in this case are the 2013 model.
If you’re interested about just hearing a them talking about what could possibly happen while crappy generic music is blasting, then this is a great video!
They must have so much money that NASCAR shipped a whole car and crew over from the States to *Bahrain* to run a few laps, get some brief interviews and soundbites, just to compare the drivability between the two cars. Must be nice..
Alonso is absolute class. He's a true legendary racing driver of our age. I didn't used to like him much, but seeing him race so hard and how humble and honest he can be turned me right around. He's a great.
As someone who grew up watching NASCAR, My grandfather was a huge Richard Petty fan so there was no way of escaping it, lol. But this is my experience after reading a few comments regarding both NASCAR fans and formula 1 fans: Nascar fans: "We just like cars that go fast. 🤠" F1 fans: "Nascar is stupid and American. Therefore, making it stupid again. 🤓" F1 and Nascar drivers driving each other's cars: "That was a delightful experience and I hope I can experience something like that again! 😮"
2 kinds of V8. Both sounded epic in their own way. (Compared to a V6). The F1 V8 just trumps all in volume though. Lovely! Wish we had a 2.0 V8 Turbo Hybrid with dual exhausts like the old days.
Honestly, the F1 content is improving massively. Contrary to what a lot of people assume, us who live in Europe enjoy seeing Nascars and Indi cars and this sort of interaction between F1 and American motorsport is a great way of bring that about. Alas, the footage was too short. A bit more technical detail of the Nascar would be amazing.
This is nothing to do with F1 and Liberty Media. This is McLaren and Alonso PR. Redbull have been doing this kind of stuff years ago. While Ferrari still didn't understand how to tag their driver in instagram
Agreed. As an American, F1 has really lured me in these last 2 seasons despite no American drivers and only 1 course here. Just an absolutely terrific form of motorsport!
These car swaps are fun and interesting, BUT I think it would be more fair for the F1 drivers to take a lap around Daytona. Get the real experience and get scared a little.
In the Mclaren: Alonso set a 1:40 while Jimmie's time was only 2 tenths off of Fernando's time. In the NASCAR: Jimmie set a 2:14 while Fernando's time was 4 seconds faster with a 2:10. Now you have to remember that Jimmie has never driven on this track while Fernando has for many many years. That's probably why Fernando's time in the NASCAR was faster than Jimmie's.
@@smokeybandit9760 JJ was only 2 tenths slower than ALO? I find this hard to believe, but if so, good for JJ. It's clear that they were both way off pace from this car's performance at Bahrain in 2013... power may be dialed back a bit, but I would have assumed there would have been a larger interval... thanks for the info
I wasn't a JJ fan boy in NASCAR but he is a legitimate driver. I hope to see him run other cars in the future. I think that his time was better than Gordon and Stewart in there car swaps.
Actually, they are limited in which cars they are allowed to use, as if they ran a more modern car they could gain testing data from it for the car or driver, and they wouldn't waste the limited filming days allowed in the current one as they will always seek to gain something from it. I believe the rules say it has to be atleast 4-5 years old.
Gianluca Schaar they wont give a new one because they already use it atm so they cant risk them getting crashed or losing performance while being used by a nascar pilot. İmagine if a current mclaren crashes in a video like this. They would be in a huge disadvantage while the season is still going on
I love this soooo much. So many stereotypes on both sports. Glad to see mascar drivers get a little recognition for driving a car with no downforce or grip or traction control, it’s almost the most pure driving experience. F1 has a lot more electronics and aero involved, which helps the car turn and brake, but speeds are higher so it’s still a challenge. Not to mention you are outside. Lol
People are a little to condescending to Nascar as a whole..... remember Fernando spun out, JJ didnt. Nascars are very difficult to drive (even in an oval), both F1 and Nascar drivers have an immense understanding of autosports and driving.
Every other racing driver driving an f1 car: "OMG OMG IT WAS SO AMAZING, THE BEST DAY IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!" Every F1 driver driving any other racing car: "Yea it was kinda cool"
Thank you very much! The song reminded me of a Chill Trap song that I heard years ago, and you helped me find it again. On the chance that someone else is in my position in the future, the remix was the 'Y2K & Yung Death Ray - What is love? (ft. Jaymes Young)' It's on soundcloud.
On further rabbit hole diving, I've realised that neither is the song I'm looking for, but the song in this video is 'Car Talks - DJ Denz The Rooster' and I swear he's sampled the guitar I'm looking for.
Jimmy take it with you brother, thanks for all the great times you gave us. Your the man....again Thank you for the great Nascar Memories.....Nascar will never be the same.
V6 has more torque, making it more fun to drive. I'm definitely not even close to being a car critic but from what I've experienced, fun doesn't cone from speed unless you are driving a hypercar. The fun part is the torque when you accelerate from 0 to 100 in 6 seconds, boom.
Don't forget Jeff Gordon and Juan Montoya's car swap at Indy before that. Gordon was very impressive in Montoya's Williams. William's considered signing Gordon at the time.
@@armands3153 Gotcha. You'll have to look it up. Gordon pushed the Williams pretty hard. He even overshot a corner and closely spun out like Alonso did in Jimmie's car. Gordon was an amazing talent, especially when he was younger. He would have been the best American driver from NASCAR that could have competed for wins and championships in F1. He grew up racing Sprint cars and holds many records that still stand today. I admit this and never pulled for him.
@W M Don't get mad just because Jimmie was only two tenths off of Alonso the first time driving the car. The acceleration is about the same. The biggest difference is down force ie, cornering speed and breaking. Let's ask Juan Montoya which car is more difficult to drive, let alone win with.
My takeaway is an extremely wholesome video of two different drivers enjoying each others craft... However, I have a feeling the comments will be replete with F1 fans championing their superiority. Let's see how this goes.
Funny, the NASCAR cars are built these days to be able to drive on these courses. 10, 15, 20 years ago they just were too sloppy. They have become more all around racecars with the upgraded technology.
Hey McLaren. My name is Mitch, I drive for nascar. You haven’t heard of me because I’m so good, they can’t score me with the rest of the field. I’m uh... basically invisible. yup. so you... wanna let me and lando switch rides for a day?
The ending music is soo smooth and it's very well shot whatever camera or drone it is its lit and yeah mclaren u guys are always known for catching up cars
Ive got an amazing idea. Let NASCAR run a formula one track as an exhibition like how the NFL plays a game in London every year. Let them run at Monza or silverstone or Spa. See what those nascars can do.
@@rhinoman8586 no. Nascar is an American sport. They dont tend to travel internationally. But seeing them do a race in Europe would be great. Since Nascar is dying it would be an attempt at a jump start.
@@nissan300ztt Nascar used to race in Twin Ring Motegi so it's not out of the question, and they also have a Euro Nascar series with Jacques Villeneuve in it
Tacticool Millenial Nascar has 3 levels and the highest level (the one with Jimmie in it) has 3 road courses (left and right turns) and the other levels have 3-4 road courses they run too and not many people know that out of the states but it’s a stereotype that they only do left turns but look at watkins glen for example.. Anyways also NASCAR has had a ratings increase in all 10-15 races they have had so far this year and attendance has gone up and now almost every race has been either sold out or atleast 80-95% full with all tracks seating atleast 60,000 people and this is the first 1/3rd of the season and it gets even more exciting later in the season and that’s where all the hype in the states happens so it was dying but now is back on the rise again slowly but surely.
Gotta figure that it is less of an adjustment for the F1 driver to go to a NASCAR since that is closer to a street vehicle so at least there is a point of comparison vs the F1 car for which there really is nothing to compare it to if you have only driven regular cars and NASCAR.
This is very telling. The F1 driver treats the NASCAR as a toy, where as the NASCAR driver probably had a lot of trouble with the F1 car (hence the lack of footage.) There is another video with Hamilton on youtube somewhere where they showed a lot of lap footage (and compared lap times), that one is better than this one.
Jimmie and Fernando both done really well. Alonso spun around once, under acceleration, off a slow corner and that was it. I don't believe Jimmie had any issues. Both ran solid times, for never being in the others cars. And yes, the swap between Lewis Hamilton and Tony Stewart was much better. It was televised, hence the amount of footage versus this. Lap times weren't really relevant in that one at all, because the track was drying as both were switching cars.
@@nathanfaith8973 I think Jeff Gordon and Juan Pablo Montoya were the first to do it, it also had a lot more footage of them driving the cars and Gordon cut some nice laps.
My goodness, that's the 3rd time that I've seen a driver had done the car swap between NASCAR, & F1. Jeff Gordon, & Juan Pablo Montoya at the Brickyard 2003, Tony Stewart, & Lewis Hamilton at Watkins Glen 2011. Now, Jimmie Johnson, & Fernando Alonso get to swap cars between NASCAR & F1. As a diehard fan of racing, I like all kinds of racing. I don't do racing with two wheels, it's gotta be all 4 wheels. 🏁
It was Jimmy’s Last race today at Fontana Speedway, and I was lucky enough to watch him race. He didn’t get first but he had an extremely good race. God speed Jimmy. Leave a like for arguably one of the greatest drivers in history
Everyone throwing jabs at the cup car it takes a driver with real skill to drive a race car that constantly changes throughout a race . Car has entirely too much horsepower for the grip level.. no matter how boring NASCAR can be to watch it's a chess game against the vehicle itself ....constantly working on that car throughout a race day to make it better to make it faster... On top of that sitting in a car for three to five hours in intense Heat. I think people should give NASCAR a little bit more respect
Alonso, en la entrevista después del podio de Lemans, se le escapó que su intención era la Tetra Corona. Correrá en Daytona. Alonso said after the podium of lemans, who would try to overcome the triple crown, adding the championships and other iconic races. The champioships maybe not yet, but he wants to try the iconic races to catch experience.
if anyone wants to see a real nascar car and f1 car swap, look up Tony Stewart and Lewis Hamilton seat swap. Full 45min show of them driving each other's car at Watkins Glen

The technical prowess of F1 and the rawness of NASCAR is what makes this so awesome. It’s like an Olympic Fencer vs a Strongman.
This is the best analogy I've seen yet. Everyone else is just F1 fans trying to make fun of NASCAR knowing they've never watched a race
Just get the triple crown and come back home to f1 Fernando.
He ended it on his own terms and wasn’t pushed out as many greats do in a variety of sports
@@lopezandrs Yeah I know but still it will be great if for the last time he comes back to f1. Probably in Renault ?? Will be a full circle.
Rumour has it he will be the only car on the grid at Indy 500 so he can ‘win’ that as well.
Indy is certainly gonna be a challenge; in any given year a good amount of the field has a chance of winning. The 2 times Fernando won only 2 cars really had a chance, at Le Mans it was 1 of the 2 Toyotas or a Rebellion if Toyota were cursed again. That's just the nature of an oval track and a (semi) spec series.
Edit: The 2 times Fernando won Monaco only 2 teams had a chance. In 2006 it was gonna be Renault or Ferrari, in 2007 it was gonna be McLaren or Ferrari.
As much as I'd love to see him back in F1, I don't see Renault calling him, not to replace Danny Ric, or Hulkenberg (who has been really been the backbone of the team since their rebuild, and was best of all the other drivers out of the Top 3 this year). I think it would be incredible for the sport for Renault to be competitive and have any 2 of those 3 drivers fighting at the front, especially Alonso, but I fear that won't happen
FA: That was fun.
JJ: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Well I mean it's hard to get the full experience of a Nascar Stock Car if it's not on the big ovals or in a big drafting pack.
It's the same when Alonso would drive a GT3 car obviously its not as mind blowing as F1

It has to do with F1 testing rules, when Hamilton and Tony Stewart swapped rides in 2011, McLaren had to use the 2008 car.

3:37 I was poor so I never had that lmao
They must have so much money that NASCAR shipped a whole car and crew over from the States to *Bahrain* to run a few laps, get some brief interviews and soundbites, just to compare the drivability between the two cars. Must be nice..
A Chaps they could prolly make the chassis there I’m guessing so it’s prolly not that expensive but idk
Alonso is absolute class.
He's a true legendary racing driver of our age. I didn't used to like him much, but seeing him race so hard and how humble and honest he can be turned me right around. He's a great.
As someone who grew up watching NASCAR, My grandfather was a huge Richard Petty fan so there was no way of escaping it, lol. But this is my experience after reading a few comments regarding both NASCAR fans and formula 1 fans:
Nascar fans: "We just like cars that go fast. 🤠"
F1 fans: "Nascar is stupid and American. Therefore, making it stupid again. 🤓"
F1 and Nascar drivers driving each other's cars: "That was a delightful experience and I hope I can experience something like that again! 😮"
2 kinds of V8. Both sounded epic in their own way. (Compared to a V6). The F1 V8 just trumps all in volume though. Lovely!
Wish we had a 2.0 V8 Turbo Hybrid with dual exhausts like the old days.
The V6 actually sounds epic of the limiter goes above 18000 rpm. But they can't do that because it needs to last really long

Nah, Formula E. -woosh- :D
Honestly, the F1 content is improving massively. Contrary to what a lot of people assume, us who live in Europe enjoy seeing Nascars and Indi cars and this sort of interaction between F1 and American motorsport is a great way of bring that about. Alas, the footage was too short. A bit more technical detail of the Nascar would be amazing.
No we dont only a tiny tiny tiny group of euro automotive viewers watch nascar. And they are often called massive idiots
Psycho Bergmuis Nice 👍 keep up the positive vibe
This is nothing to do with F1 and Liberty Media. This is McLaren and Alonso PR. Redbull have been doing this kind of stuff years ago. While Ferrari still didn't understand how to tag their driver in instagram
Agreed. As an American, F1 has really lured me in these last 2 seasons despite no American drivers and only 1 course here. Just an absolutely terrific form of motorsport!
Psycho Bergmuis someone’s compensating for something.
These car swaps are fun and interesting, BUT I think it would be more fair for the F1 drivers to take a lap around Daytona. Get the real experience and get scared a little.
Fernando Alonso overtake on Michael Schumacher in 2005 in Japan would break every Nascar drivers neck... U Americans are just delusional
And the question everyone is asking, Lap times ???? Give up the goods.
In the Mclaren: Alonso set a 1:40 while Jimmie's time was only 2 tenths off of Fernando's time. In the NASCAR: Jimmie set a 2:14 while Fernando's time was 4 seconds faster with a 2:10. Now you have to remember that Jimmie has never driven on this track while Fernando has for many many years. That's probably why Fernando's time in the NASCAR was faster than Jimmie's.
@@smokeybandit9760 JJ was only 2 tenths slower than ALO? I find this hard to believe, but if so, good for JJ.
It's clear that they were both way off pace from this car's performance at Bahrain in 2013... power may be dialed back a bit, but I would have assumed there would have been a larger interval... thanks for the info
@Nanderlizer Nanderlizer Jimmie isn't even that great on road courses, Kyle Busch or Martin Truex Jr would've been way faster than JJ's time
@@smokeybandit9760 thanks
I wasn't a JJ fan boy in NASCAR but he is a legitimate driver. I hope to see him run other cars in the future. I think that his time was better than Gordon and Stewart in there car swaps.
Love how they have to use an old F1 car just so it doesn’t breakdown
Actually, they are limited in which cars they are allowed to use, as if they ran a more modern car they could gain testing data from it for the car or driver, and they wouldn't waste the limited filming days allowed in the current one as they will always seek to gain something from it. I believe the rules say it has to be atleast 4-5 years old.
Gianluca Schaar thats what i was thinking
Gianluca Schaar they wont give a new one because they already use it atm so they cant risk them getting crashed or losing performance while being used by a nascar pilot. İmagine if a current mclaren crashes in a video like this. They would be in a huge disadvantage while the season is still going on
It’d breakdown anyway
ozan özenir That’s not why at all. Using a current car is against F1 rules.
My favorite part was them talking for 4:50 and then 16 seconds of the cars going down the straight. EPIC.
Would be a better video with more driving and less music.

Fernando Alonso driving the Nascar:
"GP2 Engine, GP2 engine"
Nah NASCAR stock cars have a lot of speed, but they have restrictor plates bc The accidemt of Talladega in 1987
Miss that sound from 2013 F1, that’s the real F1 !!!!
V10 sound was better.
V10 was the sauce
I love this soooo much. So many stereotypes on both sports. Glad to see mascar drivers get a little recognition for driving a car with no downforce or grip or traction control, it’s almost the most pure driving experience. F1 has a lot more electronics and aero involved, which helps the car turn and brake, but speeds are higher so it’s still a challenge. Not to mention you are outside. Lol
People are a little to condescending to Nascar as a whole..... remember Fernando spun out, JJ didnt. Nascars are very difficult to drive (even in an oval), both F1 and Nascar drivers have an immense understanding of autosports and driving.
Holy crap, why cover up those beautiful engine sounds with music? I love the old school OHV V8 barble of stock cars.
Alonso= that was a lot of fun
Johnson= THIS IS WHAT I WANT
2 Great Legends in their respective sports. I wouldn't mind seeing more F1 guys trying out NASCAR and vice versa.
Every other racing driver driving an f1 car: "OMG OMG IT WAS SO AMAZING, THE BEST DAY IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!"

Thank you very much! The song reminded me of a Chill Trap song that I heard years ago, and you helped me find it again.
On the chance that someone else is in my position in the future, the remix was the 'Y2K & Yung Death Ray - What is love? (ft. Jaymes Young)' It's on soundcloud.

Thank you
Bring the F1 V8 back
V10 was the best sound.
V6 has more torque, making it more fun to drive.
I'm definitely not even close to being a car critic but from what I've experienced, fun doesn't cone from speed unless you are driving a hypercar. The fun part is the torque when you accelerate from 0 to 100 in 6 seconds, boom.
The newer cars are faster, so they won't
Freedom Car v European car, cool to see the massive differences
This reminds me of Hamilton's and Stewart's back in 2011, I think it was. And also damn, Alonso is pretty quick in that car.
Don't forget Jeff Gordon and Juan Montoya's car swap at Indy before that. Gordon was very impressive in Montoya's Williams. William's considered signing Gordon at the time.
@@jasonwiggins6137 I was only two then, sadly.
@@armands3153 Gotcha. You'll have to look it up. Gordon pushed the Williams pretty hard. He even overshot a corner and closely spun out like Alonso did in Jimmie's car. Gordon was an amazing talent, especially when he was younger. He would have been the best American driver from NASCAR that could have competed for wins and championships in F1. He grew up racing Sprint cars and holds many records that still stand today. I admit this and never pulled for him.
@@jasonwiggins6137 Yup, i remember Gordon was pretty kick in the Williams.I was amazed.
@W M Don't get mad just because Jimmie was only two tenths off of Alonso the first time driving the car. The acceleration is about the same. The biggest difference is down force ie, cornering speed and breaking. Let's ask Juan Montoya which car is more difficult to drive, let alone win with.
I can imagine how Johnson felt, driving a V8 F1, man that rev sound, V8’s have no comparison
yes v10
Besides, of course, the v10.
one of my favorite parts about nascar is the actual battling for spots on the track and the aggression drivers are able to use by hitting each other.
Man they took it literally when they said “a glimpse”
I miss the days where we could stand shoulder to shoulder and not have to have a mask on
My takeaway is an extremely wholesome video of two different drivers enjoying each others craft... However, I have a feeling the comments will be replete with F1 fans championing their superiority. Let's see how this goes.
This is why I want to see NASCAR race internationally on these types of circuits!
Funny, the NASCAR cars are built these days to be able to drive on these courses. 10, 15, 20 years ago they just were too sloppy. They have become more all around racecars with the upgraded technology.
COTA in nascar bro!!
They already race on road courses
Hey McLaren. My name is Mitch, I drive for nascar. You haven’t heard of me because I’m so good, they can’t score me with the rest of the field. I’m uh... basically invisible. yup.
so you... wanna let me and lando switch rides for a day?
Mitch is my favorite NASCAR driver! He would do great in an F1 (2013 model)!
Yeah sure bud
The ending music is soo smooth and it's very well shot whatever camera or drone it is its lit and yeah mclaren u guys are always known for catching up cars

Ive got an amazing idea. Let NASCAR run a formula one track as an exhibition like how the NFL plays a game in London every year. Let them run at Monza or silverstone or Spa. See what those nascars can do.

@@rhinoman8586 no. Nascar is an American sport. They dont tend to travel internationally. But seeing them do a race in Europe would be great. Since Nascar is dying it would be an attempt at a jump start.
@@nissan300ztt Nascar used to race in Twin Ring Motegi so it's not out of the question, and they also have a Euro Nascar series with Jacques Villeneuve in it
I would love to see them tearing around Monza. The high speeds, the slow corners, and Parabolica...it's like they were built for it.
Tacticool Millenial Nascar has 3 levels and the highest level (the one with Jimmie in it) has 3 road courses (left and right turns) and the other levels have 3-4 road courses they run too and not many people know that out of the states but it’s a stereotype that they only do left turns but look at watkins glen for example.. Anyways also NASCAR has had a ratings increase in all 10-15 races they have had so far this year and attendance has gone up and now almost every race has been either sold out or atleast 80-95% full with all tracks seating atleast 60,000 people and this is the first 1/3rd of the season and it gets even more exciting later in the season and that’s where all the hype in the states happens so it was dying but now is back on the rise again slowly but surely.
Gotta figure that it is less of an adjustment for the F1 driver to go to a NASCAR since that is closer to a street vehicle so at least there is a point of comparison vs the F1 car for which there really is nothing to compare it to if you have only driven regular cars and NASCAR.
This is very telling. The F1 driver treats the NASCAR as a toy, where as the NASCAR driver probably had a lot of trouble with the F1 car (hence the lack of footage.) There is another video with Hamilton on youtube somewhere where they showed a lot of lap footage (and compared lap times), that one is better than this one.
Jimmie and Fernando both done really well. Alonso spun around once, under acceleration, off a slow corner and that was it. I don't believe Jimmie had any issues. Both ran solid times, for never being in the others cars. And yes, the swap between Lewis Hamilton and Tony Stewart was much better. It was televised, hence the amount of footage versus this. Lap times weren't really relevant in that one at all, because the track was drying as both were switching cars.
@@nathanfaith8973 I think Jeff Gordon and Juan Pablo Montoya were the first to do it, it also had a lot more footage of them driving the cars and Gordon cut some nice laps.
"hence the lack of footage" yeah just make up whatever makes you feel better
Alonso : FUN
Johnson : Best experience of my life
My goodness, that's the 3rd time that I've seen a driver had done the car swap between NASCAR, & F1. Jeff Gordon, & Juan Pablo Montoya at the Brickyard 2003, Tony Stewart, & Lewis Hamilton at Watkins Glen 2011. Now, Jimmie Johnson, & Fernando Alonso get to swap cars between NASCAR & F1. As a diehard fan of racing, I like all kinds of racing. I don't do racing with two wheels, it's gotta be all 4 wheels. 🏁

Everyone throwing jabs at the cup car it takes a driver with real skill to drive a race car that constantly changes throughout a race . Car has entirely too much horsepower for the grip level.. no matter how boring NASCAR can be to watch it's a chess game against the vehicle itself ....constantly working on that car throughout a race day to make it better to make it faster... On top of that sitting in a car for three to five hours in intense Heat. I think people should give NASCAR a little bit more respect
the F1 driver was playing with it like a toy LOL
F1 drivers have always mentioned the power when describing a cup car and what does Nascar do? Take away the power
