In a collaboration with Buzzfeed Celebrity and F1: The movie, the Formula 1 drivers on the grid took a United States driving test. Sonny Hayes is a fictional American Formula 1 driver from the new
Formula 1 movie. To support the film, drivers like
Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly,
Lando Norris and many others took a "Driver's ED Test".
'F1 drivers take a U.S. Driver's Ed Test'
Before you are allowed to get behind the wheel of a car in America, you must have a permit. To get this, you must pass a test showing that you know the proper signs and protocols for driving on the road.
Some drivers went into the test feeling extra confident. Norris said it would be easy, as “there are a lot of people in America that shouldn’t drive” Other drivers like Esteban Ocon and Yuki Tsunoda thought they were going to fail.
The test started out simple, asking about how you should parallel park. All of the drivers clicked the appropriate answer. You should drive up beside the car and then back into the space.
However, not long after that, things started to heat up. The drivers then had to ask themselves, “What’s an intersection?”, “What’s a yield?”, “What side of the road does America drive on?”
During the video George Russell even admitted to disregarding traffic rules and “just sending it”.
