Man he is a good driver. Made a bozo move in front of our stands at the Indy 500 this year but so talented. He just got inpatient in that moment more then likely.
This is marvelous to show the long version of Pato doing laps with the McLaren, as the Racer Channel posted a short video that did not show an entire lap at speed; though there was an interview with Pato in that video. That interview can be found on the youtube Racer channel.
Depending that the videos shown were at the true recording/playback speed, I did some comparisons: For Pato's drive I used the bridge as a start/finish line and clocked a lap at 1 minute, 48 seconds. On the Racer YT channel I clocked Tony Kanaan lap speed in the MP4/6 at 1 minute, 26 seconds. Provided both drives used the same course configuration as the IndyCars in the September 2023 race, the IndyCar qualifying lap times were around 1 minute, 17 seconds.
@@trappenweisseguy27 he's doing big lifts and on and off throttle at the apex or on throttle after the apex. Still doing much better than any of us would driving a 60s F1 car for the first time haha.
Honestly he looks like he’s really fighting the car. Balky shifting, lifting way early, missing apexes and climbing over kerbing…obviously since it’s not his car he’s being careful but you never get the impression that he’s ever anywhere near a really quick lap…
@@kimifan06 Aha, interesting. By coincidence I don't know how to do that either 😊 I did notice that the speed at that point wasn't so fast, maybe 200kph (120mph), but still woulda been ugly if he'd gone off track 😳
@@kimifan06 Considering Pato was under stress driving the M7C, where muscle and reaction memories at speed would be from years of driving modern open-wheel racers; I can imagine for any top-tiered professional driver that driving a 1960s F1 car would be very challenging, as everything was mechanical back then. Then put into the mix that the manual shift is an 'H' pattern, with concerns about blowing up a vintage engine with a 'missed' or improper shift. The rudimentary wings gave little downforce. Ground effects for improved road-holding? The world would be introduced by that aero revolution in the 1970 Can Am series with the Chaparral 2J sports car; but was still years away in F1.
It is such much more interesting watching drivers actually shift gears in these classic race events than modern day hi-tech F1 which are pretty boring to watch. It is a pity F1 does not ditch the paddle shift & change the rules so drivers revert to shifting a stick instead even if it is seqentual anything is better than flicking a paddle on the wheel
Yeah the downshifts were pretty awful, it could be the pedal box that was to tight, or maybe he isn't used to heel toe shifting. Anyway a good drive, looks like a riot :)
They literally never used an H-pattern before. You see it with good young drivers in Goodwood series as well. Was a bit like rowing anyway but I never miss a chance to imitate Mario and Schecter braking for Queen's Hairpin in '77.
painful to hear the gearbox without heel and toeing... Young racers (as good as they are) have lost the art (not their fault... technology on modern cars) He's probably thinking, give me my Indy car back !! :) Shame though, it's half of the fun and he lost the rear a few times as a result
damn. sounds great, but looks not smooth, really rough and awkward gear changes. Maybe not wanting to damage a priceless F1 car? Cool track though. Still an old school fan....

Oh my Goodness! 🔥❤❤❤🔥 Thanks, Marshall, Pato, and all others who helped get this video out! 🎉👍👍

The sound!!!. Thankfully the suspension didn't collapse, to make it even more period correct
thank you for posting
Tony Kanan can teach you how to downshift heel toe

Nice to see car properly put through it's paces et all but incredible to see young guns these days can't heel and toe.
Amazing footage!
Looks and sounds awesome. Seems like he was taking it pretty easy.

He’s clearly marginal when it comes to using the gearbox.
@@bloqk16 It's not the same configuration as Indy

Celestial!
Fun fact about this track is it’s also the return road for dragsters. I hear driving a 30 foot long car is a little difficult
Would love to hear his post-run thoughts...any links, Marshall?
It’s on the Racer channel
Why Pato didnt drive the MP4/14 on sunday? That was in the schedule right?
Cool footage, he almost had a moment at 2:21
Yeah, I commented the same thing. It was almost game over 😐
he doesn't know how to blip/heel-toe apparently! chirping those rear wheels

He needs to practice his rev matching on downshifts.

Spoiler alert.. it was almost game over at the 2:20 mark. Both driver & car woulda been trashed !!!

When the back end stepped out it put rest any thought he was finding time under braking without the heel and toe.

No offense to Pato, but I'd love to see this car driven properly by a driver who actually knows how to drive a manual transmission.
