Abdul • very true but i didnt dislike him simply because of that. I used to dislike his approach (before I understood the guy) a lot. But its not a complete race weekend in his absence (or teds).

And smooth... Toto had to catch the rear a couple times and that just kills momentum. That said, good effort, 3 seconds off an F1 driver. I'd be very happy if I got to within 5 seconds.
@@SerPurple51 They've raced a few things against each other over the years, and whilst Kimi has won every time i've seen, it's very impressive just how close Brundle can still get even to a current F1 driver who was still getting wins and poles at the time. If you put all 20 current F1 drivers behind the wheel of an AMG GT and got them setting times, i'd be pretty confident Martin would be quicker than several of them.
bc they feel so much more about the car than a regular person would. a pro driver notices every bit of loss of traction or when the car goes somewhat off line, but when theyre the passenger, they cant do anything about it and they dont know whether the driver has already corrected or not
Martin was relaxed too as a passenger. Guess racing drivers are accustomed to high speed and it feels like normal speed to them. Toto grimaced so much in trepidation when he was the passenger.
Brundle is so fast he is going quicker than basically any of us possibly could in that car, while talking so relaxed you wouldn't even know he's not just standing in the comm box. Brundle drips class
Just goes to show you never really lose it, Martin Brundle has been a good replacement for Murray, different style, F1 driver experience... Very good all round.
Toto was never going to beat an ex F1 driver. If I remember correctly Martin had the smallest delta to Micheal Shumacher, well it was him or Massa or the many teammates Schumacher had. Martin averaged about 0.200 off Schumacher, Jonny herbert was a clean second a lap slower.
I've been watching F1 since the 80's but, I absolutely love this generation of drivers! The one time (imo) social media has done good! we really got to see these young drivers as who they are and not just what we read in magazines.
Martin Brundle is one of the best commentators in sport and of all Schumacher's teammates the one who got closest to him in terms of results before Schumi's first retirement. Given that Schumi had Piquet, Barrichello and Massa among his teammates that's no small feat.
Many sports broadcasts involve former professional athletes. And F1 is no exception. Martin Brundle raced in Formula one until 1997 when he joined Murray Walker in the broadcast booth
Toto's a bit of a demon behind the wheel, i saw the vid at Suzuka where he did a similar thing with his wife Suzie, she did a lap 1st and toto was shitting himself like he'd never been fast before but when Toto got behind the wheel i thought this is gonna be embarrassing but from the start Toto buried the throttle and drove the nuts off the thing and for the whole lap Suzie was screaming at him - she kept telling him what corner is coming up next and where to brake and which way to turn like Toto had never been at Suzuka before, she nearly divorced him by the final corner
this is why TOTO is so good at what he does. He can easily gauge the driver. He was spot on about the time difference. I am damn sure, after Ross Brawn, he will be the greatest and the best team principal.
Martin Brundle i followed this guys career and i admire him imensely! he was beating Senna in his day! Martin just had pretty bad luck in F1 career , but a Lemans Winner he is a fantastically underrated driver! GO Martin GO!
Love it how Martin brundle knows every corner and bump. When to accelerate and brake. He knows more then the f1 drivers lol. To be fair he was pretty descent in f1 too. Great man I say
Toto; trying to hold onto everything, telling Martin to slow down Martin Brundle; leaning back, resting on the armrest, cracking jokes... i guess thats what sets apart an F1 driver!
Brundle's race in IROC at the Cleveland airport road course was amazing! He was really the class of the field and it was full of legends of racing. In fact, here is the whole race: ua-cam.com/video/YcKaAHN40YY/v-deo.html
I think that all the team bosses should be let out in their F1 cars for a 10 lap race in dry conditions. Their grid position should be drawn from a hat. That would be interesting.....
That jet fighter kamikaze spirit that F1 drivers have was shown here clearly ... and Max could be a second or 2 faster due youth. Amazing stuff gentleman
Martin did his lap with ease. Talked all the way through it which means that he was driving fast but well within his limits. Saying that Toto did very well to get within 3 seconds. Racing an ex-F1 driver is a challenge he couldn't win. Martin was super smooth.
Toto's lap has been deleted due to exceeding track limits at turn 19.
That's 5 seconds
*Tables breaking everywhere
“Don’t respond, I know what you’re gonna say.”
NO
Are you sure is not a racing incident?
He's a commentator even when driving!

Muntu Blackson you can like people if they dont like the people that you like
Rowan Vedangi which is good because he knows what he’s going on about. Just like James hunt was a brilliant commentator
The guy is a beast. Really like Brundle...

"Presumably if you are late you let Susie drive" 😂
The polite burnnnn 😂😂😂😱
Identical car, identical setup, identical weight, same tyres... 3 seconds a lap between an extremely talented driver, and an F1 driver. Impressive.
wolf didnt have any success as a driver. if he was extremely talented then how talented was brundle?:)

People tend to forget, how fast Martin Brundle is..
Aslak Vind it was great a few years ago seeing him and Raikkonen together with the Ferrari F1 car. You could tell Kimi really respected him.

Once an F1 pilot, always an F1 pilot I guess.
Epic video.
Cheers, guys

@@huaichien Toto Wolff raced at a high level as well though. It shows how talented f1 drivers are
Martin was one of the greatest sportscars drivers of his day. This is in his element right here
Not bad for a no. 2 driver , cheers
No one says pilot it's ridiculous
“Toto, it’s James”
OOF
Love it. Toto holding on to the dashboard the whole way around, whilst Martin as a passenger looks as relaxed as if he's in a cab.
Toto: Martin is faster.
Toto: sets purple sectors.
1:19 Toto: "Lift! LIFT!" Hahahaha. Brundle is an international treasure
Brundle is so fast he is going quicker than basically any of us possibly could in that car, while talking so relaxed you wouldn't even know he's not just standing in the comm box.

Toto pretending like he never raced to a decent level before! 😂
Jovial Gent I was thinking the same hahahahaha
He hasn’t
@@jamescollier8847 super informative rebuttal there. Congrats on you super licence btw! 🔔🔚
Yeah he raced, Brundle had Schumacher and Senna amongst others in his F1 career.
Love to see you go round 3 seconds slower with no practice
@@paulhurley860 who are you talking to Paul?
Martin was sandbagging. Take that Toto 😂
lol i bet, he was talking the whole time!
toto's backseat driving and hand on the dash reminded me of when i was 17 driving my dad around
He's just trying to get Martin to record a slower lap time
Toto was pressuring Brundle to brake early to slow him down, and when it was Toto's turn, he was doing the opposite. Late braking. Toto the old fox 🦊
I think you mean the old wolf
😂😂
No one:
Brundle: "The straight is not at all straight, is it? It's like a double banana"
"That's the Max Verstappen line in there" ahhhh yeah the kind of line that gets you ahead of Kimi but out of the podium... such a classic 😂😂😂
1:19 “lift...LIFT!” F1 drivers can scare the bejesus out of anyone.
Just goes to show you never really lose it, Martin Brundle has been a good replacement for Murray, different style, F1 driver experience... Very good all round.
Martin, you bring so much joy to the world of F1! Thank you!
Martin was pretty handy in those Jaguar Group C monsters...
Fair play to Brundle, he last raced in the 1996 F1 season and he's still got the edge.
Toto was never going to beat an ex F1 driver. If I remember correctly Martin had the smallest delta to Micheal Shumacher, well it was him or Massa or the many teammates Schumacher had. Martin averaged about 0.200 off Schumacher, Jonny herbert was a clean second a lap slower.
toto did an interview few years back....admitting he never had that kind of talent....martin is expected to crush him
Martin was a formidable driver
mukundan nair he just didn’t get the machinery to match his talent
I think totto beat Lewis in Silverstone this yr. Shows how far Lewis is but still wins because of dominant car.
@@suryavikaas_64 ridiculous. Either he never beat Lewis or was allowed to win.
Martin must be really quick to beat Toto by 3 seconds
F1 driver never forgets how to apex a corner.
Brundle easily ranks up there with the best f1 drivers never to win a race.
Ethanmeister deffo. Great sports car driver too, drove the Toyota gt1.
He was the closest to Schumacher during their stint
@@imakevidsable They should have just kept him till end of 1995-none of this Verstappen/Patrese nonsense. Even Herbert was quite a bit further away.
“They say you cut the course. You’re going to have to slow down to give up the time gained”
I've been watching F1 since the 80's but, I absolutely love this generation of drivers! The one time (imo) social media has done good! we really got to see these young drivers as who they are and not just what we read in magazines.
Not all that surprised considering they both have raced and Martin still races. Typical race drivers, they hate being passengers.
Annette Huppatz I believe Toto still does classic racing, rally even
Seeing Toto's personality is refreshing
Brilliant! Loved this. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. MORE! MORE! MORE! Please.
Nobody :

Get in there, Toto. Awesome job, mate.
This is gold
No tables are harmed during the making of this video.
Sorry I just want to say it :v
Lol good one!
James: Martin , this is James ...
"No Martin, no no Martin, this is so not right!"
This was awesome. More of this please!
Martin was chippin 🚗 💨 💥
Martin's just full out commentating his own lap and still faster that Toto lmao
Absolutely hilarious! Thank you for sharing!
A minute off F1. Wow! This is one of the best track road cars too.
The 'slow' 2019 Williams F1 car did 1:35.372, and the 919 Mk 3 was the fastest non F1 Car at 1:44.26
@Donald Trump Umm Donald 2:34 vs 1:33.
F1 cars do hot laps, so there are a few seconds off there, and the Merc was using road tires, etc.
Brake! Brake! Brake! That reminds me of Susie and Toto in Suzuka
Many sports broadcasts involve former professional athletes. And F1 is no exception. Martin Brundle raced in Formula one until 1997 when he joined Murray Walker in the broadcast booth

The Merc isn't a slow car and yet, F1 are a minute quicker? Holy Cow!!
The more the car looks smooth and fast the faster time u have.. :D Showed by Martin Brundle!!
Both great people and for a great charity
Imagine coming across a F1 driver in normal cars on the twisting roads lol and you think you can smoke and old timer 😂😂
Once an f1 driver ... always an f1 driver
Great fun. I wonder how good Toto would have been if he'd kept with it. Probably too tall but he looked to have what it takes.
this is why TOTO is so good at what he does. He can easily gauge the driver. He was spot on about the time difference. I am damn sure, after Ross Brawn, he will be the greatest and the best team principal.
"Too fast Martin" 0:57
Toto wouldn't have one of his driver's 3 secs off the pace.
His time would be deleted under F1 rules anyway
Martin Brundle i followed this guys career and i admire him imensely! he was beating Senna in his day! Martin just had pretty bad luck in F1 career , but a Lemans Winner he is a fantastically underrated driver! GO Martin GO!
3:52 - Track Limits, 5 second penalty
For Ocon
It’s completely appropriate that you guys did this in the Merc car model that’s used for the safety car... this challenge was just a bit less safe
If they weren't both in the car for this I'd say Brundle had a weight disadvantage.
The lap at Suzuka with the Wolf family was much more entertainment :p But Brundle is still a very fast man!
Hysterical! Good on you guys.
Great video! Thank you
5 second time penalty to Martin for talking while driving. That's it, Merc 1, all in perfect balance as it should be
Love it how Martin brundle knows every corner and bump. When to accelerate and brake. He knows more then the f1 drivers lol. To be fair he was pretty descent in f1 too. Great man I say
Love that colour, great looking car
Also people forget that although he never quite had a good run in F1, he was always an amazing sports car driver
Awesome to see he’s still got it.
Should have put Lewis in, for an additional benchmark
Tut tut tut Martin @ 1:00 all four wheels off the track!!!!!
Man I wonder what Toto would have been up to if it wasn’t for his massive crash at the Nurburgring after to setting the GT lap record
Toto; trying to hold onto everything, telling Martin to slow down
Martin Brundle; leaning back, resting on the armrest, cracking jokes... i guess thats what sets apart an F1 driver!

Toto Wolff full gangsta mode 2:37
Why contemporary cameras have to be zoomed in so much? It does not show any context of the circuit other than the car? Same as all the F1 races?
More of this! Great fun! Good cause!
3 seconds is just pure carnage, surprised that german didnt commit sepuku on the spot.
Only because he's not japanese, he would otherwise 🤣
@ 1:24 Jacket says nooooooo THis Mercedes has good rear compartment storage.
I luv that, Martin's eyes said it all...... there were a few times he was a little uncomfortable..
I think that all the team bosses should be let out in their F1 cars for a 10 lap race in dry conditions. Their grid position should be drawn from a hat. That would be interesting.....
this fun to watch ,It will be nice to see Suzie Vs Totto next time.
3:53 Sensors tell us the lap is cancelled, i'm sorry Toto ahah
I’d give my right arm to drive a track in that AMG 😍is ring it’s neck !
That jet fighter kamikaze spirit that F1 drivers have was shown here clearly ... and Max could be a second or 2 faster due youth. Amazing stuff gentleman
That was fun. Who is Zach Brown?
Wasn't Brundle the "stig" at one time...
This is awesome
We should let Susie drive again😂
Oh my god, that is a great idea lol.. yeah and when toto was driving she was super nerve wracked about how fast he was going.
Toto, a 7:03 Nurburgring record lap.
Only 3 seconds between Toto and a former f1 driver... Quite impressive, even if Toto did have a previous career in racing
Martin did his lap with ease. Talked all the way through it which means that he was driving fast but well within his limits. Saying that Toto did very well to get within 3 seconds.
Racing an ex-F1 driver is a challenge he couldn't win. Martin was super smooth.
"And here is where Sebastian where break his suspension"
Brundle commentating the entire lap.. incredible
Martin's still got it
I love this man
All this is missing was for Louis H to see what he could do. Would have been interesting. Minus 3secs on Martin?
Brundle is humble he wasn’t even trying , that car was too slow for him put him in an AM or a Porsche he’d have maced it ... great driver .
"Toto, it's James...."
Pair of good dudes for doing this. :)
Toto was like hanging on to his dear life. I beat he feels safer in the car with Susie than Martin.
Have you seen him in the car with S!
Martin Brundle is a goat he is such a legend in Motorsport
Get to the choppa!
3 seconds WOW! destroyed him... gwaan Brundle
