Michael Schumacher keeps Lewis Hamilton up at night and likely inspires Max Verstappen. Hamilton is tied with Schumacher with seven F1 Driver World Championships, and Verstappen because he has won the last three Driver Championships and is leading in points this season. Schumacher won the Championship twice driving for Benetton in 1994 and 1995 and an astonishing five years from 2000 through 2004 for Ferrari.

In addition to establishing Ferrari as a powerhouse team at the beginning of the 21st century, Schumacher also amassed an unprecedented and unbeaten sweep of podiums, wins, pole positions, and fastest laps. Schumacher, who trained and worked as a mechanic early on, was also noteworthy for his work with Ferrari team engineers and mechanics on the race cars. For many F1 fans in the 1990s and 2000s, Michael Schumacher was the greatest F1 driver in the world.

Pirelli’s Hot Laps are a three-minute taste of an F1 track

It's a once-in a life time experience coupled with an intense core workout

The COTA track at the start of Hot Laps

Most of us will never get behind the wheel of a race car, let alone nab a seat in F1. But Pirelli’s Hot Laps, which are held on occasional Grand Prix weekends, can give you a taste of the experience.

The premise for Hot Laps is simple. You get a fast car, stick a very good driver behind the wheel, and put a lucky individual in the passenger seat, and let them rip around a race track at high speed. I got to experience a lap at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, right before the U.S. Grand Prix. Currently, Hot Laps happen at around 10 races per year, though this could always vary. Here's how to experience Pirelli Hot Laps and what to expect if you get a seat.

If you've considered putting together the components and software for a realistic F1 race car simulator, the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team and Momento Exclusives have already done the work. Collectors, sim racers, and Aston Martin F1 race fans can own a simulator with motion technology that provides an unparalleled immersive experience.
Why launch an Aston Martin Aramco simulator now?

Aston Martin drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll are both part of the story behind the launch of this latest technology simulator. The simulator launch recognizes Alonso's participation in the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix, his unprecedented 400th F1 race. Lance Stoll has also credited simulator practice sessions with helping him rehabilitate a broken wrist during the 2023 F1 season before his sixth-place finish in the Bahrain Gran Prix.
