Description:

The Tow, The Block, The Switchback, The Hang Out

Ex-F1 drivers Mark Blundell and Martin Brundle took 2 modern F1 cars round the Silverstone F1 circuit to try and describe the experience of 2 F1 cars battling for position during and F1 race.

The cars are pre 2009, before changes were made to F1 rules to try and improve overtaking and making it easier for one F1 car to follow another car.

In the video we see the effect of slipstreaming, getting in the tow of an F1 car and the techniques that drivers use to block each other.
