Nabil has made motorsports history by becoming the youngest ever to drive an F1 car in an official test.

Congratulations Nabil!

Good find John. Nice to see video of the event.

Looks like Nabil pulled in about half a meter short of where the team wanted him on the first roll into the pits - but then got it right the 2nd time around. :D

He's heading straight for the F-BMW AFOS races this weekend in China. He's really going to bitch at Eurasia about the car - no power, brakes crap etc :-)

Why have 300hp when you cannot handle a kart's 30hp?
