H ypercars and F1 have a lot in common. Nope, not the tech drip manufacturers insist their latest hyperthing is riddled with, but because the hype, anticipation and web of stories and scenarios before a new season or car launch is often more interesting than the driving itself.
A line in Chris’ Valkyrie piece stopped me in my tracks: “It could be argued that these cars are better left as static objects and maybe demonstrated by others so we can all hear them and see them scream past.” A dedicated driver to parade your £2.5m purchase in front of you so you can revel in its beauty and aural firepower without sacrificing your spine and eardrums? Now there’s a hell of an optional extra.
