The McLaren star said it was not for him, and added that driving in F1 was always the dream for him.

“In addition, those guys are crazy. I think, for me, the speeds … the walls are so close that you must trust the people around you,” he said, through Indy Star. “Crass A car F1 at the speeds that hurts us.

“Add another 20 to 30 mph … basically they go to 20 mph faster as an average speed than our maximum speed. It is not a matter of hurting, it is a matter of how much it will hurt.”
