What ‘s Private Car F1 Drivers?


People know them when they drive a Formula 1 car. But the car is actually what they wear while undergoing daily activities outside of racing?

As an F1 driver with a salary not less, of course most of the drivers were collecting luxury sports cars. But there also are choosing a car class mediocrity.

As reported by the German automotive magazine, Bild, Virgin Racing drivers, Timo Glock, for example. The German daily wear small car, the Toyota IQ.

Quoted from the site of Toyota, the Toyota IQ is a city car with engine capacity of two variants, namely the 1.0 liter and 1.3 liter. This little car has two doors and can only be filled two passengers.

But Glock also has a collection of more ok, namely a sports car Nissan GT-R. Japanese car manufacturer's production had a 3.8-liter kitchen runway could speed up to 311 km per hour speed.

Well, considering that most of the drivers worked for car makers, then it is plural if they have a homemade car and drove her employer.

Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso for example. Massa got a Ferrari 599, while Alonso had a Ferrari 458 Italy. In addition, Alonso also had two Maserati cars.  It's okay, because Maserati is also the son of Italian carmaker Fiat, which also oversees Ferrari.

Mercedes McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, driving a Mercedes car (jelas!). Hamilton had a Mercedes Benz GL450 CDI, while Button has a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate 520 DR.

For those whose team is not an automobile manufacturer, riders are more flexible in choosing mounts daily. Mark Webber for example, could have a Renault Megane RS, Porsche 911 Turbo, BMW X5 and Nissan Navara.

Webber's teammate at Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel, has two luxury cars, the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black and BMW 320d. Source: http://www.detiksport.com
