A rising star’s first day in an F1 car
On a damp and grey day at Silverstone, Luke Browning had the opportunity of a lifetime as he stepped into a Formula 1 car for the first time. After years of hard work and success in the British junior series, winning the 2022 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award propelled him into the Hitech F3 seat and ultimately this F1 test. Browning took it all in stride, surrounded by his family and famous faces in the garage, he familiarized himself with the Grand Prix circuit in a road car before venturing out in the F1 car. Even during the installation laps on wet tires, Browning was amazed by the speed and immediate downforce of the car. He eagerly anticipated pushing the limits in future laps and was particularly excited about tackling the high-speed corners once the track dried up. Browning found the overall experience of driving the F1 car to be incredibly refined and smooth, feeling like he was driving a sportscar on the road. Despite the significant jump in performance from F3 to F1, he took it all in stride and relished this dream opportunity.
