It’s the eye of the driver

Lucas di Grassi

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

We’re sure that’s what Lucas di Grassi was singing to himself when he completed this installation lap with a camera mounted over one of his eyes.

His discomfort was our gain, for he gave us a view very few of us will ever get to experience—a driver’s eye view from the seat of a Formula 1 car.

Talking about his uniquely documented installation lap at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, di Grassi said, “I had to drive with only one eye open as the camera was blocking my other eye, quite tricky.”

See for yourself by watching the clip after the break.
