It's not about straight line, what differentiates the F1 car is its ability to take a bend at 150 mph.

[nosesmasher]

thats it, I'm convinced now. I'll buy myself an F1 car, the AMG is not fast enough for me.

[Tactics]

That must be terrifying hearing that monster coming behind them

[chrisfloyd]

Red Bull is a great ambassador for F1. They do some amazing things with their cars

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The race actually starts
At 5:42

The difference between the C63 and the V8 Supercar is smaller than the difference between the F1 car and the V8. F1 is just on a whole other level of engineering.

Wow! Hats off to whoever calculated the timing of the car starts to get an ending like that!

[mlgswagbois]

I'm still convinced Australia is a Florida-Texas-England hybrid.

[pillwolak]

This was one of the sickest things that's ever been seen in Australian motorsport. Nothing will ever beat this

[mikefranklin]

If they did this in the USA and replaced the V8 Supercar with a NASCAR, the NASCAR would probable have to leave the start line before the C63.

Having heard and felt the Redbull RB7 first hand at Silverstone i can safely say the experience was like trying to be torn in half by raw a soundwave as it passes, it's truly sad that these engines are no longer in F1 as it's a truly awesome sound !

[lopes]

it's like Mercedes, Toro Rosso and Williams racing this year (2019)

[vahek.]

“race” car vs RACE car vs THE RACE CAR

[andrewflower]

the speed that RB7 carried through the final corners was incredible... love F1 so much...

[DGFishRfine]

As soon as I saw the F1 car enter the final straightaway, I knew exactly what was going to happen

[jamaljackson]

The sound of Formula 1 car engines always gives me goosebumps... it is the most beautiful engine sound on earth!

The result is hardly surprising, but it's nice to see it demonstrated so dramatically.

4:41 everyone chilling
That one guy: *this is loud*

[NxDoyle]

Here's a comparison for you. As far as I'm aware, a the V8 Supercar track record around Australia's legendary Mount Panorama circuit in Bathurst is somewhere around the 2.04 mark. But in 2011 Jenson Button went for a tool around the mountain, quite gently, and did it in 1.48.

It's also worth noting that the Vettel's pole time in 2011 in the RB7 was 2.5 seconds slower than Lewis Hamilton's pole time in the Mercedes in 2018. 1.21.5

Imagine being in the AMG or the V8 and hearing the high pitched F1 getting louder and louder and knowing full well there’s nothing you can do…talk about a feeling of helplessness.
