– [Dan] I have never been in the paddocks where the cars are, where the racers are. – That's crazy. It's under two seconds. – You can't pay for this. Good morning from downtown Austin! It's Friday of F1 race weekend, and I have some special passes. I'm gonna show you my
experience at an F1 race. What is it like? Let's go see some fast
cars in Austin, Texas and have some fun today. First things first, to our car. – Hello!
– Here we go. And look who I've got with
me, my buddy Anuarbek. He is the mayor of Austin. – Unofficial. Unofficial.
– Unofficial, yeah. And he is partners with
the best realtor in Austin, Matt Holm.
– Matt Holm. – That's right! Have you, wait, last year
you took a helicopter to F1! – We did, we helicoptered. You guys know I'm an engineering nerd, so F1 is like the sport for nerds. – Okay, what does it do
to the city of Austin? – It changes our city completely. (upbeat electronic music) – Check out this parking! We just rolled up.
That is the paddock. You can hear cars going around. There's the racetrack. They're not F1 cars, I don't think. We are here as guest of Ferrari and Bitdefender who sponsors Ferrari. So, I dunno where I'm going. (calm electronic music) – Oh, this way! Thank you! We signed in. It's really loud. This is the Paddock Club. Orange Juice? – Yes sir. – Okay. Well, we got Netflix out here. They are out filming this guy. One of the drivers, working hard. Good job, Netflix. Today we are team Ferrari. This is the Ferrari Club.
They just checked us in. They put a Ferrari sticker on here, and then we get to go and sit down. Like, this is exclusive. You can't pay for this. You have to be a sponsor
to be able to get in here, and luckily we've worked with
a company called Bitdefender for a few times and they
said, "Hey do you want to come and be our guest today with Team Ferrari?" 'Cause they do sponsor Ferrari.
They have like a logo on
their hat and on their shirt. So, I think we get food in here. We just connected to the wifi, and we're gonna look over and
see the races going on today. This is what it's like
in the Paddock Club. You walk out this door. (engines roaring) – All these little carts! Everybody is leaving the pit right now. Like, maybe the Porsche race is over. Look at this, dude. We're so close. We are so close. The Ferraris actually pit stop
right here during the race.
Unfortunately, I'm sad to tell you, I do not have Paddock Club
tickets on Sunday for the race. I just have it for today. But I think today they
have some sort of testing with the F1 cars. They did say that they
have the Ferrari champagne that the Ferrari racers will
drink if they actually win. They have it inside the Paddock Club. I don't drink alcohol, but that's still a cool thing
that they have it there. All right, so all the
drivers are coming in. This is like the red carpet
area where they come in, and we're waiting for the Ferrari guy. Like, we're here with
Ferrari. Let's see him! And there he is. Oh, all right. – [Anuarbek] Team Ferrari!
– [Dan] Let's go team Ferrari! – [Anuarbek] Carlos! Charles! Woo-hoo! – [Dan] Of course, my
buddy Anuarbek gets him to look up and wave, 'cause he is the chief
fun officer of everything. – He was at the party last night, dude! – [Dan] There's my guy
Daniel Ricciardo.
Wow! Today we're Team Ferrari, but I'll always be team Daniel Ricciardo, because he's so nice. Look at him. See, he's spending time with the kids. You got Netflix filming him coming in. So, check it out. These giant semi-trucks are coming, and they're gonna have
us get on the semi-truck to go take a little tour. I'm on the track. I'm
on the actual track now. – 13 stories up into
turn one and at the apex- – [Dan] Look at all the people out there.
Hi people! Enjoy the grass! We're getting passed! – [Tour Guide] We're
approaching the second corner of this beautiful track. It really is a very, very fast section. Very fast turn three. You can see how open and
flowy these corners are. You'd be flat-out seventh
gear through here. When you watch it in person, if you get the chance to come over here, it looks like you're
watching a YouTube video in like times three speed. (spatial electronic music) – They were saying that
there's a few bumps that they noticed over
the last couple of days, and they're actually going
to sand down or grind it down to make it a little
flatter for the F1 cars.
Those guys are full of information. It's like a four mile track. We just took a lap around it. I took a lap! That's so cool! Now we're gonna go to the pits. We're gonna see the cars,
and see what it's like. Like, we're just walking down the pit, and there should be, yeah,
there's tons of people, but we should have a
good view of everything. Oh look the lights. There's the lights. Yeah, I get distracted easily. (upbeat electronic music) – [Anuarbek] That's so cool.
– [Dan] Look at those tires! Going off-roading! – [Anuarbek] Off-roading, yeah! F1 style! – [Dan] So check it out, all
these guys are ready right now to practice doing a pit change. They're gonna push it in. (machines whirring) – [Anuarbek] Ridiculous, dude! – [Dan] That's crazy. (laughs) – It's under two seconds!
– So fast! Hey, you got to practice! Everybody else can go out here. Somehow, because of Bitdefender, they let us get up here close. We've got Mercedes on this side, Ferrari right here, and
Red Bull over there. I mean, the three best, for sure. We are now taking a
tour, an official tour. This is the garage. This
is legit the garage. My goodness. We got some stretching going on. This is the pit crew and
they gotta get their arms and their body ready to go.
You cannot mess up if you're the pit crew. This is really the end. They have a rope, and they walk with it,
and they push us all. This isn't their first rodeo. They've gotta push everybody
out of the area, the pit, all the time, but how cool! We got to go inside of the garage. I'm not sure if our badges
let us come down here, but they let us come in here,
so we're here right now. Look at the Mercedes one. They have like a full-on metal thing. It looks almost like a car. That's legit! Oh, the Mercedes logo
in there! That's cool! And then here we go, Ferrari.
We got the Ferrari set up right here, and then there you go, that's where the drivers
go in, right there. And then, here is team Red Bull. The cool logos going in there. And that's what it looks
like walking into Red Bull. That's where the drivers go, or the ladder guy goes that way. So we just took a picture with this guy that is I think a famous F1 driver, but we don't know who he is. Apologize to all of you,
but I don't know who he is.
That's who we took a picture with. We just walked up and
took a selfie with him. So that's what happens
when we're in the area we're not supposed to be in here. I gotta be honest, I'm
a little bit surprised at the quality of the track here. It is like all cracked
up. It's old asphalt. These cars should have some
better asphalt, I would think. I'm not sure what these cars were doing driving on the track,
but they just got done. I mean, cool cars. Somehow we have to go
this way and follow them.
We'll wait, we'll wait for the cars. Yeah! That green one is so awesome. It's like, what am I doing here? Just definitely don't
belong, but, here we are. All right, now we can go out. We are two minutes away from them actually starting
their practice run, so, I'm excited to see what, to hear what an F1 race
car actually sounds like. And it's really cool that
we're just right above the pit, like, this is where they're
gonna come right out and drive.
I don't think I can film much of the race, or anything at all about the race, just because there's certain regulations and ownership of the
content and all that stuff, but I can film them coming
out of the pit and show 'em. Oh baby! (engine revs) Oh man! There goes Mercedes, first one out. It is a 13 story climb to
go up that hill right there. 13 stories! All right. Team Ferrari. Oh no! (engine revs) Oh baby! Oh baby! Ferrari. (engine revs) Watch how fast they come out of the pit, out of their garage. (engine revs) They're just like, boom,
not messing around. They're all doing a lap. I think they said it's 4.2 miles. It's one of the longer tracks. (race cars roaring) Okay, that sounds good! Wow! (machines whirring) Okay, 10/10 on the food. Unbelievable how good it is.
You can just sit in here and eat and then you can just go walk right there and see the races, see them pit. (machines whirring) The Paddock Club experience. I did talk to somebody
that, they came down here from Seattle, somebody that
recognized me from my videos, and he said that he spent
$8,000 for one ticket and he gets to be in this
Paddock Club every day, even the race day. And so, I could see if
you're gonna come to this, that could be the value. I've also heard, though, that even being in the grandstand
is a phenomenal experience during the race, and
there's tons of food options that you have to buy, but still, one of those moments where I
don't feel like I belong here, but I'm gonna take it in and enjoy it.
Well, that's it for the practice session. Pretty good. They actually had a ranking
for how well they did, and I think it was Max
Verstappen took number one, and then Charles with Ferrari took second, and then Lewis Hamilton took third. So good job! Good job by Team Ferrari! I think we're gonna take off now. Amazing experience. So cool. We've got a guy that works for us. His name's Korey Smith. I feel like he looks just
like Daniel Ricciardo, so what I'd like to do sometime, maybe I'll do it in Vegas,
there's a little sneak peek, I think I'm gonna bring him to Vegas and just have him wear Red Bull stuff or whatever it is that
Daniel Ricciardo's wearing.
Grow the beard out the
same as what he is doing, and just walk around and see
if people think that it's him. That sounds fun. Look at those hats! Wow,
that's the way right there. Coming soon to Netflix. Boom!.
