Vietoris excited for BMW F1 test

Christian Vietoris will get a chance to show what he can do in an F1 car when he drive at Valencia as part of his prize for winning the 2006 BMW World Final. He will drive the BMW F1 car at this year's BMW World Final.

"Everyone tells me the that the brakes are extremely powerful and the g-forces," said 18-year-old Vietoris. "I try to imagine the circuit much faster than I've actually experienced it so far. This way I can at least prepare as much as possible."
