Living out many men’s dreams I should imagine, is Riccardo Patrese, who returned to drive a Formula One vehicle after 15 years of a break.

The 54 year old got his chance at the Spanish track in Jerez, where Honda donated an RA107 used in previous championships. Patrese went through five laps, recording a best lap time of 1′30″210, quite a few seconds slower than current lap records.

Patrese says that current Formula One speeds are “incredible”, after sporting a bit of a sore neck given the force of acceleration. Check out our photos below, but try not to get too jealous…
