Watch Fernando Alonso's Face as He Buries the Brake Pedal in a 2020 Toyota Supra
Watch Fernando Alonso's Face as He Buries the Brake Pedal in a 2020 Toyota Supra-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:11

Racing icon did some hot laps in the 2020 Toyota Supra at Fuji International Speedway for a Toyota video. And while his commentary isn’t particularly interesting, I think there’s some truth in his facial expressions.

I mean, you can’t expect an objective road test of a Toyota on a Toyota YouTube channel from a guy wearing a Toyota suit. And it’s really hard to be articulate while you’re driving a car like this, anyway. But when Alonso sets up to go deep on the brakes, at about, 01:25, it looks to me like his thought process goes from trepidation to being earnestly impressed.

“Hopefully you don’t use [the brakes] as much as that ever,” he says to the camera after aggressively decelerating, “but in case you need it I think they are there.”

You can watch nine other professional drivers you might know do a similar song and dance in Toyota’s . It’s actually a pretty cool idea for a promo, and they are fun to watch.

But besides the braking reaction, I think my favorite part of Alonso’s clip was his advice about car buying at the end: “Follow your instinct.” If a car makes you happy, that’s the one to get.

The thing about rally driving is that sideways is slow; to go fast, you really want to be hooked up, driving forward as much as possible. There are moments, though, when it pays to go full dinosaur drift. You're watching driver John Welch in his turbocharged, 4WD, flame-belching Opel Kadett...
