They pull up beside a supercar in Milan, and it’s an F1 driver: reaction goes viral – VIDEO. The surprise of passing an F1 driver, an exaggerated reaction.

An F1 driver was spotted driving a supercar toward Milan, and the reaction of fans has gone viral. Yuki Tsunoda, the young Japanese F1 driver, was recently seen behind the wheel of a KTM X-Bow GT-XR Full Carbon, catching the attention of two car enthusiasts. The video, filmed by the two vehicle engineering students from Modena, shows the powerful supercar speeding down the highway toward Milan.

The all-carbon-fiber design and impressive performance of the KTM X-Bow GT-XR did not go unnoticed, and the young men were thrilled by the encounter, guessing that the car might be headed to EICMA, the international motorcycle event held in Milan over the past weekend.

In the video, which quickly went viral on social media, you can see the young men’s surprise at spotting a limited-edition supercar on the roads around Milan. The sound of the engine and the car’s aerodynamic frame immediately caught the attention of the two fans, who, as engineering students, couldn’t resist recording a video to admire the car’s technical features.

As they passed the vehicle, one of the young men realized they were alongside a Formula 1 driver.

“It’s Tsunoda… it’s Tsunoda,” exclaimed one of the young men. However, the Japanese Racing Bulls driver continued driving without noticing the students filming him, seemingly unaware of their reaction.
