McLaren sponsor SAP have made a series of short videos giving insights into key areas of Formula 1 racing, and this one focuses on the ergonomics of the chassis of the MP4-25 Formula 1 car.
Design engineer Scott Bain is in charge of everything the driver comes into contact with in the cockpit.
Here he shows us the chassis mock up and, as Lewis Hamilton tries it for size, explains how important it is to get the driver extremely comfortable before you build the first real chassis.
F1 drivers spend long hours sitting inside to mock-up chassis, working with the engineers to make sure that everything is perfect.
