6. He drove a Formula One race car
I don’t know about you, but I would be completely terrified to even get in a car like that! However, there are many brave people who love the feeling of adrenaline running in their veins and one of them is Vladimir Putin.
In 2010, he jumped in the driver seat of a Renault Formula One race car and drove around a St. Petersburg track. He wasn’t afraid of the speed at all and he managed to reach up to 150 miles per hour.
During that time, he wanted to make sure that he was safe, so he wore a protective helmet that had an image of Russia’s national symbol on it, the double-headed eagle.
…Would you ever dare to drive a Formula One race car?
