David Guetta + F1 = Dangerous

David Guetta, yes, the renowned French DJ, will be seen driving Lotus's F1 car albeit in his upcoming music video for the song called 'Dangerous' from his sixth studio album. I know, I know; I was also pretty psyched for a moment when I first came across this news. Though the video is yet to be released, the teaser was more than enough to get me interested, extremely interested at that.

What's the video about? Well from what I could see in the teaser, David Guetta is seen going through the usual business involved in a Formula 1 race, only this race involved a considerable amount of scantily clad women in stilettos. Like Formula One wasn't glamorous enough on its own! Anyway, the teaser also included a scene where Guetta is seen engrossed in a seemingly heated discussion/ argument with another guy. That's pretty much all the teaser video let on about the 'Dangerous' storyline.

Now, about the car seen in the video; Guetta is driving Lotus's 2013 F1 car i.e. Lotus E21. The E21 featured a moulded carbon fibre and aluminium honeycomb composite monocoque chassis and was powered by a Renault RS27-2013 engine. Here are the specs of the car:
