On his “Impaulsive” channel, one of his videos shows him discussing F1 with his guests. In the video, Logan said, “I was watching these kids compete [in F1] and f**king Lewis Hamilton was leading the pack for most of the race. He didn’t end up coming first, but this guy has been dominating the sport for so long. He’s the GOAT of F1.”

“The competitive side of me started looking at these guys… I wouldn’t mind driving fast, going around turns. I was watching Lewis and I was thinking ‘He’s good, he drives pretty fast’ but… (laughs),” said Paul.

After hearing Logan’s thoughts, his guests end up making fun of him.

Logan Paul may have cracked the code for being a successful YouTuber, but can he beat a 7-time World Champion at his own game? Although the discussion ended with laughter, it seemed he might have underestimated the time, effort, and dedication required to be the best in F1.
