Ferrari F1 car turning 19,000 rpm at Laguna Seca

Formula 1 has never raced at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey but F1 cars have taken flying laps in historic races and exhibitions.
Case in point is this Ferrari F1 car tackling the tight track, including the famous Corkscrew. Laguna Seca is too small for F1 cars to really open up at high speed, but this video captures the glorious sound of a normally aspirated F1 engine revving to more than 19,000 rpm and accelerating like no other cars on Earth.
It's hard on novice ears but heaven for any race fan, particularly on the eve of racing season.
