And he's said he'll go back and try again when it's dry. I can't understand how he went so quick round that track in that car while being so bloody relaxed! Class  :y

That was some lap and he made it look so easy. How many thousands of laps has the Stig done!

Lewis will be remembered in the truly greats hall of fame. Senna, Schumacher M, Stewart J, Villeneuve G, Peterson R, Clark J.   Mansell despite being British and a true fighter didn't quite make it for me. Neither did Prost.

Hi, Why is it that everybody thinks that Mansell was a great driver  ;D, he wasn't, it was more the car (Williams) than him, as he was not good at McLaren. Lewis on the other hand is a Great Driver  :y he will follow in the foot steps of the Greatest Driver of them all "Michael Schumacher" and before anybody says it was Michael's Ferrari, he won his first two titles at Benetton 94 & 95, which was not the best car to have at the time.  8-)
Michael Schumacher could drive, no doubt about it but what a self obsessed prick. A few seasons ago he had to be told not to dance about & take the p*** out of the 2nd & 3rd place men's National Anthems, whilst standing still for his own. I respect his talents on the track but he's arrogant & disrespectful which is why, as a person many people got sick of him. Top driver though to be fair.
   Hamilton? He's a breath of fresh air but we'll have to see how he gets on, he's still young.  ::)

Hey, did he do well, 0.3 of a sec behind the Stig and on a wet and oily track  :y

 :y

Indeed yes!! Quite a stunning drive from young Lewis and he didn't even look like he was trying. :y :y I'm sure he'd top the leader board by some margin on a dry track.

Just a bit of info to clear up the confusion about the "reasonably priced car" they use on the show, it is the Chrysler for the normal celebs that come on the show but any F1 drivers always have to use the Suzuki.

.........oh yes, just to add my tuppence worth, Mansell was indeed a great driver. He may not have equalled the likes of Schumi in terms of race wins during his career but he was up against a lot better drivers such as Piquet, Prost and Senna. What REAL competition was Schumi ever up against? ::) Not to say that Schumi isn't a great driver.......he is, but of a slightly different era. ;)

If he was driving the Daiwoo that would explain the differences.

Hamilton was using the same car that the Stig, and all the F1 drivers in the past, used.
