Definately watching it this week then

Thanks for the heads up.. And yes, Hamilton will get the best time but to be fair, all the other F1 drivers are old and have worse reaction times to when they were actually racing so I should expect Hamilton to win being in his prime.

He won't have the fastest time as it was a wet track, and there was also an oil spillage earlier that day form a VXR that Clarkson had been testing.

I think that is a bit unfair to put their age against them. Even if they do have a bit of a slowdown in their reactions their previous experience will make up for that. I know some drivers who would appear really ancient to you but who can still pedal a car round a track in times that would amaze you. Anyone who has been an F1 driver is going to be well above average in his driving abilities.

Having said all that, I still back Hamilton to win because of his sheer natural driving ability without any kind of a fix either!

He probably choked when he got to Gambon and went off.

Well if he does come top, I may suspect that the Liana may have had some influence from a certain prancing horse!

Nope it's Suzuki, they're kept it just for the F1 drivers.

The name of The Stig is in the HSE report on Hammonds accident

There's a reason why LH drives for one of the top teams in F1 and The Stig has to make ends meet as an extra on a comedy show

Many drivers have been the stig; usually the factory test drivers for the exotica they're testing on the day- hence the concealed identity.

May and hamster are great, but not sure they can carry it without the big guy- regardless of what you think about him.
