If Hamilton beats the Stig then the Stig is finished and it will ruin Top Gear. Although, with a member rumoured to be leaving at the end of the series, it may be already be finished. Anyway, the Stig to remain as number 1.

Hah! The Stig will eat Hamilton for dinner!

But I agree, it will probably be close but Stig has familiarity with the track unless Lewis has some pratice laps, which I hope he does.

The Stig will win though. They should blatantly have a F1 race as well, Hamilton might win but I think that The Stig is a decent F1 driver himself.

Was rather impressive, the track was not as wet as it was for Webber, but none the less it was a great lap!

Is the car the same one all the drivers list in the F1 category?

the difference is all the other times from other F1 drivers did this in the less powerful previous reasonably priced car, so not exactly a fair test

Thought the experience of Richard Hammond in the different Racing Cars was quite informative. No time to think, just do! In the test today, Lewis did look Very relaxed!

obviously some people don't know their reasonably priced cars(e) from their elbows!

to quote form the TG website on the car used
"The McLaren star joins Jeremy in the TG studio to discuss his first season in Formula One and, more importantly, straps himself into our old Suzuki Liana to see how he measures up against Mansell, Hill and the rest of the F1 drivers who have taken to our test track."

nice job LH! I'd like to see him do a lap in the dry though now please!
