How good does that sound!! It looks so smooth, jenson did a fantastic job, and so did Craig. Interesting Craig was a second slower, but when they swapped cars, jenson was 6 seconds slower than Craig in the V8.

Thanks for posting.
He seems to miss lots of apexes especially early in the lap. It would be good to see what he could do with more knowledge and experience. Maybe a couple or few seconds faster? Maybe more???
Amazing vehicles F1. How quick would they be if there were no rules to limit their abilities?

Ran out of legs half way down conrod
Button also says in an interview somewhere that with the correct set up he could have it flat out across the top
Thanks for posting Rory

when we do the mountain straight hillclimb from the winery to the phillamy gates it takes the fast cars around the same time to do what he did from the bottom to the gates.hard to get your head around.i reckon he could get it down to at least 1.40 or less easily with the right gearing and more practice .with everything happening so fast their concentration level would be getting into the body autopilot zone where you just run on instinct and adrenaline.i wouldnt even be game to try it.
