Let’s get this out of the way straight from the off - Lewis Hamilton’s lap on Top Gear last night was simply stunning.  I had an inkling that he would do pretty well, but to almost match The Stig’s dry time when he was running on a wet track was superb.

I’m not a massive Hamilton fan, but credit where credit’s due.

What I’m not so keen on is their eagerness at getting him back to do a dry lap next summer.  Isn’t the whole point of the challenge that each person only gets one timed run?  I’m sure that Jenson Button, Mark Webber, etc could eventually beat their current times if allowed more laps.
