Did anyone know if he did beat Vettel's time??

Looks like it might be a 1.43.* for the top time? Maybe point 5? Vettel's time was 1.44.0.

1:43.9

IF true Lewis time was a 1.42.9
but I can't say if this is really true or someone told nonsense

I reckon it's a 1:43.8.

Vettel's time was 1:44.
Hamilton's old time was 1:44.7 in the wet (and reportedly oily), so not surprising he'd top Vettel in the dry...

Sacked Stig (Ben Collins) said the track being wet added 3-4 seconds to a lap (presuming he meant for the average driver since F1 drivers are more used to driving in the rain). His dry lap was formerly the third fastest dry lap (after Barichello) at 1:44.3.

Oopsie. Done editing the title.

Did Rubens still hold the record or was that beat?

That's defo a 1.43.9 to me.

Im revising my guess to "I have no idea" as even Seb's 1 44 0 looks like 1 46 something Clarkson has the most inconsistent hand writing in the world - every entry on all three lap time boards looks written by someone different.

May there be accusations of corner cutting again?

Where's Johnston when you need him

I bet he's gonna say he already cut some corners before he's even watched the lap!

EDIT: Johnston is above my initial post looooool

Same here. Then if I read anything good happened I keep meaning to watch it on the iPlayer but never get round to it

and James Nice try. But unlike some I wait until I have something to back up what I say

Rumour has it that Lewis has beaten vettel by 1.1 seconds.

I thought this was a discussion about Spoilers on Top Gear. Now it's been ruined for me.

Yes it was

Cheers mate.

If Hamilton has done his lap in a 1.42.9 thats fucking fast.

Insane that he was that fast, guess this will silence the doubters. Best driver on the grid.

Cant wait for Top Gear this weekend.

I am pretty sure that was a joke

1 Sebastian Vettel - Red Bull – 281
2 Fernando Alonso - Ferrari – 278
3 Kimi Raikkonen - Lotus – 207
4 Lewis Hamilton - McLaren – 190 <---- Best driver on the grid...
5 Jenson Button - McLaren - 188

I know it's a Hamilton post but you don't have to remind us you don't like him every time!
Chill viariani. You'll live longer

OT: If that's 1.42:9, that's a great time. I do wonder how many drivers take it as seriously, and there are also going to be variations in how the car's setup each time. All a bit of fun really.

I'd love to have a crack at that track...

Just pointing out the fallacies in the "best driver on the grid" argument. Pesky real World facts eh, they just won't go away

Well i guess it was nice for him to drive something that didn't break down

That besides if 1.1 seconds was the gap then that would suggest variable conditions perhaps, when was it actually filmed?

Edit: Change favourable for variable, that doesn't read right

Yes, the reliability was suprising, perhaps he's learned from 2012 not to be so hard on the car
