Dont forget top gear tomorrow.
Lewis Hamilton is the star in the reasonably priced car.
He is driving the suzuki liana though, isnt it the chevvy lacetti now? i guess it is so he compares to the other pro drivers.
hope he does well, although from what ive heard the stig was suprised how much he didnt know.
Yeah all the F1 drivers have a seperate board dont they... and I guess since they dont get many F1 drivers for continuitys sake they use the Liana.
Wouldnt be suprised if he didnt know much, F1 cars are getting easier and easier to drive :lol:
I wonder why oh why anyone would buy a Chevrolet Lacetti, I saw one in the super market car park the other day and couldnt see the attraction.

Cheap, and has a brilliant Service and Warranty package. Just the thing for an old fart who wants a cheap new car.
Daewoo Nexia was where it was at ;)
Same car ;) Its an Astra under all that bland bodywork
Lewis Hamilton is the most boring man Ive ever heard speak. I listened to an interview of him on the radio, and within 5 minutes I wouldnt have blamed the interviewer for shooting lewis in the head.
He seems thankless, ungrateful, and generally just a twat from what I heard. Makes formula 1 seem as exciting as making toast.

i dont know where you got that from. everytime ive seen him interviewed h has been alright, not amazing but he is only young and he seems more than gratefull to be in the position he is in.
much better than the mono-tone tosser that is kimi raik.
anyway, more on his lap tonight.
QuoteNone of the celebrities or professional drivers featured as guests has managed to beat The Stig, who never speaks and hides his identity under his crash helmet.
He is billed as a "tame racing driver" by the show and speculation about his identity has centred on former F1 drivers such as Damon Hill and Julian Bailey.
But Hamilton has a good excuse for not beating him - the track was wet from a rainstorm and another car had leaked oil on it earlier that day.
The conditions made it almost impossible to overwhelm The Stigs record time of 1min 44.4sec - but Lewis only narrowly missed out.
The previous closest challenger was Nigel Mansell with 1min 44.6sec.
The BBC refused to reveal Hamiltons time before the show goes out at 8pm tonight but speculation was rife that he now holds second place.
All presenter Jeremy Clarkson would says was that Hamilton had been "very, very fast".
Top Gears Andy Wilman, who was involved in editing the programme, said: "I still keep replaying Lewiss second-to-last corner because Ive never seen a piece of driving quite like it.
"The world is governed by the rules of physics but he just seems to have his own set."
Despite his efforts, Hamilton remained unhappy with his performance. Wilman said: "He asked if he could come back and set a dry time.
"You could tell he meant it because he was saying how if the appointed day was wet, the deal was he could cancel but if it was dry, hed be there."
spoiler tags ffs :|
Innit.
GL420! what a mupet
His lap was damn fast and while he asked to come back he didnt seem that unhappy about it. TBH given the conditions he looked rather pleased.
Im wondering what sort of time the self drive BMW set.
yeah great lap, hell demolish it in the dry.
yeah, i wanted to see what time the BMW posted to see how it compared to the Stig
you forget f1 drivers, fighter pilots, test drivers all have very crazy jobs. they often are the most boring people in the world because they concentrate on the little details and keep their heads calm while doing so, whereas you or i would get overwhelmed.
