WOW, if Jensons driving your car you better get ceramics, or youre gonna need new brakes every time ha ha ha

Quality footage - looking forward to seeing the next instalment. Not sure I would want my brakes to look like that.

What a horrible site that is!

I've found the link on a somewhat more sane site:

Hmm.. No smoking brakes in that video, maybe it's this one:

I think Mr Button may have found the ring a little more unpredictable than he anticipated if you check out the sequence as he returns from his practice run:

Looks like braking on a trailing throttle causing a bit of unexpected sideways action. Who needs independant rear suspension now then!

What do you mean? That is a camera.

When I first saw it I though it was damaged bodywork. But with a second look I am certain that you are right. It does look like a camera mounted for a ground level shot. I just did not expect them to mount cameras for a practice run and certainly none of the previous shots show it. Sorry for doubting you Mr Button

I'm wondering whether Mr Ross Brawn is some relation to me!

Quite a rare name...I wonder whether he could get me (and the Civinfo forum of course!) some tickets to Silverstone.

Good clip anyway.

The Part 2 video is the best, but pitty about the weather. I hope thety do a hot lap when it's dry to get a proper time recorded.
