He made everything look so simple...! 8-)

I was hoping they'd put him around the top gear track though, it'd be good to see how he compared in the reasonably priced car to the other F1 drivers they've had on.

Mika is brilliant! I am so impressed with his driving and his mentality I think that if he ever came back to F1 he'd smoke Lewis! :thumbup:
