First published June 29th 2014.
We had of an inkling from previous form that the life of Lewis Hamilton’s rear Pirelli P-Zeros would be measured in minutes. We were right.
...
Lewis is a firm FOS favourite, and he didn’t disappoint us with his performance. After a quick chat with Jennie Gow he was off up the Hill in full crowd-pleasing mode in the Mercedes-Benz FW03 – only to be offered some tips on even better donuts by stunt driver Terry Grant on arrival at the summit. But we reckon he’s got it nailed, wouldn’t you say?
