MP4-12C - Prototype drive with Jenson Button
McLaren is a carbon pioneer. On March 5, 1981 McLaren Racing introduced the carbon monocoque to Formula 1 in the McLaren MP4/1: it offered an unbeatable combination of strength and lightness. It had an immediate dynamic impact, with John Watson winning the 1981 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. It also proved an effective safety cell, with Watson walking away from a dramatic high-speed crash at Monza later that season. Within a few years, every other Formula 1 team on the grid had followed suit, and McLaren's place as carbon innovators was sealed. On March 4, 2011, John Watson will be re-united with the MP4/1 at Silverstone as he gets the opportunity to drive the McLaren MP4-12C, the latest carbon-based road car from McLaren and the first to feature an innovative one-piece, hollow carbon chassis structure: the MonoCell. www.carnutheaven.com

F1 2010 - Abu Dhabi Time Trial
Running the McLaren MP4-25 at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, UAE. One lap in time trial, all assists off, not the quickest lap I've ever run here but I think it's pretty good considering the fact that Fraps cut my frame rate in half. Using a Logitech Momo Force Feedback Wheel. Manual Shifting w/ paddles.
