Today the new McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 was launched to the press and sponsors at Vodafone HQ, Newbury. For once it was actually the real car that turned up, and the one Lewis will be testing next week. As a result, mere mortals weren't allowed to get that close to it due to the spectators...

Guys, I'm not one for racing but since the weather has been relatively dry and I've only had my Cupra 1.5 months, I thought I'd take the opportunity to put my foot down to enjoy the acceleration. Usually I wait until i'm in second gear until I put my foot down, but obviousy wantin to feel...
