Underated driver in my view.

And the enjoyment for the car is quite clear. And she gave a good honest account for herself from what I could make out- as a standard car on old tyres.

Si?

Anyhow- if your easily bored- from 2.50 on:

One cannot dispute the taste of Rubens smile

Interesting to see the rankings near the end - faintly depressing to see the 1.0 ecoboost Fiesta got around quicker... but that's twenty-five years of development for you.

I do miss Rubens, he was one of the real nice guys in F1.
As for that ecoboost fiesta, my father has one and it absolutely flys.
I refused to believe him at first when he told me it was only 1000cc.
Speaking to a customer of mine recently who builds wiring looms for kit cars, he told me that a lot of the 7 style kits are now using them as they can be tuned to over 250bhp and are the size and weight of a motorcycle engine.
I fear we'll never see a great naturally aspirated engine again.
