As the title says Lewis will be trying to beat Vettels time, because the last time he did it was in the wet and he set an amazing time. Programme starts at 8:00 on BBC 2. I cant call it if he will beat the time to close to call.
Lewis Hamilton on Top Gear tonight

Of course he will beat it. He'll have lapped until he did - probably a condition of his PR that he could. Cynical, but that's how it works.
Man of Honour
If he does beat it, it'll be the only time sheet he tops this year.
Soldato
Exactly. Which is why it will be so important to do so for a UK audience.
Soldato
Status as the UK's number 1 driving god returned then...! A reputation that will doubtless be 'enhanced' by some jingoism in beating a German.

What will Sunama say now, as he's the only person I have ever seen use the top gear test time as proof Vettel is a god
Was surprised he was over a second faster Vettel must be shocked.
Soldato
Let us be honest, the time test on tg is not at all realistic as a measure for results. That said, in the 'stig' book, he did suggest that Lewis was unbelievably fast whilst being unbelievably casual which would support the time he got. I doubt they let him do thousands of laps, hell, I doubt they needed to, didn't McLaren do significant amounts if testing with the mp412c at the tg track? Would have given him plenty of experience if he did some of the driving for them.
Anyway, shows he is unbelievably quick, whether he's faster than anyone else though can not be judged by the tg race

6 years at McLaren:
"Can I go back to Top Gear?"
"No!"
2 weeks at Mercedes:
"Can I go back to Top Gear?"
"Sure"
(yes I know this isn't what happened, but hoodie wearing sofa sitting Hamilton rather than Rocket Red covered sponsor T Shirt Hamilton is part of the reason he left)

Yeah, he just looks relaxed, knows he isn't going to be quick this year. Could be what he needs. He did make that car dance on tg, was good to watch 
Soldato
Hamilton left for 31 million and five reasons, let's be under no illusions. McLaren played their part too - an unsuccessful car and sponsors who were unhappy with the image of Hamilton compared to the one that first joined F1. He remains a great driver over a lap, a good racer and still has time on his side to prove that he is more than that.
Soldato
Relaxed or not he's an arrogant ****** who if he wound his neck in a bit would be a damned sight better...

Just say how you feel mate, let it all out.
Reliable time keeping or not, 1.1 seconds is pretty impressive.
Give 0.5 seconds to reaction time of the man pressing the "stop" button on the timer and he is still 0.6 seconds ahead.
As others have said, at least he is on the podium for something this year
