@SnowMidgit Yeah no kidding. You dont get the same vibrations buzzing through your body as it approaches and the chill that runs up your spine as it flies away.
@TheKungFuProductions Well, for a start, Webber races for redbull, and this – as I clearly stated in the video, twice, and in case case you couldn’t tell by the fact their logo and brand was all over the place – was a VODAFONE sponsored event using drivers from VODAFONE sponsored teams. aaahhhDEERP HUR HUR. pillock.

It would’ve been interesting how well he would’ve done compared to a F1 racer. Nice video with some nice footage.

@Croxyndul Gran*
Why Jenson Button? Webber could smash his time easily. Plus I kinda hate Button, he’s full of himself all the time.
Lol @ “I am blunty and i’ll catch you next time. NNEWW!”
button is world champion, webber isn’t, plain and simple
