Lewis has mad skillz, according to Top Gear’s test driver

In an interview with Simon Mayo on Radio Five Live, Top Gear presenter James May revealed what The Stig really thinks of Lewis Hamilton. Captain Slow said:

“The Stig said – in Stig language, which only a few people can understand – that he (Lewis) was phenomenally good at driving even an old snot-box like our reasonably-priced car, and he was only 22 then.”

May also said that he was surprised at just how good Hamilton was on the Top Gear track:

“Lewis Hamilton is the fastest person ever around our track. He was brilliant though, which is quite re-assuring, because there’s always a little bit of you that thinks ‘well is it really the driver or is it the car or is it the size of the tool kit or the size of the budget or something?’ but no, he was good.”
