I'm expecting faster - surely Sergio is a better driver than Ron, right? 
I expect it to be about 5-6 seconds faster than the 12C.
I also expect that McLaren will leave us wanting for a time with this video. Save that glory for its moment on Top Gear - you watch.

I was right about the time though - in fact in most instances it appeared he wasn't even in Track mode.
I am surprised they neglected to show off the IPAS or DRS functions.

Though I'm pretty sure that the Aventador or the 458 would be faster than the F1.

So does the electric motor, or hybrid portion of the powertrain, kick-in only when you press the button on the steering wheel; or does it activate when you press past a certian point with the throttle?
