    It truly is the greatest driving experience on Earth. On Tuesday I drove a 2011 Williams FW33 for 4 laps around Magny-Cours. I was worried it would take the edge off the magic. It had the opposite effect! Greatest machines on Earth! How any human can drive one flat out is beyond me. How they do it with 19 others around them is incomprehensible!
