Default WANT - F1 Racing Video

There was a video that was posted of a F1 car racing a minivan and another Mercedes sedan. I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link? I have searched everything and can't locate it

Yes, I saw this video on the SpeedVision channel of McLaren Mercedes F1 driver David Coulthart sipping tea on the track while a Mercedes Minivan took off down the track with a very big head start driving as fast as it could. It was followed some time later by an AMG Mercedes sedan also tearing down the track as fast as it could go while Coulthart continued to calmly sip his tea. Eventually Coulthart finished his tea and then casually hopped into his F1 car and proceeded to pass the other two vehicles before either one of them could complete their first lap!

This was an incredible demonstration of an F1 car's speed!!!

I've never seen a video before which was able to relate to the viewer so well just how fast an F1 car is by comparing its track performance to a "regular" street vehicle (the Mercedes Minivan) and a "fast" street vehicle (the AMG Mercedes) by blowing them both away like they were standing still.

Fantastic!

I'd love to get a copy of this on video!!!
