Cambridge:
A 16-year-old Malaysian has become the youngest person to drive a Formula One car in an official test session.
Nabil Jeffri took part in a day of straight-line aero testing for Lotus Racing at the Imperial War Museum runway near Cambridge on Wednesday.
Jeffri says that "the first time I went out it was pretty scary. Everyone told me the acceleration would be unbelievable, and the braking would be so much greater than anything I've experienced, and it took a while to get used to that."
Jeffri also took part in pitstop practice with the team.
Team owner Tony Fernandes says that Jeffri "repaid my faith in him and has performed incredibly well."
