McLaren’s Jenson Button & Lewis Hamilton get animated

McLaren has teamed up with Framestore to produce a series of animated – and amusing – cartoons showing on Sky F1.

Somehow, despite having the British Grand Prix in one window and the Andy Murray match at Wimbledon in another on Sunday, we managed to miss this cartoon featuring McLaren, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button on Sky F1.

It seems Sky F1 will be featuring a new cartoon from McLaren at every Grand Prix for the rest of the season, and if they are up to this standard they’ll be well worth looking forward to.

We have Jenson & Lewis with McLaren’s very own ‘Professor M’ (voiced by Alexander Armstrong) on a test day at the McLaren underground test track at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking.

We see the McLaren boys competing over testing the only available car, a few asides from the public tour (a Nigel Mansell moustache being one of the exhibits), testing of a rocket launcher for future seasons and a very bouncy tyre undergoing testing.

It’s all good fun, well made and actually quite amusing. The video isn’t on either McLaren or Sky’s YouTube channels so it could be taken down; but for now – enjoy.
