Anyway, I bet Stewart will do much better than Hamilton. Stewart used to race Indy cars before NASCAR. Don't know if Hamilton's been in cars similar to NASCAR.
It's been done before in 2003 and Jeff Gordon had problems while JPM didn't have any problems with the nascrap car.
JPM threw it around like a toy while Gordon nearly knocked himself out from the G-forces and had to have extra padding installed around his helmet.
The first time gordon his the brakes hard going down the straight he stopped well short of the corner and had top accelerate towards the turn in.
Eventually his times improved to the point where he was only 5 seconds off the typical pace but it was a very steep learning curve.
