Caption Competition
McLaren reserve driver Gary Paffett explains the finer points of handling a DTM Mercedes C-Class to Jenson Button.
The pair are pictured at Brands Hatch, where Paffett scored his second win from the first three races, giving him a 25-point lead in the championship from BMW’s Bruno Spengler.
Like Paffett, Button won the first round of his championship this year. But he has slipped back to seventh in the F1 points table.
