Max Verstappen is aiming to extend his Formula One championship lead over Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone this weekend - and he seems determined to out-race every other British icon while he's here.
The Red Bull driver from Holland took on a red London bus, a black cab and even the ubiquitous white van in a lap of the famous circuit.
But having left all of them in the dust in his Championship-winning RB7, Verstappen astonishingly then out-paced a 400mph Spitfire.
The World War Two fighter plane swooped over the Northamptonshire circuit, which is set to stage the British Grand Prix, and ended up in a thrilling photo finish with the Red Bull driver.
