Martin Brundle channeled his inner Mike Hawthorn this week at Silverstone, complete with an elegant bow tie, when he sampled the great British driver's championship-winning Ferrari Dino 246.

The Sky Sports F1 pundit and Grand Prix veteran looked quite part both on and off the track as he put 1958 F1 World Champion's prancing horse, and absolutely stunning machine owned by Tony Best, through its paces.

It was Brundle's 50th test ride in an F1 car, and fans will be treated to the marvelous sequence in an upcoming airing on Sky.
