by thousands of Hungarian fans when he performed a demonstration run in his McLaren yesterday.</p> <p>Button did doughnuts and hit a top speed of 200kph (125mph) on the roads near the Hungarian Parliament building during the event for one of McLaren’s sponsors.</p> <p>“It was a great pleasure for me to take part in such a huge festival featuring exciting programs in downtown Budapest,” said Button.</p> <p>He drove last year’s MP4-26 at the event.</p> <p>Another driver putting on a display in a recent F1 car was <a title="Michael Schumacher" href="/web/20121017133928/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a>, who entertained fans at the first round of the DTM championship at the Hockenheimring on Sunday.</p> <p>Schumacher did a demonstration run in last year’s W02 at the track which will hold this year’s German Grand Prix.</p> <p>Team mate <a title="Nico Rosberg" href="/web/20121017133928/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/nico-rosberg/">Nico Rosberg</a> drove a Mercedes W196 Streamliner – an example of the last Mercedes to win an F1 race before his victory in the

championship-winning McLaren MP4-23? </p> <p>Regarding the W196, it always looks so… not F1 to me, because of the wheel covers. I like the version without the wheel covers they ran later that year a lot more. It’s not the wings that make a car F1 to me, it’s mainly the fact that it’s supposed to have open wheels.

Gary Paffet is the driver, but the reason he’s so slow is that he was on demonstration tyres (very hard wets I believe) to prevent McLaren from gaining any advantage from running a recent car. I believe they use the MP4-23 a lot because they can use slicks and go much quicker.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121017133928/http://i.imgur.com/RU21w.jpg" rel="nofollow">Here’s</a> a screengrab of a video I shot later to prove it was indeed the MP4-26, by the way. ;-) (You can also see the tyres he was forced to use)</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20121017133928/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/05/02/button-schumacher-rosberg-f1-demo-runs/?replytocom=1000228#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-1000228", "1000228", "respond", "59301")">Reply</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" style="margin-left:10px" class="comment-reply-link wangguard-user-report" rel="2742" title="Report user">Report user</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-cjpdk even depth-2" id="comment-1000264"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121017133928/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/cjpdk/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121017133928im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/62257/6c1fef97ec37ce9135b0a84d0cca518f-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-62257-avatar" width="25" height="25"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121017133928/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/cjpdk/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">cjpdk</a> (@cjpdk) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121017133928/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/05/02/button-schumacher-rosberg-f1-demo-runs/comment-page-1/#comment-1000264"><span class="time-since">2nd May 2012, 21:01</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Back in 1955, they simply didn’t have an open-wheels rule.

These parades brings the action so so close. Button literally did his spins 10 metres away from me. Indeed, there were a lot of people out there. Jenson did his runs, signed autographs and one girl incidentally noted how small he is – despite being of the tallest on the grid lol. I managed to take some magnificently polished close-ups of the MP4-26 as well, they are among my best latest photos. (I am an amateur photographer.)</p> <p>And boy, these V8 sounds good nevertheless – I only heard them live once so far in 2009 at a similar event of Red Bull in Budapest. The V10s of 2005 at the Hungaroring are an even more distant memory.
