Video: Jenson Button takes on FOS in McLaren MP4-12C

So, the finesse with which he pilots a McLaren MP4-12C up the Goodwood hillclimb is hardly surprising. But nonetheless, we can’t help but watch in awe as the first true McLaren production car cuts a fine line up the Duke of Richmond’s famous driveway.

Accompanied by the man responsible for the MP4-12C's development and former McLaren test driver, Chris Goodwin, Button takes the burnt orange car for a smooth jaunt up the haybale-lined hillclimb, its 600PS twin-turbo V8 engine purring in accord as he shifts seamlessly through the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
