Is this the greatest F1 star karting race?

What happens when you put Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Stoffel Vandoorne, Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard on the Spanish driver's home karting track? They battle it out to see who is fastest, of course.

The current McLaren-Honda driver line-up of Alonso, Button and reserve driver Vandoorne partnered up with McLaren legends Hakkinen and Coulthard at Alonso's own purpose-built karting track and museum near his home town Oviedo.

After a couple of practice laps to become familiar with the circuit and the Pirelli-shod karts, the quintet of drivers lined up on the starting grid for a bare and brutal battle - despite some of the older members not having karted for almost 40 years!

Watch the full video to find out who claims the chequered flag with a clever last corner pass, but if you need a hint a certain Spanish driver makes home advantage pay against his rivals.
