2013 BRDC Autosport Award winner Matt Parry has finally come to his own. Namely, Parry passed the test of the McLaren MP4-26 car, with which Jenson Button won the Canadian Grand Prix in 2011. Matt came to the award after winning the title in the Renault Northern European Cup formula. Parry has already tested a Renault 3.5 and Formula 3 car, but as he says, nothing else can be compared to Formula One: “This is really a phenomenon, I can't find another word.

It's hard to describe how fast the car is. I’ve never driven anything so fast before. Every gear has full power, that’s really amazing speed. I wasn’t scared, but I was a little nervous, but later I just enjoyed the ride. I drove all the laps I had at my disposal and I believe I did a good job, and above all I returned the car in one piece! ”

Otherwise, Parry had to wait a little longer for the test, as McLarn had problems with telemetry and the radio station. McLaren team manager Indy Lall said after the 20-year-old's test that he was quite positively impressed: “He did a great job. Even though the telemetry didn't work - we wanted it to be safe, it didn't give up. He just drove away and that’s good. He did exactly what we wanted him to do, and after that he was very pleased. He picked up a lot from this test and helped us a lot. "
