Button's shock loss on F1 circuit

He may have won six out of seven of this year's Formula 1 races. He may be 26 points clear at the top of the standings in one of the most competitive motorsports in the world. But can Jenson Button win at Scalextric?

Ahead of the British Grand Prix on 21 June, sports presenter Arlo White challenged the British racing driver to a few laps on the only kind of circuit he stood a chance of winning on.

The cars have been made more like their real life counterparts - repainted and remodelled in the same Brawn GP body shop where they paint their real racing cars.
