We've all been there. Usually it's at a track day while other times its a windy mountain road. No matter the setting we're all undoubtedly familiar with those situations where your passenger gets a little queasy when you're busy twirling the tiller.

Girlfriends and best friends are the usual victims, but ex-F1 champ Damon Hill found a British journalist to be the first to succumb to his rather spirited driving.

While being shown the virtues  of an SL55 AMG, the scribe's stomach took umbrage at Hill's aggressive techniques and decided to void itself of its contents, which thankfully were directed out of the window and onto the track. Happily for us, the event was captured by an in-car camera:
