Watch a MotoGP champ try to drive a Mercedes race car and fail

Moto GP champ Nicky Hayden's the fastest Kentuckian on two wheels, but put him in the racing bucket of a four-wheeled Mercedes DTM race car and he's not even the fastest guy named Nicky. Granted, it's a powerful car on a wet track with cold tires, but champs don't get to make excuses.

Also, David Coulthard is there hanging out. Because David Coulthard, like some sort of racing holy spirit, is everywhere at once.
