No skipad, no slalom, no braking test, just an acceleration test (on a downhill stretch of tarmac) and a lap time on Ferrari’s own track (so no way to compare it to the P1 and 918). Weak sauce.
Lago’s take-away at the end: Although the test numbers remain murky and Ferrari’s refusal to let customers have third parties test their cars is disappointing, in terms of feedback, accessibility, and excitement, the LaFerrari is the best car I’ve ever driven.
So there’s that.

Since first parties can’t compare I wonder what would happen if an owner of all three were to compare and film it and put it on the Youtubes.
Until then the P1 is the fastest in a straight line and the 918 is the quickest around the ring and everything else is a bit murky.

918 is also the fastest around Laguna Seca. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the P1 is in fact faster around the ‘Ring, but if they won’t tell us, I guess we’ll never know.
Since it sounded like the Top Gear boys had a line on a owner who would help make the comparison test happen, wouldn’t it be awesome if the first episode of whatever show Clarkson, Hammond and May end up starting up would feature that test?!

Won’t happen, BBC owns intellectual right to the episode/footage.
This is why I believe that this is a big conspiracy by Ferrari so that people won't see the LaFerrari get its ass owned.

Are you sure that it’s already been filmed? This says they will show the orphaned episodes this summer:

I'm pretty sure it has been... At least that's what I thought...
