Formula 1 drivers are not adept at handling all types of vehicles, as demonstrated by Oscar Piastri during a recent visit to TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s farm. The young Australian was challenged to reverse park a tractor with a trailer, a task that proved too difficult for the two-time race winner after ‘forty minutes’ of trying.
On Tuesday, Oscar Piastri shared a video of Jeremy Clarkson, known for his roles in Top Gear and The Grand Tour, on social media. The 64-year-old presenter filmed Piastri as he attempted to park a tractor with a trailer. “He’s been at it for about forty minutes now,” Clarkson joked. “He’ll probably run out of diesel soon.” Kaleb Cooper, known from Clarkson’s latest TV show, Clarkson’s Farm, was also not convinced. “I thought he was a driver,” he added with a laugh.
More footage may be released when the fourth season of Clarkson’s Farm airs. Jeremy Clarkson has been a long-time fan of Formula 1 and recently expressed negative views about seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. “He’s past his prime,” the Brit wrote in his column for The Sun. At the same time, he spoke with awe about Max Verstappen, possibly ‘the greatest driver ever’.
