And the former Top Gear host has a soft spot for Alpine due to their base being located close to his farm in Oxfordshire.

He tweeted during the race: “Come on Alpine. I’ll buy you all a pint if you get a podium here.”

And he stuck to his promise and arrived at the Enstone HQ with bottles of beers on the back of his Lamborghini Tractor, as seen on the show Clarkson’s Farm.

The 63-year-old carried crates of alcohol down from his vehicle before having a chat with Ocon.
