The Grand Tour’s Hammond and May ‘bump into’ Sebastian Vettel at petrol station after he wins British Grand Prix at Silverstone
Richard Hammond and James May stun motorists at a petrol station with a special appearance from Sebastian Vettel
GRAND Tour presenters Richard Hammond and James May stopped to refuel at a petrol station near Silverstone where they "bumped into" British Grand Prix winner Sebastian Vettel.
Motorists were shocked to stumble across the trio who were filming for the presenters' car website DriveTribe.
While May arrived in a Ferrari 458, Hammond had an old Opel Kadett towed from his Herefordshire home so that he didn't have to endure driving it all the way at its max speed of 45mph.
The former Top Gear hosts were recording a segment to find out which car is best.
Judging from the images, May's 480-horsepower car looks to have unsurprisingly won the challenge.
Vettel, meanwhile, took the time to speak to the crowds that had gathered at the Towcester Shell petrol station.
Meanwhile, The Grand Tour is back for its third season later this year on Amazon Prime, and has been spotted filming in multiple locations including Detroit.
Fellow presenter Jeremy Clarkson has also been caught posing as a traffic warden in London for the upcoming show.
Amazon signed up the trio in 2015 for £130million after the Top Gear team left the BBC.
Season two featured 14 different countries and £11million worth of cars.
