Jeremy Clarkson's shock Lewis Hamilton verdict as he unveils Clarkson’s Farm addition
Jeremy Clarkson gave a two-word verdict on Lewis Hamilton as he announced an addition to Clarkson's Farm
Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson knew Lewis Hamilton would win the British Grand Prix at Silverstone today - thanks to a new device he fitted on his Chipping Norton farm now made famous by his hit Amazon Prime Video show.
Former Top Gear star and now farming expert Clarkson was in attendance at the British GP today to see three Brits, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris, all start in positions 1-2-3 on the grid.
Rightful eight time world champion Lewis Hamilton ended his 56 race wait for a win in the new engine era, putting Mercedes’ recent struggles with the car behind him as Hamilton swept to victory at Silverstone and took an F1 record for most wins at a single circuit.
And Jeremy Clarkson knew all along it was going to happen.
Speaking to Alpine before the race behind the scenes, Clarkson told them he knew ‘old boy’ Lewis would do well after he installed a weather machine at Diddly Squat Farm, something fans may get to see in the upcoming season 4 of the streaming giant’s hit reality farming show.
Jeremy Clarkson was asked: “You’re a local man. You know the area. You know the weather very well. Expert opinion. What do you think is gonna happen in today’s race?”
Jeremy then replied: “I have just installed at Diddly Squat my own weather station. So I’ve got a personalised weather thing. It’s Danish. Kaleb Cooper’s farm is a mere 15.3 degrees, mine is a balmy 17.4
“So what we do is we hit that and we go into the map, right, so that’s Chipping Norton, the blue dot, we’re gonna have a wet race. So my money is on either Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso because they’re the old boys.
“Old boys do well in the wet.”
