Lando was joined for the Saturday evening drive by Portuguese lingerie model partner Margarida Corceiro.

The 21-year-old brunette brushed off the interruption and flashed a smile from the passenger seat after the car fired up again.

A witness told The Sun: “He turned out into the road, the engine started whirring and just shut off, so he had to turn it off.

“He shouted over to a police officer, who asked four or five lads to help him push the car so it could get a running start.

“He was stopped for about five minutes and took the whole thing in his stride.

“Every enthusiast knows that the breakdowns are just part of owning a classic car.

“The guys were happy to help as they were huge fans, got to have a look at the car, and even had a laugh at Lando’s expense.

“They can now say they’ve been part of an F1 pit crew.”
