Some say Daniel Ricciardo will forever remain the fastest F1 driver on the Top Gear test track and that he beat Lewis Hamilton. All we know is…
F1 drivers once all raced the same car on the same track for fairness, like on the Top Gear test track at Dunsfold. The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment featured celebrities driving Suzuki Lianas, Chevy Lacettis, Kia Cee’ds, and a Vauxhall Astra, while F1 drivers stuck to the Suzuki Liana. Daniel Ricciardo held the fastest lap time of 1:42.2, beating Lewis Hamilton by 0.7s in the era with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May that ended in 2015. In a memorable moment, Michael Schumacher was revealed as The Stig in 2009, with controversy over his lap time in the Suzuki Liana. Schumacher ‘got lost’ and never posted a lap time due to restrictions by Ferrari, leaving his performance a mystery.
