Hamilton to appear on 'Top Gear'
ormula 1 star Lewis Hamilton is to appear on BBC Two motoring show Top Gear.
The 22-year-old will take a spin on the programme's test track for the 'Star In A Reasonably Priced Car' segment.
Hamilton revealed that he had been a long-time fan of the show when he presented host Jeremy Clarkson with a Special Recognition Award at Wednesday's National TV Awards. He told the crowd: "Growing up, Top Gear was always one of my favourite shows. I share the same passions as Jeremy - fast cars, their speed and grace. He always makes me laugh.”
Clarkson responded: "We're looking forward to having you down [on the show] in a couple of weeks even though your boss said you can't drive anything that's not a Mercedes. We'll sort it out."
Hamilton will also appear as a guest on the last series of Michael Parkinson's chat show.
