Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has been accused of trying to kill Gordon Rasmay after he drove the chef round the Las Vegas strip in a Pirelli Hot Lap.

Ramsay was among a whole flock of celebrities that came in their masses to watch and take in the atmosphere of the inaugural race at the Vegas street circuit.

And the 57-year-old – who had become a father for the sixth time just days prior – got a proper taste of the new track as the Mercedes team principal took him for a lap in an AMG.

As they begin to set off, Wolff asks Ramsay: “What’s the fastest you have ever driven on the strip?”

Before Ramsay can get a word in, the Austrian puts his foot to the floor and speeds down the straight, to which the Brit responds: “****! Yeah not this. Oh my god!”
