Both Hamilton and Whitehall are set to be present at the 02 Arena this evening, with Whitehall presenting the historic F1 event and Hamilton there to unveil the 2025 Ferrari livery.

"Can you park, are you good at the whole shebang or just the fast bit?" Whitehall asked.

Hamilton clapped back with a savage putdown "we know that you can’t drive”, a comment that produced a gasp from the live audience.

"How does a man not have a drivers license?" Hamilton continued jesting.

Whitehall refused to give into the bait and replied with a quick response: "I get picked up by the chicks."
