Ricciardo smashes Top Gear F1 driver lap record.Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo has smashed Formula One\'s driver lap record in the latest episode of Top Gear, outclassing Mercedes\' Lewis Hamilton by seven tenths of a second.
Sydney: Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo has smashed Formula One's driver lap record in the latest episode of Top Gear, outclassing Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton by seven tenths of a second.
Ricciardo, who is the latest in a long line of Formula One drivers to be invited into the show to take part in the 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' challenge, took the show's big-standard Suzuki Liana around the Top Gear Test Track in a stunning 1minutes 42.1 seconds.
Ricciardo was a whopping seven tenths of a second faster than Hamilton's previous benchmark which had stood for two years, the BBC reported.
Ricciardo had to skip out on the final day of Formula One 's first pre-season test last Wednesday, where new teammate Daniil Kvyat was scheduled to drive, to film his lap, the report added.
