Jeremy Clarkson shows up at F1 team's factory in tractor as Grand Tour star fulfils promise

Jeremy Clarkson stayed true to his word with a bizarre visit to the Alpine F1 headquarters on Monday.

The 63-year-old Top Gear and The Grand Tour presenter is an avid fan of the sport, and revealed this year that he backs Alpine as they are his 'local' team. The 63-year-old lives in Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, near to where the British team is based.
