WATCH | Boris Johnson isn't just the United Kingdom's Prime Minister; he can also change the tyre on an F1 car blooming fast!

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson is better known for his work in politics but in this video he attempts to change a tyre on a Formula 1 car.

He might not be as fast as the Red Bull pit crew during this year's Brazilian Grand Prix when they changed Max Verstappen's tyres in 1.82-seconds, smashing the world record for the fastest F1 pit stop in the process. But, he isn't half bad at all!

Not exactly record-breaking

With Red Bull pit crew members in attendance at the headquarters in Milton Keynes, blonde-haired Johnson took 16.5-seconds to change the front left tyre, coming nowhere near any sort of record.

Upon this evidence, it is safe to say that he should not pursue a career in motorsport anytime soon. Max Verstappen definitely won't be happy with that during a race.
