Do you have a torch in your boot?
That car was not refueled. Some races ban mid race refueling but here is a video of several types of racing pit stops. http://sploid.gizmodo.com/video-compares-pit-stops-in-f1-racing-nascar-indy-car-1713229094
Amazon’s Grand Tour had a segment on the difference in words..boot..bonnet..etc.
I am not a car person but I really enjoy the show. Never had seen Top Gear.
The money Amazon is spending on this show is incredible. They have shots that are worthy of Top Movies.
No refueling in F1 currently.
Here’s why:

The cars were refueled with high pressure via a specially adapted helicopter connector/rig.
Fill-ups were extremely fast < 3 seconds.
There is a thought that they may return for 2020. One can hope.
BTW, Felipe Massa lost enough places in this screw-up to spoil his world championship title by one point.

The water fall stunt at the end of the show is amazing in HD
Or by running the knife edge along the bottom rim of a coffee cup. A trick I have been using for years.
Don’t see a tank fuel in that GIF, just rubber exchange.
The old Top Gear shows are excellent. Look for them on BBC.
There was one episode that they drove several very high dollar cars down into Monte Carlo (Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo, and a $400,000 Lamborghini) to see if their car would be left in front of the Motel overnight.
They decided that no matter WHAT car they gave the valets the car would still be gone expecting a ‘even better’ car would arrive - so they drove a Ford Model T to the hotel.
There was footage of multiple valets trying to figure out how to start the car...it was left out in a prominent spot overnight.
Fun stuff!
Tyre is a correct spelling.
If you want to properly seduce a proper woman, you will.

Strop a blade with a piece of cardboard.
I never tyre of the grammar police.
They are really jabbing Top Gear. Since I haven’t seen it I don’t get the references. I have to look them up to see what they did in the episode.
Amazon doesn’t let them say certain things..because of the legal threats from BBC
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1667896/bbc-ban-james-may-from-saying-cock-on-new-amazon-show-the-grand-tour/
So they get around it by saying things like
“For legal reasons, this scenery is sh*t”.
Hammond really ribbed the controversial Matt Leblanc donut incident at the Centograph when he drove by it. Something like slowing down and saying Show Some Respect.
“The Matt LeBlanc Donut Incident” sounds like a great name for a band.
