Viewers in disbelief over F1 questions that ITV game show contestant got wrong

Viewers in disbelief over F1 questions that ITV game show contestant got wrong

ITV's 'The Floor' game show featured a Formula 1 round - which went better for one contestant than the other.

Viewers of new ITV game show 'The Flood' were left stunned at a contestant's wrong answers during a Formula 1 round.

The show, which is hosted by Rob Brydon, sees 81 contestants battle to take home a guaranteed jackpot of £50,000.

Each contestant stands on a square of a virtual floor, and have their own areas of expertise to start from, ranging from video games to sport and world music.

The show starts by selecting a contestant at random, who then must challenge another contestant on the floor and beat them in their own category to earn additional space on the floor.

At the end of each show, eight players are eliminated, with the player who occupies the most space earning a £5,000 bonus.

When it comes to the head-to-head battles, each player takes it in turns to identify the image on the screen over a time limit of 45 seconds.

While a contestant is attempting to identify the image, their timer runs down, with the timer pausing when they get a question right and pass on to the other contestant.

If they get an answer wrong, however, they lose three seconds from their time, and must identify the next image.

Once a contestant's timer expires, they lose the game.

In the final round, which was broadcast on March 8, only three players remained when Formula 1 was the subject in a head-to-head battle.

George had eased his way into the final three with a series of victories - but F1 proved to be too much for him to reach the final.

His opponent, Stephen, told the camera that he 'watched every practice and qualifying' and 'knew all the drivers' - and so it proved.

He correctly identified four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel in the first image, before handing over to George to identify Max Verstappen.

But George paused, and guessed at both Lando Norris and Jenson Button before having to pass.

He did correctly guess Lewis Hamilton, but couldn't identify Ayrton Senna.

Button did appear as the next image, but the contestant had lost significant time and, by the time it was passed back over to him, he began to simply guess Damon Hill each time in the hope that James Hunt, Nigel Mansell, Mika Hakkinen or David Coulthard would be the 1996 champion.

He shook Stephen's hand and said: "Well done, mate. Well done."

Rather than just the wrong answers, viewers were left in hysterics on Instagram over the contestant's Damon Hill strategy.

One viewer joked: "How many Damon Hill's has this man seen?"

A second wrote: "'They'll show Damon eventually' strategy."

A third asked: "Does he actually know what Damon Hill looks like?"

A fourth said: "Was waiting for Damon Hill to actually pop up."

The player himself took the video and responses in good spirit, writing: "May not know my F1, but I looked spectacular."
