Ian Poulter takes on Williams F1 driver Lance Stroll - but who can chip it closer to the brake marker board? Actually who can keep it within the circuit?

Ian Poulter is used to dealing with drivers on the golf course, but taking on an F1 driver at Silverstone was a new experience for the Ryder Cup legend.

Poulter was a special guest at the Sky Sports F1 Show broadcast live from the historic race track, where world champion Lewis Hamilton and most of this season's drivers met and entertained the fans along the home straight.

After Nico Hulkenberg won the "kick a bull" challenge to provide some footballing cheer for Germany, Poulter faced off against Williams ace Lance Stroll in a golfing head-to-head.

Rather than the traditional nearest-the-pin challenge, Poulter and Stroll were aiming to get nearest the braking board on the approach to Abbey - turn one at Silverstone.
