Most awkward Brits moment? Lewis Hamilton leaves world cringing as he presents award with Ellie Goulding






The F1 ace attempted to get the crowd on their feet - but instead was met with silence, and we're still cringing now

Lewis Hamilton made the world cringe tonight as he presented the award for Best International Female Solo Artist with Ellie Goulding - by asking the crowd to shout louder.

Which - well, they didn't.
The F1 ace was all smiles as he stepped out alongside a stunning Ellie, smiling from ear to ear proving he's not letting his recent split from Nicole Scherzinger get him down.
The pair were chosen after Ant and Dec pulled out bingo balls with their names on.

But it was possibly the worst presentation yet. Like, ever.
Viewers didn't appreciate Lewis efforts, and one wrote on Twitter: "You could almost feel the awkwardness when ellie and Lewis Hamilton were presenting that award."
While another added: "Ellie goulding/lewis hamilton combo was the most awkward thing evs."

The whole thing was very stunted, but we'll let you decide what you made of it - watch the video and let us know.
Not content with being Formula 1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton really is keen to turn his talented hand to music.
The aspiring rapper, who says he has recorded about 30 tracks already and has even built a recording studio in his home, has become close pals with Canadian star Drake, 28.
