He was joined by commentator David Croft and Ferrari sporting director Diego Loverno after Carlos Sainz’s victory in Melbourne.

Loverno presented Kravitz with a birthday cake live on TV as both he and Croft called for someone to push his face into it.

Kravitz agreed, explaining: “Normally people’s heads end up in cakes. Am I wrong? In tradition, when it is somebody’s birthday, do you not just want to put a little bit in my face?”

With the cake smeared all over his face, he turned to Loverno and said: “In the greatest honour of Formula One birthdays, you have to put a bit on my face.”
