The final video in 'The Duel' from watch company Tag Heuer sees F1 champion Lewis Hamilton taking on racer and actor Steve McQueen on the Le Mans track that made McQueen famous. Using editing techniques, the pair is put together on the screen for an impossible race - and a little bad lip syncing.

The first video invited the viewer to guess whether the 'icon', Steve McQueen, or the 'virtuoso', Lewis Hamilton would win. This final video answers the question, though considering that McQueen is driving his 1970 Porsche 908 and Lewis Hamilton is in his modern-day Formula 1 car, you might think that the contest was over before it started. But thanks to the magic of the movies, McQueen and Hamilton slug it out wheel-to-wheel.

Three lucky winners who guessed the right outcome at TAG Heuer's site each received their choice of a Monaco watch, a signed Lewis Hamilton helmet or - for the truly adventurous - their very own test drive in a Formula 1 race car. Check out the video to see if your pick was the winner.
