A video has emerged of Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson saying he expects to be "sacked" by the BBC.
The host was speaking at a charity event in London, where he was auctioning what he described as his "last lap" on the Top Gear race track.
"I don't know when I did my last ever lap of the track, before the BBC sacks me," he said.
An investigation into Clarkson's current suspension following a "fracas" with a producer is still ongoing.
A report over the incident is due to be handed to director general Tony Hall next week, who will consider the evidence and "set out any further steps".
The Roundhouse Gala on Thursday saw Clarkson offer to drive someone round the Top Gear track as part of an experience offered during the auction.
"I didn't foresee my sacking, but I would like to do one last lap," he said.
"I'll go down to Surrey and I'll do one last lap of that track before the [BBC] sack me.
"And I'll drive somebody around in whatever I can get hold of when I'm sacked, so it's probably an Austin Maestro."
The presenter gave an expletive-filled description of BBC bosses, adding Top Gear had been "a great show" but it had been ruined by the corporation.
