The concept behind the video may seem comical, as the two F1 maestros are handed a box of keys representing five diverse cars and tasked to pick keys randomly. Knowing that all the keys are present, it’s a certainty that they will try out each vehicle. Predictably, both Hamilton and Russell happen upon the keys to the AMG One first and embark on an exhilarating slalom ride.
Exhibiting his trademark finesse, Lewis Hamilton effortlessly maneuvers the multi-million dollar, 1,000-horsepower hypercar through the slalom track. He glides through it as if it were a mere plaything, rather than a road-going projectile that holds the production car lap record at the Nürburgring.
Post the AMG One stint, they switch to different rides, with Hamilton delving into the new AMG GT. Although impressive, it lacks the visual charm and rockstar-like appeal of its forerunner. Meanwhile, Russell takes the wheel of the AMG E63, prompting Hamilton to jest, “Best of luck with your four-wheel-drive, mate.”
The clip may run for only a couple of minutes, yet it ignites the desire to witness F1 hotshots wreak havoc in ordinary cars more frequently, reminiscent of Hamilton’s escapades in Tokyo.
