Even if your day job is as fun as reviewing games, getting to ride in a Mercedes-Benz AMG car driven by Lewis Hamilton should make for an absolutely amazing treat.
Let’s face it, YouTubers have it really easy these days – and that’s not to say that they don’t work hard or that they don’t deserve their success, because they do. The reason why they have it easy is because they get to do what they love and that pretty much puts them in a very small category of people.
So even as a YouTube celebrity, you’re definitely still in awe when meeting an even bigger celebrity, especially when it happens to be a multiple F1 world champion. According to Ali-A, this wasn’t his first time meeting Lewis, but it was the first time that he got to enjoy riding in the same car with him.
They climbed on board an E63 AMG and took to the same track where Lewis had fun with a few of his friends a few months ago. In fact, for all we know, it might even be the same car but under different weather conditions.
Still, it’s fun to see Lewis slide that 557 PS beast around a rather narrow circuit, especially knowing that he has to control no fewer than 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of torque.
He even does a quick reverse turn and shows a couple of other skills that you probably need to see for yourself. One thing is certain, Lewis definitely knows this car really well. Which means he probably drove it more than just a couple of times.
