British driver for Mercedes, Sir Lewis Carl Hamilton Davidson took ‘Stranger Things‘ actor Millie Bobby Brown for a lap around the US GP track in his own AMG GT R. Brown is seen laughing frantically as Hamilton shows off her skills. At one point she was so afraid that Hamilton might make a mistake that she screamed “Eyes on the road!” multiple times as Hamilton was changing the radio station in the car.
The lap, which took place at Circuit of the Americas, Texas was part of a promotional effort for a fashion company (Tommy Hilfiger) with which both Brown, as well as Hamilton, as well as Hamilton, are affiliated. Brown and Hamilton both had an exciting encounter during the hot run.
The two celebs geared up and climbed into Hamilton’s Mercedes-AMG GT R, a powerful sports car capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Lewis Hamilton took the wheel and pushed the vehicle to its limits on the Circuit of the Americas, showcasing his remarkable racing abilities. Throughout the ride, Brown, who had been sitting in the passenger car, could be seen shrieking and laughing with delight.
“This is gonna be so much fun” 🤣

Brown has always respected Hamilton and has often expressed her admiration for him on social media, so meeting him and riding in his car was a fantasy come true for her.

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton seemed to be enjoying the chance to show off his driving abilities to a person who is not a professional racer. In a video released by the fashion label, he can be observed smiling and chatting with Brown prior to the ride, then adopting a serious, focused attitude once they’re on the course.
Hamilton is known for his competitive mindset and determination to win, and regardless the fact that the hot run was not a race, it was clear that he was resolved to offer Brown with the most enjoyable experience possible.

However, Hamilton’s hot lap with Brown was just one of many commercial activities he has taken part in over the years. As one of the world’s most prominent and well-known drivers, he is frequently contacted to market goods or make public visits. Hamilton, on the other end of the spectrum, has been an outspoken advocate for social justice and environmental concerns, using his platform to raise awareness and press for change. His collaboration with Brown and Tommy Hilfiger is just one illustration of how he is using his notoriety for good.
