Lewis Hamilton is widely known in the Formula 1 paddock for his interests beyond the sport. The seven-time F1 world champion recently made headlines when he appeared in a teaser for an upcoming music video by a popular American singer-songwriter. The song, titled ‘Dade County Dreaming’, will be released on June 28th.
Hamilton has always had a passion for pop music and even showcased his vocal skills in a 2020 hit called ‘Pipe’, under the pseudonym ‘XNDA’. The British racing star received immense praise for his vocals, with fans from around the world applauding his talent.
In the teaser for ‘Dade County Dreaming’, Hamilton is seen driving in a convertible Mercedes alongside Camila Cabello as they speed down I-95 towards Miami Beach. This is not the only non-racing venture Hamilton is involved in, as he is also producing an upcoming F1 movie with A-list celebrities. The film is set to be released next year.
Despite his off-track endeavors, Hamilton has had a challenging season in Formula 1 and is eager to improve his performance. The upcoming Spanish Grand Prix, a race he has won six times in the past, presents an opportunity for him to secure his first podium of the 2024 season.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff provided insights into the team’s strategies and the challenges they may face at the Spanish GP. The team has been struggling with speed on the straightaways of the track, but has shown strength in the corners. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with its combination of high-speed straights and corners, will serve as a test for the team’s improved performance.
Despite the challenges, Wolff remains confident in the team’s ability to overcome adversity and perform well on the high-speed track in Barcelona. The upcoming weekend will be crucial for the German team as it will provide valuable insights into their performance for the rest of the season.
