Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton demonstrated his driving skills on the streets of Tokyo behind the wheel of the legendary sports car Ferrari F40. His companion during this ride was the famous media personality Kim Kardashian.
Return to Tokyo with a New Car
This exciting video is reminiscent of a similar video Hamilton shot four years ago, when he was driving a Japanese Nissan Skyline. Now, as a driver for the Ferrari team, he chose one of the brand’s most famous cars for the shoot. The footage shows night rides through the city, a visit to the popular car enthusiast spot Daikoku Parking Area, and controlled drifts in the Ferrari F40.
Dream of His Own Project
The seven-time Formula 1 world champion does not hide his love for the F40 model. Just at the beginning of last year, shortly after moving to Ferrari, he spoke about his desire to create a road car inspired by this legend. Hamilton even gave it the working name “F44” and expressed a wish for it to have a manual gearbox. It is still unknown whether Ferrari’s management supported this idea, or whether the driver will have to look for partners among tuning ateliers to implement it.

There is no exact information on whether the car shown in the video belongs to Hamilton himself, but he clearly handles the wheel of this powerful and demanding machine with confidence.

This public outing takes place against the backdrop of Hamilton’s improving sporting results. After a difficult 2025 season, where he struggled with an imperfect car, in 2026 he has already managed to reach the podium in three races. The combination of regained competitiveness on the track with bright off-track projects and new personal connections forms a new, interesting stage in the career and life of the famous athlete. Such public actions undoubtedly enhance his media presence and demonstrate a deep immersion in car culture beyond the racing circuit.
