In a season filled with anticipation and excitement, Lewis Hamilton has made a splash in his first year with Ferrari, blending nostalgia with modern racing. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion recently recreated a beloved scene from the 1986 cult classic film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, showcasing his playful spirit and love for the sport. This homage not only highlights Hamilton’s enthusiasm but also marks a significant chapter in his illustrious career.
A nostalgic tribute to a classic film
For those unfamiliar with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the film follows a high school student, Ferris Bueller, who decides to skip school for a day of adventure. One of the film’s most memorable moments involves Ferris and his friend Cameron borrowing a stunning 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, owned by Cameron’s father. In a humorous twist, they leave the car at a garage, only for the attendant to take it for a joyride. Hamilton’s remake of this iconic scene, available on his YouTube channel, features him as the attendant, bringing a fresh take on a classic moment.

Joining Hamilton in this fun endeavor is Hollywood actor Edward Norton, who plays the role of the attendant’s colleague. Their chemistry adds a layer of charm to the remake, making it a delightful watch for fans of both the film and Formula 1. Hamilton’s dedication to authenticity shines through as he tracked down a replica of the original Ferrari used in the film. “This is to pay homage to the iconic film and to celebrate my first season with Ferrari,” Hamilton expressed, emphasizing the significance of this project to him.
A new chapter with Ferrari
After spending the majority of his career with Mercedes-Benz AMG, where he clinched six of his seven world titles, Hamilton’s move to Ferrari marks a bold new direction.

As he prepares for his first race with the Prancing Horse at the Australian Grand Prix, fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds.
