Lewis Hamilton gave Charles Leclerc an unforgettable ride—one the Ferrari driver might not want to relive anytime soon.
In a hilarious video posted by Ferrari on its YouTube Channel, the two drivers took turns behind the wheel of a Ferrari F80. It started with Leclerc in the driver’s seat and Hamilton in the passenger seat, both smiling.
“You’re driving me?” Hamilton asked with a grin. “Alright. Let’s do it.”
As Leclerc took him for a spin, Hamilton was clearly impressed: “This is nice. It’s fast. Holy [expletive]. I’ve got to order one of these.”
But the tables turned quickly.
When Hamilton swapped into the driver’s seat, Leclerc’s confidence disappeared.
“I hate it. I hate it,” the Monegasque admitted almost instantly. As Hamilton put his foot down, Leclerc couldn’t hide his discomfort. “I’ve got a headache,” he confessed after the lap. “I was trying to be nice with you. He went flat out.”
Hamilton, however, was loving every second. “This is the fastest road car Ferrari has done,” he declared. “I’ve never driven anything like that on the road. This is another level.”
Charles: "It was very nice but I've got a headache. (to Lewis) I was trying to be nice with you"

By the end, Leclerc—slightly shaken—relented with a smirk: “It was very nice… but I’m sick already.”
As the two F1 stars cooled off post-ride, Hamilton asked the only logical question: “What colour are you getting?” Leclerc’s reply? “Full black.”
The playful exchange between teammates turned heads not just for the speed, but for the chemistry—and comedy_that Hamilton and Leclerc brought to the experience. Whether it’s on the track or off, Hamilton knows how to make an entrance—and clearly, leave a lasting impression.
And maybe a headache, too.
