Lewis Hamilton playing dangerous game as he suffers two accidents
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, has had a fortunate escape from a potentially nasty accident for the second time in the space of a week. The 40-year-old driver, who recently made a blockbuster move to Ferrari for the 2025 season, was participating in a promotional event in Italy when the incident occurred.
Hamilton was attending a fan exhibition on the streets of Milan, where he was driving a previous Ferrari F1 car. As he stepped out of the cockpit, he failed to notice that the team’s mechanical crew had jacked the car up, causing the front left tire to spin. Hamilton, who was waving to the fans, lost his balance and landed on the tire beneath him, narrowly avoiding a serious injury.
This incident comes just a week after Hamilton had another close call at F1 testing in Bahrain. While boarding a golf cart in the paddock, Hamilton slipped and jumped off in a hurried maneuver while the cart was still moving. He then skipped away, seemingly embarrassed by the incident.
Despite these two close calls, Hamilton appears to be taking things in stride. He has been calm and composed, almost as if the incidents never happened. This is perhaps a testament to his experience and maturity as a driver.
Ferrari, meanwhile, has been busy showcasing their all-star driver lineup ahead of the 2025 season. The team recently unveiled Hamilton at their headquarters in Maranello, and then threw a massive party on the streets for their loyal fanbase. Hamilton and his teammate, Charles Leclerc, took part in the festivities, driving an older Ferrari model and performing doughnuts and light drifting for the thousands of fans in attendance.
As the 2025 season prepares to get underway, Ferrari will be hoping that their drivers can keep their cars on the straight and narrow. The team will be looking to make a strong start to the season, and Hamilton will be eager to get off to a good start with his new team. The Australian Grand Prix, which takes place on March 16, will be the first test of the season for Ferrari and their drivers.
In the meantime, Hamilton will be focusing on preparing for the new season and getting accustomed to his new car and team. Despite the two close calls, he appears to be in good spirits and is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead. With his experience and skill, Hamilton will undoubtedly be one of the drivers to watch in the 2025 season.
