Trending 2 hours ago

Lewis Hamilton ever seems to person a nosy clip successful Japan. He's won nan Japanese Grand Prix 5 times, erstwhile astatine Fuji and 4 times astatine Suzuka, nan astir caller being 2018. Just a mates weekends agone he came successful sixth astatine nan title successful Japan, which I'm judge he was happy capable with, but it's his antics extracurricular of nan races that ever look much entertaining. Over nan past fewer years he's put retired "Tokyo Drift" videos of him hooning R34 Skyline GT-Rs, 1 of which (embedded below) sewage him in problem pinch nan rental company. 

A fewer days earlier nan Japanese Grand Prix successful March, Lewis was seen pulling up to a car meet astatine nan famed Daikoku Parking Area successful a reddish Ferrari F40, pinch a squad of group filming and taking photos. On Monday Lewis posted the product of that travel arsenic "Tokyo Drift Vol. III," and beyond being an perfectly sick and highly well-produced video, it serves arsenic nan coolest difficult motorboat ever for his evident narration with Kim Kardashian. (Maybe it's besides a preview for the F40 revival he wants Ferrari to make.)

The video

Rumors astir Lewis and Kim first popped up a fewer months ago, arsenic they were seen from a region checking into a fancy British resort, and past were spotted again successful Arizona, wherever they seemingly posted photos of nan aforesaid beautiful sunset to their societal media pages. They sat together astatine nan Super Bowl, but since nan Formula 1 play started, she hasn't followed him to immoderate races, though we knew they had been together successful Japan nan week earlier nan race. But this is nan first clip either of them person posted each other, arsenic she's sitting shotgun for a batch of nan caller Tokyo Drift video, laughing pinch a immense grin connected her look astatine nan extremity aft a peculiarly lurid donut.

The video really does freaking rule. It's credited to Lewis' collaborator 13thwitness, who posted immoderate awesome photos from nan shoot, and friend of Jalopnik Larry Chen was besides involved, pinch immoderate of his shots from nan nighttime being utilized successful nan last video. In nan caption, Chen called retired Yip Feng, who drove nan camera car, saying "Keeping up pinch Lewis is rather difficult 🤣😂" Yeah, I'm sure! There are a batch of different group who sewage awesome shots of Lewis successful the F40, for illustration longtime Jalopnik contributor Ken Saito but it's particularly worthy scrolling done Larry's provender and nan different collaborators for nan video.

Unlike galore annoying Formula 1 fans who are upset erstwhile immoderate magnitude of personage thing happens moreover adjacent to their sport, I deliberation this is fun. Kim is intelligibly a legit car enthusiast (and truthful are astir of her sisters), and immoderate benignant of narration for illustration this will only further nan maturation of F1. Isn't that what each of america should want, for much group to beryllium willing in, aliases astatine slightest funny about, nan automotive athletics they love? The aforesaid goes for automotive enthusiasm broadly, but that's really a speech for different day. I wonderment if we'll spot them some astatine nan Met Gala successful a fewer weeks. Now that Ferrari has nan Purosangue, they could really show up successful nan aforesaid car. An SUV pinch termination doors is simply a spot easier than a supercar to get successful and retired of erstwhile you're successful couture.
