  • Lewis Hamilton drives a Koenigsegg Agera S in the 2015 Gumball 3000 rally

    Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton, after a tumultuous weekend in Monaco where he had to give up an almost certain win due to an error by his Mercedes AMG team, headed to California to let off some steam by taking part in the final leg of the 2015 Gumball 3000 rally. But Hamilton wasn’t in his own car. Instead, the reigning F1 champ hopped behind the wheel of a bright blue Koenigsegg Agera S. The Agera S belonged to one of Hamilton’s friends, David Heinemeier Hansson, an IT entrepreneur and amateur racer that happens to be one of the few Koenigsegg owners in the U.S. The car has been...

  • Lewis Hamilton drives Top Gear's Suzuki Liana

    In 2007, F1 star Lewis Hamilton drove what can only be described as a “remarkable” lap around the Top Gear test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome. In wet conditions, with oil from a broken gearbox coating Gambon corner, Hamilton cranked out a lap of 1:44.7 behind the wheel of a Suzuki Liana.

Kimi Raikkonen, on a very wet track, managed just a 1:46.1. The record holder, among Formula One drivers, had...
