VIDEO – Hamilton and Russell challenge each other with the Mercedes-AMG One

Imagine that your garden becomes a circuit. That's pretty much what they experienced Lewis Hamilton and George Russell thanks to Mercedes Benz. For one day, the German manufacturer's track located in Immendingen became the favorite playground of the two Englishmen.

In a marketing operation organized by Mercedes, the two drivers of the German team Formula 1 were challenged. The concept is simple. A box containing the keys to the 5 cars behind them is at their feet. Randomly, or not, everyone must choose one for each event: slalom and drift.

Unsurprisingly, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell each chose the Mercedes-AMG One for the slalom course, no doubt because the German car, which notably features the engine of a current F1 car, has incredible performance.

For the second challenge, the seven-time world champion opted for the new GT while his teammate took the wheel of the C 63 SE PERFORMANCE.

As for the last car to decide between them, it was Lewis Hamilton who won the “rock, paper, scissors” and had the pleasure of taking George Russell for a ride on the Immendingen track aboard the S 63 E PERFORMANCE. A car " luxurious » according to the former McLaren.

George Russell appreciated this experience, his first lap alongside Lewis Hamilton, and even wondered why Mercedes didn't take them to this track more often. Do it again!
