If starting his first Formula 1 Grand Prix as a works Ferrari driver this weekend and his 357th Grand Prix this coming weekend weren’t enough to concentrate on – yep, life moves pretty fast… – seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton took time out to drive an uber-rare 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder as an homage to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Lewis Hamilton drove a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder to film a remake of 'Ferris Bueller’s Day Off' in honor of his first season with Ferrari.

Because Lewis Hamilton has driven a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off —as that valet! Who goes on a joyride in Chicago! And Edward Norton is his co-pilot! There are pre-season sponsor signings and corporate events, and then there’s a seven-time champion starring in a classic comedy film.

Lewis Hamilton, seven-time Formula One World Champion, has already been having a lot of fun driving a Ferrari despite the 2025 racing season’s kickoff not being until Sunday, March 16 in Melbourne at the Australian Grand Prix.
