Lewis Hamilton rediscovers PlayStation 1
Formula 1's seven-time world champion, took a trip back to his childhood for a game of PlayStation 1.
Accustomed to Formula 1 circuits, Lewis Hamilton was able to showcase his driving skills, this time in a virtual way. As part of a promotional video for Mercedes, the British driver had the opportunity to play the very first installment of Gran Turismo as well as the F1 2000 racing game.
During this test, he chose a car Nissan Skyline GT-R from the R33 Midnight Purple generation, well known to video game enthusiasts. But why didn’t he choose a Mercedes? It should be noted that at the time, Gran Turismo did not offer Mercedes. The German team only appeared from the second game. This is earlier than Ferrari, which only arrived in Gran Turismo 5.
The world champion had already made a video on social networks aboard a real GT-R. More precisely, a rental model of the R34 generation, this car was released after the game was launched.
