Smith used a scene from his movie Bad Boys 2 and edited his face onto Hamilton’s face. The scene depicts the driver escaping from the police in a Ferrari 550 Maranello. Smith shared the video on Instagram with a caption relating to how Hamilton would arrive at the grid in 2025, wearing Ferrari’s tracksuit.

Smith also posted the video to his story, increasing its visibility. Hamilton himself commented on the funny meme reference from the Hollywood star.
Hamilton quickly noticed the amusing posts from the 55-year-old actor and shared his opinion on the meme. The Briton commented, “from now on, that’s how you drive!!!!” referring to Smith’s tough driving style in Bad Boys 2. Hamilton took the meme in good spirits and did not take offense to it.
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has been finalized with a multi-year contract for the 39-year-old. This means that the seven-time world champion will potentially continue in the sport for even longer than , who is still driving at the age of 42. Hamilton will team up with the Monegasque driver at Maranello, aiming for great results under the Italian constructor’s race suit.
Both drivers excel in their respective elements and are expected to have a successful season starting in 2025. However, Hamilton still has one final year at Mercedes to achieve the best possible results for the Brackley team and end the season on a high note. The seven-time world champion will push himself to the limit and potentially aim to win the championship title in 2024 alongside Mercedes.
