After an intense Miami Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has released a cinematic video on social media, celebrating the city in spectacular style. The seven-time world champion is seen driving a Ferrari Testarossa through the streets of Miami, drawing inspiration from the 80s television series Miami Vice as well as the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The video, titled “Vice City Run” and presented with solemn blue and pink typography, captures the essence of Florida’s landscapes. With aggressive driving, Hamilton weaves between palm trees and canals, taking the audience on an adrenaline-filled journey that evokes key moments from the hit video game.
The video opens with Hamilton aboard a Wellcraft Scarab boat, a model reminiscent of those players would find in the game. Dressed in a two-button suit, a pink shirt, and aviator sunglasses, he prepares for his adventure as he steps into the Ferrari. The first action he takes is an explosive drift that leaves a trail of tire smoke.
In the world of Grand Theft Auto, the most sought-after vehicle is the Cheetah, a car modeled after the design of the Testarossa. With a 4.9-liter engine and 390 horsepower, the sound of the engine resonates as Hamilton defies speed limits through the streets of Miami.
As the video progresses, dizzying shots are shown through the city’s avenues with daring camera angles. The sequence culminates at night, passing by the famous Ocean Drive, with the characteristic neon lights of South Beach’s art deco hotels glowing in the background.
So far, the clip has garnered over 320,000 likes on Instagram and more than 5,000 comments. Although Hamilton did not achieve the expected results in the Grand Prix, he at least got to enjoy Miami in its fullest expression.
