Lewis Hamilton recently uploaded a story of Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown in an interview, where she talked about the time in 2018 when she got to do a hotlap around the Circuit of The Americas, Texas. The season 4 of Stranger Things released recently, and in a show on YouTube, “First We Feast,” she was asked about how she knows the 7 time world champion, and she mentioned about the time in 2018 when both of them did a hotlap around COTA. She said that it was “terrifying” but super cool at the same time.

The duo met with Hamilton a few days prior to his race at the circuit, and after a lap in the yellow Mercedes of Hamilton, he did a couple of donuts on the track to bring it to an end. Both of them then proceeded to pose for a few pictures around the car. She posted the pictures on Instagram saying that those were “most crazy 3 minutes” of her life.

In the interview, she said that if you look at the picture they took before going into the car, you can “see I’m a bit nervous.” The lap went fine for Hamilton but Millie was terrified of the speed and the turns, as it could be seen on Formula 1’s official YouTube channel, she was screaming and trying to hold onto herself during the lap, while being amazed at the same time. 

Lewis Hamilton posted that part of the interview on his Instagram story, saying “Glad you enjoyed!” referring to the lap. 

Lewis Hamilton stands 6th in the championship standings this year with 50 points after a rough start, and Mercedes stand 3rd with 134 points.
