There was hardly anything to show for the Mercedes AMG F1 team in the 2022 season. The team from Britain didn’t have anything to put up as a highlight in this F1 season. However, as the season is almost at its end, Lewis Hamilton, tied up with F1, has showcased something that fans have never witnessed before.

Formula 1 was in Las Vegas for the launch party ahead of next year’s race. Apart from Lewis Hamilton, there were George Russell, Sergio Perez, and Alexander Albon in attendance. As Hamilton took the streets of Las Vegas to entertain the crowds with some incredible donuts, fans couldn’t help but show their appreciation for it.
Mind you, these were no random donuts that the Mercedes driver pulled off at the Las Vegas strip. As Hamilton showcased donuts in his Mercedes machine, it had neon LEO light strips fitted underneath.
The lights certainly fulfilled their role as fans were left in awe of the W12 in all its glory. In fact, making a lasting impression on the fans, the introduction of the floor lights were soon high in demand.
Fans react as they saw Lewis Hamilton pulling off the donuts
As F1 was in Las Vegas, the show had to be grand for the American crowds. The fans were taken aback by such a concept and asked the sport’s governing body to make this official for all the night races.
Given below are some of the fan reactions taken from Twitter:
