The Brazilian Grand Prix is upon us and as the drivers gear up for the big race this weekend, they appeared for their mandatory pre-race interviews. However, these interviews weren’t as serious as you’d think they’d be. In fact, two drivers were seen being their fun self, singing away. They were none other than Mercedes star, Lewis Hamilton, and McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo.

The seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, and the Honey Badger, both were in their spirits as they approached their ‘karaoke mics.’ The video that surfaced earlier, gave people an insight into what was going on behind the scenes in Brazil. And as the racers approached the mics, they couldn’t help but comment about the unusual setup.

Lewis Hamilton was seen walking up to the tall mic stand and claiming that it indeed made him feel like he was doing karaoke, whilst he fidgeted with the mic stand in hand. And without missing a beat, Lewis broke into a song. He took his mic and swung it around like a rockstar and sang, ‘I feel good’, giving us a mini-performance.

The Honey Badger had a similar response as well! He took his seat, held the mic, and said, ‘This is like, probably like what rockstars use.” 

He, too, couldn’t resist the mic swing. Trying to channel his inner Freddie Mercury, Daniel broke into a song as well.
