Spotted: Lewis Hamilton stars in Swiss Beatz video in Cannes

Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton decided to let Swiss Beatz use his flashy McLaren MP4-12C sports car in his latest music video in Cannes yesterday.

However, as his prized possession, 27-year-old Lewis stayed put in the driver’s seat and chaperoned his new friend around the French town.

The pair attracted a lot of attention as they cruised in the sleek red car in the sunshine, however the pair didn’t appear to be phased by the crowds, as Lewis drove down the street and looked rather cool, calm and collected in a denim shirt, dark sunglasses and a bright blue Reebok cap.

Earlier on in the day, Hamilton had tweeted several photos of the vehicle, with the caption: ‘Just got to canne to catch up wit my man @THEREALSWIZZZ he loves my mclaren.’
