Lewis Hamilton has been a celebrity as much as he is an F1 driver. Thus, his lifestyle would bring with it many glamorous parties, which in turn would entail a certain degree of dancing. Hamilton is well known for his Carnival dance with then-rumored girlfriend Rihanna; however, a lot of time has since passed as the 37-year-old lets loose during his summer break. Although it is truly a sight to behold.

Hamilton has taken the opportunity of his well-deserved time off to explore his roots and vacation in Africa. After a beautiful time in Namibia, floating around in hot air balloons, the Mercedes star then shifted camp to Rwanda.

While hiking in green fields and making conversation with chimps, Hamilton also took some time to party a bit. In a video shared by his friend, the 7-time champion is seen dancing with little children. His friend Miles took the spotlight. Nevertheless, in the final moments of the clip, Hamilton weirdly hops/runs into the frame, attempting to stay on beat- and that’s all it took to send fans on a riot.

Still, with a big smile plastered across his face, Hamilton looks to be having a ball- and rightfully so! After a tempestuous first stint of the season, the champ seems to be riding the high of the last-minute success that surprised the Silver Arrows.

The merriment aside, it’s safe to say fans were a little taken aback to see their otherwise composed driver shaking a leg. Yet, it wasn’t the act that bothered them, but the dancing itself.

To clear the air- no one knows what Hamilton tried to pull off there, and this may just be the best guess.
