The number 44 developed a car with Mercedes, known as Project One. And the veteran car enthusiast made fun of the kind of influence the Knight would have over the car.
Clarkson said, “AMG project one developed by Lewis Hamilton, so presumably, it would have pierced door mirrors.
“When it gets to where it’s going the Sat Nav says hashtag blessed.”
The 60-year-old added his ultimate insult, ” The car is going to cost two million pounds, doesn’t say whether that includes tax.”
Hamilton is aware and learning to make a difference
Lewis has become aware of how his actions have impacted the world. He is trying to reduce his carbon footprint; he has taken several steps to fulfil that goal, such as selling his private jet, going vegan, and switching to electric cars. He has also taken up the role of a team owner in Formula E, F1’s eco-friendly counterpart.
Thus, Mercedes have used the Briton to help market their electric cars.
