Without a doubt, Queen is one of the most iconic rock bands of all time and many are big fans. So it does not come as a surprise when Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton tried to play their iconic song, Bohemian Rhapsody.

In an Instagram post, he said, “I just wanted to share this with you. Finally home and happy, this song was on my mind so I sat at the piano trying to figure it out. I want you to know that I’m not good at everything but I try everything and I give it all my heart. I don’t always show you the steps in which I take to learn things, usually is just the end result of a lot of mistakes just like my racing but it all took practice and mistakes to get me here. So don’t be discouraged by your failures as they are just the piece to the puzzle that is needed to create the whole picture. Keep pushing and don’t give up on anything especially your dreams.”

To his credit, he was fairly good pianist and certainly gave the song some justice despite the poorly tuned piano.

Lewis Hamilton is currently spending some time back home before the second pre-season test begins.
