Remember the time Lewis Hamilton and Odell Beckham Jr. (OBJ) hung out? That was a fun video that Hamilton posted on his YouTube account. It has since received almost 15k likes and a good number of views. OBJ and Hamilton clearly enjoyed each other’s company and gave us some funny moments.

The Zonda’s battery dying at the end of the video was a masterpiece. Moreover, the two dug deep into each other lives, where American football wide receiver, OBJ, and Hamilton shared a little about each other’s sports. ‘Trading’ was a major topic of discussion where Hamilton spilled a few F1 facts.

However, a joke made by OBJ is what left many fans amused. Beckham Jr, with a fun sense of humor, had a funny reaction to Hamilton’s ride. Announcing “you Vegan and your car vegan” to the Mercedes driver, he acknowledged the petite car. Understandably, as a racing driver, Hamilton’s choice was rather surprising and maybe not the most go-to for OBJ.

The joke was totally fitting, given Hamilton is a practicing vegan for quite some time now. Further, this video is from when the duo roamed Monaco streets before the race of 2020. Notably, fans got to see the insides of the car and even a lucky moment for a Hamilton fan.

Just in case someone was interested in the F1 driver’s car; it is electrically powered. Aside from being eco-friendly, it clocks in a top speed of 130 km/h. The body in itself is a rather attractive design, and the car is spacious despite being small. Understandably, this car is a wonderful ride on a crowded road.

The price of this car is around 64,200 EUR (close to $67,295). Further, the car also has an open-top that can allow for a more unique experience. Despite being uncharacteristic of Hamilton’s profession, the car has its own advantages, and it is understandable why this is a must-have. Further, Hamilton also owns several other rare machinery and, in fact, has one of the most pricy car collections.
