Sir Lewis Hamilton is used to whizzing about in souped-up cars – but at home, he likes to keep a low profile in a Mr Bean-style banger.
The Formula One ace is not a fan of driving outside of office hours and, if he must, prefers to go for a spin in a back-to-basics Mini Cooper.
Sir Lewis, 37, told The Jimmy Kimmel Show: ‘I actually don’t really like driving, unless I’m going fast.
‘When I get home, I have an old Mini Cooper, like the Mr Bean car. I go and take it back to the town where I grew up and I drive down memory lane.’
Sir Lewis, who was raised in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, continued: ‘I go past my first school, my first house. No-one would expect me in that car, that’s for sure!’
