I know we all like to joke about Lewis and his Instagram

But taking one of the classic Silver Arrows around the banking at Monza is pretty damn cool.

I’m sure there will be a fancy video of his track day with Sir Stirling Moss eventually but for now I’ll enjoy the solid use of Instagram today.

No indication of motion at all. Wearing a ball cap, is probably not an issue.

The only thing “flat-out” in this photo is the brim on that hat.

There’s a reason he’s doing it and not Nico.

I’ve seen video of them driving and he wasn’t wearing a helmet. I imagine they weren’t going “flat out” but he had pretty good speed going down the straight in one clip.

“Let’s all celebrate another day of my life being waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than yours. Seriously. Like...you could cure cancer tomorrow, and you still wouldn’t have a life as good as mine is. So, to recap, if you’ve woken up today and you’re not me, you’ve lost the game of life.

Also, I’ve donated $10M to cancer research to offset the douche level of this comment.”

Came here for the McMike patented receding hairline shop. Left disappointed.

C’mon. Take away the good looks the millions and the fact that he can pretty much do what he wants and what do you really have? Ok, he has all that. Son of a bitch. I didn’t realize I don’t like this guy til just now.

Nico is in the shot. He’s just sitting still out of frame complaining that Lewis had stopped.

I actually don’t think it is. The focus is just off, like its a cell phone photo, and there some dust coming off the back. The suspension appears to be depressed so he’s experiencing some Gs. I just seriously doubt that it’s actually “flat out.” Pretty sure there's a speed limit on the bank since it's rarely used anyway.

Besides, there's video of him driving the car on other sections of the track. He has actually driven it.

No I’m sure you’re right, I don’t think his PR people would let him put totally shopped stuff on instragram. Also, you know, if anyone has access to a classic Mercedes race car it’s the Mercedes world champion. It just looks really strange and off and... well kinda shopped haha.

Yeah apparently his Instagram followers had a debate about it. I'm sure there will be a pro video of the event. It's a PR gold mine.
