Lewis Hamilton is yet to have the season he was hoping for with Ferrari, especially after the disheartening result at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Still, in this head-to-head battle, the Briton managed to defeat Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton has previously acknowledged he is a passionate gamer, as at the Belgian Grand Prix, he also joked about not working when GTA VI gets released. "I'm dying for the new Grand Theft Auto to come out. GTA VI. That's the one I'm waiting for. I'll have to cancel all my work when that comes out," he joked at Spa-Francorchamps during a fan event.
Now, the Briton could 'lock horns' with his teammate, Charles Leclerc, playing retro video games.
