When Lewis Hamilton flew on stage as Apollo in a McLaren suit

An old video of Lewis Hamilton flying onto a theater stage in a McLaren wingsuit reappeared on social media as Formula 1 took a winter break. The rare video shows the Briton in one of McLaren’s bizarre campaigns for their title sponsor Vodafone in 2008.

Check out Hamilton in a McLaren wingsuit in the video below:

Hamilton’s flight in his wingsuit racing suit was the result of a commercial partnership between Vodafone and McLaren. When Apollo was cast in a play about the Trojan War, the seven-time world champion had to fly in and end the war, according to the advertising campaign.

Amid the many absurd promotions drivers made for their sponsors, this promotion took place in the second year of the seven-time world champion’s F1 career. Hamilton won his first world title the same year his theatrical performance was shown for Vodafone.
