Lewis Hamilton teaches Weybridge youngsters to drive
Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton was in Weybridge on Saturday, June 13, to open Mercedes-Benz worlds new driving academy.
Mercedes-Benz said the academy would revolutionise the way British teenagers learn to drive.
The academy will coach students on Mercedes-Benz World’s private track, ensuring they are road-savvy by the time they reach driving age.
Hamilton took part in a precision driving performance with local teenagers and spent time with fans, even taking a few lucky teenagers on to the track to teach them driving skills.
