Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton and Real Madrid hero Kylian Mbappe came together for a high-profile EA Sports event.
In a thrilling blend of speed and skill, the two icons in their respective sports met as part of a broader campaign to promote the newly launched F1 2025 game.
Ahead of the Barcelona Grand Prix this week, the event took place at the Circuit de Catalunya. The new F1 videogame will officially launch on May 30.
In a video shared by the EA Sports F1 account, Mbappe was seen presenting the Ferrari driver with a signed Real Madrid shirt.
This blend of football and racing is nothing new. In the 2024 edition, we saw Diogo Jota and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang join Charles Leclerc and Alex Albon during the unveiling event of the videogame ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton has struggled badly so far, and he will be eyeing a podium finish for the first time this season at the Spanish Grand Prix.
The FIA has been checking the front wing bodywork flexibility of the cars, which might put the McLarens at a disadvantage.
Hamilton is unsure whether the new rules around the front wing flexing will have any impact on the game. He feels that Ferrari are improving with every race and there is potential if they execute well.
The British driver ended a 12-year stint with Mercedes to join Ferrari in 2025. The last two races at Imola and Monaco have been encouraging for Ferrari.
