DUBAI: Mercedes F1 star, Lewis Hamilton, was seen zooming with a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R at midnight through the streets of Tokyo.
The F1 star was ripping donuts with fumes flowing out of the gearbox of his $250,000 rental car.

The video sparked a lot of controversy; Omoshiro Rent-A-Car, the rental company that lent the JDM legend car to Hamilton, was not happy about his driving manoeuvre.
Public opinion about this incident is not entirely clear; some are criticising his driving and labelling it as reckless and irresponsible, while others are loving the adrenaline kick.
Hamilton writes, “I only like to drive on track, but I make exceptions” as his caption for his video.
