Lewis Hamilton, the renowned Formula 1 driver, is set to star in Camila Cabello's upcoming music video for her latest song, "Dade County Dreaming." This track, recorded for her fourth studio album "C,XOXO," features a collaboration with the hip hop duo "City Girls," comprising Yung Miami and JT from Miami, Florida.

Camila Cabello recently shared a sneak peek of the music video on her social media platforms. The preview highlights stunning aerial shots and scenes featuring Hamilton driving a luxury convertible car with Cabello as his co-driver. The video promises a blend of action, speed, and Miami's vibrant music scene.

Cabello expressed her excitement about the collaboration, noting the importance of "City Girls" in the Miami music scene. "The missing piece on the album because City Girls represents Miami very strongly," she said about the single "Dade County Dreaming." The "City Girls" duo first gained significant attention with their uncredited appearance on Drake's chart-topping 2018 single "In My Feelings."

Lewis Hamilton, talking about his recent  performance at the Canadian Grand Prix described it as  "one of my worst races," despite securing his best result of the Formula 1 season so far. Hamilton finished in fourth place in Montreal, narrowly missing out on a podium finish.

In a post-race interview, Hamilton admitted he would need to return to the "drawing board" to improve his performance. "It was a tough race. I made some mistakes and didn't have the pace I needed," he said. Hamilton's teammate, George Russell, started the race on pole position and managed to overtake Hamilton in the closing stages by sliding down the inside at the final chicane, ultimately securing the final podium spot.

Russell's maneuver knocked Hamilton off the podium, highlighting the competitive nature within the Mercedes team. Despite the setback, Hamilton remains determined to enhance his performance in upcoming races. "We'll analyze the data and come back stronger," he concluded.
