Lewis Hamilton’s first season with Ferrari may have been filled with challenges, but the seven-time world champion found a rare moment of levity at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The highlight came not on the track, but in Ferrari’s garage, when Hamilton welcomed Hollywood star Ana de Armas for a behind-the-scenes tour.
Video clips shared on social media show Hamilton explaining the car’s intricate steering wheel and features while Ana leaned in, laughing and trying it out herself.

The usually focused and serious driver appeared unusually relaxed, sharing smiles and easy conversation with the actress.
Fans quickly noticed the chemistry between the two, with social media buzzing over their warm interaction. Hamilton briefly wrapped an arm around Ana as they laughed together, while she responded with a friendly pat on his back.

While completely innocent, the moment sparked playful speculation online, with supporters commenting on how well the pair seemed to get along.
The timing of the meeting made it particularly notable. Hamilton had finished ninth in the Abu Dhabi race, concluding the season sixth in the 2025 Drivers’ Championship with 156 points.
The season had been challenging, with Ferrari struggling to meet expectations and Hamilton navigating technical setbacks and mounting pressure.
For a few minutes in the garage, however, the stress of the year lifted. Hamilton’s smile and the easy rapport with Ana de Armas offered fans a glimpse of a lighter, more human side of the Formula 1 star, one rarely seen during such a tense campaign.
While Ferrari continues to address technical issues and pursue a stronger season ahead, this fleeting moment provided a welcome reminder that even the most intense weekends leave room for genuine, joyful human connection.
