Lewis Hamilton stars in pal Swiss Beatz's video with flashy sports car

London, July 25 (ANI): Lewis Hamilton let his pal Swiss Beatz use his flashy McLaren MP4-12C sports car in his latest music video in Cannes.

However, rather than let the US star get behind the wheel, 27-year-old Hamilton stayed put in the driver's seat and chaperoned his new friend around the French town.

The pair obviously attracted a lot of attention as they cruised in the sleek red car in the sunshine.

The Formula One ace didn't appear to be phased by the crowds as they drove down the street and looked rather cool, calm and collected in a denim shirt, dark sunglasses and a bright blue Reebok cap, the Daily Mail reported.

Earlier on in the day, Hamilton had tweeted several photos of the vehicle, with the caption: "Just got to canne to catch up wit my man @THEREALSWIZZZ he loves my mclaren."

Apparently, Swizz Beatz isn't the only music star that Hamilton has been hanging out with while in Cannes.

The Stevenage-born racer, who is currently in a relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, also tweeted personal snaps of himself with Chris Brown and Ludacris.

Hamilton hinted that he is starring in Swizz Beatz's latest music video after he posted a photo of them in a studio.

"In Cannes wit my main man @therealswizzz on the film set to 'everyday is your birthday' amazing experience!" he wrote. (ANI)
