Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc strapped into the brand‑new fully electric Ferrari Luce for a live test run just before its official debut.
Track‑side shenanigans as champions take the EV for a spin
Inside the sealed silk cover, the two Formula 1 drivers swapped seats and pushed the Luce around the circuit, prompting a cascade of startled shouts from Leclerc and a nervous giggle from Hamilton. “Whoa! No‑no‑no—please don’t do that! LH‑LH‑LH… careful!” Leclerc yelled, while the seven‑time champion laughed and warned, “Don’t push it too far.” Their antics sparked a flurry of comments online, with one Reddit user dubbing the scene “panic station” when Hamilton drove and “calm” when Leclerc sat beside him.
Technical heart of the Luce and designer insight
The electric hypercar runs on a 122 kWh pack feeding four independent motors that together churn out 1,035 hp, enabling a 0‑62 mph sprint in 2.5 seconds and a quoted top speed of 192 mph. Ferrari claims an electric range near 330 miles per charge. After the ride, Leclerc noted the car’s futuristic styling yet praised its return to tactile controls, saying the physical buttons let the driver stay connected to the road. Hamilton added that the meticulous craftsmanship was evident, highlighting the balanced feel through corners and the smooth power delivery.
Fan buzz and what’s next for Ferrari’s electric ambition
Online observers compared the duo’s chemistry to a “great team‑mate dynamic,” with many noting Hamilton’s ending laugh as the highlight of the clip. As the EV prepares for public rollout, the blend of raw performance figures and driver enthusiasm suggests Ferrari is positioning the Luce as a bold statement toward an electrified future.
