To be fair, that first stage in Driver is complete insanity
Yeah it wasn’t easy that
I remember it took my family 3 days to do it.
It's easy when you know what the moves on the list mean. But without knowing that it's pretty much impossible yeah.
i did it and i was 4 years old..
After you work out how to do the techniques it's pretty easy. The President's Run (I think it was called that), the last stage in the game? That was mad. Driving a limo that handled like an oil tanker, with every enemy just trying to hit you head on. It was a great game, my friends and I used to have competitions on the mini-game where you had to hit checkpoint flags, constantly trying to beat each other's times. We learned the flag locations and got insanely good at it to the point we could tag them with the back of the car in the middle of doing a 180 to get the shortest route between flags. Then GT2 came out...
Funny to see Lewis struggling with those games. I never had a wheel so could probably give him a decent race on a PS1, which would be the exact opposite of real life.
Blowing the disc, Lewis is a true gamer.
wat
@@Jev6 the disc might not be read because of the dust, so its always best to blow the dust out like every true gamer fans does in the old days
@@drubo17we did it to cartridges, not to discs
@@radicalstanza3614 which is why the disc needs to blow to able to read
@@drubo17 never needed to blow on a disc ever lol
Honestly , Mercedes need to release longer videos with Lewis , PLEASE !! 😭
Ferrari will, they'll have contracted him to more media/PR duties than now
@@LiftingLimey ahhhh this is a great point actually 😭 - It's still early days but FORZA FERRARI ! 😉
@LueLuetourJaxa oh, I've mentally checked out of Mercedes for about 4 weeks now 😂
@@LiftingLimey honestly same 😂😭 recent race week results have not phased me even a little bit because the future is looking SO BRIGHT 😭 - 20 more races to go !!
@LueLuetourJaxa I was mainly excited for 2026 but after seeing Ferrari's pace so far and the possible driver moves coming up, next year could be insane!
"i dont remember the box being like this" - a classic self-report of a lil pirate :D
I think it's cos he played the other Formula One 2000 game ... think it was psygnosis :)
It might be because he didn't play F12000 at all. Saying he always chose Kimi means it must have been 2002 or later
@@SOPHiELAWSON There were two EA F1 2000 games for PS1, this one called just F1 2000 and another one called F1 Championship Season 2000.
@@kenlykkeslett7501 would've been on different platform then, there are no F1 games of season later than 2001 on PS1
hahaha
3:17 THROUGH GOES HAMILTON
UNBELIEVABLE STUFF!
@@Reaper-lr8pq HAHAHAHAHA
@@Reaper-lr8pq COMING OUT IN THE FINAL CORNER!
True
2025 we probably gonna add this: THROUGH GOES SETSUNA SCARLET STOOOOOOOOORMMMM~!
0:41 Driver, he knew he is gonna be worldchampion after beating the tutorial mission
The garage mission is the ultimate test for Lewis XD
@@sgmasterbr7629Ren Hazuki and Kanon Shibuya both even still remembered that Tutorial Level in Driver 1 as well.
Its so heart warming to hear Lewis speak about getting a PS1 or a racing helmet. Just utter respect from where his roots lie and made his way top become one of the legends in F1 and got his his well deseirved 'Sir' title as a bonus.
Hamilton still the GOAT.
Lmao people will always buy this sob story. I grew up poor - the idea of having a racing go kart was like science fiction to us. I like Lewis, but this is garbage that people eat up.
@@anthonyreed480 Spot on, same as the race card being pulled. I was into carting but my parents could never spend that much money on the parts, staying away to race and parents missing time from work to help and fees!!! Carting isn't cheap and it's still out of the reach for young male drivers. While the girls/ woman get a free ride and pushed through quicker even if it is just to race in their own league!
@@anthonyreed480 Yes, they weren't near poor. He always exaggerates his story to make him look like he wasn't privileged.
I need a pukke bucket. This guy knows how to use drama to get people to like him.
The fact that he blew on the disc- flashback to my childhood 😂🙌🏾
Exactly 😂😂
I love how he's such a child within!
Ah, yes! Driver, Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot. Takes me back... Good times, simpler times.
Man, I can relate so much to Driver's first story mission in the parking garage. When I was younger, I never could get past the test. Put a lot of hours into the game. Amazing memories!
Qdo alguém queria jogar Driver, me pedia pra passar a primeira missão, era muito legal! Mas nunca consegui fechar o jogo, pois a fase do presidente era dificílima
Brought back a lot of my own memories on playing these games. Him blowing on the disc is such a old school move that countless did. Keep the videos coming fellas
Old games and old screen. For me car games was the best. Old is gold.👌🏻👍🏼❤
Can't beat the classics. Good times!
Back before micro transactions and greed took over gaming lol
@@randybobandy6020 Greed was always there from the get-go, just gotta look at the amount of bootlegs released on PS1 made by obscure studios no one had ever heard of, copying famous franchises just to make a quick buck, or all the FIFA games on PS1 too, all looking the same with just the roster being updated.
So much simpler and just as fun as today’s gaming if not more so
old pc car games like nascar 1 and 2, indycar 1 and 2, grand prix 2 were the glory
Me and Lewis on the same vibe. My absolute favorite promo video ever
Colin McRae Rally 2.0 night stages are nuts
It’s still crazy to me that these drivers still had childhoods like me. Saving up for games, doing chores etc😂😂 I always forget that they’re not all bred like Max Verstappen probably was😂😂lol
Bred like max verstappen was ? This video has nothing to do with verstappen , so why bring him into a video not about him ?
Sir Lewis + Playstation = ❤
Starting with Driver, he is definitely a man of culture and taste 👍
Amazing, Lewis play retro Gran Turismo!!!!
That moment of him saying “playing as Kimi” 😮
But did you connect my drink
there's a nice video of Lewis in 2006 talking outside Kimi's mclaren garage saying how much he respects him
He played as Kimi in F1 games
And then in his first F1 season he has to battle him for the championship
Says "I always play as Kimi", proceeds to play as Mika 😄
@@mgutierrez7737 I know he was a fan of Kimi but where can I find that video?
I don't know why I love Lewis so much😂
He's the best
He’s kind, smart, good at what he does. Used to be a little playboy but has humbled a lot in the last 6-7 years. Would love to talk to him about how he deals with negativity no matter what he does.
Which games did you used to play on your PS1? 😁
Battle Arena Toshinden and Ridge Racer. What I recently discovered though was Castlevania Symphony of the Night!
Gran Turismo 1 and 2 ❤
Tomb raider
Gran Turismo
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dino Crisis. 🖤
It was fun to watch and see more of his personality
Anyone who has played Driver knows what Lewis was in for when he loaded it up first xD hardest first stage of any game
Lewis Hamilton is the goat at gaming
istg Mercedes videos are always so short like wdym this treasure is only 3½ minutes??
💯
Mercedes F1 simply doesn’t know how to market themselves to a broader audience imo. They missed out on so many opportunities.
@@jr6136 Yeah youre right, though that being said I doubt Ferrari will let him do stuff like this.
Personally I think Lewis has a bright future in media in the future, i know he wants to go the music route but he would be so much better on a Car Show like Top Gear or a Twitch game streamer. I think he'd would be better at it than Lando or Charles.
1:50 soo true😂
F1 2001 was my first racing game, the intro cutscene blew me away at the time
Love this side of Lewis
we need longer videos with hamilton plz
so wholesome and relatable for us 90s kids
Exactly 💯
Amazing how good these games look on CRT. I just got a CRT again and playing NES, SNES and stuff is a dream.
F1 2000 brings back so many great memories as a child, used to play it non-stop. Can't forget the Placebo "every me in every you" title screen track :)
That's great music of choice, Brian Molko been rocking hard at time
Same!!! One of the cooler EA soundtracks and they were early with that one.
The F1 theme is also very nostalgic.
The difference between Hamilton's fans and other drivers' fans is that they love him passionately, not just for the driving, they love Hamilton with all their heart. He is without a doubt one of the most popular people in the world.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Be nazaram har che zudtar hamilton bere, behtare baraye hame.
so basically fans of other drivers are sane
I'm massive max fan but like and respect SIR Lewis a lot 🇮🇪💚🏁
@@degeautdfanfirst I love how you're waving an Irish flag while calling Lewis by the title he received from the British royal family, you absolute embarrassment.
@@redfruit1968you are the embarrassment 😳
Driver was so good for its time
It really was...
This makes me like the guy even more.
Imagine watching Lewis playing video games. I would switch my phone off so no one would text and distract me
Of course, priority mode is activated
Wherever and whenever he’s always saying something inspiring and I love that so much!
I love Lewis
Dam that brought back memories 😆. Loved GT and I remember trying [and failing miserably] to do full length races with manual gears on F1 2000 🤣. Cool video 😶👍.
Lewis Hamilton I love you ❤☆♡
Driver and F1 2000..... Great games...that first stage of Driver was legendary!! I used to go back after completing the game just to do that stage... Burn outs, slalom, brake test and hand brake turns ... Oh yes!
Driver 1 and that first mission is the reason why I know what a slalom is...
Desperation & confusion had me as a child searching it up.
F1 2000, GRAN TURISMO 1 & 2, DRIVER 1 & 2, Colin McRae Rally 1 & 2.... Man, all of those childhood games from PS1 are still legendary till this day. I somehow needed 560.000 retries before even beating Driver 1's BRUTALLY DIFFICULT TUTORIAL LEVEL!
Cool kids played Gran Turismo and Driver
Coolest kids played Tony Hawk
@@Cestus1 I played that one too!
@@raisal_ :)
My eyes filled with tears. These are the games that marked my childhood and I still play them even today. Thank you Lewis. ❤
oh boy, I remember how much I struggled with that Garage intro mission in Driver!
The best Driver playing the best console !
This brought me soooo much memories 🔥you are a legend Lewis but you are just like us a simple human 👍god bless
Choosing a Skyline on Trial Mountain, love it :)
Like me, I love spending my time entertaining with both retro and modern video games...
EXCELLENT LEWIS HAMILTON, GREETINGS!!!
😉✌💯
I used to play Driver game in the summer 2001. It was one of my very first Playstation I games. Then I immediately played Driver 2 and it was even more awesome.
Driver II Is basically the predecessor of all GTA, even without the need for weapons. In driver II you could only go out the car and walk around and steal random cars around you. I played also Formula one 2001 on the first Playstation mini.
both legends together
Mind boggling how he now works with Kaz and Polyphony for gran turismo
man i loved all car games especially the classic days in 90s to early or late 2000s even early and late 2010s
my biggest memory playing on a psone is the og gt and ea sports f1 2000 or 2001 my biggest childhood days 👏😄
Did you ever play that F1 pc game that came in Kellogs Frosty Flakes? I always remember that being an awesome game, with the damage and ai
@@sighfly2928 well unfortunately nope though 😅
Great story about the helmet. I didn't know that. I hope they make an epic movie of him one day. (Otherwise I'm making it with AI 😅)
His life is like a Hollywood movie, parts of Hamilton’s story are so downright spectacular & crazy that people wouldn’t believe it that it happened in real life! There HAS to be a movie about him 100%.
This is soo cool Sir Lewis have good taste in games 🤩
I never got out of the tutorial in Driver.... I was so mad I rented it for a week
I beat it on a rental. I was a mad man back then.
I really want to see Sir Lewis Hamilton presented with an old PC and a copy of Microprose Grand Prix 2 - that'll get the nostalgia fires burning!
that opening test mission in driver aint no joke.
Watching any video with Sir Lewis is always such a joy !! 💜
I used to play pretty much the same games as he did .. I’m also from 85 and my first console was the first Nintendo !! 🙌🏼
“Came second”… best finish so far
That first level in driver is notoriously difficult. It was a pain in the ass. Tempted to get it again. I still have my PS1 I got when I was 14 I think in around 1996. Loved that thing
For some reason, LH mentioning rally made life flash before my eyes
Collin McRae was great title, even cockpit view with moving wheel
Man Gran Turismo was so stylish for its time. Even the box and the CD looks cool
Ahead of its time
Lewis going straight for Driver made me smile. Cause i'd do the same thing! 🏁
I remembered I had a V3 wheel and pedal set for Test Drive 5 on PS...Now I have a Moza sim rig set with PC... Crazy how times fly😂
F1 2000 I used to play as Kimi.
Mika:
He's probably referring to the later years rather than F12000
Everything about this is amazing, his reaction to the games, boxes, the load times, the choices of games are epic, mentions of Colin McRae Rally, MK (I wish we had longer so we could see him play all of them) and I have to admit I would love to see Lewis in a Call of Duty VR/fitness rig 😄 the story about his Playstation growing up, the crt television, even the purple carpet is rad! Thank you for putting this together, I'm happy he stuck with taking the Playstation back to get the helmet instead, Lewis is a legend and still inspires me to keep moving forwards every single day 💛💜
If anyone fancies a game on the Playstation sometime ⬇️
gamer-tim
Those are games i've had in my childhood too, damn, i wpuld have thought he would have played some older ones. F1 2000 is a gem.
Ridge racer type 4 is the best racing on ps1, the soundtrack, graphics, the tracks, all in this game are 10/10❤
Missed him in videos like this ♥️
don't worry I didn't get out of the car park on Driver either
This is brilliant. He's sometimes talked about having played old F1 games, playing as Kimi so actually great to see this. Thank you!
My man picked up first Driver, my first PS1 game 🥲
This video just wouldn't be the same without the Rothko in the background. Good job, set designer.
Such a real person. You can easily see how he came from humble beginnings. The 8-time world champion and the GOAT 🐐 of F1!!!
He literally told you two different stories of how he got the Playstation in the same 4 minute video. So real. The realist.
All the games of my childhood! Big Lewis!
I'm digging the new era of F1 drivers having fun during time off.
We need more of this stuff
0:46 👋
I think my first F1 game was F1 '97 on that PlayStation 1. And here I am, now waiting excitedly for your F1 24 game! Keep it up guys!
It's official, LH cannot pass Driver 1 tutorial mission 💀
30 years from playstation in 2024!!!
Happy birthday!!
Gran turismo is this game!!
0:02 - It took me forever to save up to get this Playstation. I think I was washing cars for like 2 years.
1:17 - Got this [the playstation] for Christmas. My parents all put their money together.
Which one is it ?😅
Watch the whole thing again. They returned the PSX he got for Christmas in order to get the new helmet, so he had to work in order to buy PSX himself afterwards.
@@FromWitchSide I guess it makes sense. But how does a kid who has to wash cars for 2 years to afford a PlayStation and can’t afford a paint job, manages a career in Karting ?
@@wordsshackles441 That is because all the money they had they did put into karting, so they tried to save whenever possible, like with the paint job. If I recall it right, Hamilton's father even took a second job to be able to pay the karting bills.
@@FromWitchSide You see, the problem is that this is not how he makes it sound. He makes it sound like they literally couldn't afford a paint job. They literally had to chose between a helmet and a PlayStation.
'Got this [the playstation] for Christmas. My parents all put their money together.'
This sounds like they had to sell limbs in order to afford a Playstation, yet they could afford to push him through a Karting career...
The narrative does not match the facts.
U know what else is from his childhood?
The dream of going to Ferrari!
Mario kart
My mom!!!!!
I grew up playing Mario on Super Nintendo, Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis. Then, it was Goldeneye 007 N64 and StarFox N64. Sega Dreamcast games such as Power Stone and Sonic Adventure. I had Twisted Metal and other games on Playstation 1. Budokai 3 on Playstation 2 and lots of other games. I'm an animator now. I worked at Pixar Animation Studios as an intern in Summer 2019. That was the most amazing place I had ever been to.
Thankyou Lewis&Mercedes for everything🖤🩶 what a road it was to see
That blow made the disc worth at least a million😮😮😅😅
03:20
Gran Turismo AI driver: I've got taken out by my own teammate
For me, retro has always been something from the 60s and 70s, but now retro is already the 20s, my childhood, all these games, as if it were yesterday... Damn, time flies so fast
my favorite pilot. return win lewis!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish he did the Virtual GP’s in 2020 & 2021 lol
No Cap me too I bought my first PlayStation by washing cars and my favorite game was Gran Turismo big up Sir Lewis Hamilton
I miss those days when I was full of curiosity and turning on my PlayStation 2 was like diving into an exciting dream world. As I'm getting older and used to everything now, it will never be the same again...

Yes
You?
Having made the same question I think I know
Winning?
Esclavismo ?
My mans a Nintendo fan... Respect! First GT and Colin McRae were on such another level to the racing games that came before them. Mario Kart SNES + 64 and CTR amazing for more arcade multiplayer fun!
Suprised to see this. A really nice nostalgia trip. Love the accurate set up.
bro beating the Driver tutorial is worthy of a golden medal
