Within a 90-second time limit, players have to fit in a burnout, 360-degree turn, 180-degree reverse turn, a brake test, and a lap of the racing course. There's little room to mess up too, as the player is only allowed three strikes within that time frame. It's a non-skippable tutorial, and if you can't complete it, you're cruelly unable to progress any further in the game.
In a video posted on the Mercedes-AMG F1 YouTube channel, Hamilton tries numerous times to get past the first stage to no avail. Firstly, he wrecks his car. Then, he runs out of time. 'Damn it, I can't get past the first stage,' he said.
[Hamilton] fared a little better in other retro racing games like F1 2000 and Gran Turismo. '[It's] crazy to be in games because I remember I used to play F1 2000 for example, and the ones before,' Hamilton shared.
Hamilton recalled a childhood memory where he had to choose between a Playstation, gifted by his parents, and a new helmet. Opting for the helmet due to a love for racing, he traded the console to afford a helmet paint job.
