Lewis Hamilton swaps his Formula One racing car for a scooter as he attends a Grand Prix preview day at Silverstone

Lewis Hamilton swapped his Formula One racing car for a scooter when he attended a Grand Prix preview day at Silverstone on Thursday. 

The 34-year-old proved he has a need for speed as he sped around the site, rather than walked. 

He had on a rather low-key outfit in stark contrast to some of his recent looks he has been sporting.

The bash was held at Asian-inspired restaurant TAO in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.

The Miami-based brunette, whose social media account has garnered a shopping 1million followers, is a businesswoman in her own right.

She's launched her own lingerie line — and she once served as a jet mechanic in the US Navy.

Lewis is widely considered as one of the most successful British drivers in history, and is said to be worth a whopping £187million. 

And earlier in the week, Lewis showed off his wealth as he took his $1.2 million (£1million) Ferrari sports car out for a spin after Kevin's big do.  

Lewis is said to have purchased his LaFerrari - a hybrid supercar - back in March 2015. 

The LaFerrari model is one of the most prestigious cars in the Ferrari collection and limited to a very small number of models. 

Lewis' outing comes after the Mercedes driver revealed he wants to continue racing for at least another five years.

The hunk revealed he aims to race until he's 38 – the same age seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher was when he first retired.
