The New Indian Express: BANGALORE: British Formula 1 McLaren Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton stepped up the gas to vroom, zoom and send more than 15,000 of his fans into a frenzy on a mini F1 400-metre race track on NICE road on Tuesday morning. The 26-year-old Hamilton zipped, turned and twisted in his F1 MP4-23 car which won him his maiden F1 World Championship in 2008. After a couple of laps when he set the hearts pounding as he stepped up the pedal and the decibel levels rose, Lewis drove along side some of the winners of the contest in the hot laps. Hamilton was virtually mobbed as he drove the F1 car a second time for the benefit of late-comers. People even got onto the tracks forcing Hamilton to stop and then drive away. Apart from swaying the car zig-zag and going in circles with the front wheel locked, while rear tyres turned rapidly emitting thick smoke, Lewis displayed some breathtaking stunts, including back-up spin over (reversing, tucking around and straightening) with a deafening sound. The atmosphere at the NICE road was electrifying to say the least.Read Full: Vroom time for Hamilton | The New Indian Express
