Beyoncé Calls Lewis Hamilton the ‘Best to Ever Do It’ After Meeting F1 Champion With Jay-Z in Las Vegas

Before it was lights out at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix over the weekend, Beyoncé and Jay-Z linked up with Lewis Hamilton on the track — after which the Destiny’s Child alum gassed up the racing champion on Instagram.

On Tuesday (Nov. 25) — two days after the big race — Bey shared a carousel of photos of herself and Jay chatting with Hamilton, who took the 35-time Grammy winner on a drive around the circuit in a Ferrari model. The musical power couple was all smiles while chatting with the seven-time world champion, with Bey showing up and out in a glamorous F1-inspired jumpsuit.

“Love and gratitude to the best to ever do it! Lewis Hamilton #44!” she praised the driver, who would go on to place eighth in the Vegas Grand Prix. Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen finished first, followed respectively by George Russell and Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes.

Bey also shared videos of herself strutting through Sin City and enjoying the race-weekend offerings, as well as a clip of Hamilton driving her on the track captioned, “Give it to Mama!”

She and Jay were just two of the many A-listers who were present at the event in Vegas, which seems to attract more and more stars each year. Travis Scott was also on the ground, as were Cynthia Erivo, Magic Johnson, Brooks Nader, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gordon Ramsay, Ciara and Ben Affleck.

Their attendance goes to show how large F1’s presence in culture has become in recent years. Earlier this fall, everyone from Adele to Shaboozey, Matthew McConaughey, Jay Leno and Glen Powell descended on Austin, Texas, to watch the U.S. Grand Prix, which featured live performances from Kygo, Garth Brooks and the Turnpike Troubadours. In June, an original F1 movie starring Brad Pitt — and featuring a star-studded soundtrack — premiered in theaters.

“The whole thing is a show,” Williams Racing’s Alex Albon told Billboard on site at the time “It’s entertainment, and I think if you can get these huge stars coming to these races, it just makes the weekend and the day so much better.”
