Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc had good fun testing the Ferrari F80. So much so that the Briton gave his teammate a 'headache'. In the video shared by the Italians, their two Formula 1 drivers, Hamilton and Leclerc got to test their new road car. First, it was the Monegasque driver behind the steering wheel. He later added he took it easy on Hamilton on his run.

After Leclerc, it was Hamilton's turn, and the Briton immediately pushed the pedal to the metal. When reacting to the car after they got back to the pit lane, Leclerc also mentioned that the seven-time world champion did not hesitate to push the F80.
"Very nice, but I've got a headache. I was trying to be nice with you. I was not pushing too much. He went flat out." Afterwards, Leclerc got the chance to get back at his teammate as well.
The Ferrari F80 is a limited-edition, hybrid supercar from the Italian brand.
It serves as the successor to the LaFerrari and it was designed to celebrate the company's 80th anniversary. The car has a plug-in hybrid powertrain featuring a twin-turbo V6 engine, has 1184 horsepower, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2.2 seconds.
Only 799 F80s will be created, with production expected to commence this year.
Both drivers would love to add such a Ferrari F80 to their collection, and Leclerc has reportedly already ordered a black model.
