Charles Leclerc’s hilarious reaction as Lewis Hamilton pushes Ferrari Luce in first drive video
Ferrari’s official reveal of the new Ferrari Luce delivered more than polished marketing visuals and carefully crafted design messaging—it also gave fans an unexpectedly funny glimpse into the dynamic between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
During the first official drive of Ferrari’s all-electric model, one particular moment quickly stood out. With Lewis Hamilton behind the wheel and the Monegasque in the passenger seat, what began as a light-hearted exchange rapidly turned into a scene many fans will probably replay more than once.
Charles Leclerc’s reaction steals the Ferrari Luce video
As Lewis Hamilton began pushing harder in the Ferrari Luce, Charles Leclerc initially sounded impressed.
“You were pushing like crazy!” the Monegasque remarked.
But seconds later, the mood changed dramatically: “WOAHH! NONONONONO! Please don’t do that! LH, LH, LH, LH! Careful, careful, careful here!” Charles Leclerc shouted, clearly caught off guard as Lewis Hamilton burst into laughter behind the wheel.
Lewis Hamilton, seemingly enjoying every second of the moment, responded with laughter rather than lifting immediately, making the exchange even funnier.
Charles Leclerc’s final plea? “WOAH! LH!! STOP LAUGHING!!”
Ferrari Luce shows surprising performance credentials
While the moment was clearly playful, it may also have revealed something interesting about Ferrari’s electric future. Despite ongoing debate surrounding the Ferrari Luce’s styling and what it represents for the Prancing Horse, the clip suggests the car may still deliver the kind of acceleration and performance drama Ferrari fans expect—even without the soundtrack of a traditional V8 or V12 engine.
If even a Formula 1 driver like Charles Leclerc can be startled from the passenger seat, Ferrari may have quietly delivered a strong statement about the Luce’s capabilities.
Electric performance cars often face criticism for lacking emotion compared to internal combustion machines, but instant torque remains one of their strongest weapons. Moments like this hint that Ferrari intends to make sure the emotional side of driving is not lost in the transition.
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc help launch Ferrari’s electric era
Having Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc front the reveal was always going to bring global attention, but spontaneous moments like this make the launch feel far more authentic.
Instead of a perfectly scripted unveiling, Ferrari fans got a glimpse of genuine chemistry between the team’s two Formula 1 stars—and perhaps an early hint that the Ferrari Luce is faster than some expected.
Whatever opinion fans may hold about Ferrari’s first electric car, one thing is certain: Charles Leclerc’s reaction has already become one of the most entertaining moments of the reveal.
