Hamilton drives a Ferrari and it goes badly wrong!

That'll teach him for driving a car of his rivals! Lewis Hamilton took to the streets of Malibu in his brand-new Ferrari at the weekend, however the Formula 1 World Championship leader was left red-faced after it broke down and had to be towed away.

Mercedes' reliability has helped Hamilton lead the Scuderia's Sebastian Vettel in the drivers' standings after six races.

And a potential move to Maranello might have been scuppered after Hamilton had to sit and wait for roadside assistance when he was behind the wheel of a machine with the prancing horse.

Hamilton was reportedly set for a lunch meeting with American music personality Corey Gamble, but his transport let him down.

The four-time world champion was travelling in a limited-edition LaFerrari Aperta, reportedly worth $10million.

I’ve missed his LaF coupe countless times over the years, but here’s @lewishamilton’s Laferrari Aperta on its first outing.

Lo and behold, Hamilton's first trip in his new ride would be fated.

Check out the video below, as Hamilton has to wait for a tow truck, before seeing his new toy carted away for repairs.

Stick to a silver arrow next time, Lewis!
