VIDEO: Ride on-board with Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes' W196!

Mercedes' track day at Silverstone to celebrate 125 years in motorsport looked like an epic event, but this has to be one of the absolute highlights - Lewis Hamilton driving the title-winning W196. Luckily we can go on-board with the champ to find out for ourselves!

The car competed in the 1954 and 1955 seasons, helping Juan Manuel Fangio to titles in each year.

Stirling Moss also got behind the wheel of this beast, which competed in 12 races, winning nine and helping fill 17 podium spots in that time!

Paint us just about every shade of green as jealousy takes a hold while watching this amazing footage.

Enjoy!
