They got up to staggering speeds during the lap
THE stars were out in force as Formula One rolled into Las Vegas.
And uber celebs such as Beyonce and Jay Z were among the A-listers taking in the events as motorsport’s most glamorous racing series visited town.
Beyonce, 44, was given a special treat as she was taken around F1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix circuit by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton for a hot lap in a scarlet red Ferrari.
She was certainly dressed for the occasion in a custom-made Louis Vuitton red, white and black leather suit with a gold crystal LVM logo and black aviator-style sunglasses, red gloves and black boots.
The Single Ladies singer appeared out of breath after reportedly reaching speeds of 200mph.
A video shared on F1’s social media pages showed Hamilton, 40, and Beyonce embrace in a hug after the lap.
Meanwhile, she shared a video of herself getting in the car to her Instagram page alongside the caption: “Give it to mama”.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “HOT THANG!!!!!!”
A second said: “We got the green light.”
The official F1 account added: “LOVE.”
Hamilton, Beyonce and Jay Z, 55, were all seen enjoying a chat after the hot lap.
They also posed for pictures on the grid alongside Travis Scott and Michael Rubin.
As the evening arrived for Hamilton and Co to go racing full-throttle behind the wheel of their F1 cars, Beyonce arrived alongside husband Jay Z sporting a striking red Ferrari outfit.
Hamilton qualified dead last for the first time in his F1 career before enjoying an impressive start in the race to get himself into the points.
He finished P10 in the original order, but thanks to disqualifications for McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri who had finished P2 and P4, Hamilton moved up to P8.
After the race he bemoaned his “worst ever season” in F1 during what is his first term with Ferrari – F1’s most iconic and successful team.
With just two races to go the Brit is facing down the unwanted record of failing to score a podium in a season for the first time in his career, which started in 2007.
He will have the race weekends in Qatar and Abu Dhabi to prevent that from coming to pass, but with Ferrari often looking way off the pace of rivals it could prove to be a tall order.
