Jude Bellingham admitted to Lewis Hamilton that he cannot drive in a promotional film for EA Sports FC 27, released ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. In the clip, Hamilton asked the Real Madrid midfielder: "Do you know how to drive, like in real life?" Bellingham replied, laughing: "No, no licence, it's really bad."
Hamilton teases Bellingham's age
Hamilton, a seven-time Formula One world champion, then pointed out: "You're 23!" while laughing, before Bellingham added: "You sound like my mum." The two British sporting heroes met as part of the promotional film for the game, which launches later this month.
Bellingham is one of several Real Madrid stars present at the Madring circuit, which runs past the club's Valdebebas training camp, for the race on Sunday. He arrived early in the paddock with his brother Jobe, who plays for Borussia Dortmund in Germany.
Real Madrid contingent at the Madring
He will be joined by team-mates including England international Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ballon D'Or nominees Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr., and head coach Jose Mourinho. Former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is also present, as is ex-Galactico David Beckham, who attended Friday's practice and stood in the McLaren garage. Bernardo Silva, who joined from Manchester City in the summer, is also a guest of the McLaren team.
The Madrid players are enjoying a day off after their 4-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday night. Bellingham scored, while Mbappe netted twice and Alvaro Carreras also got on the scoresheet.
Real Madrid's season and Hamilton's F1 title hopes
Under Mourinho, who returned in the summer for a second spell in charge, Real Madrid have won four and lost one of their first five La Liga games, with the defeat away at Real Betis. They are second in the standings, level on points with Barcelona, who play Levante this afternoon and are looking to preserve their perfect league record.
In F1, Hamilton is third in the drivers' championship but 76 points adrift of leader Kimi Antonelli heading into the Madrid race, and has qualified two places behind the Mercedes star.
