Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton<\/a> has shown that his talents aren’t limited to Formula 1, in a new video with Ferrari<\/a> team-mate Charles Leclerc<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nHamilton has had a difficult start to life as a Ferrari driver, only picking up 31 points from the opening five grands prix weekends, and sitting down in seventh in the drivers’ championship.<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n

\nTeam-mate Leclerc has beaten Hamilton in every full-length race this season, while he has also outqualified Hamilton on four occasions to one. <\/p>\n

\nOnly a sprint race victory has given Hamilton reason to smile on-track, but he and Leclerc seem to be getting along swimmingly off-track, recently admitting to late night chess sessions<\/a><\/b> and playing a starring role in a number of Ferrari YouTube videos. <\/p>\n

\nNow, the pair have been caught in a wholesome new release trying to work out sums in a video<\/a> with Ferrari team partner CEVA Logistics. <\/p>\n

\nWhile seeking to work out the carbon dioxide emissions released by an aeroplane, the pair ended up with different answers, much to Leclerc’s amusement. <\/p>\n

\nLeclerc confidently stated: “So the CO2, that’s 3545 kilos per 100 kilometres, so 3545 times 100…” <\/p>\n

\nThe Monegasque driver tailed off, before Hamilton jumped in to save him: “No that’s 13,359 kilos divided by 100.” <\/p>\n

\nLeclerc clearly found his lack of maths skills funny, bursting into laughter before proclaiming: “Yes! That’s exactly it!” <\/p>\n

\nFerrari are currently sat down in fourth in the constructors’ championship<\/a><\/b>, but Leclerc’s brilliant third-place finish at last weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix<\/a><\/b> has given the team an injection of confidence. <\/p>\n

\nHowever, that result also means that the 27-year-old now sits 16 points ahead of his seven-time world champion team-mate, up in fifth in the standings. <\/p>\n
