Inspired by Hamilton’s viral videos, which began in 2022 when he navigated the neon-lit streets of Tokyo in a rented Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, Norris appears to be following suit.

The original video showcased Hamilton weaving through traffic before performing donuts until his gearbox gave out, leaving smoke pouring from the transmission tunnel. Despite the controversy surrounding speeding and damage to the rental car, Hamilton continued the tradition the following year.
