Will Smith and meme trends are the closest allies when it comes to the actor’s friend list. And knowing his cutting-edge comedic parlance, his hopping on the bandwagon of Lewis Hamilton memes is not at all surprising. Rather, Smith’s face-shifting of Hamilton’s visage with his own from the Bad Boys II freeway chase sequence can already take the meme of the year award with the popular choice without a doubt.

The actor shared the meme in a reel format on his Instagram with a bonus cheeky caption. Smith wrote cracking on his own comic ways, Hahaha @lewishamilton pulling up for the 2025 season 😂”. While initially, one could have made peace with the fact from a far-off sight that it could be a fresh Bad Boys teaser but instead, he made the picture quite transparent to evoke an imagination of Lewis Hamilton pulling up in a Ferrari for the next season.
