Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has shared a video of himself displaying his skydiving skills in a daring solo jump off a SkyDive Dubai plane.

Hamilton also revealed that he has been "learning to skydive" for the past few years now.

The 36-year-old, apart from learning the guitar, has also been trying his hand at skydiving and learning to perform new stunts.

Hamilton posted a video in which he can be seen trying to perform a few stunts while skydiving in Dubai. He revealed that this was the first time he tried to fly on his back.

In a clip posted to Instagram on Sunday, the British racing ace can be seen jumping off a plane over the Dubai desert unassisted. He performs a number of flips and manoeuvres as the cameraman, who seems to be his instructor, appears to guide him.

"I’ve been learning to skydive over the past couple years. It’s one of my favourite things to do in my spare time. This is me trying for the first time flying on my back of which I was useless at lol," the British racing driver captioned his post.

An image taken from a video grab shows Lewis Hamilton jumping off the plane.

Hamilton also has plans to try his luck in acting after saying goodbye to Formula One career.

“I would like to act one day. I want to be the best, in everything I do, I want to be the best, to do the best I can,” he told DAZN F1.

“So, if I’m going to do a film I’ll go to classes, I’ll study and make sure I express the emotions like I should.

“I don’t have the time right now, so I guess it’s something I’ll do when I retire.”
