David Beckham must have been feeling nervous as he sat in the passenger seat of a car – with son Brooklyn at the wheel.

The 17-year-old posted a shot on Instagram as he took David for a drive, captioned: “The face of a dad that’s almost 41 being driven around by his little boy (not so little).”

His former footballer dad is shown with a scowl on his face.

Later, Brooklyn posted a photo of himself with one hand on the wheel, striking a casual pose.

He wrote: “Country here I come.”

Brooklyn has clearly inherited his father’s love of driving, as it has been less than two months since his 17th birthday.

David is reportedly the owner of a Cadillac Escalade, a Jeep Wrangler and a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, while Brooklyn already owns a Mercedes A-Class.

On his birthday, Brooklyn posted on Instagram: “Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes… Looking forward to my first driving lesson.”
