Lewis on display at Tower Bridge

A huge portrait of Lewis Hamilton is now on show near Tower Bridge in Ye Olde Londontown. It’s on display throughout the crunch weekend of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Go and see it - say a little prayer for Lil’ Lewis, or, if you’re a Spanish racist, spit at it.

The portrait was commissioned by Reebok and made by Birmingham-based artist Ian Cook, who used small, radio-controlled cars to paint on the 12m x 8m canvas. Check out a pic of Ian posing in front of his masterpiece:

“I did that!”

And even his car is sponsored by Reebok. Aw, cute.
