F1 world champ honoured with place in wax museum
Lewis Hamilton is the latest star to be turned into a waxwork by Madame Tussauds. This week, the F1 world champion underwent 300 measurements in view of becoming part of the famous museum’s “Sports Zone” in 2009.
Many digital photos of Lewis wearing his McLaren racing overalls were also taken for reference, and other details, such as the colour of his eyes, were noted.
Hamilton’s wax double will reportedly cost £150,000, although it’s too early to say if the new model will be injected with as much personality as the original.

Shame they couldn’t have called me to take his measurements.
I would love you to meet him and then say he has no personality. He is brimful of charisma!

Did you know you can get Lewis Hamilton stamps from the Isle of Man PO - it is a bit complicated re. posting stuff (you have to send the letter to the IOM and then they will send on your LH stamped letter), but it’s worth it. The stamps are great and I’ve already put in my order. http://www.gov.im/post/
