Did Lewis Hamilton feature in the movie Cars 2? What Role did he play?

Mercedes F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton is widely regarded as one of the living legends in the Motorsports world. The Briton has won 7 Formula One World Championship titles with 103 race wins and 182 podiums, the highest in the sport. Hamilton will partner with rookie George Russell for the 2022 season.

Lewis Hamilton has been subject to racist abuse throughout his career. Being the first and only Black Formula One driver to date he is a beacon of hope for many underprivileged children who dare to do a similar feat in fields of their liking. The seven-time world champion is a prominent advocate against racism and inclusivity in motorsport.

The Mercedes driver has been quite active outside the race track too with his activism efforts. But not many know that Hamilton has also featured in one of the most famous Car racing movies – the 2011’s Disney Pixar’s Cars 2.
