Bio

Lewis Hamilton, the famously sleek and seriously fast #2 Grand Touring Sports champion, has been a determined and winning racer for nearly his entire young life. Like all youngster cars, Lewis spent his childhood going to school, taking karate lessons and winning the British Karting Championship by the age of 10. Today, the celebrated native Brit continues to bring an exceptional work ethic and soft-spoken confidence to the race course where his extraordinary achievements speak for themselves via a spotless track record on the junior and professional circuits. With his striking metallic black and yellow paint scheme, Lewis will represent Great Britain at the World Grand Prix. His car also carries the flag of Grenada, home to his family who emigrated to Britain in the 1950s. His unrivaled technical skills, natural speed ability and cool, karate-inspired attitude make him a powerful contender too.

He first appears with Jeff Gorvette at the World Grand Prix opening ceremony in Tokyo, where they meet Lightning McQueen. When they notice Mater, he was wondering who he was with. He then later appears with the other World Grand Prix racers when Mater is drinking from the fountain after having too much wasabi, which he thought was pistachio ice cream.

Lewis was seen at the Porto Corsa race behind Jeff Gorvette. He along with Jeff were the only cars who did not crash into Shu Todoroki. When the race begins in London, he was seen in 4th position. In the race in Radiator Springs, he and Jeff were in each other's positions.
