Lewis Hamilton reckons he’s in pole ­position to speed ahead in a new career – as a musician. The world Formula One champ has been tuning up more than just his Mercedes as he has ten years of his own songs recorded and ready to roll. Writing on Instagram, Lewis, 35, also revealed he was the mysterious rapper XNDA, who had featured on Christina Aguilera’s song Pipe two years ago.

The grand Prix maestro wrote on a social media: “Guys, I’ve spent the last ten years or more writing and recording, working with some of the most talented and beautiful people, which I’m so grateful for. It’s been the most incredible outlet. “I haven’t got a project or album, just a bunch of different songs that some of you will be able to ­connect to. They have helped me get through some of the most difficult times.
