Hamilton the hit maker |
Lewis Hamilton has been hitting the high notes in Formula 1 during the past 18 months and the British star has taken his racing talents to the music studios.
A keen musician
himself, the Brit has co-produced a track called 'The Soundtrack' which fuses
his two passions of driving and music together.
In collaboration
with music producer Spinz Beats, and presented by Bose, the 30-year-old's piece
of work is inspired by the sounds of his Mercedes F1 car alongside some RnB
instrumentals - creating an experimental vibe.
Aside from the sounds of his Mercedes, the reigning F1 world champion's track is accompanied with voice over dubs from his race mechanics.
'Music is one of the
most important things in my life,' Hamilton said in a behind the scenes video
of 'The Soundtrack.'
Music is my escape.
I can't train without music,' he added.
The Stevenage-born
driver is clearly happy with the end result as he hugs Spinz Beats while
referring to the track as 'sick'.
I have always wanted
to emulate Ayrton and I am one race away from the amount of races he did and
the amount he won.
'Naturally it feels
pretty amazing and that was my goal as a kid. As a kid I set my goal and mind
on something, and I achieved it on so many different things along the way.
'Now I set my mind
on that particular goal and I am very close. I don't feel any added pressure
this weekend but I imagine if I was to achieve the same amount at some stage it
would be very emotional.'
