8 Irresistible Film Cameos By Sportsmen

4. Lewis Hamilton - Cars 2

Cars may not be Pixar€™s finest film franchise, but it does contain some lovely little cameos from well-renowned racing drivers. In the first Cars, Michael Schumacher was the headline act. In Cars 2, Hamilton is one of a number of superstar racing drivers added to the bill. The English release has Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton, who appears in car form as a sleek and shiny McLaren F1 looking thing. His motor vehicle doppelganger even has that little gap between his two front teeth. Hamilton€™s involvement in this film went beyond going into a studio and speaking into a microphone; he even helped to design the car he lends his voice to. The German, French and Spanish releases feature Sebastian Vettel, Jacques Villeneuve and Fernando Alonso, three other championship winning drivers. No doubt Kimi Raikkonen and Jensen Button will be sat at their computers in between races, browsing the Pixar forums desperately looking for news of a Cars 3 going into production, hoping they too might get the call up.
