Lewis Hamilton Wax Statue Unveiled At Madame Tussauds MuseumHere’s a good news for Lewis Hamilton fans.

The wax statue of Formula one champion Lewis Hamilton was unveiled at Madame Tussauds Museum on Wednesday (March 18).

A spokeswoman of Madame Tussauds said, “He (Lewis Hamilton) has undoubtedly won a place in the nation's hearts for his determination and single mindedness and a place at Madame Tussauds for an amazing track record.”

It is learnt that it took nearly 6 months to create Hamilton’s wax costing 150,000-pounds.

At present, the British Formula One racing driver is racing for the McLaren Mercedes team.

In his first season in Formula One, the 24 year old Hamilton set many records and finished second in the 2007 Formula One Championship, just one point behind Kimi Räikkönen.

However, in 2008, Hamilton became the youngest ever Formula One World Champion (only in his second season), defeating Brazilian Felipe Massa by a single point.

He has already made it clear that he wants to stay with the McLaren team for the rest of his F1 career.

Earlier this month, Hamilton was awarded with an MBE.
