Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he’s set to make his cinematic debut. The McLaren F1 driver has a cameo role in Disney Pixar’s animated sequel to its popular Cars film.

Following in the footsteps of Michael Schumacher, who appeared as a Ferrari F430 in 2006’s original Cars movie, Lewis Hamilton has revealed on his Twitter page this his character will be based on the new McLaren MP4-12C.

Hamilton posted “Hey guys, big news -- I'm going to be in Disney Pixar's Cars2! Take a look at my car... This is wicked;)”

As with the original film, Cars 2 features racing car Lightening McQueen, voiced by Owen Wilson, and his friend Mater the tow truck.

But while the original film was set in the US, Cars 2 adds Japan and Europe, as Lightening McQueen competes in the first-ever World Grand Prix, which 'Hamilton' also takes part in.

Cars 2 is directed by John Lasseter, and is released in cinemas in July. It will also be released in 3D.
