Hamilton to act in Disney film 'Cars2'

Former Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton is going to appear in the forthcoming Disney animated film Cars 2.

Hamilton revealed that he would be playing "a seriously fast Grand Touring Sports champion" and "powerful contender", according to the studio.

The car, which has a Union Jack motif, will represent Britain in the World Grand Prix, the Daily Express reports.

And the makers hope Switzerland resident Hamilton may be able to make the British premiere in July as it is set to be held just days after the Grand Prix at Silverstone.
