Have you won the Formula One World Championship twice, by any chance? No, you haven’t, Lewis Hamilton did. At least he is the one to do it most recently. As opposed to the good, old days, however, that seems to give him the right to turn racing into some type of show business.
“I want to race for you one day... I want to race for McLaren,” ten-year-old Hamilton told McLaren team principal Ron Dennis at the Autosport Awards ceremony, back in December 1995. Ever since, racing was the only thing he could think of; the 30-year-old F1 ace is now next to the sport’s best drivers such as Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher. It’s ambition, talent and bits of luck that took him so far, and we can’t but hope he’s not going to ruin all that for the average celebrity show off.

The first black driver in Formula One, how people often call him, is currently into some celebrity rebirth, always adding some fame flavor to his Mercedes AMG Petronas gigs. This time around, Hamilton is looking back into his other passion that is set for making music, apparently. He didn't quite make it to releasing that hip-hop album we were telling you about a while ago, but he’s getting there.

Drifting, revving the engine, the sound of a severe brake and so forth, all these are sounds that were recorded in the studio along some regular beats. That’s pretty much how the song sounds like if you can call the “The Soundtrack of F1” an actual song. It’s rather an experimental type of music, one you’d hear in failed Goa festivals if you want, but that doesn’t mean it won’t make a lot of the Formula One enthusiasts upload it to their smartphones soon.

Meanwhile, here we are, once again wondering what ever happened to pure driving; no music, no celebrity pictures, just proper Formula One action. Where did all these go?
