Racing's $60 Million Dollar Man

by Sportsbiz

Lewis Hamilton is poised to make history. In two weeks, he is favored to become the youngest and first rookie to win the Formula One Championship. If he does, he will also become the first black man to do so. As a result, and due to his personality, he stands to earn as much as $60 million in endorsements, more than two to three times as much as his competitors. They don't call him racing's Tiger Woods for nothing.

Lewis has been nothing but amazing this season. I believe he has signed a new contract with McLaren as well.

He should have done it in Shanghai, but he did a Coulthard. The fact that he is black means nothing.

BTW, if you're tagging this as "Grand Prix of Brasil", it should really be "Brazilan Grand Prix", or "Gran Premio do Brasil". Just for future reference!

"Grande Prêmio do Brasil" in Portuguese, Alex. For once I thought I could tell you how to spell!

It will a lot more than $60 million even if he loses the title. It has been reported his earnings could reach £1 Billion in just a few seasons. He already gets a bomb from Tag Heuer.
