*A statue of race car standout Lewis Hamilton, the first black Formula 1 driver, was unveiled Wednesday at London's Madame Tussauds waxworks museum.
"He 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," said a spokesperson for the attraction.
Hamilton became the youngest ever Formula One world champion last year in only his second season, beating Felipe Massa to the crown on the last corner of the last race.
His wax look-a-like has him in full racing kit and holding a replica of his race helmet. It took approximately six months to create and cost $ 210,000.
As previously reported, Hamilton was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) earlier this month.

looks like a HERNDON! Is it me or do African Americans dominate every sport and extreme sport we get into? Just an observation...
