Lewis Hamilton in NASCAR? Even though it’s not a reality coming into 2022, there were chances that the F1 Maestro could have switched the sport. The seven-time world champion not only had the interest to drive in NASCAR but also make a cameo in the much popular Talladega Nights 2 movie.

Talking about this in 2017, the Briton asserted, “I’m fully committed to F1 at the moment, but I think at some point in the future I might do, like, a guest appearance.”
“But if Puma (Lewis Hamilton is a Puma brand ambassador) did it, I think it would look sick.”
“We could make it look so cool. So, yeah, I can’t rule it out at the moment. I also just want to make an appearance in Talladega Nights 2, and I think I’d have to be in NASCAR for that.”
