WWE makes special title belt for F1 champion Lewis Hamilton

Related Topics: Lewis Hamilton, WWE

ABU DHABI -- Lewis Hamilton is the 2017 Formula One world champion -- and that's the bottom line, because World Wrestling Entertainment has made him a belt to prove it.

Mercedes driver Hamilton wrapped up his fourth F1 title at the Mexican Grand Prix in October. The Englishman has enjoyed a record-breaking year which saw him move past Michael Schumacher's previous benchmark for most pole positions. His title success means he now has the sam career titles as Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost, trailing only Juan Manuel Fangio (5) and Schumacher (7).

Hamilton is yet to collect his F1 trophy, which traditionally has been given to winners at a post-season gala, but it appears he will have another bit of gold to go with it.
