F1 driver turned male model: Lewis Hamilton poses for new McLaren shoe line
Lewis Hamilton is finding that there's more to life than being a really, really ridiculously good driver. Like male modeling. While we don't think Lewis will make a career of it, he actually did a pretty good job posing for the new McLaren shoe line recently launched as part of its lifestyle collection. The line includes four different shoes, from a laced shoe suitable for everyday use to full driving boots. Interestingly, none of the shots show him actually wearing the shoes on his feet, but we don't think that was the point. So now we have to ask... who would win in a walk-off? Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso?

No, no, AB. You will need at least 4 other Greek car commercials to make up for this.

The 2007 model shoes are just Ferrari Puma's. Stepney handed over the designs to McLaren.
