Hamilton turns musician, records R&B tracks

London: British Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton has discovered a new passion - he has been secretly recording R&B music.

The 26-year-old is recording songs in a studio that has also been used by singers Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue in the past and it`s being said his music is not for commercial release. According to the contactmusic.com, Hamilton has hired the entire recording complex to ensure that nobody sees the recording process and leaks the news to the press. Seems like Hamilton is inspired by his ex-girlfriend, Pussycat Dolls singer and "The X Factor" judge Nicole Scherzinger. IANS
