While Lewis Hamilton is in Las Vegas getting ready for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, millions of players of the game Fortnite can use him in the world-famous game Fornite. With this, the seven-time world champion joins an illustrious list of celebrities such as footballers like Neymar Jr, Harry Kane and NFL star Patrick Mahomes.

Hamilton also to be admired in Fortnite today

Fortnite is an online computer game that became immensely popular with almost all types of gamers at the end of 2017. From 2019 onwards, the numbers plummeted, but last November, the numbers rose incredibly again. This was because creator Epic Games had released a season where the game was exactly as it was in 2017 again. This created nostalgia among players.

In the game, you can also, for a fee, play with famous names. Your character then gets the exact look of that person. Besides other athletes mentioned in the introduction, there are also quite a few musicians in the game. Players can control Ariana Grande and Travis Scott, among others. And so now also Hamilton. From 17 November, you can buy Hamilton in the game's online shop. Watch the introductory video of Hamilton and the world-famous game here.
