Lewis Hamilton is set to open a vegan burger restaurant in London on September 2nd. His new place will be called Neat Burger. With this, the five-time Formula 1 world champion is hoping to promote a more sustainable lifestyle which he has been following for several years.

This will add to Hamilton's busy schedule. With a 22 race 2020 F1 season and a fashion brand to balance. For this new burger chain, Hamilton has partnered with The Cream Group and Beyond Meat investor Tommaso Chiabra.

The British driver states that he wants to support such 'ethical practices'. This comes just days after his Instagram post about saving the Amazon Forest from the current fires.

It is devastating to see our world suffer. The Amazon rainforest is burning at a record rate and there have been 80% more fires this year compared to last. Scientist refer to the Amazon as the earths lungs as it produces 20% of the oxygen we breath. More than a soccer field is being destroyed every minute everyday, the world needs to come together and help. If you haven’t already, please post about it, it is vital we continue to spark action. @unitednations if there is anything I can do, I’m ready to help in anyway I can. #healtheworld #brazil #pray
