Lewis Hamilton tries his hand at wrestling ahead of Mexico grand prix (Video)

You can't beat the champ

Simon Lloyd

Fresh from becoming Britain’s first ever back-to-back Formula 1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton has swapped the race track for the ring.

Ahead of the Mexican grand prix, Hamilton was visiting the Lucha Libre event in the imaginatively-named Arena Mexico.

In this video shot from the crowd, he can be seen taking to the ring alongside wrestlers Mephisto and Mistico before the crowd begin chanting his name.

This weekend’s race will be the first time F1 has returned to Mexico in over two decades but we’re unsure when Lewis will be returning to the ring.

Still, an impressive body-slam, nonetheless.
