LEWIS Hamilton is usually in the driving seat . . . but when it comes to steering a path to pop glory he’s happy to take a back seat.
The four-time Formula 1 champ has teamed up with mega-successful Jess Glynne for his own records, which he has been quietly working on for years.

In an exclusive interview, she said: “I do know Lewis, he’s cool, he’s so lovely.
“We talk every now and then and he’s a really cool guy. I have been in the studio doing some music with him actually. He loves music and he’s a really talented guy in all walks of life.
“I know he’s really into doing his own thing musically though. And I know when he does release stuff you’ll be in for a treat. I performed at one of the Formula 1 gigs and that’s how we became friends.”
Last week Jess beat her own chart record for the most UK No 1s from a British female when I’ll Be There hit the top spot. So Lewis couldn’t hope for a better mentor.
Lewis is well known for his skills on racing tracks but fans will be eager to know how talented he is on musical tracks

But Jess isn’t the first famous face the racing driver has collaborated with, having also been in the studio with Frank Ocean, Drake and Tinie Tempah.
And after making tunes with Rudimental and Clean Bandit, Jess is now looking towards the next generation for someone else to work with. The singer, who plays summer shows at Audley End House & Gardens in Essex on July 14 and Bedford Park on August 4 is keen to meet Victoria and David Beckham’s son Cruz after he followed her on Instagram.
She explained: “Cruz Beckham follows me, it’s so cool. He’s the cute little kid with the freckles. I’d love to work with him, I love the Beckhams. I’d love to offer my advice and words to help him.”
Perhaps she could give Victoria a helping hand on that on/off Spice Girls reunion, too.
