Madame Tussauds Wax Museum has unveiled a $230,000 wax statue of F1 racing champion Lewis Hamilton. The F1 champ joins other waxy racing luminaries Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell.

The McLaren F1 racing driver reportedly submitted to no fewer than 230 body measurements in order to facilitate the fancy mannequin, apparently between the times he's winning F1 Championships and driving his race car remotely. The resemblance is uncanny, but we're wondering if they plan to update his racing suit as his sponsorships evolve.
