Racing driver Lewis Hamilton is following in the footsteps of his singer girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger by laying down tracks in a recording studio.

The British Formula 1 ace has been working with U.K. rapper Angel and two producers, Midi Mafia and Eric Bellinger, who writes tracks for R&B star Chris Brown.

However, a representative for Hamilton insists fans waiting for him to release the material will be disappointed as he only records to unwind, according to British newspaper The Sun.

A source tells the paper, "Lewis has been spending a lot of his spare time in the studio. His vocals have been impressive."

Hamilton took to his Twitter.com page on Monday (14Jan13) to share a series of snaps with his followers, showing the foursome hard at work in the studio.
