Sony and Polyphony Digital have announced on the PlayStation Blog that the current Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton will be featured as an in-game mentor in Gran Turismo Sport.

In the announcement, it was said that Hamilton will be offering expert advice, which will be based on his own driving philosophy, and heā€™ll even share some of his own race techniques. Hamiltonā€™s advice will be shared in an interview format for all GT Sport players, and will no doubt provide some valuable tips that could well make you ā€˜as fast and strong as Lewis himselfā€™.

Gran Turismoā€™s creator Kazunori Yamauchi is clearly delighted about this news, saying that, ā€˜from watching Lewis drive on TV all these years, I had an idea of how he might drive, but the experience of watching him drive in person was well beyond my wildest expectations.ā€™

Gran Turismo Sport is out on PS4 on October 18.
