Zoom Heading to the deciding season finale

An enormous painted portrait of Lewis Hamilton will soon be on public display in central London.

Reebok, the McLaren driver's major personal sponsor, has commissioned freelance artist Ian Cook to paint a huge 96 square metre likeness of Hamilton's face.

The work is taking place this week, in Cook's unique style; he drops paint on the canvas and then spreads it around by using various remote-controlled cars.

The finished product will ultimately be hung near the Tower of London from Wedesday October 29th, and displayed throughout the decisive Brazilian round of the 2008 championship.

"It will take all week," Cook said, "and I'll be working 14-16 hours a day on it."

Hope he charged the batteries...
