Britain's famed Formula One rookie Lewis Hamilton is expected to front a new F1 videogame after EA Sports signed up the McLaren driver.

According to The Sun, Hamilton will earn a rumoured £5 million from the deal, though EA Sports has refused to comment on the announcement.

Sony currently holds the official FIA licence for its F1 racing game, but EA Sports is expected to release its own versions of the sport in 2008, with the report citing both the Xbox and PlayStation as possible formats.
