British Formula one racer Lewis Hamilton, who has written tracks in a bid to start his own music career, says he would love to emulate King of Pop Michael Jackson's success.
Hamilton saud Jackson was hus biggest inspiration in the field of music, reported Female First.
Asked who he would most like to emulate, he replied, "If it was a sportsman Mohammed Ali, because he was my favourite. But if it was music, Michael Jackson."
The 30-year-old budding songwriter also praised the 'Man In The Mirror' crooner, who died aged 50 in 2009 from acute Propofol intoxication, for his amazing "gift" and appeared in awe of his talent.
"What a life and journey he had, what a voice and talent," the racer said.
Hamilton added making it in music is currently top of his priorities.
"Above cars, music is what I love doing most. Music is the
key to the soul. It's the one thing that brings people from all walks of life together and one stage to celebrate.
