Devoted to the auto industry – builders to enthusiasts

Mercedes-Benz F1 racer Lewis Hamilton has spent a fortune, £200,000 (or about $392,000) to get a vanity number plate.

But don't go crazy for the guy because he's got the cash to pay for it. Critics say that he is still a kid and loves to write his name on the desk, bathroom stalls or on the tree trunks. Hamilton currently earns a base salary of around $27 million per season and that does not include his sponsorship deals with luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer, Boss clothing, Mobil oil as well as a reported huge $20 million contract with Reebok.

The plate is likely to come up on his his Mercedes SUV (cost: ~$112,000) or on the new Porsche Carrera GT he's about to buy. But maybe he'll be saving it forthe  $4 million Mclaren F1 LM – a prize he is set to receive if he brings home the F1 drivers championship this year.
