Hot property F1 star Lewis Hamilton has signed a £5 million deal with Electronic Arts, which will see second-place racer front a new game next year.

According to fry-up paper of choice The Sun, the deal will see Hamilton "star on Xbox and PlayStations next year", though there's no mention of what the game's all about. We reckon it's a Formula One racer, though that's just a guess. It could be a horse riding sim.

Previously Sony Computer Entertainment has held the rights to the F1 license, though rumours have suggested that EA Sports has had its eyes on the prize for some time. If the Hamilton deal turns out to be true, then it would seem that Sony has lost the license to EA.
