Hamilton becomes the Joker for Halloween

A mere 24 hours after powering to a comfortable victory at the Mexican Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton became The Ledger as he attended the A-list Heidi Klum Halloween function in New York.

The reigning Formula 1 world champion sporting a painted face, wild wig and some neat threads captured the essence of Heath Ledger's classic Joker villain from Batman. Mercedes driver Hamilton had clearly made an effort with his outfit.

The three times world champion was accompanied by tennis ace Serena Williams, who was also present in the Mercedes pit garage in the United States and in Mexico, fueling rumours of a romance between the two.
