It's no secret that Lewis Hamilton loves his music almost as much as he's passionate about motor sports. While he could seal his third Formula One championship in a few days time at the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of Americas in Austin, Texas, it was first things first for the 30-year-old this weekend: next on his to-do list is learning to play the piano.

He's got quite a backdrop to his efforts, with a superb view of the skyline of Miami behind him - not that is seems to be distracting him from his practice session. Then again, if you're used to keeping your head as things come flying at you at 200mph then we reckon he's got the concentration part pretty much down cold.
