We know you might be getting just a little weary of all those pictures of Formula One world champion Lewis Hanging around with celebrities around the world during the off-season, but this is one that we just couldn't resist.

Here's Lewis with none other than Jedi grand master Yoda from the Star Wars saga - and it's the real thing as well, no CGI nonsense here. It's the original puppet used for Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Lewis got to meet up with Yoda when he visited the series' creator George Lucas at his office.

No word yet on whether Yoda was able to confirm that "Strong in the Force this one is, mmmm?" or whether he's a big fan of watching Formula One like Lucas himself. Lucas has attended several Grand Prix events over the years and was even in charge of asking the questions on the podium following the 2015 Italian race at Monza last year (see below).
