Reebok, who are owned by Adidas, are rumoured to be putting together a sponsorship deal with Lewis Hamilton. The deal, which has yet to be confirmed or finalised, is set to earn the Brit several million pounds and see him as a global brand ambassador alongside current Thierry Henry, Andrei Shevchenko and Amir Khan, all of whom already have contracts with the company.

Normally, McLaren do not allow their drivers to seek personal sponsorship however it is believed that they have relaxed the rules for Hamilton as he is fast becoming one of the most marketable stars in Formula 1.
