Cape Town - Reigning Formula 1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton, will make a guest appearance in the next installment of the Call of Duty (CoD) franchise, Infinite Warfare.

The F1 driver is filming six scenes for the upcoming game that will be released on November 4, 2016, reports ESPN.

In case you're unfamiliar with the series, CoD is a First Person Shooter franchise focusing on warfare and armed conflict... a curious choice for an F1 driver. 

Making that cameo appearance

The sports channel says that Hamilton was in front of a green studio, filming facial expressions and voice clips for the game.

Eurogamer also reports that Hamilton said that he is a huge fan of gaming.
