The Royal Mail are considering paying tribute to Lewis Hamilton by featuring the Formula One World Champion on a set of commemorative stamps.
Reports indicate the stamps are to be released in the New Year and will serve as an accolade for the youngest-ever F1 champion.
The move is highly unusual not least because Royal Mail’s release schedule for its 2009 stamps has already been drawn up. It will also mark a further relaxation of Royal Mail’s policy of not featuring living non-royalty on stamps unless they are part of a larger group, such as England’s Ashes-winning cricketers.
A spokesman for Royal Mail insisted that no decision had yet been taken on Hamilton. But he admitted: “It is certainly an idea which is under consideration.”
