http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/lewis-gl.jpg (http://www.whatcar.com/news-article.aspx?NA=235798)Newly-crowned Formula one world champion Lewis Hamilton may have to wait a little while longer to get his hands on that bright orange McLaren F1 LM (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/05/the-fine-print-hamilton-will-get-his-mclaren-f1-lm-after-3-titl/), but what does he drive in the meantime? Gunning for the title all season in the Mercedes-powered McLaren MP4-23 (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/mercedes-benz-reveals-vodafone-mclaren-mp4-23-for-2008-f1-season/), he certainly isn't lacking for a fast ride on the weekends, and he'd surely have his pick of any Mercedes car in the German automaker's vast lineup. But while the Mercedes SLR McLaren might be a natural choice, Lewis chooses to drive the daily grind in a diesel sport-ute. Specifically, a Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI. "At the track," explains Lewis, "I always drive on the limit, but on public roads I like to relax, kick back and cruise. The GL's perfect for that."
