After that, he raced in Radiator Springs. After the racers race through the Admiralty Arch he was seen in the 3rd position, passing Miguel. When the race begins, he was seen in the 4th position behind Miguel Camino. Before the London race, Lewis was seen with Jeff laughing at Mater and McQueen in Mater's flashback. When the pileup of cars starts during the Italy race, Hamilton and Gorvette stop to avoid being hit and are the only racers to be able to do so, which he along with Jeff were the only cars who did not crash into Shu Todoroki, and a few of the racers who did not get hit by the Lemons' electromagnetic pulse generator. Lewis was seen at the Porto Corsa race behind Jeff Gorvette. He is then seen at the race, which he appears in all three. He then later appears with the other World Grand Prix racers when Mater is drinking from the fountain after having too much wasabi, which he thought was pistachio ice cream.

When they notice Mater talking to Zen Master, he was wondering who he was with. In Cars 2, he first appears talking with Lightning McQueen and Jeff Gorvette when they arrive at the World Grand Prix opening ceremony in Tokyo, which he and Jeff meet McQueen. We had a great time sending pictures back and forth and sharing notes." He wanted the car to be black with yellow pinstriping, and he picked the wheels. His emblem combines the Union Jack and the flag of Grenada – which is on his actual helmet. Producer Denise Ream said: "He was very particular about what he wanted. Lewis Hamilton was directly involved in the design of his character, (and was also the only voice actor to do so): at his suggestion, the gray design was abandoned (and apparently passed on to Prince Wheeliam) and changed to the final yellow-striped black paint job, with different wheels. It seems that the gray color was chosen after the colors of the McLaren racing team. He had a grayish paint job with a ghost pattern of Union Jack, and wheel trims shaped after the Union Jack, exactly as the final design of Prince Wheeliam.

Originally, Lewis was to be named Lewis Revington. Hamilton chose the car’s final black and yellow paint scheme for the car in the movie. Lewis is based on, named after and voiced by the real British Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.
