A four-year-old boy who some claim displays the same talent and skill as current Formula 1 points leader Lews Hamilton, has been offered a four-year driving contract.

Ben Kasperczak, 4, cannot ride a bike without training wheels but is a natural with a go-kart according to The Sun. "He's just got a natural ability for it" says Ben's dad Paul, 42, a landscaper.

Brad Mulroy, manager of the circuit where Ben currently drives and the former stomping grounds of current Formula 1 points leader Lews Hamilton said that "For his age he is unbelievably good. He is fearless."

"Ben really is blinding - he has just got that little bit extra something about him and drives his kart to its full potential. This is the track where Lewis Hamilton started. Let's hope history can repeat itself. We can put Ben in the right kart, on the right track, with the right tuition."

While Ben's age prohibits him from being paid a salary, the contract will cover all expenses related to the go-karts and the technical support Ben will need to become a competitive racer.
