But he appears panicked when the big cat mounts Lewis, cuddling the Formula One racer - well, we would too!

In another snap, where Lewis is seen stroking a cute lion cub, he said: "On my way back from Mexico, I couldn't leave without seeing my little buddy Lewis the Lion at @blackjaguarwhitetiger!"
Hamilton jetted off to Mexico to celebrate his 31st birthday, staying at the luxurious One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos.
He thanked Mexico for giving him the "best birthday weekend" ever and wrote: "Last weekend was by far the best birthday weekend I have ever had. I have fallen in love with Mexico, this for me is not only one of the most beautiful places in the world but the people were so gentle, loving & kind. Thank you Mexico. Thank you @oneandonlypalmilla hotel for the most amazing stay, see you next year! #oneandonlypalmillahotel #bestspotsofar #blessings".
