(GMM) Lewis Hamilton this week will receive a top German media prize for becoming the youngest ever F1 world champion.

On Thursday, the 23-year-old McLaren driver will be named as the recipient of a 'Bambi' trophy at a gala ceremony, organizers the Hubert Burda Media group said.

Also honored with a Bambi, for her comeback following a series of highly-publicized personal problems, will be pop star Britney Spears, who will sing at the ceremony.

The American singer Pink will also perform at the event in the northern German city Offenburg, and other winners include Meg Ryan, Keanu Reeves, fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld and Tommy Hilfiger and tenor Placido Domingo.
