    Hamilton decides to leave Britain

    Lewis Hamilton
    Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton is to move to Switzerland to escape the excessive public and media attention he has had in Britain over the last year.
    The McLaren driver, who came second in the drivers' championship in his debut F1 season, will join Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen in Switzerland.

    "Over there people don't come up to you, they leave you alone and give you space," the 22-year-old told BBC Sport.

    "I'm going to a country that I don't know but it's very exciting."


    Interview: Lewis Hamilton

    Ironically, the news comes the day after his home town of Stevenage announced that it was naming a street after the McLaren driver.

    Switzerland is a popular choice for F1 drivers looking to relocate, with Alonso and Raikkonen - his rivals in this season's thrilling title chase - already living there, along with seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.

    606: DEBATE
    What do you make of Hamilton's decision?

    Financial issues may also have played a part in Hamilton's thinking, with wealthy Switzerland residents paying significantly less tax than in the UK.

    Hamilton, talking after visiting children at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said he had taken the decision with some reluctance.

    "It was a tough decision. My dream for years was to move to London - I stayed at a friend's house this weekend in London and I woke up in the morning and just knew it was where I wanted to be," he added.

    "But I'll meet new people, new faces and I do have a few friends there and my family and friends from home will be able to come and visit me."

    Hamilton said he had found it impossible to live a normal life since soaring to fame in an astonishing rookie season in the sport.

    "When I was coming up I knew there were sacrifices you have to make," he said.


    At the end of the year we had a big hug and we said what a phenomenal year it had been

    Hamilton on his relationship with McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso

    "You lose your ability to go places - you don't understand what that means until you get there and you really struggle to lead a normal life.

    "I haven't been able to spend much time with my friends or my family - it's not like a normal job, you're travelling all the time, you live out of your suitcase and it's tough to manage that and still live a normal life.

    "When you come home and everybody knows you, it makes it so much harder to do normal things.

    "I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs."

    Hamilton insisted that his relationship with McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso was not as strained as has been widely reported.

    "Me and Fernando get on as well any other two people working together," he said.

    "We're not best friends and he doesn't call me up to come to my house but we say 'hi' - sometimes we play Playstation, sometimes we have dinner together.

    "At the end of the year we had a big hug and we said what a phenomenal year it had been and I said it had been a pleasure working with him.

    "I don't know who is going to be my team-mate next year, I'm not particularly bothered. If it's going to be Fernando then great, but I'm really not fussed either way."

    Hamilton also dismissed any suggestions that he could be interested in a move to Ferrari, emphasising the fact that he was living out his childhood dream by driving for McLaren.

    Let him live in Switzerland, let him ****ing represent them and then lets see how his ****ing sponsorship deals go.
    Scrap his TV deals over here and **** him off completely, jumped up little ****head.

        Because this country has given that jumped up little ****rag a lot of support during his childhood/youth and now he's pissing off to Switzerland to avoid paying tax.

        It's an extreme form of ****ish behaviour. Don't listen to the BULL**** excuse about publicity, why have his own TV program? Why turn up to all these celebrity partys if he doesn't want the exposure.

        He's a little **** and we should tear up his passport on his way out.

          I find him very boring and the media adulation is nauseating. Maybe it's all the spin but he comes across as a self-important, obnoxious little tw*t (as do many racing drivers).

          Of course I'm talking about Lewis Hamilton, not Red_Chilli. Then again...
          .
          Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



          May the Lord bless this post.

              What's wrong with him leaving, he has the money and can afford to live in a more beautiful country.

              This country is getting to be a huge ****hole with a small amount of perspective. On GMTV news this morning they were going on about strictly come dancing, that really news!

              This country is getting full of asylum seekers and anyone who can afford to the leave would be wrong not to IMO.
              Bring Back Pako


              Oh dear

                This is a major problem if these guys come here and do **** all, but if they're good workers I can't see any problem with it.

                          I've had an irrational dislike for this guy since day one.
                          A humble guy with healthy desire.

                              Hardly worthy of hero worship, 1 good season.
