Lewis Hamilton talking bull
I have to admit I wanted Lewis Hamilton to win the Formula One championship, it’s good to see the British kicking the arses out of the rest of the world. At first Lewis Hamilton seemed a likeable kind of chap; but now I am getting the feeling that Lewis is really starting to believe his own hype.
A headline in today’s News of the World reads ‘I don’t care about money’.
Well Lewis, if that’s the case, why the bloody hell are you moving to Switzerland?
Don’t give us all that bull about wanting to avoid the limelight; the reason you are moving to Switzerland is because you won’t get raped so badly by the taxman!
That’s right, Gordon Brown’s taxmen will wipe your millions to a good tune; whereas the taxmen of Switzerland are a bit more forgiving on the arses of the rich and famous.
So now that Lewis Hamilton is ‘rich and famous’ he is out of the country that has supported him in his childhood; and now that it is time to pay back-in, the squeaky clean Formula One driver is off.
Well done Lewis, thanks for supporting your fellow countrymen, perhaps the Brits should now support you in the same way - and turn their backs on you!

Ummmm, this is a difficult one Mr Crip….
Lewis hamlton is the best possible thing to have happened to Formula One for a long time and I have really enjoyed watching Lewis kicking some arse too. In particular I have enjoyed watching him kick his own team mates arse - Fernando Alonso!
I didint realise he was moving out and I feel a little perplexed about this too now that you come to mention it! Mind you if I also step back from the equation for a moment and put myself into Lewis Hamilton’s shoes I would probably do the same thing. I dont believe this is abnormal behaviour, would you seriously want to pay 40% tax as apposed to 22% Tax? (almost half thats a big carrot!) I dont think sooooooooo. On 50 million per annum that would slice it in half….ouch
I’m sure Lewis Hamilton feels a bit ‘ive sold out’ doing this but its a very simple decision to make with that kind of money to save when its ” just happned to you”.
So come on Lewis Hamilton, keep bustin though moves and keep it up mate!
