Interesting peice of journalism I was particulary intrested in the quote you highlighted above and the fact that he's mates with Denzel, hangs with music producers in LA 'just chillin' and i particularly enjoyed the use of the word 'gangsta' in his insightful motor racing column.
To paraphrase somone more eloquent that I - Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are a bit of a dick, than to open it and remove all doubt - or in this case commit it to print in perpetuity.
Do you not think that perhaps Lewis was referring to the time when he was a teenager, rather than when he was not much more than a toddler as in the picture?

You are probably right. But that "toddler" in the picture is nearly a teenager.
What?!He looks about 6!
There are some shots around of a 12 and 16 year old Hamilton on Blue Peter, looking distinctly not gangster.

He's 28, he's banging one of the sexiest women in the world, he travels the globe driving F1 cars for a job, he lives in Monaco, he drives a Zonda.
But he has a tattoo and listens to music which Pistonheaders don't listen to, so this makes him a t

Slow down a bit. Hero worship is a bit, you know.But he has a tattoo and listens to music which Pistonheaders don't listen to, so this makes him a t

From the gospel that is wiki: "A toddler is a child between the ages of one and three."

Its the fact he's wannabe gansta. You can tell in interviews that part of him really wants to be street, but the fact is he was brought up in a nice well off family with a supportive dad. That's the tBut he has a tattoo and listens to music which Pistonheaders don't listen to, so this makes him a t

It's almost Ali G like - and it really (IMO only) doesn't do him any favours at all.
Now as a middle class white guy I am hardly an authority on the subject - but I find it a little dissaponting that the first black F1 driver just wants to act like every other identikit wannabe rapper when there was a real and genuine opportunity to change the paradigm and move away from the stereotype.

Just saw this on a sailing website I frequent...nearly spat my coffee out! The boat is a foiling Moth, a 30 knot hydrofoiling design that is by far the quickest of all dinghies, and I've got one, and it's a serious amount of fun.
You don't normally sail it like that, it's American guy messing about, but someone please please please do the honours with the prancing Lewis in front of the sailor!!!!
They're amazing! Where do you sail it?You don't normally sail it like that, it's American guy messing about, but someone please please please do the honours with the prancing Lewis in front of the sailor!!!!
He's at it again, maybe not up to the photoshoppery standards (?) of the GQ photos, but... http://www.lewishamilton.com/post/Rake-Exclusive/
