I will start by saying not a massive fan of the guy I am warming to him a little or was until the toys came out last year, anyway before I get kicked out by the LH fans thought I would share this pic form USA GQ. I got it from MB tweet he thinks Lewis is in for a lot of stick.

I am more concerned about the OP's appalling punctuation than his opnion of Hamilton.

Thats no big deal- its just a photo shoot!

Plenty of drivers look like tools doing stuff like this- main this he stays focused on driving when it counts.

He fell over.

Lucky that car was there to break his fall.

I'm confused. What is wrong with that article? The picture makes him look like a muppet, but then again, 99.9999% of the photo's taken of any of us in the past will make us look like retarded sex pests, so judging someone by a photo is at best idiotic.

He doesn't say anything remotely controversial in the article at all.

Is this just another thread where people like to bash drivers for some imaginary reasons?

Possibly a photoshoot for a sponsor? I'm sure he has better things to do than be slumped over a car dressed like that.

Part of his job. Nothing more, nothing less.

He's no model, he's a twenty-summat from Stevenage, which is why it looks so awkward. I blame the snapper - he should have realised that he'd look silly in those kind of, I guess, 'high fashion' type poses and shot him more naturally.

Some of the clothes look mega on him though - he should take a leaf out of Andre 3000's book and start showing up to GPs like this:

Seriously, what exactly about this guy doing a pretty embarrassing part of his job makes him a bellend?

I suppose the doctor who does prostate exams is 'OMG totally gay LOL!!111! WTF', is he?

His job is being a driver, not a model.

No, that's part of his job. This is the other part.

One racer was quoted as saying, "my job is convincing people to give me the backing so that I can do my hobby on race weekends."

Hamilton might be a multi-millionaire F1 world champion, but his job also includes doing crap like this.

The only brand he's peddling here is "Brand Hamilton". The brand it like Beckham influence of his management is painfully obvious.

Try not to resort to this kind of thing, but you're an idiot with no understanding of how professional sports works.

Kindly go away.

I have to say, that this photoshoot is almost certainly not part of his job, in as much as Mclaren or Merc have not asked him to do it. Almost certainly this is the work of that cretin Simon Fuller who owns IX management.

Lewis is keen to 'transcend' his sport and earn some decent bunce doing non F1 things and generally being famous. He would do well to remember that drivers like Senna, Stewart,Schummi transcended the sport because they were winners. He also needs to remember that he has nothing interesting to say, is from Stevenage, and is too concerned about his 'nice guy' image to be able to do anything 'cool' off track. He clearly has no idea on how to enhance his brand. Also I think he is a far harder b'stard, ruthless almost than he wants to let on. I personally would be much happier with a ruthless, take no prisoners, devil may care, Lewis than the fame hungry version we have at the mo.

He has been and will continue to be, chronically badly advised by IX management. He is better than David Beckham


Excellent driver though.
