He came across really well I thought and not too much mention of his autobiography.

I'm glad old Parky managed to get Hamilton to confess his real reasons for moving to Switzerland - shame he lied to everyone in the first place.

He hardly lied did he , to say he lied is like me asking you about your tax position and you avoiding the question

Quite. And, I suspect wanting to avoid constant press attention was indeed one of the 'real reasons' he decided to move. Don't see the problem here at all.

He could have sued. It would be a very DULL read FFS - he has done nothing as far as life, partying, pranks, winning stuff etc.

Now if it was Berger - I'd read itwink

And doesn't winning F3, Formula Renault and GP2 and being signed to McLaren at 13 count as interesting?

NO.

Interesting mean you have lived a little - who gives a rats ass about how he won a bunch of races at an early age.

Christ you would not have seen this Crap from Senna.

It is just cos these publishing houses want this stuff on anyone and everyone - (JORDON - but then she has at least done some freaky Sh8t that would make for interesting reading).

My two penneths worth, and obviously only my opinion, but I thought Hamilton was a bit dull. (both on Parky and Chris Evans last week)

Now I know F1 drivers aren't always the best people to interview but I got the impression he was reciting corporate text, rather than giving us much insight into his real character. I love watching him on track but just couldn't warm to him - sorry.

Perhaps that will come with his maturity in the sport and him adjustment to the media interest in him - I think Coultard is a great character for example, but then he's got a few years on the boy wonder!

It depends whether you read it for the motorsport insite or if you want to know about people private lifes.

Lewis' story through motorsport is very interesting and I'm sure if people appreciated it then they would give him a bit more respect. However, if all your interested in is what he does away from the race track then yes, it will be a boring book, but then I couldnt give a crap what he does away from the track..

Cant blame the guy for cashing in on his career at every opportunity he gets. He's got a story and people will pay to read it, not a difficult decision if you want to make a few quid and you cant blame him for that!
