Lewis leaving UK

Lewis Hamilton was born on January 7th 1985, in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. In 1991 his dad, Anthony Hamilton, brought him to a radio controlled car race competition. He finished 2nd, competing against adults. When he was 6 his dad brought him his first go-kart as a Christmas present. Hamilton began his car racing career in the 2001 British Formula Renault Winter Series.Now he wants to move to Switzerland. He said-“I’m definitely contemplating living outside the UK,” he told the BBC. “I’ve always dreamt of living in London but it’s becoming more and more difficult. Pressure on the track doesn’t get to me, I’m able to manage it, but in your personal life it affects you.”

He thinks that moving to Switzerland, the people will not take his breathing space, so he has confirmed on the 29th oct 2007 he will be living UK permanently, to escape the intense public and media scrutiny he has experienced living in the United Kingdom.Some fimiliar things…Lewis Hamilton conformed on the 29 Oct that he will be leaving,
and Michael Schumacher (7 time world champion) has also conformed on the 29th Oct that he was going to retire…Lewis was born on JAN 7
And Michael was born JAN 3 Michael Schumacher got his first go-kart when he was six and so did Lewis Hamilton

And Lewis’s last race was the Brazilian Grand Prix and so was Michael Schumachers.

Grand Prix - Lewis Hamilton

Today I watched Formulae One Grand Pix. It was taking place in Brazil and it was the last race for this year. In the lead before the race was Lewis Hamilton, then Alonso and third was Raikkonen.

The program started at 4:00pm. For an hour it was interviews and weather and etc. The last race Lewis Hamilton did not win so if he does not win this race he wouldn’t be the world champion this year, but if he does win he will be the first rookie driver to win F1. He is 22yrs old the youngest driver in the set. He has won 12 races out of 16.

So at 5:00 the race started he was in 2nd position. Massa was 1st. When they started, Raikkonen over took Hamilton so he was third then after i think Alonso pushed him off the road and he slipped. He became eighth. I think that Alonso is really jealous of Hamilton, because Alonso has been world champion twice, but when Hamilton came he always was 3rd or 2nd and Hamilton was 1st talking place of Alonso.

I think that when he became eighth he was shocked and lost, so he did not know what to do and changed the gear to fast or something like that he slowed down and about 10 cars past him. He position now was eighteenth. It was so shocking for everyone who was watching because he started of as 2nd and now he is 18th!

After a couple of hours he became 10th. He took 3 pit stops. Me and my Dad were so upset! I bet most people who were fans were upset too.

So at the end Kimi won. He is the world champion 2007. We did not know that he would win at the end, because he all ways comes 2nd. And i think the points were adding up and finally he won!! If Alonso won i would have been upset cause i think that Hamilton lost because of him!

F1 Grandpre

Today at 8:30 i was watching F1 (formula one). There was a race in Japan. And by the time i was watching the race was finished half way. And dad told me that Lewis Hamiltion was out! And i was like how? And dad said that his tyres became to soft and He was slowing down. And byt the time he was in the pitt stop he lost contorl and went into the gravel and coun’t get out of it. Me and dad were really upset, becuase we really don’t like Fernando Alsonso, and this guy is only 19yrs old and he never lost except for this race. We were really really upset, and we hated Alonso more after that, becuase the last race he said that there is a chance of me winning if Hamilton crashes or somthing like that. Its not his fualt but he shounlt say stuff like that.
