Hamilton's woes

Seems Ham has hit a few parked cars in Monaco with his Pagani Zonda.. Surprised there's no pics or videos of this. Was reported to be partying a bit.

I think this is the car he did it with.

I have no idea who this guy is, and no idea why I should care. Judging by the outfit and the ink, he looks like just another grade-B douchebag.

Current and 3-time F1 champion and an FIA road safety ambassador. From another article:
Only in September, he awarded prizes to teenagers who made road safety films, which he had judged.

He said at the time: ‘As racing drivers we need to be ambassadors for safe driving on the road. I’m genuinely shocked every time I see the stats about accidents and I hope projects like this will raise awareness and make a real difference.’

So it looks like Thom pretty much nailed it 3 posts in

I thought this was going to be about Alexander Hamilton.

LOL! Living in a bubble? Maybe ignorance is bliss.

I've been following Hamilton for a decade and still agree with your last sentence.

There's rumors among some people around here that he's shopping for a ranch near COTA. I thought that was funny, thinking of a short black Englishman wandering into a rancher bar outside of Austin...

Now the rumors of financial failure at COTA means that he's not only going to stand out at the bar, he might not be able to pay for that beer!

Pretty much my initial thoughts, no idea who he is, when I found out he was an ambassador for the sport of F1, even more so.....rich, self important punk !

Sorry!

Sorry guys, I just assumed everyone on Pelican was into F1. My mistake, no harm done I hope.

He's hard to like, but I am a fan of his.

Gotta give him one thing…He's slept with some hot women. Here's a few of his girlfriends…

That last one isn't really a girlfriend - just someone he likes to ride hard and put away wet.

I must be confused. When Mark Webber was asked who was the most beautiful women in Formula 1, he answered "Nico Rosberg".

Yep. Although SeaBass (his nemesis) choked it in F1 - such a letdown. Maybe Tracy would've done better. Truth be told I kinda liked him even with the silly Canadian bravado.

Nico is hotter than Danica Patrick too.

I don't remember it like that. He did pretty well against his team mate (a certain Seb Vettel) initially, till changes were made to the chassis that suited Vettel more. Even so he was far from bad. But that was Toro rosso, and they have crushed more careers than they have fostered !
