It is strange indeed. F1/Liberty appear to be trying to reach a different crowd and most in that crowd are Hammy fans. Hammy seems to fancy himself as a California, rapper, NBA/NFL kind of guy with the tats and piercings.

So on the one hand Liberty wants those people but on the other hand they seem to want him to clean up (if you will) or possibly look a certain way. I honestly believe that a large number of the new fans that are attracted to the spectacle and Hammy in general won't be around when he retires.
