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

Nico and Hamilton had opposite lifestyles growing up. Hamilton had to struggle, while Nico is the son of a Formula 1 driver and grew up in Monaco. I always have to remind myself of that when I'm having ill feelings towards Hamilton. He deserves his success.

What struggle?

In December 1995, at the age of ten, he approached McLaren team principal Ron Dennis at the Autosport Awards ceremony and told him, "I want to race for you one day ... I want to race for McLaren." Less than three years later McLaren and Mercedes-Benz signed him to their Young Driver Support Programme

Come on Scott, Hamilton came from working class divorced parents in a suburb of London. Excelling in a sport and having the confidence to reach high for help...That's VERY different from growing up in Monaco and attending the same private schools as Prince Albert II's children.

Three Grand Chreokees? Either Lewis or his buddy in the 458 travels with security.

Well that makes sense now that you mention it. I had wondered why so many SUVs,
good catch.

All three have rental car stickers in the windshield. The first one has a cute girl in the passenger seat. I doubt it's security. Most likely just his posse.

Press is reporting he submitted to a breathalyzer on the scene and alcohol wasn't a factor. Probably not easy to get through Monaco at night in that car when you're super tired. I'm sure nobody here has had a close call in their 911. ;)
