Lewis Hamilton is just a prick and has been for as long as I can remember.

However I have a friend whose sister works for Mercedes as their phys instructor for the engineers. Apparently Hamilton is as good as gold. Remembers names, friendly word for everyone. At the end of the British Grand Prix they have beers for all the workers in tent city and LH always goes along and brings a lorry load of beer along. Doesn’t get publicised so much as the bad stuff.
The British love to bring down their elite sportsmen and women. We have to realise that to get to this level they have to be a certain personality.

He’s a bit of a bell end. But it’s unfair to not mention his charitable contributions, whether financially or personally and paint him out to be someone who only cares about his own wealth. He’s well known for staying in every country he races in a few extra days and meet the local community, both wealthy and poor

Mo Farah has been turned on due to alleged drug issues. Tyson Fury has been a target for a long time due to his beliefs.

Mo Farah has been turned on due to alleged drug issues. Tyson Fury has been a target for a long time due to his beliefs.
But I think both still have a fair share of admirers,but fair enough,with farah,as you say, alleged drug issues, as for tyson fury,I don't like him for his beliefs,but it seems quite a lot don't care,and still admire him,mainly for his work with the mental health issues,and the rest for his boxing
But fair enough answer![]()
