Hamilton considers leaving Britain

By on

Lewis Hamilton, the rising star of Formula One, has threatened to leave Britain. The rookie driver is very unpleased with the way the media intrudes his private life. During the three-week summer break, the tabloids were all over Hamilton, linking him with several girls.

Lewis Hamilton said: "I'm definitely contemplating living outside the UK. I've always dreamt of living in London but it's becoming more and more difficult. Every time I go to London, cameras appear from God knows where.

"I can see from the experience of Fernando what can happen. He's so big in Spain, he can't stay there because he can't go anywhere and live a normal life. I thought that wouldn't be the case in the UK. My whole holiday was in the papers. I was trying to relax but I couldn't swim, because the cameras were waiting to get 10.000 euros for the pictures.

"I can't live a normal life and enjoy my life without being spread across the tabloids....we'll just have to wait and see. It's down to the media, really."
