Hamilton moves to Switzerland

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team driver, Lewis Hamilton, confirmed that he is leaving England for Switzerland as he is fed up with the intrusion in his private life. "I've decided to move to Switzerland. You lose your ability to go to places. You really struggle to live a normal life," said the young Briton.

Lewis said: "It's been a really tough year. I've not been able to spend a lot of time with my friends, my family. You come home and everyone knows you, it makes it so much harder to do normal things. I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs. It's tough but I knew that was going to be the case."

Hamilton hopes to find peace and quiet in Switzerland: "People don't come up to you. They leave you, they give you your space."
