It’s the gift that keeps on giving. The independent has decided to simply go with Lewis’s own words and left them there without comment.

Hamilton is contracted to Mercedes and left the United Kingdom to live in Monaco and then Switzerland in 2007.

His personal wealth is estimated to be at £131m and he featured in the Sunday Times Rich List for 2017.

When it was published he told the Sunday Times Style magazine: “I race in 19 different countries, so I earn my money in 20 different places and I pay tax in several different places, and I pay a lot here as well.

“I am contributing to the country and, not only that, I help keep a team of more than 1,000 people employed. I am part of a much bigger picture.”

1. Fuckin' lmao if he genuinely believes that is how it works - if he does, he is forgiven in my eyes for such naivety.
2. Yeah, nothing to do with one of the world's largest auto manufacturers bankrolling the operation.

Is that true?
It's one thing to avoid taxes, but doing it through a country with a more troubling track record than maldonado is another.

I just want to let the best thread know if you purchase Project Cars 2™ right now, you can attempt to outpace handling consultant and race car driver NICOLAS HAMILTON™. The only non-fraud Hamilton.



I've been outpaced by him on 2 separate real karting circuits. I don't need to add a virtual one to the list.

Nicholas Hamilton walks like Andi Sirkis while playing Caeser from Planet of the Apes. When that was pointed out to me I have never been able to unsee it. I don't feel terrible when I involuntarily laugh out loud.

2022 FIA Formula 1 WDC
“He was able to win in the junior categories before moving into F1,” Alonso said. “He already had trophies and championships in his pocket coming and arrived in F1 in every single season performing very competitively apart from one or two with Jenson when he had some issues there.
“Lewis is one of the champions who has been able to win with a dominant car, like the last three years, with a good car, like in 2010 or 2012, and with bad cars like 2009 or 2011. Not all the champions can say that.”

And these quotes are from the same Alonso who couldn't stand Hamilton in 2007 during their pairing at McLaren, with Alonso being the reigning WDC. Alonso still couldn't stand Hamilton about 5 years after 2007, but finally came to realize that champions race to win not to play second fiddle to other drivers. Can you asked Verstapen today to play second fiddle to even Lewis Hamilton? Then you will be preaching in the desert.

Alonso has been pretty open about growing up and acknowledging that a lot of 2007 was his own fault. Consequently he is much cooler than Lewis.

These are all good ideas. I expect the actual cap will be some ways north of that $175m figure though.

All of Liberty’s proposals basically rest on the idea that their ability to more effectively exploit F1’s commercial rights means that forcing the teams to accept a more equitable revenue split would still result in them getting more money than they do now. We’ll see.

It makes more sense to strip Ferrari of their veto and give them more money, then take away that money next time, when they can’t veto anything.
