Lewis Hamilton speaks out on one of his biggest obstacles during F1 career
Appearing on the BBC TV show We are England, Hamilton sat down with two talented🧸 youngsters in motorsport - Lewis Appigayei and Ruben Stanislaus - to d🐟iscuss a variety of issues.
One that came up was🦩 the topic of managers and 🍌their involvement in his career.
Hamilton made his debut bꦐack in 2007 with McLaren, and his father, Anthony, was his mana🌊ger.
Hamilton moved on from his father in 2012, opting to join Mercedes on his own acco🦩🎃rd at the end of the season.
Anthony went on to manage fellow Br𒅌itish driver Paul di Resta for a number of years afterwards.
The Mercedes driver appeared to criticise F1 managers as “they will not be the🧸re unless you are doing the business”.
“Your dad or your parents are going to be ꦡthere for the right reasons, the purest reasons from the get-go. And 🍸when there's no success they are the ones who will be there.
“Most often you ꩲhire a manager but they will not be there unless you are doing the business.”
Hamilton also expand🧜ed on the problems drivers from unrepresente🔜d backgrounds have while trying to get into F1.
“Well the problem with our sport is it is expensive,” he added. “But there are a lot of people out there today, companies that are looking at im💛proving diversity and inclusion. There’s a lot of companies out there that want to be partnered with the right message.
“It's not just what you do on track, but it’s also how you present y🐭ourself. How you handle yourself when you lose.”
