Bernie Ecclestone has detailed the reasons why Lewis Hamilton is disliked by some people, whilst also arguing the British driver is not as talented as many consider him to be.
Former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone explained why people “dislike” Lewis Hamilton as he prepares for his first season with Ferrari. The partnership between the seven-time F1 champion and the legendary Italian team is considered one of the most iconic in the sport’s history. Ecclestone, who once owned F1, has a strained relationship with the British driver and openly criticized him in the media. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Ecclestone expressed doubts about Hamilton’s longevity with Ferrari and criticized his fashion choices and interests outside of racing, particularly music. Ecclestone believes these factors contribute to why some people do not like the 105-time Grand Prix winner, questioning Hamilton’s status as one of the greatest F1 drivers and urging him to focus more on racing and less on other pursuits.
