He is a handsome multimillionaire who is very good at racing F1 cars but his petulance and the fact his winning smile is increasingly lesser-spotted make him difficult to admire

Following the engine failure that cost him victory at the Malaysian Grand Prix, an understandably frustrated Lewis Hamilton suggested that “somebody, or someone, doesn’t want me to win this year”. Quite who he was alluding to was unclear, so in the interests of team harmony he later clarified his remarks by confirming he was referring to a “higher power”. Following his antics at two subsequent press conferences in Japan, it is hardly outrageous to surmise this unnamed higher power might not be not alone in hoping the Englishman is unsuccessful in this year’s title tilt.
