McLaren star has no sympathy for father Anthony

Lewis Hamilton has admitted he laughed when he found out that his dad crashed a £330,000 Porsche. As we told you yesterday, Anthony Hamilton span and ended up in a kids’ playground, in a borrowed Carrera GT, just a few metres from his home in Tewin, Hertfordshire.

Lewis said: “I got dad’s email yesterday and I just laughed… He is not one to make mistakes. He is a very good driver but I don’t know what he was up to.”

Hamilton Jnr also admitted: “I have never raced him on the track. We raced go-karts together years ago but he was terrible.”

Charming. You do everything possible to help your son realise his dream to become an F1 driver, and that’s how he repays you.
