Ayrton Senna’s ex-manager to manage Lewis
Anthony Hamilton is never far from his superstar son. Hamilton Snr. has played a huge part in Lewis’s development, but now it seems that father and son are set to cool their intense working relationship.
Spanish tabloid Marca reports that Lewis is about to hire a professional manager for the first time in his career. That manager is Julian Jakobi, who is best-known in F1 circles for having simultaneously managed Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna - no easy feat.
Anthony Hamilton said in May: “I haven’t met an agent who can offer us anything we can’t do ourselves.”
You would expect the ultra-protective father to say as much, but now he realises that even he can’t control Lewis’s career single-handed. The Hamilton camp needs some professional guidance, and Jakobi is the man to provide it.

I don’t believe anything Marca would say about Hamilton . But it would be best for Lewis if he did hire a professional manager .
