Gentleman racing
October 23, 2007Lewis Hamilton has told the BBC he does not want to win an F1 title through disqualifications for other drivers. Kimi Raikkonen’s win in Brazil secured the world title for the Finn by one point from Hamilton but McLaren are to launch an appeal into the placings. “To have the world title taken away is a bit cruel and probably not good for the sport,” Hamilton told 5live Sport. “It would feel weird after Kimi did such a fantastic job in the last two races and won on Sunday.” He added: “I want to win it on the track. You want to do it in style, you want to win the race or battling it out for the lead. Being promoted after other people have been thrown out is not the way I want to do it.”
What a great sportsman. This is gentleman racing at its best. The world of sports need more people like Lewis Hamilton. Very, very commendable.
