| Re: F1 2008 Hamilton: excessive public attention is reason for move to Switzerland. Speaking to the BBC News last night, he said: "Over there people don't come up to you, they leave you alone and give you space. I'm going to a country that I don't know, but it's very exciting. It was a tough decision, though my dream for years was to move to London. I stayed at a friend's house this weekend in London and I woke up in the morning and just knew it was where I wanted to be but I will meet new people, new faces and I do have a few friends there and my family and friends from home will be able to come visit me. When I was coming up I knew there were sacrifices you have to make, but you lose your ability to go places. You can't understand what that means until you get there and you really struggle to lead a normal life. I haven't been able to spend much time with my friends or my family, it's not like a normal job, you're travelling all the time, you live out of your suitcase and it's tough to manage that and still live a normal life. When you come home and everybody knows you, it makes it so much harder to do normal things. I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs." Others have been speculating that it's all to do with greed. Oh really.................. Who the Gods will destroy, they grant their every wish |
