Of friends and flings
 |
He is the wonder boy of Formula 1, the driver they say will be the first black man to ever win motor racing’s ultimate trophy. In fact, sport marketers are already tipping him to outsell, out-charm a certain Tiger Woods. Just two years ago, no one outside the motor racing world knew a thing about Lewis Hamilton. Now, he is the darling of the British press, the one athlete that everyone wants to get a piece of. From cricket legend Shane Warne to hip hop maestro P Diddy, from footballers to rugby legends, Hamilton is the man’s man. Rumours of his flings come thick and fast too, with racy links with Nicole Scherzinger of The Pussycat Dolls to Australia’s Dannii Minogue. Still only 23, some say he will be the first billionaire sportsman by the time his career is over. Shocking.
