What did Lewis Hamilton say about his hometown Stevenage?
In December 2018 Hamilton angered people from his hometown of Stevenage when he referred to it as a “slum.”
During an interview on stage at the SPOTY awards he told Gaby Logan: “It’s been a really long journey, a dream for us all, as a family, to do something different, to get out of the slums.
“Well, we would say it’s not the slums, but just come out from somewhere and do something. We all set our goals very high but we did it as a team.”
Sharon Taylor, the leader of Stevenage borough council said it was “disappointing” and people felt “very offended” by what Hamilton had said.
Hamilton relocated to Switzerland in 2007 and then Monaco in 2010 – partly due to tax reasons.
What happened at Lewis Hamilton’s debut F1 season?
Hamilton’s Formula One debut came in 2007 and that season he won four races and secured six poles.
Amazingly, he made the podium in his first nine races and outperformed champion team mate Fernando Alonso.
He was actually title-favourite until errors in final two rounds dropped him to second place behind Kimi Raikkonen.
How many times has Lewis been Formula One world champion?
Hamilton has been world champion five times – in 2008, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.
In 2008, aged 23, he became the youngest ever world champion after five wins and a further five podiums took him to the title by a single point.
2014 saw him enjoy Mercedes F1 W05 Hybrid’s dominance, taking 11 wins en route to his second world title. Team-mate Rosberg pushed him all the way with the championship only decided in the final race.
In 2017 he won the Mexican Grand Prix and defended his title again in 2018.
He’s the first British driver to win back to back titles.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
