Hamilton decides to leave Britain


"I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs"
Lewis Hamilton

Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton is to move to Switzerland to escape the excessive public and media attention he has had in Britain over the last year.

The McLaren driver, who came second in the drivers' championship in his debut F1 season, will join Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen in Switzerland.

"Over there people don't come up to you, they leave you alone and give you space," the 22-year-old told BBC Sport.

"I'm going to a country that I don't know but it's very exciting."
