FORMER neighbours of Sir Lewis Hamilton have fondly remembered his time in their town but said one of his remarks went down “like a lead balloon”. “And there’s not many postmen can say they were once run over by Lewis Hamilton!”. Lewis lived in one with his father and stepmother, while his mum lived in the one next door. There used to be a blue and white plaque on the side of Trevor’s house saying that Lewis Hamilton once lived there. Once this Formula One season is over, six-times world champion Hamilton plans to leave his Mercedes team and join rivals Ferrari in a multi-million pound deal.
