From The Times:
“I’ve decided to move to Switzerland,” Hamilton said. “You lose your ability to go places. You struggle to have a normal life.”
“It’s been a tough year. I’ve not been able to spend a lot of time with my friends, my family. You come home and everybody knows you, it makes it so much harder to do normal things.”
Of Switzerland, a tax haven, he said: “People don’t come up to you. They leave you, they give you space.”
Sorry to see you go Lewis, but this is reality for many famous people, and you won’t be any different. While it is true that your personal life may never be the same again, and even in Switzerland, you may not be able to do as many normal things as you did before you turned professional. There’s going to be more pressure on you from now on, even though you narrowly failed to win the Formula 1 drivers’ championship in your first season.
At least you will be able to escape high-tax Britain. Unfortunately, many people back home will continue to struggle to work for their weekly wage, just to have a near-decent a life like yours.
