Hamilton: I'd be 'devastated' if my reputation was 'tainted' like Schumi's
Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he would be ‘devastated’ were his reputation to be ‘tainted’ like that of record-breaking multiple F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher – as the McLaren-Mercedes star insisted he wants to go down in grand prix history as a ‘fair and clean’ competitor who ‘always drove with his heart’.
Schumacher has arrived in Monaco this weekend to a barrage of questions about his infamous ‘parking’ indiscretion at Rascasse during qualifying the last time he competed there back in 2006 [see separate story – click here] – one of a number of incidents that has somewhat tarnished the German legend’s global image and legacy, for all of the outstanding brilliance that yielded him an unparalleled seven world titles at the highest level.
