Hamilton 'despide' a papá y contrata a un mánager profesional
http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/motor/formula1/es/desarrollo/1143586.html
Durante el año y medio que Lewis Hamilton lleva peleando entre los mejores pilotos del mundo, hay una sombra, una imagen, que le ha acompañado a todos y cada uno de los grandes premios que ha disputado: su padre Anthony. Es el celoso guardaespaldas de su carrera y quien le lleva asesorando desde que el chaval empezaba en los karts a los once años. Hasta ahora.

El piloto británico y su círculo de confianza se han dado cuenta de que su imagen empieza a ser un filón y quieren explotarla al máximo. Lewis ya es imagen de Reebok y Pepsi, contratos logrados por su padre, pero quiere más. De hecho, el plan es convertirle en el nuevo Beckham con su imagen.

Julian Jakobi, un tipo influyente
Para ello, Lewis ha decidido contratar los servicios de un mánager profesional, que lleve sus asuntos económicos y de imagen, liberando a su padre de esta tarea y dejándole, solamente, al frente del aspecto deportivo. El elegido es uno de los hombres más influyentes dentro del gran circo. Se trata de Julian Jakobi, uno de los mánagers más cotizados del mercado y que ya tuvo con él a gente como Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna o Juan Pablo Montoya, al que consiguió contratos de imagen multimillonarios.

De esta forma, Hamilton también se desvincula en ciertos aspectos de Ron Dennis. El patrón de McLaren siempre ha sido un segundo padre para él, pero ahora parece que el piloto se ha cansado un poco de su control, que ya le ha llevado a más de una discusión por las apariciones públicas del piloto.

Lewis Hamilton fires father Anthony, hires pro manager?
Ayrton Senna’s ex-manager to manage Lewis
Anthony Hamilton is never far from his superstar son. Hamilton Snr. has played a huge part in Lewis’s development, but now it seems that father and son are set to cool their intense working relationship.

Spanish tabloid Marca reports that Lewis is about to hire a professional manager for the first time in his career. That manager is Julian Jakobi, who is best-known in F1 circles for having simultaneously managed Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna - no easy feat.
Anthony Hamilton said in May: “I haven’t met an agent who can offer us anything we can’t do ourselves.”

You would expect the ultra-protective father to say as much, but now he realises that even he can’t control Lewis’s career single-handed. The Hamilton camp needs some professional guidance, and Jakobi is the man to provide it.

What an arrogant, pompous, manipulative and 'I'm riding the fame game on the shirt tail of my son" fawk! :twisted: It seem's Lewis is growing up which is a good thing.

Lewis: "You will still get your monthly check dad dont worry so you can pay for the CGT you crashed :rolleyes: but stay the fawk out of my pit garage during a race"!

Nobody said he had done a bad job as he got Lewis to F1 but now that the goal has been accomplished he is out of his league. His opinion, outlook and mentality are far to biased and he should realize his son now need's a professional manager with experience, is it really that difficult for you to see? :(

Us lot :hehe: ! How about you stop defending everything that has too do with Lewis and gain some perspective to the whole picture? :rolleyes: Honestly it's quite sickening. :thumbdown:

I wasnt defending lewis (he needs no defending from me) I was talking about his father and if you read more carefully you would see that i agreed he is out of his depth. Just dont think theres any need for the unplesantness against the guy for doing his best. Sorry if I sicken you.

You do not personaly sicken me but coming to, no running to, the defense of anything that pertain's to Lewis does. I read your very comment very carefully, thank you, and my reply was in accordance with my perception of your post.

Lewis is stunning but I do not run to his defence all the time. I have said he has made three errors this season. I say again you do not read the posts properly, you see what you want to see. On this occassion i was refering to his father not lewis.
