Clarkson: Lewis is what? A race car driver? Or a superstar?

      Jeremy Clarkson, the famous British TV presenter known around the world for programs such as Top Gear, Grand Tour and "Clarkson's Farm," criticized Lewis Hamilton in his column in the pages of the London tabloid The Sun for the way the seven-time world champion framed his first appearance at Ferrari's Maranello base.

      "If he's so keen to win an eighth title, you'd expect him to show up at the team's base and immediately take an interest in the secrets of its car to see how to fully exploit the potential of its racing arsenal," Clarkson reasoned in his characteristic emphatically sarcastic tone. - Instead, he arrived in an SUV, wearing a suit and tie, and posed for photographers. Then he went to mingle with the fans... and then he was given a tour of the team's headquarters, and we saw the engineers bowing to him and applauding him. It was only on Wednesday that he finally went to the track to drive a three-year-old Ferrari car. I was told that his new home was not next door to the team's base, but in Milan. And that he doesn't even drive a Ferrari road car, but prefers a helicopter provided to him by Fiat. Lewis is what? A racing driver? Or a superstar?... Hamilton has a job to do, and his task is to get ahead of Charles Leclair, his teammate, who speaks Italian, knows the team, doesn't spend so much time on photo shoots and is considered one of the fastest drivers. Perhaps Lewis is aware of all this. Or maybe he signed with Ferrari for a different reason, as he knows that the peak of his form is behind him, but he doesn't want to retire without becoming a driver for the most famous team. Anyway, I wish him success."
