Hamilton wants to jet into space

Tue 02 Dec, 09:11 AM


Lewis Hamilton is planning to spend an incredible (US) $1m on Christmas presents.

The 2008 world champion reportedly wants to take his girlfriend Nicole, and three members of his family, into space.

The Evening Standard said the five tickets on a 2010 flight of the highly exclusive new Virgin Galactic airline will cost the 23-year-old McLaren driver just shy of $1m.

"Lewis thinks it would be the perfect way to say thank you to Nicole and his family for their support throughout his triumphant year," said a source.

  1. Eric : A simple micro switch that prevented the car from engaging first gear until the fuel nozzle was removed would help resolve the issue.

  2. I always thought that Hamilton was up himself, but jeeez, SPACE??
    O.K Lewis take em all, you think you are all that, but youre not much more than a one hit wonder. There is more talent out there than you.
    You've deserted this country, so go away an stay away.

  6. sdbuckley I could not agree more I feel that silly light system cost Felipe the title. It's like anything...technology is great....when it works that is. I think Ferrari simply tried to do too much with something as simple as a lolly pop and the results are now obvious. In addition I feel all teams are faced with a similar challange in that the refuling nozzel's seem to be somewhat problematic and I would have thought the supplier for those would have worked out all the possible kinks in that by now. Red light, lolly pop whatever the refuling rigs still need some refining in my opinion.

  8. ericmueller1971, the Ferrari team don't understand trafic lights as well, I seem to remember one of the pit crew being run over, the fuel hose ending up at the end of the pit lane and several unsafe releases from the pit lane that went unpunished.

  12. With regard to Mr. Hamilton - Don't hate the player hate the game. Let the best driver win (again) in 2009. Good luck Mr. Hamilton. Note- Like X racer said, space is not safe. Especially civilian space flight since it has a very short history. Go Vikings!!
    Make it a great day!

  13. ericmueller1971 - 'learn how to drive' lmfao you complete @#$%. i mean really, your insulting the world champoin of formula 1 (making him one of the best drivers in the world). Why do you have to be so bitchy, show some respect to an incredibly talentad lad, no matter who you support.

  14. oh look Tiger Woods wants to go into space isn't that nice...what a ho mo..I thought it would be impossible for me to loose more respect for him but this is dumb. Instead of going into space he should learn how to drive first don't you think?

  17. I know a little of that space program and it ain't all that safe. Space travel is not as safe as F1. Have fun good luck.

  18. I'm a Ferrari owner and I don't think anyone cheated. LH won fair and square. Fella's, let's move on. This year is over and done with. I'm just envious because we don't have an F1 race to go too here in the USA. It's gonna be an interesting 2009 with the new cars. I just hope they don't go with the Medal system of scoring. Thoughts?

  19. Hello Touronroute, I think you are missing the point. Hamilton was n't given it. He won it. Kimi was given it last year though by massa..

  20. Ferrari fans calling McLaren cheats? Thats a bit like the kittle calling the pot black. flexwing and flexing floors spring to mind. Don't throw stones, when you live in the greenhouse.
