Bernie Ecclestone has detailed the reasons why Lewis Hamilton is disliked by some people, whilst also arguing the British driver is not as talented as many consider him to be.

Ex-F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has outlined why people “dislike” Lewis Hamilton, who is in the midst of readying himself for a first season with Ferrari.

The seven-time F1 drivers’ champion and the storied Italian team’s partnership has been widely viewed as the most iconic in the history of the series which Ecclestone owned for several decades.

There is no love lost between the 94-year-old and the British driver, who have both previously engaged the media to criticise the other.
