Clearly a poor negotiation by his weak agent....we already know the celebutards can't read/count....

POS isn't even an 030....

SL63 030's remain uncommon (much like '09 SL65s), though still rapidly depreciating, in BevHills/Malibu...gotta love a recession...

No way that is Hamilton! I don't even think he was trying to be him. It's just some guy in an SL in Beverly Hills.

For those who don't know, Lewis Hamilton is a British F1 driver.
He hates being recognized, so the last thing he would do is drive an open top sports car round Beverly hills, let alone anywhere else.He became famous
when he started winning Grand Prix's just over a year ago. Instead of being grateful for the attention he was receiving he went on television and accused
the public of abusing him!! Let's face it your bound to want his autograph
if you bumped into him at a gas station. Any way he buggered off to the land of cuckoo clocks and cow bells to avoid his admirers. He is not modest, in
fact quite cocky, a good but very aggressive driver. Personally I'm not impressed.

The only autograph I would want from anyone is on a check.

He has always given me the impression of being arrogant and 'full of himself'. But I have to admit he is a brilliant driver.

Oh please get over yourself man. So any car that doesn't have 030 automatically fails in your eyes.

If you saw the TV interview with him where he says that people who asked
for his autograph were abusing him, you would realize how much he hates
attention unless he is on the race track. This guy in the pics has obviously
grown sideboards exactly the same as Hamilton and is posing hoping that someone would think it was him, believe me Hamilton would have the roof up
and be wearing a hat and mask. Personally a picture of just the car would have been more interesting.
Also I think you'll find Hamilton shaves his head, I don't think it's receding,
he's too young.

I've heard quite the opposite from a colleague at work who claims to know him.
Although he does dislike the attention and he tries to avoid it, he understands that he's become an attraction. He says that Hamilton is a down to earth guy and hasn't changed since his fame has arrived.

I've had a similar discussion with a guy (who I don't really know) that had a chance to spend some time with him at an LA car event. He said LH was very guarded initially but then acted like "one of the guys" when it became clear that he wasn't being fawned over. He was with Adrian Sutil, who was termed more outgoing at the beginning but both were good examples of young guys who were dealing very well with fame.

You certainly seem to know a few people. Do you work in the industry, perhaps you know him personally.
I know one thing, he would not drive around Beverly Hills with roof and windows down, also if it was him the paparazzi would be every where.
This guys just a poser.

Could be this guy is just following his own business, and not trying to impersonate someone he happens to have a likeness to. Why all of a sudden this dude in the picture is a "poseur"? Ain't like he stamped "Hamilton" a badge on his jeans!!! BTW, I would totally buy it that he was in fact Hamilton, and that the car is simply a daily driver from his team sponsor.

Hamilton, let's face it, could have the still-unreleased Speedster SLR for a "loaner" car if he wanted to, so WSH, STFU on how poor his handlers negotiated.
