Surer defends Hamilton's lifestyle amid Ecclestone criticism

Former F1 driver turned pundit for German television Sky, Marc Surer, has defended Hamilton following the latest criticism of Bernie Ecclestone.

Ecclestone has said he thought Hamilton's lifestyle antics were becoming excessive, but Surer insisted: "Lewis always gives everything on the track.

"He is also allowed to enjoy his life. As long as he is still on top form, I see no problem at all. "I can't really understand the criticism, because Bernie had only recently praised Lewis for always being on the red carpet."
