Hamilton says 'Paradise Papers' will not distract him

By Daily Sports on November 9, 2017

Lewis Hamilton says he will not let the controversy over his tax affairs "distract" him as he heads into the final two races of this season.

Hamilton is one of the high-profile figures whose tax situation came under scrutiny in the 'Paradise Papers'.

The Mercedes driver admitted in Sao Paulo on Wednesday that there was "a bit of a storm surrounding" him.

But he added: "It doesn't distract me from my core values or what I am here to do - win the Brazilian Grand Prix."

The 32-year-old Briton, who clinched his fourth world title at the last race in Mexico, is determined to win at Interlagos on Sunday and in Abu Dhabi on 26 November.

He said he had nothing specific to add to the statement - put out by his management company when the arrangements over his private jet came to light - which said his tax affairs were conducted by advisers and that he had been assured everything was "above board".

He said: "Yes the championship is done. But I still have two races. It is important to win those two races to continue to solidify what I have worked on this year.

"If I was to sit back now and just relax and let someone else take the glory, sure it would be nice for other people but that is not what I am about.

"So this weekend I am still faced with the same challenges as the last races. (BBC)
