Hamilton camp in talks with Julian Jakobi?

UPDATE This rumor is downgraded to 'false' today. Silverstone winner and joint championship points leader Lewis Hamilton on Wednesday denied reports he is considering appointing a professional manager to handle his formula one career.

We reported earlier this week that the McLaren driver's current manager, his father Anthony Hamilton, was last Sunday at Silverstone spotted in deep conversation with renowned F1 driver-manager Julian Jakobi.

When asked about the rumors as he tested at Hockenheim, 23-year-old Hamilton replied: "It's not correct, no. I am very content with my management team."

07/07/08 (GMM) Lewis Hamilton's formula one career may soon be guided by a professional manager, according to speculation.

The McLaren's driver's current manager, his father Anthony Hamilton, was on Sunday spotted in deep conversation at the Silverstone circuit with renowned F1 manager Julian Jakobi.

Jakobi, who also worked with Juan Pablo Montoya, is famous for having simultaneously managed Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna.

The Hamilton camp reportedly denied the rumor.

Anthony Hamilton said in May: "I haven't met an agent who can offer us anything we can't do ourselves."
