Lewis Hamilton to no longer be a Brit

I've not been able to spend a lot of time with my friends, my family. "You come home and everyone knows you, it makes it so much harder to do normal things. "I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs. "It's tough but I knew that was going to be the case.
