| Nicole gives Hamilton a boost for Brazil Posted: 25 Nov 2011 01:09 AM PST
The McLaren driver arrived at the Interlagos circuit, where he won his 2008 title, after spending time with his ex-girlfriend in Los Angeles. Photographs were published in the media amid speculation about their seemingly negative body language but Hamilton, wearing a long set of black rosary beads and sparkling crucifix given to him by the former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman (picture), told British reporters that was far from the case. "What you didn't see is that we had a really good week. a couple of really nice lunches together," said the devout Catholic. "We had a really nice dinner together. It's very early days and we still have very strong feelings for one another and I still love her very much. So who knows? Maybe we will be together in the future." Hamilton's on-off romance has become a subject of discussion even in Formula One circles usually more interested in gear ratios than showbiz gossip because of the effect his private life apppears to have had on his track form. The 26-year-old has endured a season of crashes and controversies, repeatedly hauled before stewards and clashing with Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa as if magnetically attracted. He has won three races however, including the most recent in Abu Dhabi, but the break in California appeared to have given him more of a boost. Wise friend "I have not really thought about the last victory since the Wednesday afterwards," he said. "I was just back in the simulator and thinking about this race. "But I've had a few good really positive days since then which have meant more to me than the race win. So I've got a lot of positive energy at the moment." Despite being level on three wins each ahead of Brazil, Hamilton is sure to end the year behind Jenson Button ― the first time he has been beaten by a team mate over the course of a season in his motor racing career. He brushed that off and focused on the positives. "I feel, coming into this weekend, that this is the beginning of the future," said the Briton. "I feel the last race was the end, hopefully, and this is almost like the first race if the season ― or at least this is the beginning of what's to come. My goal this weekend is to start on the right foot." "This season has been a year of growth," he declared. "I was talking to a friend just recently who is very wise and I said that it's been a very difficult year. He said 'It's not been a difficult year, it's been a year of growth.' Hamilton said that was "one of the most positive things that I have learned this year. It really has been a year where I've just grown and I've learned a lot and can take it to next year. "I think in the future I'll look back on this season and smile and say that I needed that." Apart from the good memories of Interlagos, Sao Paulo is also the home town of his idol, the late triple champion Ayrton Senna. Hamilton will be wearing a special helmet this weekend incorporating Senna's colours and logo that will be auctioned off afterwards by the charitable foundation run by the Brazilian's sister Viviane. ― Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |

Earlier this month, YouTube and The Walt Disney Co said they were teaming up to produce an original video series and feature "family-friendly" Disney programming on the popular video-sharing site. Disney Interactive and YouTube said the programming will be available on Disney.com and on YouTube and the "complementary online video destinations" will launch in early 2012. "Disney Interactive will produce and program the co-branded video destinations for both Disney.com and YouTube, providing a family-friendly experience for viewers across both platforms," Disney and YouTube said. The programming will include original video from Disney, Disney Interactive original series, some Disney Channel programming and content created by Disney users. The first project will launch in February and will be an original video series based on Disney's mobile game "Where's My Water?" YouTube, which Google bought for US$1.65 billion (RM5.1 billion) in 2006, has been gradually adding professional content in an effort to generate revenue and announced last month that it is adding about 100 channels of original programming. YouTube remains the top online destination for amateur video, but it faces stiff competition when it comes to professional content from services such as Apple's iTunes, Hulu and Netflix. — AFP-Relaxnews Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
