On your bike, Lewis!

-

WHEN it comes to hypocrisy, F1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton takes the biscuit.

Here we have a man who has become a multi-millionair­e through driving high-powered, gas-guzzling racing cars, flies around the world to races from his tax haven home and enjoys holidaying on luxury yachts, but who does he decide to blame for climate change?

Farmers like me, of course! Those villains who flog their guts out for long hours, often for little gain, producing food for this country.

If Hamilton is so concerned about the planet, it would be more logical to ban F1 and get on his bike.

LYN JENKINS, Gwbert, Cardigan. THOUGH I agree wholeheart­edly with Lewis Hamilton’s analysis on how to reduce our carbon footprint, I question his credibilit­y.

For someone who has been responsibl­e for pouring tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it sounds a little hollow.

Selling his private jet is hardly making amends for his past.

JOHN ATKINS, Greatstone, Kent. IS LEWIS Hamilton’s pleading for his fans to go vegan simply to offset his massive F1 carbon footprint?

JOHN COOK, Wantage, Oxon. WILL Lewis Hamilton now be racing pedal cars?

A. J. WYETH, Basingstok­e, Hants.
