2008 World Champion Lewis Hamilton may have said that he is in no rush to find a new manager, as he already has good people round him. But Former F1 driver David Coulthard has urged Lewis to get a new manager to keep his feet on the ground after his eventful weekend at Australia.
"I'm leaving it for a while," Lewis Hamilton quoting in the Daily Mail. "I am happy at the moment. It's a big transition, and I have a lot of good people around me. There is no need to rush."
David Coulthard speaks to The Telegraph on Lewis Hamilton's situation.
"I have seen Lewis grow up and the young man I know is not only a brilliant driver but a streetwise, well-rounded character," David Coulthard wrote in The Telegraph.
"His startled, anxious response to both the lying scandal he was caught up in last year - which was in no way his fault - and now this have been out of all proportion.
"Where is the reassuring arm around his shoulder? Where is the sound advice coming from? Where is his father?
"Lewis's decision to dispense with Anthony's services as his manager last month was hailed as a coming-of-age move on his part. But the folly of not appointing a replacement showed over the weekend. Having no manager is like a top tennis player having no coach. It's fine when you are playing well but as soon as you are struggling people will point to it as a weakness.
"I don't know if they have had a bust-up but it does strike me as odd that apparently they did not speak to one another in the aftermath of Friday's incident. Either way, Lewis needs to appoint a replacement soon so he can concentrate on his day job."
