Gutsy fightbacks from positions down among the no-hopers have earned the former champion harsh words from fellow drivers at Grand Prix briefings and behind the scenes. His ruthless overtaking at 200mph-plus has upset his challengers and team bosses alike.
But Hammy, 25, boasts he is in the best form of his career and is producing some of his greatest races.
He and German wonderboy Sebastian Vettel were hauled before race bosses for a dangerous wheel-to-wheel charge down the crowded pit lane in China.
And Aussie tough guy Mark Webber accused Hamilton of barging him off the track. But Hamilton’s all-action, flat-out challenges have been hailed by Ecclestone who said: “People should stop moaning about Lewis and the way he drives.
“He has been absolutely brilliant this season with some spectacular and courageous moves. I love his style and so do the fans.”
And Hamilton is refusing to change his style, warning: “I have been doing it the hard way but I do what I have to do. I am a racer. And a winner. It’s my job. It’s what I do best.”
