Lewis Hamilton bigger than Beckham, Woods

Speculation is that Lewis Hamilton, the English Grand Prix driver who won the Formula One title on Sunday, has more earning potential than David Beckham and Tiger Woods.

British marketing expert John Taylor says Hamilton will appeal to both genders, like Beckham, and to all races, like Woods.

The Times goes so far as to suggest that Hamilton could become the new Muhammad Ali.

There apparently was excitement throughout England about Hamilton's victory but not so much in his hometown of Stevenage.

Fair play to the lad, he has come up through the ranks and earned his dues you cannot take that away from him, or his father for that matter. Well done and good luck for a very exciting future to team Hamilton.
