London, Mar. 15 (ANI): Lewis Hamilton has ended his year-long search for a new manager by teaming up with the sports and showbiz mogul who looks after David Beckham’s interests.According to The Sun, the 26-year-old ace has signed for Simon Fuller’s new company, XIX Entertainment.
As well as Becks, the firm also manages tennis star Andy Murray, Sir Michael Caine and Fuller’s long-time pals The Spice Girls.
He said: “I spoke to many interested companies in recent months but I felt Simon Fuller along with his team not only wanted to help me become an even better racing driver, but also shared my ambitions for the longer term.”
Fuller said he had met Lewis and his father several times in the past and had “kept an eye on his career closely over the years”.
He added: “Like any British fan I watched with pride and admiration at his achievements, incredibly winning the world championship at such a young age. Lewis is not only one of the leading sportsmen of his generation, he will, I believe, become one of the best of all time.”
Anthony Hamilton called the tie-up “great news for Lewis and for Simon”. (ANI)
