Lewis Hamilton has confirmed he has relocated from his former residence in Switzerland to Monaco, after admitting it was a “bit boring”.
“I just fancied a change,” said the McLaren driver. “It was a bit boring where I was living before, not many people around, so it was good to move.”
Monaco is home to several drivers, partly because of the lifestyle it offers and partly because it’s a tax haven. Hamilton says his choice is based on the fact that it will offer him a better socal life.
“Where I’ve moved to there are quite a lot of people that I know there, quite a lot of the drivers are there. So there’s a bit more of a social life, there’s better weather, it’s by the sea, overall just a bit better.
“It’s kind of cool that you get to be at home whilst a Grand Prix is going on. I think it will be pretty neat. I can meet up with quite a few of the drivers if I want to do training, and my trainer is also just up the road,” he added.
“I’ve settled down quite well there. I still have loads of boxes to unpack, but I’m sure I can get someone to do that for me.”
