Doesn’t Lewis Hamilton live in Monaco to avoid tax ??

Everyone seems to love him despite that ..

piggott was an actual criminal, found guilty and a very unpleasant guy as well, so he is no legend to me

One of my dad’s favourite jockeys.
We knew a young jockey that worked for him at his stables.

There's two things certain in life, death and Piggott on a favourite.

Ref : Ch4HDnews.They should have given him it back after he served his punishment. Infact they should have given him a Knighthood. The greatest in his field of work that this country has ever produced. Hero to many.

Most people who knew him say he was very quiet and didn't say much but when he did speak people listened and respected him.

Being an arsehole isn't a crime, we can all be one of those from time to time. Just look how disrespectful you're being towards a guy on the day of his death, some people would say you're being a bit of one.
