HUMBLE BEGINNINGS Lewis Hamilton ‘ran me over’ in go kart aged 7 – neighbours love him but one of his remarks went down like lead balloon

Locals said they knew the Formula One ace was destined for greatness when he hurtled round their council estate on a go-kart at the age of seven.

And the local postman revealed exclusively how Lewis had his first crash, when he ran slap-bang into his legs as he delivered mail in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.

“I shouted ‘Hey, look out, you little bugger’,” said the postie, who asked not to be named.

“Then he whacked into me, going like the clappers on his little cart.

“But Lewis did say ‘sorry’. He was a lovely lad and his family were very nice people too. I often used to chat to his dad.

“I’m not at all surprised he ended up as world champion.

“And there’s not many postmen can say they were once run over by Lewis Hamilton!”

Former engineer Peter Fuller, 80, who lived just down the road from the Hamilton family, told how he would often “straighten out” Lewis’s go-kart after he’d had “a bump”.

“He used to play with my kids,” said Peter.
