Lewis Hamilton described as 'an annoying customer to have on the other side of the garage'


Lewis Hamilton has been given a compliment by Williams head of vehicle performance Dave Robson. The Mercedes driver won his sixth Barcelona Grand Prix on Sunday night. While Robson praised Hamilton's undeniable talent, he also admitted that teammates can find him frustrating. "He's an annoying customer to have on the other side of the garage, for sure, but he is a phenomenal talent," he told GPFans. "What he's done is a phenomenal achievement, and against some fairly impressive team-mates along the way as well. Obviously, I've not worked with him for quite a few years, but it's something he's always had "There is that something about him isn't there, that special quality you can't really define. That was obvious from when he was just a kid." Robson added: "I took him testing at Elvington, going up and down the runway, and he was bored stiff after 10 minutes. Whereas most kids, when you took them to Elvington, they were just chuffed to bits to be in an F1 car, even when they were just going up and down the runway. [But] He was different right from the beginning, and he just has that talent and that tremendous attitude, so you have to take your hat off to him."
