Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has said he does not care whether or not he is liked.
The 32-year-old sealed his fourth title this season, making him the most successful British Formula One driver of all time. But if the Mercedes driver remains a polarising figure with some, he insists that does not bother him.
"I don't really feel anything," he said in an interview with BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek. "I know what my values are, I know what I've achieved and I know where me and my family have come from. I don't rely on acceptance from any source other than my family and myself so honestly I couldn't care if [popularity] was more or less.
