James Hunt was known to F1 afficionado's as 'Hunt the Shunt' for his particular talent of crashing his cars in his earlier years in motor racing.
One wonders what nick name will come to be associatd with Lewis Hamilton if he continues in his present vein.
Along with a couple of spectacular shunts in the Grands Prix last year, one of which probably cost him the world championship, Lewis also managed to stuff his former Go Kart into a barrier, whilst demonstrating his skills to its new owner.
This year we have seen him career into the back of the stationary Kimi Raikonnen, ending both of their races.
Yesterday he was crewing on the Hugo Boss yacht and guess what?
Yep, it was in a collision with a competitor, before it had even crossed the start line, putting the competitor out of the race and earning a disqualification for the team.
It looks like the only good news for Hamilton is that not many things can be made to rhyme with his name to make a catchy tag.
It does seem like he attracts bad luck though, so perhaps he'll just end up being Jonah Lewis (you'll always find him in the kitchen at parties).
