Exclusive: Hamilton To Manage Hamilton

Taking The Pits can exclusively reveal that Anthony Hamilton will be returning to sports management this year. However, he will not be managing his son Lewis or anyone in F1 for that matter. Hamilton is moving into the cut throat world of World Snooker, managing a player of the same name, Anthony Hamilton.


Anthony Hamilton is known in the snooker world as "The Sheriff of Pottingham", having been born in Nottingham. Hamilton was once a force in snooker; he is known as a prolific break builder and was #10 in the world at the height of his career. He played so well in the 99/2000 season that he said he was "...potting like a Casanova".

Recently he has dropped out of the top 16 and is delighted that he will be managed by the father of a world champion. "I am pleased to have him on board, if anyone can help me improve it's Anthony. He will make sure I have to do very little work and gain maximum success".

New manager Hamilton also joked about the differences between F1 and Snooker "The great thing about Anthony being a snooker player is, if he loses, he won't be able to blame the team!"
