Hamilton Followed By Press

It's hardly new news but Lewis Hamilton continues to be followed by press photographers eager to record anything he does and anyone he does it with.

He took a recent holiday during the Formula One break in the Mediterranean on one of his employers yachts, and was seen frolicking with his employers daughter.

Now hot on the heels of that he has been snapped with another beauty, this time leaving a London cinema where they saw the Bourne Ultimatium.

The 22-year-old racing driver looked startled when photographers snapped him leaving the Odeon in Marble Arch with an oriental-looking lady with blonde hair on Tuesday night.

Staff at the cinema said they had been to see the 7pm showing of The Bourne Ultimatum and were joined by a larger man - perhaps a bodyguard - who sat near them during the film. For the record, they bought popcorn, fizzy drinks and Maltesers.

Onlookers said they appeared "very comfortable in each other's company - they were laughing and joking and mucking around".

The photographers who took the pictures added that they left the cinema "looking like a couple", yet once they realised they had been spotted they turned around and tried to walk back in among the crowds.

They eventually emerged with Hamilton looking rather sheepish with the young lady walking a few paces behind.

Intriguingly, a spokesman for Hamilton had a different version, saying: "Lewis says he went to the cinema with a group of friends.

"He says he was not just with the girl in the picture, and that in fact she is the fiancee of one of his best friends."
