Hamilton identifies with beaten Pacquiao (Reuters)

By Alan Baldwin BARCELONA (Reuters) – Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he can see something of himself in Manny Pacquiao, even if the Filipino lost the ‘Fight of the Century’ last weekend. The Mercedes driver had a ringside seat at the welterweight’s title fight in Las Vegas with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and surprisingly identified more with the beaten boxer than the winner. He was the attacking one,” Hamilton told reporters at the Spanish Grand Prix on Thursday. Hamilton, winner of three of four races so far this season, faces his own fight at the Circuit de Catalunya this weekend and can deliver another big blow to team mate and title rival Nico Rosberg.
