BERNIE ECCLESTONE BACKS UP LEWIS HAMILTON

FORMULA One ringmaster Bernie ­Ecclestone has blasted daredevil Lewis Hamilton’s knockers, telling them: “Get off his back.”

Gutsy fightbacks from positions down among the no-hopers have earned the former champion harsh words from fellow drivers at Grand Prix briefings and behind the scenes.

His ruthless overtaking at 200mph-plus has upset his challengers and team bosses alike.

But Hammy, 25, boasts he is in the best form of his career and is ­producing some of his greatest races.

He and German wonderboy ­Sebastian Vettel were hauled before race bosses for a dangerous wheel-to-wheel charge down the crowded pit lane in China.

And Aussie tough guy Mark Webber accused Hamilton of barging him off the track. But Hamilton’s all-action, flat-out challenges have been hailed by ­Ecclestone who said: “People should stop moaning about Lewis and the way he drives.

“He has been absolutely brilliant this season with some spectacular and ­courageous moves. I love his style and so do the fans.”

And Hamilton is refusing to change his style, warning: “I have been doing it the hard way but I do what I have to do. I am a racer. And a winner. It’s my job. It’s what I do best.”
