London, Jan. 5 : Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton fears being dragged into a tribunal hearing over gay discrimination allegations.

According to the Daily Star, Lewis could be called to give evidence at the potentially explosive ten-day hearing, which starts tomorrow.

It involves bombshell claims from the personal private jet steward to Ron Dennis - Lewis's McLaren team boss - that he was unfairly sacked over unfounded rumours that he is homosexual.

Peter Boland, 27, told an initial hearing last year in Southampton that relations with Dennis broke down after the claims were circulated among colleagues. (ANI)
