Examples of Hamilton in a Sentence

1. Lewis Hamilton:

   Niki told me about the day he just didn't enjoy it any more. Until that happens then I guess Lewis Hamilton'll keep going, whilst I got this championship, I really don't feel that's it, I feel like it's just the beginning. So I'm just going to keep pushing.

2. Gary Howe:

   It's ridiculous, especially when U.S. Steel Canada (took) just a day to think about it. This is going to cause people in Hamilton to be extremely upset and it's irresponsible.

3. Mark Webber:

   I think he needs a couple more lieutenants, he needs to have less responsibility in the team and just more reassurance that the Monday to Friday stuff is going to be dealt with, seb's still has got it, but it's a real challenge to stay ahead against a Mercedes-Lewis Hamilton factor week in and week out.

4. John Fitzgerald Kennedy:

   To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from writing the Declaration of Independence, Washington from commanding the Continental Army, Madison from fathering the Constitution, Hamilton from serving as secretary of the treasury, Clay from being elected speaker of the House and Christopher Columbus from discovering America.

5. Maine Gov. Paul LePage:

   When a snot-nosed little guy from Westbrook calls me a racist, now I’d like him to come up here because, tell you right now, I wish it were 1825, and we would have a duel, that’s how angry I am, and I would not put my gun in the air, I guarantee you, I would not be (Alexander) Hamilton. I would point it right between his eyes, because he is a snot-nosed little runt and he has not done a damn thing since he’s been in this Legislature to help move the state forward.
