Lewis Hamilton has moved to Monaco, the home of his favourite Grand Prix, after deciding Switzerland was too “boring” for him.McLaren’s 2008 world champion has left Switzerland, his home for the past few years, for a new base in the Mediterranean principality where he will have several F1 drivers as neighbours.“I just fancied a change,” the 27-year-old said, adding that he had moved in “a week or so ago”.“It was a bit boring where I was living before, not many people around, so it was good to move,” added the Briton, who had lived most recently in Zurich after a spell in Geneva.Hamilton limbered up for the season, which starts in Melbourne next week, by driving reporters around a track in southern England in McLaren’s fearsome MP4-12C GT3 race-spec sportscar.He looked sharp, hungry to be back behind the wheel and determined to focus on the future.The championship opens with four long-haul races but the Briton, who had a nightmare season last year while trying to keep alive a transatlantic relationship with American singer Nicole Scherzinger, intends to be more settled in 2012.He said he now planned to spend much more of his time at home when in Europe.Hamilton won three races last year but ended up beaten overall by team mate Jenson Button, the 2009 world champion, in a championship dominated by Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel.
