Oh wait you mean like this same interview that has already been done?
Hi Clayton,
The interview you shared with us is dated August 28th, 2011 whereas our interview with Mr. Hamilton was done on February 1st 2011. Nobody is copying each other. It seems that the site you shared with us and Carsxhype both interviewed Mr. Hamilton at different stages in his drifting career.
