Lewis Hamilton

I am an avid Formula 1 fan (as if you didn't know). I've been watching since the days of Minardi and Sauber, the Schumacher era, I think it was Mika Hakkinen's last season when I first saw F1. Anyway, this year was extremely competitive unlike the days when Schumacher had the season decided with 3 races to go, this was like last year, it went down to the very last race.

The last race in Brazil was extremely intense and went down to the wire, but there can only be one, and that was Lewis Hamilton winning the Driver's Championship by one single point. If you watched the last two laps, that was the whole race. Hamilton was down in fifth, which was fine because he would win the championship anyway, but then Vettel came from nowhere and was able to overtake Hamilton! So everyone thought that this was gonna be Massa's race, but they were wrong. When Massa crossed the line, the celebration started which would soon turn to silence and disbelief as Hamilon crossed the line... In fifth place! Winning him the championship. What happened was, in the midst of all the madness, Timo Glock was overtaken! Nobody seemed to notice, even Massa.

This season was awesome! Hamilton becomes the youngest ever Driver's Champion. I hope the season will be just as intense next year! See you in Australia '09.
