Lewis Hamilton has not been able to defend his crown due to the team’s miscalculation of his front wing aerodynamics which had thrown off his cars ability to create sufficient down force to maintain speed around high speed corners. After winning spectacularly at the season finale in 2008, Lewis has finally stormed back into form in the last 3 races at the Nürburgring, Budapest and Valencia and can now compete with his rivals. He has this to say about the year past and ahead:

Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton was born on 7 January 1985 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. He currently holds the record for the youngest ever Formula One World Champion.

When Lewis was 10 years old, he was approached by Ron Dennis at the 1995 Autosport Awards ceremony where he told him, “I want to race for you one day.” McLaren and Mercedes-Benz signed Lewis to their Young Driver Support Program at the age of 13. Having his career path practically predetermined, Lewis went on to win Formula Renault, Formula Three and GP2 championships in consecutive years. Ron Dennis then made the early decision to put Lewis in his McLaren F1 driver in 2007.

Lewis stunned Formula One fans around the world with his raw talent and amazing composure under pressure in 2007 and only just lost the Formula One Championship by one point to Kimi Räikkönen. The second time around, Lewis went one better beating Felipe Massa by the same one point margin.

Having started so young and so successfully, Lewis has a tremendous career ahead of him to potentially be one of the all time greats.
