CONGRATULATIONS LEWIS!!!

(posted by Leon)

Congratulations Lewis!

Britain's Lewis Hamilton has just become the youngest ever Formula 1 World Champion during a nail-biting, emotional rollercoaster of a season finale. He needed to just end in the top 5 today to win the title, and hovered around 5th for nearly the entire race. That is, until the last lap when Vettel (no hard feelings, btw!) passed him. In a feeling of utter despair, I watched the title disappear, only to see Lewis (and Vettel) pass Timo Glock on the pen-ultimate corner of the circuit, thereby pushing Lewis back up to 5th. I have never shouted so much in my entire life!!

As I live in Woking -- home of McLaren -- I decided to quickly pop out to the McLaren offices/factory just to see. There were lots of other people there, cars hooting, and just a general feeling of euphoria. The McLaren sign outside the main gate had already been updated too:


Wow! What a race! What a season! Congratulations Lewis! Bring on F1 '09!!
