Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton is the full name of this new stars of Formula One. He was born on January 7, in 1985 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. British Formula One racing driver from England is currently racing for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team.

Lewis would be the first, if there weren’t Kimi Räikkönen at Formula One Championship in 2007. This first black mixed race driver, to compete in Formula One, has already won the British Formula Renault, European Formula Three and GP2 championship. This boys prediction has come true. Lewis was only ten when he approached McLaren team principal, Ron Dennis at an awards ceremony and told him he would drive for McLaren one day. So, he is. Three years later, Hamilton was signed by McLaren and Mercedes-Benz to their Young Driver Support Programme. Even more, as we see 12 years after Hamilton made his Formula One debut with the McLaren team. He wants to stay in the McLaren team for the rest of his F1 career.

Let us watch. I think this young man has a chance to be a real star.

Thanks for the info. Is next season the one when he wins the championship then guys? I'm thinking it could be another frustrating season for the young Briton...?

Well, Hamilton has everything to make it. He is talented, full of energy and enthusiasm. I don't see a reason why he cannot win the 2008th title. But you know how unpredictable Formula 1 can be. You never know what happens. So, let's wait and see how it goes.
