Lewis Hamilton 2008 F1 World Champion

After looking like a race win for Massa and the championship as well it was all taking away from him on the last corner of the last lap. I had already given up on Lewis Hamilton becoming World Champion around 3 laps before the finish when Vettel went past him which relegated Lewis to 6th place.

To become the World F1Champion with Massa and his Ferrari in 1st place, Hamilton had to finish no lower than 5th. I’m glad I stopped around to watch the exciting climax to what turned out to be the closest finish of the 2008 F1 World Championship with Glocks Toyota struggling for grip while running dry tyres in wet conditions on the very last corner he could no longer hold off the cars behind allowing Lewis to slip by into 5th place so crowing Lewis Hamilton the youngest person ever to win a F1 World Championship and in only his 2nd year of the sport.

The Ferrari pit were already celebrating Massa’s win and the world championship when a few seconds later the news came in and the look on their faces told it all. You can see more from these Lewis Hamilton Video Compilations
