F1世界冠军得主

Lewis Hamilton was born in 1985. When he was six, his father gave him a radio-controlled car and he began to join in competitions, even against adults. From this very young age, Lewis's dream was to become a Formula 1 driver. So his father bought him a go-kart and he started the go-kart racing in 1993 when he was only eight years old. He won a couple of races, and he knew that he had to win more.

One day, when he was 10 years old, Lewis met a man called Ron Dennis. Dennis was the boss of the McLaren Formula 1 team. Lewis asked Dennis for his autograph, saying, "My name is Lewis Hamilton and one day I want to drive your cars." Ron Dennis wrote in his autograph book, "Phone me nine years from now, we'll sort something out." In fact, when Hamilton won his first go-kart championship a few years later, Ron Dennis phoned him, and in 1999 Lewis joined McLaren's "Young Drivers" programme. He was the youngest person ever to do this.

In 2001 world Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher raced against Lewis in a go-kart race and said, "He's a quality driver, very strong and only 16. If he keeps this up, I'm sure he will reach F1."

Schumacher was right. Lewis started as a driver in F1 races in 2007. Then in 2008, at the age of 23, Lewis became the youngest world champion in F1 history when he finished one point ahead of Felipe Massa.

Lewis had a dream, and he followed it and found what he wanted. And that's success!
