After the most sensational debut in Formula 1 history, Lewis Hamilton has become a household name and front-page news around the world. Right from the start of the 2007 F1 season Hamilton caused a huge stir, finishing third in his first race scoring his maiden victory, in the Canadian Grand Prix, in only his sixth race and achieving nine consecutive podium positions. The 22-year-old Englishman has revitalised F1: his lack of arrogance and cool-headedness seem at odds with the traditional make-up of F1 stars, and his supreme confidence, self-control and natural talent enhance his status as a sporting icon.
