Lewis Hamilton is the Youngest Ever F1 Champion

November 2, 2008 1:19pm CST
Lewis won the championship after his 5th place win, but, he nearly didn't score the extra final point. Timo Glock slowed down on the final few corners and Hamilton overtook him into 5th place. Well done to Lewis as world champion, but comiserations to Massa after an excellent drive to first place in Interlagos

It was a nerve breaking ending and a championship for Hamilton. A few close call from Glock give him problem at the end. Actually, he did not slow down but since the track is wet and he gambled to use a dry tire thus the result why Hamilton overtook him at the last corner. Hamilton deserves the title after all the controversy that surrounds him and the deduction impose to him in the previous races.

Yeah, I was like a foot from my tv screen in the last lap of the race. It was nervebreaking stuff at the end when he went in to get his intermediates on, but, that gamble payed off in the LAST lap of the race when Glock couldn't cope with the wet conditions.
