Teams McLaren 2007 - Present
Lewis Hamilton has been sponsored by Ron Dennis since he was a youngster in karts and was given his break into F1 for the 2007 season. With seven finishes on the podium in his first seven races, and finishing his first season as runner up he is a young man making a big impact in the sport. In 2008 Hamilton became the youngest F1 World Champion with an overtaking manoeuvre on the last lap to give him the championship by 1 point. The 2009 season got off to a poor start and his first win was in Round 10 in Hungary. Improvements to the car gave him a better second half to the 2009 season. The 2010 season was much more compettative, with Lewis Hamilton winning three races and still in with a chance of the drivers title going into the last rae of the season.
