In his debut Grand Prix, Lewis cheekily passed his illustrious teammate going round the outside of Turn 1, a move that basically demonstrated not only the youngster's supreme confidence but also the fact that he would not be intimidated. A subsequent challenge regarding a stewards' investigation into the fuel used by Williams and BMW offered Hamilton and his team faint hope that the title might still be his, but the youngster, appreciating that the best man had won the championship, admitted that he didn't want to win the title by default. www.pitpass.com /src/drivers/hamilton.php   (1598 words)
