With only one Grand Prix to go, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton is just one step away from winning the world's most prestigious racing title. After an impressive rookie season last year, the young Briton has grown up. Hamilton remains calm and confident in 2008.

Lewis Hamilton said, "could've been better, we try hard to win the title."

From Karting to Formula 3 then to Formula 1, Hamilton's career has been very successful for a 23-year-old driver. Without a shining family background, Hamilton's fairy tale has been made possible thanks to his hardworking father, who does whatever he can to support his son.

Lewis is lucky to have a very good father, but he is more lucky to drive for one of the top teams in Formula 1. Hamilton's dream career was guided and made more phenomenal thanks to the McLaren team and its long and successful history in Formula 1. The McLaren talent pool program has helped many drivers achieve racing success.

As his fairy tale continues, Hamilton has his eyes set on his future.
