Lewis Hamilton becomes F1 World Champion!

[eldrick]

History made !

Not only is he 1st black world champ, he is youngest world champ at 23y ( he ridiculously lost title last year as a rookie when he basically only needed to finish in top 5 in either of last 2 races, but spun out )

He can go on to win 10 world titles

It's cars, people using a machine to go fast.

And it's way more popular than people using legs to go fast!

Looking at history, and considering the many factors involved, I would
be surprised to see him make five. Notably, only four (? from memory)
drivers have managed to take even three titles.

Unbelievable finish to the race and the season. Hamilton didn't have the necessary points to win the Championship until he passed Timo Glock just before the final corner.
