Lewis Hamilton: the drive to win
Subject

Description
It takes a precocious ten-year-old to walk up to one of motor racing’s leading figures and say that he wants to drive for his Formula One team when he grows up. But there is something to be said for having big dreams, because now, at 22, Lewis Hamilton is a prodigiously talented driver who is enjoying his first year in F1. And he’s driving for McLaren, the British team owned by his mentor and the man he approached at ten, Ron Dennis.
