Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is the 2008 FIA Formula 1 World Champion.
In one of the most dramatic finishes to a World Championship ever, Lewis took the title by a single point after securing fifth position on the final corner of the final lap of the final race of the 2008 season. Lewis finished the year with 98 points, one point ahead of Ferrari?s Felipe Massa.
At the age of just 23 years, 10 months and 26 days, Lewis is the youngest champion in Formula 1 history. He takes McLaren's 12th drivers' world title, and the third for the McLaren Mercedes partnership, which won the drivers' title in 1998 and 1999 with Mika Hakkinen.
