Lewis Hamilton

2008 Formula One World Champion

Former Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton put on a sideways and smoky driving display on Sunday aboard a 2008 McLaren-Mercedes MP4-23 – the same model that gave Stevenage’s finest export the driver’s title in only his second season of Grand Prix racing. “It’s great fun and I’m glad to be here,” he said. “You have to be quite careful as the course is a bit narrow but I wanted to put on a show for the fans. I hope they enjoyed it.” Judging by the rapturous applause, they did… Even more so after he jumped into the historic ex-John Watson McLaren MP4 from 1981 for another blast up the hill.
