He finally did it, Lewis Hamilton won his first race today for the 2009 season of F1 Racing :D . It has been a long time coming but he definitely deserves it now after having such a slow and terrible start to the season.

As per usual I have only just finished watching the race, I record the races when they are on live and then watch them later. It is very difficult trying to avoid finding out who the winner is of the race for that day. I usually try to stay away from sites such as twitter on race days as I follow a lot of the formula one racers.

The new aero pack that was added to Lewis' car last week has been slightly modified this week, and it has proven to be a great success so far. Hopefully this will be the start to many more successful races for the rest of the season :D .

I have always thought Lewis was the best driver and today he has pulled through again :D . Now there is going to be a four week break until the next race :( The racing teams will all take a week or two off now to rest and no work will be done.

Then once they start back they will be preparing for their next race, and trying to get that bit of extra juice out of their cars for when the qualifying starts.

There was definitely lots of action today in the race, with wheels flying off and drivers dropping out due to mechanical problems. Also there was great head to head action for the position of 1st, second and third.

Here are today’s race results: 1st place: Lewis Hamilton , 2nd place: Kimi Raikkonen and 3rd place: Mark Webber.

The last race of the Formula 1 grand prix 2008 was a nail biting one. Hamilton had to come in 5th place or higher in order to become the world champion.

Just before the race was schelduled to start it suddenly started to rain, it was completely unpredictiable, the beginning of the race was put back for 10 minutes in order to allow the teams to make any necessary changes to there cars to make them cope with the wet conditions.

It was an extremly tense few laps at the start because they potentially make the result of the entire race.

Hamilton started forth on the grid.

A few laps before the end of the race the rain was starting to pick back up, it made a very difficult decison on all the drivers weather ot not they should pit for intermediate tyres.

Hamilton decided to pit and then when he rejoind the race he was in fifth just after Timo Glock who decided to stay out on dry tyres. Then as a complete shock to everyone on the last lap Sebastian Vettel overtook Hamilton putting Hamilton into 6th which would have lost him the world champion status.

Ferrai began to celebrate there victory since Hamilton had been knocked out of the win, this would of made Felipe Massa the World Champion.

However Ferrai's celebration was shortlived as moments later Timo Glock's pace began to decrease due to the increasing rainfall, this gave Hamilton the gap he needed to get back into 5th and grab the world championship status.

Although hamilton did not come first in this last race of the season it gave him the points he needed to become the overall winner. The race winner was Felipe Massa

In conculsion it was a brilliant nail biting race with a desevring overall winner, Lewis Hamilton. He is now the youngest World Champion F1 Driver.
