Lewis Hamilton has set the sporting world on fire with the greatest debut Grand Prix season in history.

McLaren broke a long-held policy not to employ novice drivers with Hamilton and now it is clear to see why.

Expected to spend the season learning from team-mate Fernando Alonso, the 22-year-old has been a revelation.

Astonishingly, he could win the title in his first season, and it already seems inevitable that he will grow into one of the all-time greats.
