I am not a huge motor sport follower but I have watched enough to know young Lewis Hamilton might just turn out to be the greatest racing driver of all-time.  In his first season in Formula one he has started with 7 straight podium finishes, no rookie had ever managed three. His start of a 3rd, four 2nds and now two wins shows the same steady progress he has made since he was 15 years old:
2000 ~~~ European Formula A Championship ~~~ 1st
2000 ~~~ Formula A World Cup ~~~ 1st
2002 ~~~ Formula Renault UK ~~~ 3rd
2003 ~~~ Formula Renault UK ~~~ 1st
2004 ~~~ Formula 3 Euroseries ~~~ 5th
2005 ~~~ Formula 3 Euroseries ~~~ 1st
2006 ~~~ GP2 Series ~~~ 1st
2007 ~~~ Formula One ~~~ 1st *
