Hamilton sweeps to F1 victory

Sunday November 02 2008

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has become the youngest ever Formula 1 World champion.

Felipe Massa won his home Grand Prix at Interlagos and looked like taking the championship in spectacular fashion - as he crossed the finish line with Hamilton having dropped to sixth in the rain.

Hamilton only needed a fifth-place finish tho and was let in on the final lap by a mistake by Timo Glock who stayed out on dry-weather tires.
