Lewis wins Autosport award

Sunday, 07 December 2008

Lewis has been named International Racing Driver of the Year at the Autosport Awards in London.

Lewis said he was proud of the journey he's made in his career to win the Award for the second time, and this time as Formula 1 world champion.

Having won a hat-trick of awards last season he returned to this years event as the youngest ever Formula 1 world champion after beating Ferrari's Felipe Massa by just a point at the end of a fascinating season of racing.


He was presented with the award by another McLaren legend, 1998 and 1999 world champion Mika Hakkinen.

Speaking about the award he said "It's kind of overwhelming. To receive an award, any award, is always a major privilege, and holding this one, it reminds me of all the times I've been to the Autosport Awards before, even my first time. To see what a journey it's been and see the number of people that have made it possible for me, makes me very proud."
