Lewis is Hot on the Track and Hot Off it

Formula One’ sexy racing sensation, rookie Lewis Hamilton pulled off his second straight victory in Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix adding another accomplishment to his already impressive career.

He is the first black driver in the history of Formula One racing to finish in the top three of all seven races, and at 22 years his Hamilton is proving to be a force in the competition.

Hamilton was born in the United Kingdom in 1985 and was named after legendary Olympian Carl Lewis. Lewis need for speed seemed to rub off on the youngster who began go kart racing at the age of eight and worked his way up through the racing world.

In 1998 he became the youngest driver ever to secure a F1 contract when he signed with Mercedes Mclaren.

On his debut outing this year, he finished in the top three of the race and became only the thirteenth driver in history to do so on their debut run. Hamilton was also the first and only black driver in the 61 year history of F1 to take to the track.
