F1 Brilliance...Lewis-style By Peter Windsor
And so he did it. Lewis Hamilton in Turkey clinched his seventh FIA World Drivers' Championship, equalling the record set by Michael Schumacher.
It wasn't easy, though. Lewis started only sixth - on the dirty side of a slippery grid. He left the road a couple of times; he couldn't for a while find a way past the Ferrari of his old nemesis, Sebastian Vettel.
