Lewis Hamilton of McLaren-Mercedes on Sunday became the youngest-ever Formula One (F1) world champion at the age of 23, pipping Ferrari's Felipe Massa to the title thanks to a fifth-place finish in a thrilling Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. The Briton went into the final F1 race of the season with a seven-point lead over eventual race-winner Massa, and only needed to finish in the top five in Sao Paulo to take the title.
