Lewis Hamilton Wins Formula 1 Championship

Lewis Hamilton survived an extremely tense end to the Formula 1 Championship, despite finishing 5th and Felipe Massa wining the Brazilian Grand Prix.

A late-race rain shower looked set to rob Lewis Hamilton of the title after a stop for wet tyres dropped him to sixth. However, the 23-year-old McLaren driver passed Toyota's Timo Glock as they entered the pit straight.

Briton Hamilton becomes the youngest ever Formula 1 World Champion.

Ferrari have won the Constructors Championship.

Bookies William Hill had said they were "staring down the barrel of a multi-million pound payout" prior to the race. The bookies have estimated that the industry will be paying out up to five million pounds, with one William Hill from Kent collecting £10,000 from just a £100 bet place on Hamilton in 2003.

"Hamilton had been backed by half of the UK and we've had a hammering." said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
