British driver Lewis Hamilton has once again stunned fans of the motor sport world by taking his second victory in a week at the United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis yesterday.
The race marks his second straight win, having come first place in his maiden Grand Prix in Canada just seven days previously, and marked his seventh appearance on the podium in his short seven-race Formula One career.
"What a dream," the 21-year-old told Britain’s BBC Sport, "To come to two circuits that I didn't know and to really come out with such pace and to see the team moving forward is great.”
"The last 15 laps seemed a lifetime, but I was in the lead, I was able to do it and I'm very emotional now." After taking a second straight pole, Hamilton was able to complete a grid-to-flag victory, coolly dealing with McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso's two attempts to pass him.
Alonso said he had lost the race from the very beginning, "I think the start was the key point of the race, after that who was second would be second in the race."
