Vivian Senna - sister of the Brazilian, who was flown in especially for the London ceremony and was glowing in her praise for the 22-year-old, comparing the rookie to her brother both as a driver and a person. Senna said: "He reminds me of Ayrton as a pilot and also as a good man - we can see this in his eyes and his face." An emotional Hamilton added: "I have never been chocked so much in my life, It meant the world to me and she said some lovely things. I had vowed to never cry on TV and in front of a big audience but it was one of those moments." Hamilton landed the British competition driver of the year, best international racing driver and rookie of the year awards and yesterday added the prestigious gold star from the British Drivers' Club after four victories and a total of 12 podium finishes in his debut season. He is also favourite to win BBC Sports personality of the year. December 4th, 2007 |
