It’s that time of year again – the Sao Paulo Grand Prix is this weekend, which means we’re already thinking of the (second) most dramatic end to a Formula 1 World Championship in recent years.
We are of course talking about Lewis Hamilton’s first title in 2008, where the Brit passed a floundering Timo Glock on the final corner to snatch overall victory from the hands of Felipe Massa. Cue absolute heartbreak in the Ferrari garage. The fact that Hamilton is so revered in Brazil despite that fateful day really does prove the measure of the man.
