Lewis Hamilton vows to win the 2008 F1 World Title

After almost winning the world championship last year, Lewis Hamilton had somewhat of a slow start to the 2008 F1 season. After winning the first race of the season in Australia, it took him five races before getting his second win of the year, his first one in Monaco.

And now that Lewis Hamilton found himself in a three-way tie for the championship after winning his home grand prix in Britain a week ago, I guess you can now say that he's back in the championship chase.

You can bet your ass Hamilton knows it too. The McLaren - Mercedes driver is now vowing to take the world title home to Germany in only his second year in Formula 1.

''I'm not going to build up your hopes but just to let you know that I'm working as hard as I can to bring the Championship home for all of us, keep your fingers crossed,'' Hamilton said.

''I've been racing since I was eight years old and every Sunday before the race I always have the same nerves and I can never control it.''

''I always try to come up with a formula or a way to deal with all the nerves and the race to make sure I win and it's always difficult. There is always something different happening; it could be raining or dry, you are always starting from a different position and there is always a different crowd and a different vibe.''

''So it's all about trying to take it all in and do the best job I can.''

Hamilton leads the standings for the drivers championship with Ferrari drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa. All three has 48 championship points after nine races into the season.

The second half of the F1 season officially begins in Germany with the 2008 F1 German Grand Prix. Can Lewis Hamilton live up to the hype he created?

You can bet your ass defending world champion Kimi Raikkonen will have other plans.
