Lewis Hamilton won the 2008 Formula One Drivers championship in the last round of the 2008 season in Interlagos, Brazil beating Ferrari's Felipe Massa by one point. The year 2009 has not started so well for the McLaren Mercedes team. After 3 rounds they are yet to taste victory and have been only a midfield team unable to gain victories. With supreme performance displayed by teams like Brawn GP, Red Bull Renault etc the hopes of Lewis winning the title this year is very slim.
The McLaren Team had Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button for their 2011 Racing calendar. Both Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button were former drivers world champions and hence in the year 2011, McLaren claimed that they had no clear no.1 driver. If we take the performance of the driver during the year, then Button must have been no.1 because he finished 2nd overall in the 2011 drivers championships while Hamilton was able to manage only 5th overall.
He earns 15m per year!!
