2008 F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton at Age 11

Lewis Hamilton was signed to a Formula 1 development contract at age 12. Legend has it that at age 10, he approached McLaren team principle, Ron Dennis at an awards ceremony and said, "I will drive for you one day." Above is some footage of him at age 11. Also, embedding has been disabled on another video, but I highly recommend checking out a clip from the documentary, Black Britain, which originally appeared on BBC 3 in 1996. The level of focus this kid had as an adolescent is incredible.
