An exceptional record of achievement

24 October 2007

Press Release

After a season in which Lewis Hamilton has scored more points, secured more pole positions, and celebrated more podium finishes than any other driver in their first season in the sport - only just missing out on clinching the title by a point at the final race in Brazil - there is no doubt that we have witnessed a champion in the making this year.

The teamwork which underpins a winning outcome, the constant pursuit of excellence, and an unerring focus on detail are all elements of a world beating package in either a sporting or business context - and over the course of the season we have celebrated Lewis's determination to become the best in the business and drawn on these analogies with our James Hay SIPP advertising campaign.

As part of the Santander Group, corporate partner of the McLaren Mercedes F1 Team, and proud sponsors of the Silverstone British Grand Prix, James Hay commends his exceptional achievement this year and wishes him every success for next season!
