Lewis Hamilton was awarded his trophy as Formula One's youngest champion at the International Automobile Federation gala awards dinner, and admitted he had fulfilled a childhood dream.
"This year has been a very special one in my life, the fulfilment of a dream I've had since childhood and an ambition that has taken my family and me on an amazing journey," said the 23-year-old Briton (pictured with his family).
"The fact that I won the drivers' world championship on the very last lap of the very last race is something that makes me so proud of our efforts in 2008," added the sport's first black champion.
"We pushed to the limit on every lap, from Melbourne to Brazil, and it's that determination and spirit that ultimately won us the world title."
Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa, beaten by a single point after winning his home race last month, celebrated his team's constructors' crown and saw his own achievements in a positive light.
"We are already looking to a new season and I will do my utmost to come back here to Monaco next year to claim the prize which today has gone to Lewis," he said.
Singapore, host of Formula One's first night grand prix this year, was awarded the race promoters' trophy.

And touronroute you have to live with your stupidity for the rest of your life. I think Lewis has the easier task.
Was this the quoted that I quoted? well Touronroute if you were not so absolutely stupid then you would know that you really can only quote quotes.
MAJOR, is that a photo of your missus , if it is is does stand to make sense.
i never said de la rosa said anything , i quoted. as per driver, dont read the media, i quoted de la rosa, and he will be in the force india car for the first race, you wouldn't know of the bust up at silverstone airdrome. last week, but that is my knowledge voodoopenguin.
Who are real cheats in F1 and have been for years and years? Some clues
1) Their cars are red
2) Their name is ferrari
Now even the brainless ferrari fans might work that one out.
Now the openly flamboyant Alonso will drive a red car and all the gay male Alonso supporters will become tifosi.
Touronroute, congratulations you have won the "dumbest ferrari supporter of the year award" and that is saying something.

touronroute said: "i think if the quote is right. the family is getting about £10,000 per pound per week in services, mmmmmmmmmm you think, as per driver, dont read the media, i quoted de la rosa,"
So you are saying that Pedro de la Rosa has been quoted as saying that Hamilton family are getting £10,000 in services each week. What services would this be and from who? Do you honestly believe that? That is half a million pounds a year, for what?
Voodoopenguin. i think if the quote is right. the family is getting about £10,000 per pound per week in services, mmmmmmmmmm you think, as per driver, dont read the media, i quoted de la rosa, and he will be in the force india car for the first race, you wouldn't know of the bust up at silverstone airdrome. last week, but that is my knowledge voodoopenguin.
iigor_k says "worlds highest paid sports star has benefitted from numerous FREE regular NHS blood tests + heart checks"
Who is the world's highest paid sports star and why are they getting regular NHS blood tests and why is it relevant here? I think it is still Tiger Woods so does he come over here for his blood tests? I find that a bit strange. Of course you could have meant highest paid UK sports star but that is still Beckham who is still earning almost twice what Lewis is getting. i think we need more information from you iigor_k.

While the questions are being asked touronroute, who will be driving for Force India next year? Remind us what you said.
Maybe you touronroute could answer the questions asked of you, "Touronroute, explain what the NHS is doing for Lewis Hamilton right now?" or "What tab (your word) is being picked up by others at the moment?".
Touronroute shouted "VOODOOPENGUIN, WHERE WAS HE CONTRACTED OUT FOR, ANSWER PLEASE,I KNOW THE ANSWER."
I will freely admit that my information came fro a newspaper article, I think it might have been The Times, but that seemed to verify what the various other media reports had said which was that Lewis wanted to compete but had been told he couldn't due to contractual considerations. I do understand that the media can get it wrong so I await your version of the story but of course can only trust it if you give verifiable proof and not your usual vagueness.
VOODOOPENGUIN, WHERE WAS HE CONTRACTED OUT FOR, ANSWER PLEASE,I KNOW THE ANSWER.

BARRY WW if you rearly cant work out what mucky laren did let me explane reguardless of where it may have come from nobody at mucky laran shouls have accepted it, looked at it, OR used it.
BUT THEY DID SO THAT MAKES THEM CHEATS
Now maybe that will help you to understand although I doubt it.
So to quote the thing that Mario from Peru (or wherever)has said so often MCLAREN HANG
An illiterate couldn't have put it better!
Oh yes. And let's quote the oracle Marnio!
Touronroute - you said " i would call a great BRITIAN, a person who would take on the world at wembley,not making excuses and promoting wealth by filling in a few million forms."
Next, you appear to think that a 'great BRITIAN' is someone who would wilfully break a legal contract in order to satisfy your wishes. He was contracted to appear elsewhere, he wanted to do the ROC but was not allowed to due to legal reasons but did as much as he was able to do.
What do you care anyway, you actively seek out articles about him just to spew out your abuse. You certainly wouldn't have wanted him to be competing against Michael with the possibility of beating him would you?
Voodoopenguin, happy xmas from a true brit.and if certain families dress up as FATHER CHRISTMAS, are they going to be racist, i hope they aint mocking the great man from another country, but you are a true brit, mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Touronroute - you said " i would call a great BRITIAN, a person who would take on the world at wembley,not making excuses and promoting wealth by filling in a few million forms."
If you wish to talk about this subject I think that for the benefit of those who do not have English as their first language we should clear up some points. There is no such word as 'Britian', you probably are trying to spell 'Britain' which in this context is wrong anyway. The word is 'Briton' meaning someone who comes from Great Britain. We can all make typos and I do not worry about them but you really should try to spell the name of your own country correctly.
Voodoopenguin, i would call a great BRITIAN, a person who would take on the world at wembley,not making excuses and promoting wealth by filling in a few million forms.
VOODOOPENGUIN,i would class richard branson, paul macnartny.elton john, the list could go on and on, who have allways looked after their own, without the goverment support in many social ???????? issues, facts dont lie, putting something in, and taking twice as much out, i wouldn't call that a great britian, i would call that guilt, and voodoopenguin i'm not putting anybody down, i'm just stating a fact. if twenty mentally handicapped people were taking out for day, and someone hadn't got time to give them an autograph, i wouldn't call them a true brit would you, see i can print the facts and the truth.
