I caught the tail-end of the Formula 1 this morning. That English wonder-kid who everyone is going on about, Lewis Hamilton, won the race. Apparently, if he does anything but crash his car into a duck pond in the final race of the season, he will become world champion. However, Lewis is English, and ‘English’ and ‘World Champion’ don’t exactly go together. You just know it’s going to go wrong…
Hamilton came very close to winning the championship last year, but in typical English fashion, did the F1 equivalent of David Beckham missing a penalty and lost at the final hurdle. I bet the basement of his house is full of bottles of champagne (and ice buckets), never opened. Still, if he never wins anything, at least he’ll have some vintage bubbly he can sell on eBay.

It must be difficult for young Lewis. Not only is he travelling the world driving fast cars, but he has to turn out every week for Arsenal and even play for the England national football team. Sure, he goes under his alias ‘Theo Walcott’, but have you ever seen them in the same room together?
Still, good luck for the final race, Hammo. You may be the underdog (by default – being English), but we all believe in you… ahem.
Good luck, Theo!
