Lewis Hamilton is here to stay - Anthony Hamilton
Although his son Lewis wasn't able to win the 2007 Championship title, Anthony Hamilton, was smiling after the Brazilian Grand Prix. After an amazing year for the rookie driver, his father believes that Lewis has had a sensational debut season.
After the race Anthony Hamilton said to ITV: "None of us are in pain, trust me. We feel great. We've just had one of the most fantastic Formula One seasons ever. If somebody told a year ago we'd be fighting for the world championship at this stage, I'd have replied they are dreaming.
"But it's been a fantastic year. We lost it by one point - we'll come back next year, and if we don't win it next year, we'll win it the year after. But one thing's for sure: Lewis Hamilton is here to stay.
"We're going to come back next year; the team is going to come back strong. Hopefully all the rubbish that's gone through in Formula One this year will not be there next year, and I think we're going to be a force to be reckoned with again.
Hamilton Sr. also took the opportunity to thank the supporters of Lewis for an amazing season: "I want to thank everybody who's been supporting us this year. Apologies, and I hope everybody is having a good time and a drink. Be happy, because it is a happy day."
