Ten years ago, Lewis Hamilton was only 13 years old and was already under the wing of
McLaren chief Ron Dennis. A young Lewis visited the
McLaren headquarters in Woking, England, and fixed his eyes on a bright orange
McLaren F1 LM supercar sitting on display at the factory. Good taste, Lewis: only five roadgoing LMs were made, and each one is said to be worth about
$4 million. Produced in 1995 to commemorate McLaren's win at
Le Mans, it was the fastest supercar of its day, and with a 0-60 time of under three seconds, it remains one of the fastest to this day.
Ron Dennis has now promised Hamilton that if he wins the world championship this year – and locks up the constructors' title together with teammate Heikki Kovalainen – the car will be his. Not a bad bonus.
