Lewis Hamilton - five-time world champion. That this was his destiny seemed pre-ordained from the moment a brilliant 13-year-old was signed by McLaren in 1998. But now he has become, along with Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio, the only driver to reach that mark, we shouldn't let a misplaced sense of inevitability overshadow what a remarkable driver Hamilton has become.
