2008 / HAMILTON
A scrolling recap of 2008 in six acts. The champion, the constructor, the bump chart, and the race-by-race podiums.
The points reel out, race after race.
Every line is a driver's running championship total. The heaviest three at the top are the ones who mattered. Lewis Hamilton closed the year on 98 points, a 1-point gap over P2.
Two-car teams, one trophy.
The constructors' championship is a different game — both cars score. A team can win it with consistent doubles even when neither driver leads the standings. Ferrari ended on 172 points.
