There is no 'I' in team!

Sorry about the cliche, but Lewis Hamilton has shown us quite clearly that to win a F1 Racing Championship you have to work as a team.

In interviews post his nail biting victory her 'we, we, we'ed' all the way home! What I know about F1 racing is certainly not going to win me any medals in that sport, but what I do know about is sport and what it takes to win, and the 'we' mentality is certainly one of the major factors. Successful sports men and women around the world do not just owe their success to their own hard work, dedication, sacrifice, talent and persistence, but they also owe and attribute their success to those who have supported them, guided them, chastised them, encouraged them, comforted them, praised them, advised them, and listened to them, on a daily basis throughout their sporting careers.

In Africa they say it takes a village to raise a child. Well I say it takes close knit support team who value the individual to make a successful sports person.


Well done Lewis - you and your team did just great, no man is an island. (couldn't resist!)
