Every Formula One driver has had to start their racing career somewhere, and Lewis Hamilton is no exception. In the early stages of their careers, all drivers participated in karting championships for a few years before their rise up the pecking order. Only the best 20 drivers actually reach the zenith of motorsport, Formula One.
Speaking of Lewis Hamilton, a video emerged of his early karting days, when many witnessed his talent. At the 1996 Highland Spring Formula Cadet class race, he was battling in the top 10 and slowly edging his way up the order. As the laps ticked by, he made his way to 4th, as the three race leaders duelled among themselves.
Then, on the final lap, Chris Rogers, Benjamin Moss and Andrew Twist went three-wide for a move into the lead. However, Lewis Hamilton made it 4-wide and somehow managed to snatch the lead with a brilliant move around the outside.

The 11-year old judged his move to perfection, especially when some of the drivers ahead, collided. The collision slowed them down and Hamilton was not about to decline an open invitation.
