In 2007, Lewis entered the Fl world. His talent(天賦) for racing and his performances soon amazed everyone. He did a great job in his first fifteen races. But the last two races were nightmares(惡夢). He lost them, and lost the world champion title in the end by just one point.

2008 was a hard year for Lewis. Many Fl fans criticized(責難) him, and most F1 racers didn't talk to him any more. He was lonely. But his wish to win kept him strong.
