I remember watching Lewis Hamilton's first F1 GP on TV which was the Australian GP in 2007.
Lewis qualified 4th on the grid, in between Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica, two places behind his team mate Fernando Alonso.
When the red lights went off, Lewis looked to have made a sluggish start, with Kubica going past him, dropping Lewis to 5th, but a brilliant move around the outside of the 1st corner saw Lewis come out 3rd, ahead of Kubica and Alonso, a great start to his 1st race.
Kimi Raikkonen won for Ferrari with Alonso 2nd, but Lewis confirmed the faith McLaren had placed in him by securing 3rd place on the podium in his 1st F1 race!
