2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton has been nominated for the World Sportsman of the Year award at this year's Laureus World Sports Awards, having clinched his record-breaking debut crown in dramatic fashion at the end of 2008, becoming the sport's youngest champion. Hamilton will face tough competition from olympic gold medalists Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps for the crown, with tennis star Rafael Nadal, soccer's Cristiano Ronaldo and MotoGP's Valentino Rossi also in the running.

The sport's youngest Grand Prix winner Sebastian Vettel has also received a nomination, and will be in with a shout of landing World Breakthrough of the Year after his historic win in Monza last year.

2009 marks the 10th year of the Laureus awards, with names such as Michael Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, Renault and Lewis Hamilton having been honoured in the past.

Sir Jackie Stewart believes that if anyone needs to be called before the World Motor Sport Council for their Aussie GP incidents it's Seb Vettel and not McLaren.

"In my opinion, what Vettel did in Melbourne was potentially more serious than what McLaren have been accused of, because that wheel could have flown into the crowd and killed somebody. Yet he was only penalised 10 places on the grid at the next race, which is no more than a strong slap on the wrist."

“Not so much to tell. I was on the intermediate tyres and they were pretty gone as it wasn’t very wet before the sudden pour down. I was approaching Turn seven and there was suddenly lots of water, but I was being very cautious. I lost the car due to aquaplaning and there was nothing I could do. There was too much water and my tyres were not made for those conditions. A spin wouldn’t have been much of a problem, but the anti-stall didn’t work. Without that, I would just have spun, lost some time and that would have been it. In the past drivers had three pedals, a throttle, a brake and a clutch and when you were spinning you knew exactly what to do. It’s not in our hands anymore, so it’s a shame that we have to retire for this stupid reason.”
