Lewis Hamilton knew one little slip up on the race track and he'd lose his chance to win the F1 world championship — and not only that, but he'd embarrass himself in front of royal family member Prince Harry. But Prince William wasn't there, quite possibly looking after his wife Kate Middleton instead. Hamilton knew his teammate Nico Rosberg could beat him in the individual world championship, meaning he had to better him, and he did just that.

Hamilton insisted, according to the BBC: "This is the greatest day of my life. 2008 was a great year in my life. The feeling I have now is way, way past that. The greatest feeling ever." Harry then added, "Lewis, well done for not making the British public sweat. You are an absolute legend." Read More »

One world that has often been used to describe F1 driver Michael Schumacher is "legend", and to this day he's adding to that reputation.

While Daft Punk's new album Random Access Memories has been in stores for a week now (and it's masterful, pre-launch buzz-building campaign has been viewed, dissected and praised), it appears the robots have a few more promotional tricks up their sleeves.
