Lewis made a special appearance at the 2008 Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend.
The festival not only provided a fantastic opportunity for Lewis to get close to the fans, he spent a lot of time signing autographs, but he also got a chance to drive the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 car on the challenging 1.16-mile Goodwood hillclimb.
Speaking to host Chris Evans, the UK radio DJ, during his appearance on the Goodwood House balcony Lewis talked about his love of the festival.
'Goodwood is an event I love because it lets you get closer to the fans. I always get a real boost from their enthusiasm and positivity. It's also a place where you can meet other racing drivers in a really relaxed atmosphere."
