Lewis Hamilton reveals the Fernando Alonso fuel battle behind first F1 victory

Lewis Hamilton has revealed that a fuel load disparity between himself and teammate Fernando Alonso played a key role in his first Formula 1 victory at the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix. Hamilton explained that Alonso, the reigning two-time world champion, was 'naturally' given a lighter fuel load, but Hamilton pushed McLaren to give him equal fuel ahead of the Canadian race. McLaren agreed, and Hamilton went on to claim his maiden F1 win.
