Driving with a plaster cast on his left wrist after falling off his bicycle, a young Lewis Hamilton won both Formula A finals in the French round of the 2000 Karting European Championship.

The close battle between teammates Hamilton and Nico Rosberg was a sign of things to come. Both would go on to fight for Formula 1 drivers' championships driving for Mercedes from 2014 through 2016. Lewis took the first two titles, while Rosberg captured his lone championship in 2016 before retiring from the sport.
