Even though Toseland might deserve to win the award, there is not doubt that Hamilton will take it. The amount of publicity his F1 debut has generated is incredible :eek:

Hehe :lol:, well surprisingly Hamilton did not get it in the end. British boxer Joe Calzaghe picked it up with a clear majority of 29% of the vote :eek:.

Calzaghe has been world champion in the super middleweight boxing category for the past ten years.
