Lewis Hamilton came with his pet bulldog and went home with the top prize � BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The Mercedes racing driver was a surprise winner of the coveted award in a glittering ceremony in Glasgow, capping a year that saw him secure the Formula One world championship for a second time. He flew in from Los Angeles and flew pretty much straight back after adding his name to four previous winners from his sport � Sir Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell (twice) and Damon Hill (twice).
