One day, when he was ten years old, Lewis met a man called Ron Dennis. Dennis was the manager of McLaren Formula 1 _______ . Lewis asked Dennis for his autograph(亲笔签名), saying, “My name’s Lewis and one day I want to _______ your cars.” Ron Dennis wrote in his autograph book, “Phone me nine years from now, we’ll talk about it again.” In fact, when Lewis won his first go-kart championship (冠军) a few years later, Ron Dennis _______ him, and in 1999 Lewis joined McLaren’s “Young Drivers” programme.
