I managed to catch the last 14 laps of today’s Grand Prix from Spa, just in time to watch the monumental battle between the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari. Mixed wet & dry surfaces, run off roads, errant spinners and big brass balls all came together to produce one of the best finishes F1 has produced in years. At the end, it was Hamilton who kept it on the island and earned a very much deserved place atop the podium.

Oh yes, I yelled so much I woke up the teenager! Oh well, she should have been awake anyway!
