Big congratulations to Lewis Hamilton on winning his first Grand Prix in a tough race in Canada that saw a number of retirements and a fairly spectacular crash involving Robert Kubica in which he sustained a broken leg. Very neat job, we should see a lot more of this guy.

And that, as they say, is that. I’m off to Center Parcs Sherwood next week, which should be interesting.
