Even today Lewis was fastest. His own mistake cost him 7seconds and the gap at the end was about 6 tenths. I just hope there aren't any mechanical issues in Abu Dhabi. If his car finishes the race Hamilton will be the World Champion for the second time, and Rosberg's best chance will be past him. And that would be the right result for the driver who has won the most races and would already be Champion if it weren't for mechanical failures and his teammate's cheating.

Pleased with Massa's podium today - I wasn't sure he still had that in him, but a bit gutted about Bottas in the other car. Still, 3rd is well on and would be a great result for a proper team.

Whatever happens in two weeks time this has been an incredible season - best for a long time. Interesting new formula, a break in the Red Bull dominance, excellent racing throughout the grid, the reemergence of Williams as a competitive force, the breakdown of the relationship between the Championship contenders, the cheating in Monaco, the pressure telling in Spa, the high of Marussia's first points thanks to Bianchi's opportunism in Monaco (has there been a better result ever), the low of his crash and the subsequent folding of Marussia, the bizarre goings on at Caterham, every race bar perhaps Sochi and maybe Austria being good, Bahrain and Canada in particular being amongst the best races of all time, and, best of all, a driver's championship that's going to the last race of the season in spite, not because, of double points.

All that and I took my boy to Silverstone for his first time.

Crisis? What crisis?
