A win by @LewisHamilton is all it needs to put me in a better frame of mind. He overtook his closest championship rivals in the closing stages of the race leaving them choking on his exhaust fumes.
But I mustn't get too excited because both Red Bull and Ferrari had elected to pursue one stop strategies which turned out to be a mistake so the performance of Vettel's and Alonso's cars had fallen off dramatically in the last ten laps or so.
It was interesting to see Hamilton's inamorata banging a table in frustration when one of his pit stops took longer than desireable. I can't see that as the reaction of someone whose relationship is in trouble so I may have to eat my words (again).
I must say that Nicole was looking extra lovely.
The other fascinating aspect will be the effect of this win on Lewis' contract decision. Will he jump ship or not and does McLaren really want him to stay? It looks like Ferrari will go with Perez after his 2nd place today.
