I am very disappointed that I couldn’t find, on YouTube, a video of highlights from the weekend’s British Formula 1 Grand Prix, set to either ‘Round Round’ by the Sugababes, or even better, ‘You Spin Me Round’ by Dead Or Alive. The original version, that is, not one of the many remixes. The Internet has let me down.

It was a good race though, wasn’t it? Admittedly I did want to punch Felipe Massa in the face for spinning repeatedly - doesn’t he know I’ve got money on him winning the championship? Probably not, to be fair. He doesn’t even know why he kept messing up.

Surely the best news - better even than a British winner in the shape of that there Lewis Hamilton - was Rubens Barrichello’s third place finish. I had a feeling that a Honda might end up doing well, because Ross Brawn does have a habit of getting things very right in such conditions. In truth I hoped Jenson Button might spring a surprise win on us again, but Barrichello on the podium is pretty excellent.

His Honda contract expires at the end of the year, but he wants to carry on. I see three possibilities: he stays at Honda, does a Fisichella and moves to a small team, or leaves Formula 1. Let’s hope he sticks around. He seems nice.
