While I’m a long way from a rabid Formula 1fan, I’ve been a long-time viewer and can well remember Nigel Mansell’s tyre exploding in  a shower of sparks depriving him of a world title many years ago.

So it was nice to see Britain produce a new Formula 1 World Champion today, at only 23 Lewis Hamilton, racing for McLaren, became the youngest ever, and the first Briton since 1996 to take the title.

You can enjoy the final two laps in the video below, or if you just enjoy a touch of schadenfreude then fast forward to around 2:15 where you’ll see the moment where, in the midst of leaping around celebrating, Ferrari realise that they didn’t actually win the title after all. Happy days.
