There is something magic about Lewis Hamilton. Is it the yellow helmet? I don't know, and there's no need to look for a cheap shortcut explanation. But Lewis has this amazing ability to go beyond what is deemed as possible, the ability to deliver the impossible. Magic, right? That's because he's a warrior, a true racer, and a driver who can make a car go faster than it should. Indeed a very rare breed, and something wonderful in fact, in a Formula 1 world where technology has become God, instead of the driver. Otherwise, interesting to see that Sebastian Vettel showed a bit of the Dani Pedrosa syndrom at the Nürburgring: unbeatable when he's in the lead, Seb seemed somewhat forbearing when having to actually fight and overtake...

Despite his outstanding talent, it is doubtful that Fernando Alonso would have won the British Grand Prix had it not been for the indirect help from the governing body and the strange decision to change the rules in mid-season, and of course Red Bull shooting themselves in the foot with chaotic pitstops. Under these most unfavorable circumstances, the Red Bull brigade still managed to finish 2nd and 3rd, and the future looks as bright as ever for Sebastain Vettel's title chase. The battle between Webber and Wonderboy in the final laps was ferocious and cool, but the Horner management didn't think so, Mark's ears ringing from the repeated orders telling him to stay put. But the Aussie is notoriously deaf at times... As Quick Vic Elford once said after getting the team orders pitwall sign, "I kept going as fast as I could". Some are deaf, others are blind, all are racers, for our joy!

Goethe said: "Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen".
Jenson Button must be a magician. Five pit stops, a collision, a drive through penalty, and he wins
the race on the last lap, two corners from the checkered flag? You couldn't make that stuff up, and
reality beats fiction 1-0. All credit goes to the coolest driver in F1, whose name will undoubtably
grace the history books, a man who after having conquered the greatest of wins in the most treacherous conditions savoured victory on the podium with genuine, gentle happiness and not a trace of arrogance.
Bravo!
