How nice to see a Formula One race with drivers who appreciate each other's talents without enmity.
Following the recent antics of Lewis Hamilton, being a very childish and miserable loser, today's Canadian Grand Prix, a terrific race by the way, has been won by the 'new boy' Daniel Ricciardo. The prize giving demonstrated all of the best of real sportsmanship - Ricciardo oh-so-happy but without any attitude, Vettel so pleased for his team mate and with no animosity, and Rosberg thanking his lucky stars that he'd managed to finish at all. The champagne flowed with genuine enthusiasm and pleasure from all concerned.
Compared with the recent Hamilton shows of puerile petulance, this was a return to the real spirit of this great and dangerous sport. Hamilton may be a fine driver but he's not a good sportsman; Ricciardo, Vettel and Rosberg appear to be exactly what Hamilton is not - both great athletes and great sportsmen.
More power to their elbows.
