That Hamilton "starstruck" quote is one of my favourite ever in the sport.

The guy is the biggest mischief maker on the grid, love it. I hope he continues this.

I wouldn't put it beyond him.

Just because it is The Sun doesn't mean it's false. Maybe out of context!

I want to believe it. It's rare, hilarious gold in a sport where a drivers personality is deemed edgy because he likes Little Britain and Monty Python.

Saw one of Carter Ruck's top people on tele the other day. He was talking about how well the papers check their stories before they allow them to go to press and he said The Sun are one of the best for getting their facts right. Of course it's not whether what they print is accurate but which facts they choose to publish and how they present them that makes them the lowest of the low ( now NOTW has gone ) and he certainly made it clear that he did not consider them a quality paper (of course he did it in a totally non-actionable way ).

In case you don't recognise the name Carter Ruck is the top libel law company in the UK.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Lewis Hamilton, disguised as a donkey, made an ass of himself.

In other news, the likeable and modest Jenson Button wins the Grand Prix

If you take it in context of the whole interview, think what he meant was that he is that he finds it harder to believe that he is good enough to be an F1 driver than some of the people around him. Not that he thinks he is amazing as the Sun put it.

I'm not sure it's so much "getting the facts right" as "not printing anything blatantly libellous".

Of course, it is easier to get your facts right if those facts come straight from peoples' voicemails and emails...

I'm afraid I'm out of the office right now but if you leave a message I'll read it in The Sun later.

Let us make a list of where certain drivers excel:

Vettel : qualifying.

Button : changing conditions

Hamilton : overtaking and extreme wet weather conditions(I was going to add crashing but lets keep it serious!).

Alonso : team building(McLaren year being a blip).

Oh! Absolutely!

How cool is it that Alonso spends so much energy - and is so effective - in ensuring Massa has equal opportunity within 'The Team'?

Alonso can build the team up in the knowledge that he easily has the speed and talent to beat Massa.

The more times Alonso manages to get that Ferrari onto the podium, the more I'm convinced he is the outright best of the post-Schumacher era.

One would definitely conclude that he is the strongest of the current era or probably of all times if he accomplished that feat!

I think the Ferrari is every bit as quick as the Red Bull, depending on the circuit. They've just had a few wettish/cold races and haven't been able to show their proper pace.

Loved Button's little dig at him after the race though?

JB: "Hey mate, how was it for you?"

FA: "Not bad"

JB: "You kept going off didn't you?!"

FA, slightly irriitated look: "Er..Traffic."

Yeah, but have you ever tried lifting a Ferrari up? Should be around 560 kg depending on the driver's weight!
