So we all know the little electric Mitsubishi is coming, and in Japan – with a thumping big Government subsidy – it costs £20,000.

Lewis Hamilton continued to act like a child who doesn’t get his own way; it was apparently his team’s fault for putting the wrong tyres on his car that he ended up in 10th place on the grid.
