Lewis Hamilton: 'I want what Red Bull have got, but it isn't as simple as that'

The handshake is as potentially bone-crushing as ever, the smile broad and unaffected.

It doesn't matter that Jenson fell off after a lap and a half and slightly tweaked a knee; Hamilton set the fastest laps and that's what counts. Tiddleywinks, poker, a grand prix. It doesn't matter what it is, he plays to win.
