] Stood around and posed for pictures at a screening for Asif Kapadia's scintillating (and arguably partisan) documentary Senna: Beyond The Speed Of Sound. It is as must- watch as can be, and Hamilton, one of its most outspoken fans, was game to promote it. So much so that when some enthused locals asked him to sign on the Senna DVDs, he did so with a flourish.Now that's not on, young Ham. It's all well and good to idolise the immortal Ayrton, that fieriest of racecar drivers, and to declare him your greatest influence, but it is in tremendously bad taste to scrawl your John Hancock all over his likeness. When he died a legend, you were nine years old. It is akin to declaring yourself Senna-like, when the man himself, God bless his soul, is in no position to object.
Why Lewis is looking at a deceased great for endorsement is presumably because the living ones haven't been as impressed with him as they used to. It's been an embarrassingly bad season from Hamilton, consistently whipped by teammate Jenson Button [ ]. He's lashed out at the stewards, once going as far as to say that he's being punished too much simply for being black. He's broken up with a Pussycat Doll, (and blamed his bad form on the split) and picked the man who made Pop Idol to be his manager. It has been a cringeworthy year.

Since then I've read two more books, both obviously a lot briefer than this one: Rupture (aka A Thousand Cuts - a better title) by Simon Lelic and The Wings of the Sphinx by Andrea Camilleri. Both these books are marvellous in very different ways. I thought I might share some extracts from this latest novel by the supreme Camilleri, aided and abetted by his magnificent translator, poet Stephen Sartarelli.





Turner, never a popular choice as coach, has taken what was a Ferrari team and coached it down to a KIA, struggling to win games, getting bombed by the best, and losing more than winning. Smith is no longer looked at as a draft pick guru,
The classic Ferrari red apparition requires you to blink a few times before its composite parts - stuffed angry birds and teddies, model Ferraris and Ultra men - come into focus. Whereby hangs a tale. "After the tree has done its job of bringing in
