Champ by a whisker...and Chump on a turkey-shoot

Totally missed Lewis Hamilton's historic victory in becoming the youngest ever world motor racing champion at the age of just 23 - in only his second F1 season...

No-one seemed very bothered about motor racing here in Little Haiti, Miami: despite flicking the channels on the telly on a mini-bus on which we were based for the day, I couldn't find a trace of anything remotely F1.

Plenty of Sunday programmes hosted by cammed-up geeks demonstrating how to gun down turkeys with high-powered rifles and even one showing how to sit in a tree and wait for a passing deer to kill.

Which reminds me of my favourite election button badge to date, which takes a pop at gun-toting Sarah Palin.

It's picture of a moose with the words: Alaskan Wildlife for Obama.

Quality.

Apart from that, an incredible day on the campaign trail...of which more when I've caught up on a few zeds...

Lewis back on top - now for the Rafa and Roger show...

Brilliant drive in driving rain gives Lewis Hamilton a fantastic win in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. While most Championship contenders spun at least once - and some three times - Lewis confounded his critics and stayed on the road, winning by a second - a country mile.

Great weekend of sport started by 14 year old Laura Robson, first British Wimbledon champion since Annabelle Croft...

Just switched to the Gentleman's Final thankfully delayed by rain almost until the chequered flag at Silverstone...

Already Rafa Nadal has already won a break of serve from Roger Federer in the opening games.

Can the Spaniard knock the Swiss off his perch?

Would certainly be good for tennis and I'm cheering for Nadal.

Whovever wins, looks like we're in for one of the great finals...

Enjoy.

UPDATE: Neither player let us down, did they? Surely it was one of the greatest, and certainly the longest, ever Wimbledon final. An incredibly edge of the seat five hours duelling between the world's two finest - and genuinely nicest players. Rafa Nadal finally, finally beat off a fantastic fightback from Roger Federer. Even Nadal felt for the five-times champion being denied his record sixth championship in a row...

Fantastic.
