A homecoming party
McLaren laid on a celebration for Lewis Hamilton's return on Wednesday with the whole team turning out to welcome home their champion. Autosport's Jamie O'Leary was there to soak up the atmosphere
There was a buzz around the McLaren Technology Centre on Wednesday morning. The reason? The triumphant return of Lewis Hamilton to the men and women that helped him become Formula One's youngest world champion in such dramatic circumstances at the weekend.
Around 1500 bodies assembled on the ground floor of the the MTC, and you could sense the buzz about the place. Lewis would not be there for half an hour, but with a world champion among their own for the first time in nine years - you could forgive the stay-at-home heroes for being a little giddy.
