It was the location where he felt he had been denied his first victory in 2007, he connected with the race's mystique and heritage better than almost any other driver on the grid, and his charging Turkey performance had set the scene for a McLaren/Hamilton resurgence.
When he topped Thursday practice while Ferrari grimaced about their poor one-lap pace and their suspicion that they hadn't succeeded in closing the gap to McLaren on tight circuits after all, the result looked even more obvious.
