Walking past the back of the McLaren garage after the end of the British GP, I was surprised when a senior team member called me over.
"Hey, there's something I want you to see," he said.
I followed him into the inner sanctum, and there it was, sitting on a workbench - the trophy that Lewis Hamilton had won for third place. And what a feeble little piece it was. I couldn't help but laugh, but actually it wasn't very funny.
