Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee", came the voice over the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team's radio. And then there was even the Ali shuffle after a victorious Lewis Hamilton climbed from the cockpit at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Lewis's win, his fifth here in nine attempts, and the 45th of his F1 career, was beautifully executed and in a way brilliantly suited to the boxing legend Muhammad Ali, to whom Lewis dedicated this win. After a slow getaway, and a brief kiss of tyres with Nico Rosberg on the first lap, Lewis, with the benefit of a bold and correct tyre strategy, once again tiptoed his way around the track just as Ali was dance his way around the boxing ring to victory.
