Flying through the air in Canada

40

We couldn't resist this arty little shot of the Canadian Grand Prix winner's trophy flying through the air.

It had been launched skywards by Lewis Hamilton as he celebrated on the podium after his sixth victory in Montreal.

It's a rather lovely trophy this year, topped off with the distinctive outline of the national symbol, the maple leaf.

Below is the same moment, taken from a different angle and from a wider perspective, so that you can share Hamilton's delight at the result.
