After the celebrations...

So what does any good Formula One world champion do after celebrating his 41st Grand Prix victory at a historic venue such as Suzuka?

Well if you're Lewis Hamilton, it's time to get straight back down to work signing autographs for those lucky Japanese fans who happened to be within touching distance of the podium celebrations on Sunday.

They do seem to be very happy indeed to get a chance to congratulate Lewis on his success in person, don't they?
