Kazuki Nakajima spent four days in New York en route to Montreal, during which time he took in a New York Mets baseball game, visited Ground Zero, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Station, watched the Lion King and trained in Central Park. Talk about filling your days!

Nico Rosberg, on the other hand, jetted straight to Montreal last Sunday. Since then he’s had an altogether more chilled out time than his team-mate, running and lifting weights in his hotel gym. And good news: he’s suffered no after-effects from his crash at the Monaco Grand Prix a fortnight ago.

Poor Silvia Hoffer. After the luxury of Monaco, where our PR guru packed 12 pairs of shoes into the back of her car, she’s having to make-do with just two pairs this weekend. “It’s a complete disaster,” she says.

While Lewis Hamilton was in Los Angeles last weekend mixing it at the MTV Awards, his father, Anthony, was having an altogether more embarrassing time at home. He shunted a friend’s £330,000 Porsche Carrera GT just outside his home. “My first crash in 30 years,” says Hamilton Snr. An expensive one too.
