(I know it’s a bit mean, and Lewis has greatest respect to Ms.Cullen so he would never think like that, but this isolated picture perfectly catches him doing what he does best – effortlessly increasing the lead)

I’ve already left my caption so this comment is not part of the competition but I just wanted to say this.
Why do people feel the need to leave mutiple captions as part of the competition, surely the spirit of something like this is to leave one comment and see how you fare against everyone else.
