Not since Valencia gained the boost of having the European Grand Prix awarded to it from 2008 to 2014 has a property market had such a boost from Formula One. All eyes are on Switzerland as Lewis Hamilton’s move to the Alpine country opens the prospect of increasing interest in the investments available on the pistes.

Hamilton, of course, is leaving in part to escape the media clamour, leaving his home town of Stevenage to find peace and tranquility among the mountains. He is not alone in his sport in seeking a Swiss hideaway, as the Times has pointed out, noting that Kimmi Raikkonen, the man who pipped Hamilton to the title, seven times former champion Michael Schumacher and the boss of the sport, Bernie Ecclestone, all have homes in the country.
