Can Lewis Hamilton win his third win in F1 on Sunday?
In what could be the last French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours for at least a couple of years, Hamilton tries to win a grand prix dominated by Ferrari.
Yep, the 2007 French Grand Prix is on this Sunday as the Formula One season resumes at Magny-Cours, a track heavily dominated by Ferrari and a course that hasn't really been that kind to F1's new king, Lewis Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton, currently leading the drivers championship in the 2007 F1 season with 58 points, knows that Magny-Cours is not really one of his favorite tracks in motor racing.
''The French round of the GP2 championship last year was not my best weekend,'' Lewis Hamilton admits. ''I had a coming together in the first race and therefore started race two in 19th. I did make my way up through the field to fifth to score some points, so it is possible to overtake here.''
While Lewis Hamilton was saying Magny-Cours is not really his best track, his McLaren - Mercedes counterpart and two-time defending F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso says Magny-Cours is the first of four circuits he claims as his favorite hunting grounds.
Of course, he's making yet another vow to win the grand prix. Something he failed miserably, two straight weekends now.
''I have always liked racing at this track, when you hear people talk about circuits that are technical, Magny-Cours is definitely one of them,'' Fernando Alonso said.
''It is important to have good speed in the slow corners as they tend to lead on to long straights. You have to have good mechanical set-up for the corners and the same with traction for the exits.''
''My favorite sections of the track are the two high-speed chicanes at the back of the circuit. We go through them at speeds of up to 200 kph, which is very fast for a chicane; very special to drive through and unique in Formula One.''
As for Ferrari... uh... never mind. They just SUCK this season and I reckon they'll see their dominance over Magny-Cours erased by a McLaren on Sunday.
