Hamilton’s 10-place grid penalty for the next race in Magny-Cours, France has rekindled hopes for the reigning F1 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen of winning the second title in a row. Hamilton’s gaffe of hitting the back of Raikkonen car in Canada is extremely criticized by the media and people of the F1 fraternity. Lewis Hamilton may not be too hopeful of winning the next race at Magny-Cours, but he has to show his mettle and prove that he is certainly the driver to beat this season.
Who would have thought that BMW’s Robert Kubica would be the championship leader at this time of the F1 season? Who would have thought that both Hamilton and Raikkonen wouldn’t gain any points from the last race? It’s certainly getting difficult to predict a dominant winner. But still, like many people in the F1 paddock, I have a feeling that this is Ferrari’s golden opportunity to get into the lead through some thoughtful strategy on race day. This is the best phase of this season as the tension gets bigger and the adrenaline shoots higher. With four drivers in the hunt for the coveted title, this is going to end in a nail-biting finish for sure.
Hamilton is already feeling the pressure and the expectations that he is shouldering in his young shoulders are immense. This is the time he has to focus and control his nerves – the margin for error is very little in formula1. He is a natural quick driver and he should just concentrate on the job at hand instead of feeling the pressure and making silly driving errors. Oh! My heart goes out to poor Alonso who dethroned and forced the great Michael Schumacher into retirement. The two-times World Champion certainly understands the value of a front-running car like Ferrari and McLaren, which he had to forsake following his problems with Hamilton and Ron Dennis in 2007. Maybe newly married Flavio Briatore would push his lady luck to get some points for Renault in the next race. It’s going to be one hell of a drama all the way to the chequered flag! I can’t wait till Sunday…
