F1 in France

It's a little sad that the French Grand Prix may not be held at Magny-Cours next year. I know it's not a spectators circuit but, by heck, it's a fantastic race to watch on television. And the drivers love it too.

So - to the race. I think I must be a curse on F1. For years I was a Jordan fan, only for them to slide out of he sport. The only racing drivers I ever really got behind was Heinz Harald Frentzen, and Jenson Button! I should never have started suppoting Lewis Hamilton and Mclaren. I feel almost guilty because, if there is a fairness in the world, he should be way out ahead in the drivers standings. He did deserve the drive through but it broke my heart to admit it. I cannot understand why someone at Mclaren didn't get on the radio and tell hm to back off. They mus have known that the stewards would have looked into it; they had to do in the interests of fairness. I can't blame lewis; just can't find it in my heart to do it. The red mist must have settled over him as he had to try and make up a substantial amount of places.

Silverstones next, on 6th July. This is his home circuit. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for both him and the team. Kovalainen did a pretty good job in France (4th) and I hope he can ride shotgun for Lewis at Silverstone. What a joy that would be; a 1 -2 for Mclaren!!

Sigh! I may have to support Ferrari for this to happen, knowing my luck!!

Big wow factors of the race - Jarno Trulli in a Toyota tank taking on & holding off some pretty big heavyweights. He proved he's not just a qualification king.

Big low points of the race - Jenson retiring again. BMW not converting a solid result from last race. Williams struggling at the rear of the field again.
