Magny Cours this weekend. This time last year it wasn't even scheduled to be on this year's calendar.. no loss if you ask me but it's here nonetheless..

With Lewis starting from 11th at best, Robert Kubica buzzing after a 1st race win and the Ferraris with a point to prove it should make for an interesting race..  :)

Tricky one this. Might have to think about it some more! Will Ferrari run there own race or go 'funny' depending on the pace Hamilton shows and try and cover him?

Hmmmmmmmmm

Lewis is in one of those really bad situations with the 10 place drop and being in a quick car.
Mclaren say they want to run him heavy, but of course they will make it into the top 10 which means they have to race with quali fuel. So if they go heavy in Q3 and end up say 5th or 6th, they drop to 15th and or 16th on the grid. Which would never work in a heavy car. Magny cours is about short stints with consistent fast speed. A heavy car gets killed round here, so if they want to stand a chance they are going to have to fill him light go for pole and start 11th on the grid, he'll then just have to use some of that driving talent to get upto around 5th or 6th by the 5th lap, if he can do that a podium is on the cards. But assuming the ferrari's can lock out the front row it'll be a case of everyone else fighting for the 3rd place.

Edit: changed Kubica to Heikki, Looking at the testing, and reading reports from several places, it seems BMW have gone back a couple
of tenths to the top two. I think if ever Heikki had the chance to shine and he really needs to, this will be his best shot.

I think Ferarri have this one in the bag really, although it would be nice to see Heikki get a podium, but I doubt it.

I really can't see this race going any other way. Mind you, I thought Lewis was a nailed on certainty for Canada!

Im still unsure - but id like to think Mclaren would do everything in their power to ensure Kova wins, if they are quick enough, just to take points away from ferrari. But im not discounting a Hamilton win, personaly!!
