With high temperatures predicted all weekend, I think we can get after Lewis Hamilton a little bit, despite him topping practice times yesterday afternoon.


I’m inclined to tread a little warily this weekend. My gut instinct is that McLaren will put Lewis Hamilton on a Pole strategy tomorrow in an effort get the boy wonder some good publicity, following what has been a difficult couple of weeks for him, both on and off the track.


Although the times may not exactly be desperate for Lewis Hamilton, his grid-penalty for Magny-Cours means that he will have to call on some reasonably unorthodox measures, to take anything worthwhile from the coming weekend.


I’ve jumped in early and taken up to 11/8 about Kimi Raikonnen to win in Magny-Cours. He could have been backed at 6/4, but I missed the price (but I will be keeping an eye out for the rest of the week).
