Its race weekend in France once again and once again, Hamilton seems down in luck.Though he qualified in 3rd position, he had to serve out a 10 place penalty because of his pit mishap in Montreal, pushing to 13th in grid positions. 1/4 through todays race and he was served with ANOTHER penalty after he went off track and came back on overtaking another driver, which is not allowed, but he really had no choice. He's now in 18th with team India behind him as last driver. Argh...Raikkonen is FAR far far far ahead.

Alonso, still one of my favourites, might be going to Ferrari next year. That's the rumour! Renault's car is absolute shit, which is not a secret, but can you imagine Alonso with Ferrari? I think its kind of a misfit for imaging. But if he was, without doubt, he'd be in the pole positions. With out any doubt, Alonso, is one of the best drivers out there of these times with Double championships under his belt. With a better car coupled with his skill it would be very interesting!!!!

Anyway back to the French track,amazing race, with very tight corners and turns, making very little margin for any error, if not none at all. Definitely a track that is hard for drivers to overtake one another. To other fans out there, enjoy the rest of today's race!!!
