Last French Grand Prix
Tomorrow sees the last French Grand Prix at the Magny Cours race circuit in Nevers. It’s not a particularly popular race among the drivers and it’s remoteness, being pretty much in the middle of France, means it’s quite difficult to get to, with teams finding it inaccessible. BlogF1 has a bit more about the reasons for Bernie Ecclestone wanting to pull out of this particular meeting, and some discussion as to whereabouts in France it should be held in the future.
I’m not sure that Lewis Hamilton will do terribly well either as although qualifying well, he has a penalty for driving up the back of Kimi Raikkonen in the pit lane at the Canadian Grand Prix which means he has to start 10 places behind wherever he qualifies. It’s unlikely to be a particularly spectacular event!
