Miniatures of Juan Manuel Fangio and a flying Tommi Makinen

France 2007


FERNANDO ALONSO HAD A GEARBOX PROBLEM AT THE START OF THE FINAL QUALIFYING SESSION, WHICH STOPPED HIM POSTING A TIME AND HE HAD TO START FROM 10TH ON THE GRID. LEWIS HAMILTON MANAGED TO SPLIT THE TWO REJUVENATED FERRARIS OF FELIPE MASSA (POLE) AND KIMI RAIKKONEN. KIMI GOT A BETTER START THAN LEWIS, GOT AHEAD OF FELIPE AT THE 2ND PIT-STOP AND WON THE RACE TO MAKE IT A 1-2 FOR FERRARI WITH HAMILTON 3RD. FERNANDO SPENT A VERY FRUSTRATING RACE TRYING TO MAKE HIS WAY THROUGH THE FIELD WITH SOME AUDACIOUS MOVES ON NICK HEIDFELD AND GIANCARLO FISICHELLA ONLY TO FIND HIMSELF BEHIND THEM AGAIN WHEN MCLAREN SEEMED TO CHANGE THEIR PIT-STOP STRATEGY! ROBERT KUBICA DROVE A SPLENDID RACE AFTER HIS HUGE SHUNT AT MONTREAL TO TAKE 4TH PLACE AND JENSON BUTTON'S IMPROVED HONDA ENABLED HIM TO EARN HIS AND THEIR FIRST POINT OF THE SEASON.
