Going Into This Race
Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Hamilton leads the Drivers’ Championship with 30 points, one ahead of Alonso on 28 and Massa on 27. Räikkönen is fourth and Heidfeld fifth. McLaren leads the Constructors’ with 58 points, nine clear of Ferrari on 49, with BMW Sauber a further 26 points behind.
Previous race
Massa won in Spain for the second consecutive race after Alonso and Hamilton led both Friday sessions. Hamilton finished second again.
Between-race developments
Six days before the race, a mysterious white powder was found in the fuel tanks of Räikkönen’s and Massa’s cars at Ferrari. The parts were replaced and the powder sent to police for examination. Ferrari employee Nigel Stepney is linked to the incident; he was reportedly frustrated at not being promoted to technical director after Ross Brawn’s departure. Pre-race testing at Circuit Paul Ricard on the Monaco-configured layout saw Hamilton set the fastest times across the days of running.
Practice
Saturday morning final practice is heavily affected by rain. Spyker’s Adrian Sutil tops the wet session.
