Another superb Lewis Hamilton pole position, this time in Hockenheim, Germany.

Lewis was looking good since he arrived at the Hockenheim circuit setting the fastest practice times throughout the weekend so far. His car was very well set-up, contrary to Kimi’s Ferrari which just didn’t hook up very well at all. But Hamilton was on form all weekend and today managed to secure his pole position for tomorrow Hockenheim Grand Prix.

Here’s what Hamilton had to say:

Lewis Hamilton is going to start in 4th place in Silverstone on Sunday, the British Grand Prix.

It seems it was somewhat of a tough 3rd qualifying session for Lewis who was on provisional for a short while. Nearing the end of qualifying Hamilton came off the racetrack on a hot lap as he was pushing the car and either, the wind turned, the tires weren’t quite right or he simply made a small mistake.

Nevertheless, Lewis starting from the second row of the grid is still a good starting position, he could even be in 2nd after the first few corners, well have to wait and see especially as it is very likely to rain - that’s quite typical in England, but it sure can make an exciting race!

Lewis Hamilton managed to get up to 3rd in qualifying at the Magny-Cours circuit. Unfortunately the racing incident from Canada race resulted in Lewis having a 10-position grid penalty, which means Hamilton’s going to start from 13th position.

Meanwhile the Ferrari of Raikkonen and Massa are starting from the front of the grid followed by Renault’s Alonso. Canada GP winner Kubica will start from 6th position. It should be a very close race as the pack is very bunched up during the qualifying sessions with only a few hundredths of a second between racing drivers.

It could be a very interesting race to watch Hamilton going through the field at the Magny-Cours track, which is notorious for the lack of overtaking possibilities, but

The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team seemed to have some difficulty keeping up with the top runners Ferrari. Renault’s Fernando Alonso also surprised with starting second on the grid. Trulli and Webber also did well to get into the top 8.

It should be an interesting F1 race in Spain, hopefully McLaren have a good strategy to make the best of their current capabilities, it seems Alonso might be on a very light fuel strategy and we’ll have to see Kubica’s racing pace on Sunday, so I think the Hamilton will probably have a good chance for the podium, but we’ll have to see.

British Formula 1 racing sensation will start the Bahrain Grand Prix in 3rd position behind BMW’s Robert Kubica’s first pole position and Ferrari’s Felipe Massa. The Ferrari racing driver was pretty much dominating the racing weekend so far be setting lap-times of nearly a second faster.

The race should be very entertaining and hopefully Hamilton can create some spectacular overtaking maneuver’s in the first few corners of the race. But let’s not count out Kimi Raikonnen who should never be underestimated, he might have had a little trouble in qualifying but the Ice Man can really turn the heat on…
