This was win number 201 from 758 Grands Prix entered by Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, the fifteenth from 122 race starts for Kimi. The Scuderia's number of wins in this race is now nine. Hamilton sets out his favourites Lewis Hamilton has set out his favourites to replace Fernando Alonso at McLaren in 2008 as the F1 driver market looks set for some big moves over the next few weeks. Hamilton says he expects to see any one of three drivers as his team mate next year: Nico Rosberg, Heikki Kovalainen or Adrian Sutil. Latest News F1 The hack looks back - on a driver whose career went wrong Last year, I received a phone call out of the blue. At the other end of the line, speaking from Colombia, was Ricardo Londono, a racing driver with whom I had made friends in the early Eighties at a time when he was trying to get a foothold in F1 racing. The Hack looks back - on the German Grand Prix Whenever I go to the Nurburgring, the first person I think of is always Mike Hailwood. For those few of you who have not instantly recognised the hallowed name of motorcycle racing's greatest treasure, The Man in the Pub - Festival of Noise! As has been the way for the last 16 years, the highlight of this particular petrolhead's summer is not the British Grand Prix, but the annual pilgrimage from the pub to the Goodwood estate in Chichester for the superb Festival of Speed. Feature - Cooked goose for breakfast The worst case scenario which I suggested would happen a while ago has come to pass. At least today. The Hack looks back - at lost races Unlike The Editor of this site, I haven't yet had the privilege of being charmed out of my socks by the cock-eyed optimist who's promising to run the British GP at Donington Park next year and for 16 years thereafter. The Mole - Our American cousins That morning as The Mole was savouring a cup of tea and three chocolate-topped Digestive biscuits, he received a phone call from his friend The Mandarin, at the Old Admiralty Building, overlooking Horse Guards Parade. "They must be Trooping the Colour soon," said The Mole. The Hack looks back - at Monaco Grands Prix A couple of weeks ago my mate Dan Knutson and I were reflecting on the delights of the Monaco GP. It is an utterly ridiculous race usually involving processions and no racing at all, but it is also the only circuit in the world where everyone can get close enough to an angry single-seater to remind ourselves why motor racing is such a viscerally wonderful sport. The Mole - Accentuating the negatives The Mole has been unable to keep up with his duties as chronicler of the slightly demented world of Formula 1 motor racing because of the government's lack of interest in the subject. The Man in the Pub - Momentous times These are momentous, historic times. No, I am not talking about Jenson Button, coming from the hell of earth car obscurity to world champion elect, BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The hack looks back - at Spanish Grands Prix Looking back over the 40 years that I've been writing about F1 racing, I have discovered that many of the really terrifying moments happened at Spanish GPs. Globetrotter - What on earth is Formula 1 doing in China? Formula 1 folk do not much like the Chinese Grand Prix. This is unfortunate because as everyone knows that China is a country of great importance these days in the world economy - and offers the greatest opportunities for the future for the major global corporations involved in the sport. A Hack looks back - at racing in the Far East Here I am in the Peoples' Republic of China, en route to the Grand Prix That None Of The People Will Pay To See, and the more eagle-eyed readers among you may well recall some hackery from this column not too long ago in which your correspondent said he would never set foot in this particular socialist paradise. A hack looks back - at Australia As a regular reader of this column (as well as an occasional contributor to it), I have become thoroughly jealous of The Mole. My labours in Formula 1 would have been much lighter had there been a bevy of Penelopes to do my research for me, and it would have been so agreeable to have had a Mrs Batty around to ensure that my breakfast kidneys were properly devilled and the kedgeree correctly spiced. The Mole - When vice is the spice of life You could have heard a pin drop at Mole Manor. The only sound was the gentle rustle of The Mole's FT as he turned the pages. Mrs Mole was sitting at the breakfast table, nibbling on a piece of toast without making a sound and one needed very good ears to have heard a low chuntering noise emanating from the kitchen, where Mrs Batty, the somewhat eccentric cook, was fussing over some sauteed kidneys. The Man in the Pub - At last, something on the telly Now it may not quite have the attractions of a Jerez or a Portimao, but Kemble Airfield in Gloucestershire is currently the UK's F1 test venue of choice (showing what little choice there actually is) and that's a good enough excuse for us to leave the haven of the pub now and then. The Mole - Hope springs eternal Miss Pringle-Featherby (of the Berkshire Pringle-Featherbys) was all in a twitter, as the members of the Motor Racing and Trade Development Department of the Secret Intelligence Service drifted into work at Vauxhall Cross. It was a dull overcast day but she was excited. The Mole - Choosing the right battlefield The Colonel had got bored with seducing little old ladies in Surrey and had abandoned his blazer, his medals and his tall tales and had decided to expand his horizons and took a train from Dorking up to London, to take The Mole out to lunch at the In and Out Club in St James's Square. Globetrotter - Clever men Benjamin Franklin was a clever man. One of the founding fathers of the Unites States of America, he was an author, a satirist, a political theorist, a politician, a scientist and an inventor. He was a diplomat too. And he coined the expression "nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes". Of course, he had not met any Grand Prix drivers at that point...
