 Lewis Hamilton followed in the footsteps of his hero Ayrton Senna by becoming a wet-weather master at the British Grand Prix on Sunday. Hamilton thrilled 90,000 rain-soaked fans at Silverstone, and millions more watching on television, by claiming a thrilling victory to lift him into a three-way tie at the top of the drivers' championship.
The Briton, 23, left his rivals trailing in the spray from his McLaren to join Sir Stirling Moss, Peter Collins, Jim Clark, Sir Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, John Watson, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert and David Coulthard as a winner on home soil. After failing to score in the last two races in Canada and France, and with increasing pressure on his shoulders, Hamilton produced what he described as his "best victory". |

 So... Peugeot didn't win Le Mans. To celebrate this fact, the French manufacturer has released a limited edition 207 called the Le Mans series.
See, Peugeot initially announced the special edition 207 after it had locked out the first three positions in qualifying for the 24-hour race and looked odds-on for a crushing victory. Instead, the 908 lost at the last to Audi's R10, and Peugeot was stuck with a somewhat hubristic bunch of stripy 207s. The Le Mans edition - which will be limited to a mere 2000 units - gets a special front bumper, a Peugeot stripe on the door and some aluminium bits on the inside. It'll come with the choice of one diesel engine and two petrols. Rumours that McLaren are shortly to launch a So We Didn't Win The 2007 F1 Championship But We've Got Some Cars To Shift special edition SLR remain unconfirmed. |

Sir Jackie Stewart has brought into focus the latest conspiracy theory to surround McLaren. Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen were both hit with penalties for Sunday's French Grand Prix by race stewards representing world governing body the FIA. Hamilton started the race at Magny-Cours from 13th due to a 10-place grid penalty for his shunt into the rear of Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari in the pit lane in Montreal during the Canadian Grand Prix. |
