No news on Hamilton either way, which we must assume is good news. The drivers’ championship leader, and world champion, starts on pole position for the race. Unless a serious curveball is thrown in the next five minutes.
Regardless of Hamilton’s attempt to match Schumacher’s 91 wins, one piece of history will definitely be made today: the Finn Raikkonen will draw level with the Rubens Barrichello’s all-time record of 322 race starts.
