Spanish Grand Prix, Sunday, 1pm, ITV1, bet here
It is very difficult to even think of Formula One at the moment without setting the words “Nazi orgy” pinging around the brain again, but we shall try. This weekend, Lewis Hamilton returns to the site of his own torment, the Barcelona track where a group of Spaniards thought it would be hilarious to black up and pretend to be Hamilton’s “familly” earlier this year. Who knew they even made racist make-up any more? That stuff’s got to be rarer than wig powder and beauty spots - you’ve got to be really serious about your racism to waste the precious blackface on an F1 testing session. And who knows what the combination of a rustic sense of humour and an irresistible desire to attention seek will bring from the spectators this weekend? Surely not a comedy Kamp Kommandant and his pyjama’d slaves. Please god, not that.
More importantly, if you’re looking to venture a few quid on the outcome, chickendinner reckon it’s not going to be Hamilton’s best Sunday. Here’s why…
1. McLaren have won just one of the last seven Spanish Grands Prix - Ferrari have won five.
2. The McLarens have been much slower than the Ferraris in the last two races - Heikki Kovalainen finished 26.789 seconds behind Felipe Massa in Bahrain, that’s their best yet.
3. A British driver in a McLaren hasn’t won in Spain since 1976 (James Hunt).
