Why Lewis Hamilton will win at Silverstone on Sunday


chickendinner believe the Swiss driver will top the podium

Lewis Hamilton

Last year Hamilton buckled under the weight of expectation thrust upon his shoulders, but right now people are so quick to write him off that they probably think his dad would stand a better chance of winning the race. The lack of expectation will play right into Hamilton’s hands and he will win the British Grand Prix this weekend. Here’s why:

1. Kimi Raikkonen was victorious last year but five different drivers have won the last five British Grands Prix - Rubens Barichello, Michael Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.

2. The Finn is also on a run of four races without a win and has only even once won the same Grand Prix twice in a row - in Belgium way back in 2005.

3. It won’t be Felipe Massa - he has never finished higher than fifth in five attempts at Silverstone.

4. And it won’t be the BMW’s, who failed to match the Ferraris and McLarens at Silverstone last year. A fortnight ago in France they had their worst result of the season, with neither driver finishing in the top four for the first time - Kubica came fifth and Heidfeld 13th.

5. You can count out Alonso too - the

David Beckham is the world’s best paid non-American sportsman


Wow, that’s surprising

David Beckham

Sports Illustrated - whose dedication to fiscal issues is almost as great as their dedication to taking pictures of pretty ladies on the beach - have published a list of the twenty highest earning non-American sportsmen. They did this back in February, when David Beckham sat in fifth place with his paltry $29.7m annual fortune. Now, Mr B stands atop the pile with a much more befitting sum:

1. David Beckham (LA Galaxy) $48.2m
2. Kimi Räikkönen (Formula One) $46m
3. Ronaldinho (Barcelona) $37.5m

Video: The best Spanish Grand Prix ever


F1 fans pray that Sunday’s race will be this exciting

Before Fernando Alonso underperforms in front of his adoring home fans and Lewis Hamilton manages to mess it up somehow in this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, consider the 1986 race at Jerez. Ayrton Senna beat Nigel Mansell to the finish line by a mere 0.014 seconds, making it the closest F1 finish ever.

Click here for ten reasons why Lewis Hamilton won’t win on Sunday.
