The 2007 French GP Preview
Formula One returns to Europe for what looks set to be the last French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours, a track that is likely to host another round of the Lewis Hamilton-Fernando Alonso fight for the title. Tom Keeble analyses the prospects ahead of the eighth race of the season
The Formula One circus returns from North America for the eighth Grand Prix of the year, at Circuit de Nevers near Magny-Cours in France. With McLaren dominating the last three events, Ferrari are aiming for a return to form.
