World champ creates superlap from favourite corners
Lewis Hamilton has designed his dream F1 circuit. The imaginary track features ten of his favourite corners.
“I wanted to create a circuit that would be challenging, exhilarating and enjoyable,” Lewis said, “but most of all somewhere you would love to have the chance to drive and provide the definitive test for any driver, in any car.”
The anti-clockwise layout includes Spa’s Eau Rouge (the best corner in F1, still), Copse from Silverstone and Tabac from Monaco (where he picked up a puncture this season). With only ten corners, it wouldn’t last long, but it would be one hell of a ride.
Bruno Senna, nephew of Ayrton, killed a dog that had strayed onto the Istanbul Park circuit during the second GP2 Series race of the Turkish Grand Prix weekend. The dog, one of two that had evaded snoozy track officials, niftily avoided being struck by Giorgio Pantano. Senna was more accurate than the sloppy Pantano, and took out the dog with precision that his late uncle would have been proud of. The bizarre accident resulted in the Brazilian sustaining terminal damage to his front-right suspension, and prompted a pit lane rant that his late uncle would also have been proud of - watch another vid of the incident, this time with more Senna agitation for your viewing pleasure:
