European F1 Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton has been recovering from 'flu. Meanwhile McLaren, Ferrari and Honda have been plagued by the scandal surrounding whether any confidential Ferrari data was revealed to McLaren and/or Honda and what illegal activities Ferrari were involved in as part of a counter-espionage operation they were covertly waging against Nigel Stepney while he was still employed there. One thing is for sure. Not one of them will come out of this scandal completely unscathed and smelling of roses! This intrigue is worthy of a James Bond movie plot!!
So, back to the action, will Ferrari still be slightly dominant over McLaren? I think so! Will Massa fight back having been overshadowed by Kimi recently? Possibly. Is Alonso gaining any advantage over Hamilton as a result of the PR battles he is waging in the media? I don't think so. I do think though that Hamilton made some uncharacteristic errors (e.g. at the refuelling stop) at the British GP because he allowed the pressure of performing at home to get to him a little bit.
Let's see how the practice times start to show how the weekend might turn out.
