Minichamps 1:43 2007 Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-22 Canadian GP Lewis Hamilton
Since this weekend is the 2012 Canadian GP, I thought of taking pictures of this model. This is Minichamps 1:43 version of McLaren Mercedes MP4-22 as driven to victory by Lewis Hamilton during the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix.
In this race, Hamilton had both his first career pole position and first F1 win. Lewis led for most of the race even though the safety car was deployed a couple of times which increased the chances of other drivers to overtake him.
Lewis already raced 4 times at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve during his career. In this particular track he has mixed results. He won twice (2007 and 2010) but also retired twice (2008 and 2011). Lewis crashed into the back of Raikkonen's car during the 2008 GP while Button collided with Hamilton due to very low visibility that caused Lewis to retire during the 2011 GP .
For this year, I am hoping for another win for Lewis Hamilton in this track. Lewis, winning this weekend will create a peculiar pattern for the Canadian GP winning and losing alternately. Note that in 2009, there was no race held in Montreal.
If Free Practice 1 is any indicator of what is to come, we will see a 7th winner on Sunday in 7 different races this year with Lewis getting his first win of the season.
