Autosport Retro: My favourite F1 season - Maurice Hamilton's 2007

This week, Kevin is joined by Maurice Hamilton, broadcaster, author, and F1 journalist of nearly 50 years to discuss his favourite season, 2007.

2007 was a season where politics played a huge role in the cChampionship battle between McLaren and Ferrari. "Spygate" clouded the middle of the season as McLaren was found with confidential Ferrari information, losing all of their Constructor's Championship points and being fined 100 million dollars.

Lewis Hamilton made his F1 debut and was immediately in a heated battle with new signing and reigning two-time champion Fernando Alonso, which came to a head with Fernando's infamous pitlane block at the Hungarian GP.

Maurice shares stories of covering the huge stories, as well as Kimi Raikkonen's comeback to win the title, and sharing Autosport and Auto Course's Top 10 driver rankings for the season.
