LE CASTELLET, France (Reuters) - If Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes race engineers are not fully focussed on Formula One in the hours immediately before Sunday's French Grand Prix, blame it on the football.

The four-times world champion conceded on Thursday that even he would be trying to keep one eye on England's World Cup group game against Panama which kicks off in Russia two hours before the race at Le Castellet.
