Well done Mark Webber!!
What planet is Sebastian Vettel from??
Red Bull are doing a good job on track this year, taking the fight to McLaren, but off track they are a mess. Firstly they try to blame Webber when Vetter took them both out a few weeks ago, and now the front wing PR mess up.
Vettel gets annoyed when Webber gets a better start than him and stays down the inside going into the first corner. His interview after the race was a joke. Its called "racing", Sebastian.
The best things about the GP... firstly watching Webber get one over Vettel, and then seeing the BBC guys grill Horner afterwards. They were not going to let up, and good on 'em.
The guy I feel sorry for the most was the Sutil, the Force India driver who spent the last part of the race defending from Vettel. Vettel should have walked passed the Force India, but he seemed to find it hard work. The only way Vettel managed to get passed Sutil was to run into him. Not a convincing drive, unlike his lap one save when his tyre went, which to be fair, was good.
Liked the new Silverstone layout though. I am not a Silverstone fan, too flat, too wide, too dull, but the new section has changed my opinion. It seemed challenging, fast in places, but also created a couple of overtaking opportunities. It gave the run into the old complex a new lease of life as well, with Brooklands and Luffield now another genuine overtaking point. The bumps made life interesting, watching Hamilton in an normally loose car struggle, getting a bit crossed up over them was good fun while it lasted. The bumps need to be smoothed but they did make life interesting.
Also... Well done to David Reutimann for winning the Cup race at the weekend. Not the most dramatic of Cup races, but good to see the 00 win a race "for real". 2010 is building up to a great Chase race. The question is, does the 48 have anything in reserve, waiting to turn it on once the Chase begins, or have others closed in on him. Who would I like to win? Is it flippant to say anyone other than the 48?? I would love Kurt Busch to be up there, or would want Harvick to hold on, but hey had better bring it to the 48, or they may find JJ running away with it... again...
Also also... The Indycar Series have announced that Dallara will supply the new chassis from 2012, and it will have a variety of bodywork options to give the cars different looks. I was a fan of the DeltaWing concept, but the Dallara looks like a nice middle point between the current generation car and the extreme DeltaWing idea. Can't wait to see a new lease of life breathed into the series and the Indy 500.
