Review: British GP
NOTE: this WHOLE post is on Formula 1
The Silverstone track has been changed a little bit. But I do love how one of the corners is called Maggots.
Oh hellooo big surprise in the form of Button missing the cut for Q3. So more 'old men' in the top 10, De la Rosa, Barrichello and Schu =D Webber didn't look happy after quali. Senna been replaced this race by Yamamoto, most likely for economical reasons.
Race: Moderate temp, mid-20's air, mid-40's track. Sunny
Start is semi-chaotic. Vettel picks up a rear tyre puncture as he runs wide and ends up at the back, having to pit. Massa gets a puncture as well in the shuffle, Kubica moves up to 3rd, Ham up to 2nd and Webber up to 1st. Alonso looses a few spots due to a back start. i shouldn't get too excited because there is a Kubica train this week, hopefully it won't turn out as bad as the Kobayashi train. Renault just can't find too much speed in Silverstone. --is lazy and cbf re-telling an uneventful 20 minutes or so-- Webber seems to be lapping his teammate, he should be pleased with that. Can you imagine him rude-fingering Vettel as he drives past going 'take that, you motherf**cker and your wing!'. NOOO KUBICA RETIRED ON LAP 20 NOOOO *cries*. I'm trying to listen to his interview but I can't relaly understnad what his saying, something about something going under his car? Gosh, I suck xD And Alonso get's a drive-through for cutting a corner to pass Kubia earlier on, and it seems a bit problematic because he claims Kubica pushed him off the track. Ferrari and Alonso are going to hate the stewards for the rest of their lives. But I have a small feeling that the Massa team wouldn't feel too down about it xD Alonso takes the penalty straight after the safety car leaves so he drops wayy down into 16th. Vettel benefits and up to 14th.
GOD SEBASTIEN VETTEL DON'T DO ANYTHING WEIRD AND OVER-OVERTAKE AND NEARLY LOSE YOUR CAR WITH ONLY TWO LAPS LEFT. Vettel stuck behind Sutil in 8th. He gets through to 7th. Webber wins and the radio message is of particular interest. Webber says he didn't do bad for the 'number 2 driver' and Horner asks 'can you smile now?' CRINGEEE
Results: Webber, Hamilton, Rosberg, Button, Barrichello, Kobayashi, Vettel, Schumacher, Hulkenberg (but he retired on the last lap, so maybe its Luizzi?)
Championship standings:
Hamilton on 145 points
Button on 133, Webber 128, Vettel 121.
Notes: -'War on Red Bull' has been announced by Webber. But seriously, I would be annoyed if I was him.
-Who is that I see in P6? I think Kob might just be my new 2nd bias *pushes Vettel aside* xD
-Button from 14th to 4th, so McLaren's weekend hasn't been as bad as expected
-Commentators are saying Vettel's points were a 'gift' from the safety car. Would I expect less from patriotic extremists?
-Sutil has scored points for 6 races in a row. Force India have been improving very well this year.
-I wouldn't usually say this but well done Mark Webber! I've learned to somehow respect him more. Congrats on win number 3 for the year =D
Germany in two weeks. Don't know if I'll still be alive to review that xD
