What a race to watch! Sebastian Vettel just blew the field away starting on Pole position and finishing 1st for his 2nd win of the season.
The race was much more interesting down at the back, where two World Champions were fighting it out for the best of the last few places.
The scrap between Lewis Hammilton and Fernando Alonso was great to watch, and it seems the crowd at Silerstone loved it when Lewis outbraked Fernando at Copse Corner. It may go down as the overtaking manoeuvre of the year, but it was one of the best of the race.
There also was one very unusual result as well today. Nelson Piquet Jr *beat* Fernando Alonso.
However one thing for sure is, there is now a fight for the world championship going on between Red Bull and Brawn Grand Prix. That’s good news for F1 fans, as we like to be kept on the edge of our seats, although last year’s finish at Brazil will take a lot of beating.
So in the next 3-4 races I expect the World Championship to be between 3 drivers - Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel and Rubens Barrichello. However I do expect someone to get in the show a little, and that is Mark Webber.
Silverstone memories.
Finally, is it Silverstone’s final F1 race?
Domington park may not be ready in time, and Bernie in the past has stated there will be no British Grand Prix in 2010 if Domington Park isn’t ready. However both Bernie and Max have now both stated there will be a British Grand Prix in 2010. Where it will be, is yet to be decided, maybe we will know in a few weeks time.
However I’ve been to a few Grand Prix’s in the last few years, I was at Silverwind in 2005. Here is a pick of a few memories I’ve found.
British Grand Prix - Silverstone - 2005 - A lot of support for Jenson Button, I bet there was more flags out today.
British Grand Prix - Silverstone - 2005 - David Coulthard's Red Bull car being towed back to the pits during a practice session.
British Grand Prix - Silverstone - 2005 - David Coulthard taking time out to sign autographs with the fans.
British Grand Prix - Silverstone - 2005 - Give's you wings! Well today, they did have wings by finishing 1st and 2nd.
British Grand Prix - Silverstone - 2005 - Bring back Eddie Jordan. Who would have expected Eddie Jordan to be a F1 pundit for the BBC?
British Grand Prix - Silverstone - 2005 - Jenson Button in his Honda in 2005, taken at Luffield during the race.
See you all in 3 weeks time for the German Grand Prix.
