The British Grand Prix's Ended.

And as usual nothing really happened. This is no great surprise because Silverstone is a rubbish circuit and should have been removed from the F1 calender years ago.

All the action was over in the first three corners after the pole sitter Vettel quickly lost first place to his RedBull team mate Webber. He then made contact with the front wing of Hamilton's McLaren which gave him a puncture which forced him off the track and in to last place. There will no doubt be a conspiracy theory surrounding whether or not Hamiliton's front wing end plate had been especially sharpened to help give the McLaren team a good result at their home race. It was just a racing incident though. Once out in front Webber was much faster then everyone else so his victory was never in doubt.

The only other thing is Ferrari's Alonso had his race ruined after the race stewards gave him a drive through penalty following a very technical breach of the rules. This forced him into last place and proves that I'm not the only one who thinks he can be a bit of an asshole.

Anyway the provisional result pending stewards enquiries, television replays and some bitching and moaning is;

1. Mark Webber, RedBull, Australia.
2. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, GB.
3. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes, Germany.
4. Jenson Button, McLaren, GB.
5. Rubens Barrichello, Williams, Brazil
6.Kamui Kobayashi, Sauber, Japan.
7. Sebastian Vettel, RedBull, Germany.
8. Adrian Suttil, Force India, Germany.
9. Micheal Schumacher, Mercedes, Germany.
10. Nico Hulkenberg, Williams, Germany.

Incidentally has anyone else noticed that Kobayashi has been having really good season.
