British GP - Short Post

I promised myself that I would blog about the British Grand Prix as soon as it ended.

That was almost two weeks ago now...

Well, a few things stuck out:

Hamilton had a light load of fuel, which enabled him to win pole but finish WAY behind the top two finishers. He never had a chance.

Massa would have been second had he not stalled on the grid before the initial start.

Alonso did as good as he could have hoped, his fuel strategy was perfect for this race. He did not have the pace to win but got some points back from Hamilton.

Kimi put in an AMAZING second stint! The extra laps he put in were simply bonkers, he really put the hammer down with a low fuel load...kinda like another Ferrari driver who recently retired. Those few laps (plus his pace in France) tells me Ferrari is back.

BMW looked strong again, Renault is going to have to fight hard to get back into 3rd place in the Constructor's chase. Kovy and Fisi are good drivers but they are not good enough to go up against an on-form Heidfeld and Kubica. I think BMW has also got a better car this year.

That is it on F1, for today that is.
