Was my fifth year going but this year was unbeleivable!
It was brilliant when vettle got the puncture and the crown just burst into laughter! Hamilton and Button got massive support from the crown! 

Fantastic year for Silverstone and the Brits  :grin: do have to say Webber deserved 1st, he was really pushing every lap

Nah, I'd say Renault will be looking for a bigger player if their results continue to be solid this season. Yesterday not counted of course....

I think in the end Vettel and Webber could well loose Red Bull the Constructers championship. Already they should be miles ahead if not for their Stupidity. Then Red Bull add fuel to the fire by esculating it with the front wing fiasco. The two drivers should be well ahead too.
Mclaren may not win many races but the two drivers are consistant at picking up points.

As for Alonso he thought he would walk the championship before the grand prix season started. Now Massa and he hate each other. Funny that. :rolleyes:

Are you really surprised Massa hates Alonso? Massa played second string to Schumacer then seemed on par with Rikonnen (just because Rikonnen didnt care anymore because he was so rich) then Massa has had to compete with one of the most talented drivers in the feild at the moment and he's playing second string again!

Red Bull should be way out ahead but the fact is there not. And its because they thought they would walk this season with vettle as the main man. When Webber really started being a title contender the team didnt expect it and didnt know how to react. So while Red Bull argue between themselfs every race the Mclaren boys are having some good FRIENDLY competition and with that are proving some very good consistant finishes  :smiley:

I think Red Bull deserve the Constuctors championship because of all there hard work but i dont think either driver deserves the Driver Championship because neither are mature enough. Vettle and Webber are both getting as bad as Alonso!

Since the accident Massa has been nowhere. He should really either raise his own bar and punch above his weight or retire. At the moment he's only just keeping his head above the water. Alonso IS expecting it all to be a walk in a park, but then again Ferrari has always been competitive and to suddenly enter a new team and be fighting with renaults and toro rossos must be frustrating. He's not had much luck this year either, engine problems, safety car scandals etc. In my openion Alonso is the best driver out there pound for pound, he's not the best at defending or attacking, but he is consistent and skilled in all areas.
Ferrari need to stop complaining as a team about everything and start actually developing the car properly and being competitive. At the end of the day, even the best of drivers (Schumacher) with bad cars can't do much about the raw speed of the redbulls and reliability of the mclaren.

this is very true...vettle and webber dont deserve the driver championship. neither has the right kind of knowledge to be considered. they will be a little more apt. to getting it when they have consistently stayed the points lead and shown they can keep this pace up not just drive a car to the finish a couple of times.
