Way To Go Webber


Well done Mark Webber, winner of the British Grand Prix.

Despite what appears to be less than full support of the Red Bull Team. Seems to me Christian Horner still has his work cut out for him trying to smooth ruffled feathers within the team.

Oh and well done to Hamilton and Button respectively for their efforts during the race.

Who To Support This Weekend ?


What a quandary ? Who do I support ? No I’m not talking about the World Cup. What a fiasco that has been for England. No I am talking about something that may well see a Brit winning.

Yes its F1 at Silverstone this weekend so who do I want to win, Button or Hamilton or even Webber ?

Obviously as a Brit I would like to see either Button or Hamilton win both this race and the championship. However, I also have great admiration for Webber and feel he would have been World Champion if not for some incredible bad luck.

Despite the fact that he is an Ozzie it is nice to see 3 Union Flags on the podium even if one of them is only in the corner of the Ozzie flag. And when you look back over the season so far the Union Flag has been on the podium for every race.

So come on you guys make Silverstone a hat trick of Union Flags. I’ll leave it to you to sort out the order.

Luckiest Man Alive


Best wishes for a rapid recovery go to Mike Conway, British Indy Car driver, who has survived a spectacular 220mph crash at the Indy 500 yesterday.

That he survived is a testimony to the incredible effort that is put into driver safety. His car was literally shredded as it impacted with the barriers and yet he “only” suffered a broken leg and compression injuries to his back.

Get well soon Mike.

Who Put The Turkey In Turkey ?


So who put the Turkey in Turkey ?

The answer is Red Bull and the Turkey is Sebastian Vettel.

Well done Sebastian Vettel I bet you feel really proud of yourself. Took yourself out. Nearly took out your team mate. Lost your team a whole bag full of points.

Thats what I call a great days work.

And to cap it all, despite the multiple camera angles which show to the contrary, you Seb maintain that Mark Webber tried to run you off the road.

Well its time to fess up and admit you got it wrong.

Click here for the probably most neutral reporting. However, Google Vettel and F1 and you will be snowed with the indignation that I and thousands of other motor racing fans feel about Vettels statements following the incident between Vettel and Webber during yesterdays F1 GP in Turkey. Probably the most level headed reporting comes from Martin Brundle  (Link)who as an ex F1 driver is well placed to comment.
