Sweet revenge for Mark Webber when he won the British Grand Prix today. The Red Bull Team had given his updated front wing to Vettel before qualifying which understandably upset the Aussie, although the team denied any favoritism. Webber made a great start from second place on the grid and outgunned Vettel to the first corner. Vettel touched Hamilton’s wing end plate and collected a puncture which put paid to any chance he had of a podium finish. Hamilton drove a great race in his uncompetitive McLaren to finish 2nd and Jensen Button drove a great race from 14th on the grid to 4th overall. Alonso was never really fully competitive and was finally given a drive through penalty for cutting the corner at Club whilst overtaking Kubizca. He was so upset that he left the track immediately without any comment to the media.

This result for Mark will hopefully make the Red Bull Team think again about playing games with the drivers. Mark has surely established himself as every bit as quick as Vettel if not quicker in many instances. He has now won the two most restigious races of the year, Monaco and Silverstone.

The new section of track proved interesting but did not provide any genuine overtaking opportunities  and the powers that be at the BRDC must be wondering why they spent all those millions to make the changes.

The next race at Hockenheim is home territory for Vettel and he will want to pick up maximum points there. I am sure Webber will have other ideas.
