Vettel dominates otherwise amusing Texan Trial
It was business as usual for first place with Vettel sweeping away into the distance, out of reach of any racing under the bright Texan sun. Behind him however there was some good racing and on-track action to help take the awful Abu Dhabi after taste out of our mouths.
Grosjean drove to a strong second place, holding off the tough challenge of Webber in the closing stages, whilst behind them Mercedes, Ferrari, Sauber, McLaren and even Williams all tussled for points, with some excellent action and back-and-forth overtaking moves through the first corners after the climb up the hill. For a second year in a row since its inauguration the Circuit of the Americas has proven itself to be an enjoyable venue, better than all the other recent additions to the calendar combined.

Mark Webber drove a beautiful race to win at a surprisingly sunny Silverstone Gp, snatching the win from Fernando Alonso in the dying stages of the race with a perfect strategy. Alonso led the race up until the 48th lap of 52 but had to finish the race on the Soft tyres which led to his downfall as Webber completed the race on the harder compound which kept their life to push him to the win.
Red Bull started the race on the soft compound unlike Alonso on the harder which meant they could run the strategy of completing the last 2 stints on the preferred hard tyres. Alonso pushed as much as he could but unfortunately his soft tyres started gaining in the last few laps enabling Webber to close in and pass through the Drs section with a lot more grip.

Sebastian Vettel has taken everyone’s breath away with a sublime one-lap stint at the end of Qualifying to start tomorrow’s race at the front. His nearest challenger was Lewis Hamilton but he was 0.3 of a second away from what could only be described as a perfect lap of Valencia. This put Vettel alongside the likes of Alain Prost and Jim Clark, and only at 24 this is shaping to be a career to match or even eclipse that of the greats.
In Q1, Red Bull’s Mark Webber struggled with a broken Drs rear wing so lost out on over a second a lap with it’s use. This left him in the clutches of the mid-pack teams but, suprisingly, Heikki Kovalainen also took advantage of it and pipped Webber and Vergne to steal 17th place on his final lap as the Chequered flag came down.

Lewis Hamilton fought a terse battle with Fernando Alonso to take a convincing victory after Sebastian Vettel made an unscheduled exit from the race on the first lap at the Yas Marina circuit today.
Vettel looked confident that he would bring another race victory after his qualifying performance yesterday but fate conspired against him and after flying ahead in his usual style he was pitched unceremoniously from the track as his right rear tyre suddenly exploded. The young German was spun violently across the runoff area with his tyre in shreds and despite managing to limp back to the pits he was clearly unhappy when his engineers told him the damage was to severe to repair.
As Lewis Hamilton took full advantage of his good fortune and set about building up his lead, further down the field the Mercedes Petronas pairing of Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg pushed each other...
