Well, it seems that Sebastian Vettel is not invincible, and I'll bet there were strong words for the pit crew, who effectively ended his chances of winning the British Grand Prix.Mind you, I bet Jenson wasn't too impressed either, as one of the McLaren boys forgot to tighten the wheel-nut, forcing him to retire. That was a shame, because he was doing OK, and in the mix.
As for Lewis Hamilton, he drove a blinding good race, even if he did have to preserve his fuel supply. The team told him to slow down; but he kept the pressure on, and had a final, grand, battle with Massa, right down to the chequered flag.
Mark Webber, who qualified on pole, failed to take advantage, and after a solid race, even catching team mate Vettel, was told to hold position in second, and not try to overtake. He finished third, but I bet he's feeling aggrieved at not being allowed to challenge for second.
All in all, it was an interesting weekend at Silverstone; the new pit straight, the Wing and, even though I wasn't there, the atmosphere, makes it a special place to go racing.
