British F1 GP - The Bull charges to victory

Red Bull did a 1-2 finish with Vettel at the top of the podium and Webber coming in 2nd. It was a wekend which Red Bull dominated with Vettel being the fastest in Qualifiers.

Vettel had a good start and lead from start to finish. In a crushingly dominant drive, which underlined the major step forward that the Red Bull team have made on high-speed circuits, Vettel pulled away from Rubens Barrichello's Brawn by as much as a second a lap in a series of quick tours, and never looked remotely challenged.

Both Ferraris managed to finish in the points, though I was hoping that they could do better.

Final results:

1st Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), 1h22m49.328s;
2nd Mark Webber (Red Bull), 1h23m04.516s;
3rd Rubens Barrichello (Brawn GP), 1h23m30.503s.

Turkish F1 GP - Results

1st Jenson Button (Brawn GP), 1h26m24.848s;
2nd Mark Webber (Red Bull), 1h26m31.562s;
3rd Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), 1h26m32.309s.


Looks like only one of my podium prediction was correct. Jenson Button once again finishing first ... extending his lead in the Driver's Championship race and Brawn's grip on the Constructor's Championship.

Turkish F1 GP

Next up .... Turkey !!!!!

Yep, this weekend 7 Jun is the Turkish F1 Grand Prix. This weekend’s race round Turkey’s Istanbul Park Circuit could show the direction in which the world championship battle will go over the next few Grands Prix. The unusual track, which runs anti-clockwise, places a premium on aerodynamic performance and that is bound to favour the Brawns.

The Ferraris will be strong here, and the team are feeling buoyed after their competitive performances in Spain and Monaco.

Championship leader Jenson Button starts favourite. However, I expect Ferrari to make a challenge if they can get the cars to the first 2 rows of the starting grid.

My prediction for this race is Jenson, Kimi, Rubens for the podium.
