F1 Germany

My apologies firstly for missing my blog for the British Grand Prix but I have been heavily involved in moving my man around during the F1 crisis talks. The infighting still goes on but there is a solution and hopefully that will be sooner rather than later.

Germany was a good Grand Prix and the Red Bull's are really showing their prowess over the Brawn's. It always looked as though Lewis could do something from 5th off the grid with his KERS and he certainly shot to the front and could have been leading into turn 1.

However, on his meteoric path through Mark Webber caught his rear right wheel and what ensued was a puncture which basically ended Lewis's race but we can all take heart that the Mclaren's are back and fighting at the sharp end again.

Mark had a strange start as before he caught Lewis he had side swiped Rubens for which he was to get a drive through penalty. The Red Bull strategy and Rubens lack of pace meant Mark was soon back at the head of the field, a position he was never to relinquish.

There were good scraps all the way down the field but the Red Bull's were on top all the way through and finished 1,2 again. Massa had a good race eventually finishing 3rd but he had badly affected Rubens' race through the middle stint.

Nico had a good race again finishing 4th and looking at his results he is now very consistent finishing the last 2 races in 5th and before that a 6th. Both Brawn's were locked in battle in the latter stages and there was never a doubt Jenson would come out the better of that and he did crossing the line in 5th with Rubens behind him.

Rubens had his usual go at the team, of course accusing them of favouring Jenson and the heavy days at Ferrari come to mind whilst he was number 2 to Schumacher.

So an eventful race ended with the championship tightening up slightly but Jenson leaves Germany still with a 21 point lead over Vettel with Mark only a further 1.5 points behind with Rubens a further 1.5 points behind.

The next circuits certainly favour the Brawn's as they need warmer temperatures for the tyres to work properly so Hungary will be very interesting as it is of course where Jenson took his first win in a Honda which seems to be eternity ago.

In the constructors championship Brawn still have a lead of 19.5 points so it is getting very interesting in both sides of the championship. Bring on Hungary.
