The winner of the British Grand Prix was the Australian Red Bull driver Mark Webber. Russian Renault driver Vitaly Petrov had all the chances to finish in the points, but due to a puncture lost a few places and finished only 13 th. When the boss of Renault, Eric Bouyer wanted to see in the results of Vitaly Petrov, more stability, it is unlikely to mean a corridor between 11 th and 15 th place. Yes, a Russian in recent years and the finish line properly and arrives in the fight for points is actively involved. That's only on paper from this team is not good. For beautiful overtaking and aggressiveness at the start points do not give. Although, judging by the way, in general, is a championship, for increasing showiness of this option and would come to court. Vitali, of course, is just learning, but it will be time for lack of at least some results will be asked to learn anywhere else. Therefore, the second part of the championship will be decisive for him. If the glasses will be drawn correctly - there is not even so important to their number, it is important to continuity - all would be well. If not, then it is possible Petrova will be asked to exit. It's amazing, but excellent results also can not guarantee the pilot to place in the team if the team this fanatically loves his partner, and most of his set at naught. It is, of course, about the "sweet" a couple of Red Bull - Sebastian Vettel (PET) and Mark Webber (supplement). The situation in the team next - how would indirectly guide asks the question: "Who is superfluous?". And immediately begins to narrow the circle: "Not you, Sebastian! And do not you, engineers! And you do not, the mechanics! And do not you, boy, holding a halberd! "And in the end, except for the second pilot," applicants "are left. So this time, Webber pointed out in his place, and he showed us the answer, where he saw them. The first signs of favoritism toward Vettel looked through all of last season, but this love team to the German driver started off scale. During the Turkish Grand Prix both pilots so carried away by a desperate cabal, which deprived the team of experienced and well-deserved victory. The reason for failure of the wing is somewhere between "oboyudkoy" Vettel and guilt, but the team at full strength stood at his side. Australians such an approach, of course, touched. But then the conflict was smoothed. Now the scandal has provoked the leadership itself, represented by Christian Horner. In Britain Red Bull has brought an updated version of the front wing, which broke just before the qualification Sebastian. After that, not thinking long wing was removed from the machine Webber and Vettel moved to the car. As a result nemey won skills, and an Australian behind him on the tenth of a second. Mark stood on the side of almost all the pilots of Formula 1, with most of its support is the co-pilot, who is no stranger to such things. Webber himself harbored a terrible insult.

Again, it summed up the machine. I have been in the second segment of training, he had all the chances to get into the top 10, but suddenly his stalled car. Russian barely got to the boxes, where the mechanics were able to eliminate breakage, but the time trying to prove worthy of the time he left. The result - 16 th place. Just above it - in 14 th place - has one of the masters race Jenson Button at McLaren. And there was not at the height of car - the whole weekend, the pilot complained of grip. As well as qualifications, the race was supposed to be a benefit pilots Red Bull. And it would be a golden era Ferrari Schumacher and Barrichello, so it would be wrong - the Red Baron and his loyal squire how to start would be the first, and would have reached safely to the finish. But in our case, it's time to cool place. A brilliant start Vettel Webber left behind. German was so frustrated that he immediately managed to fly off the track and earn a puncture, after elimination of which Sebastian has started on the road only 24 meters. Leadership as Webber at that time only challenge Lewis Hamilton, burning with desire to win here, like two years ago. But he soon fell behind, and the Australian Red Bull driver started to break away from the peloton in splendid isolation. Behind him, while seething passions: Vettel ran to win back one position after another, in a brilliant style beat Massa, Petrova, and Schumacher, managing to finally break through as much as 7-th line, nearly ditching along the road of Adrian Sutil, who decided to resist. In this case, good looking and Petrov, a 14-lap left on the 6 th position. And would be a Russian citizen with glasses, if it were not for bad luck that had haunted him all weekend. Vitaly had a puncture and an extra check in the boxes, which put an end to their struggle. The final 13th place is unlikely to satisfy his ambitions and the ambitions of Renault, which everything else and does stay with "the wheel" - Robert Kubica because of problems with the differential for the first time in season got off another 19-meter circle. Also, again no luck and Ferrari: Massa at the start got a puncture and, after a pit stop left on the road 23 meters. The result - 15 th place. On the line above his partner was and Fernando Alonso. Two-time champion failed a start, but after a fight with Kubica cut a turn for which he was penalized for passing the pit lane. In this struggle is over and for him. The winner of the race at Silverstone, Mark Webber, could not resist the sarcastic remarks, immediately after the finish was asked to command respect: "Not bad for a second number?". And in an interview after the race attention the scandal was more than the most win. Cup Designers Place Team Points 1 278 2 McLaren Red Bull Ferrari 249 3 165 4 126 5 Mercedes Renault 89 "Yesterday there was just a unique situation - said Mark. - If it happened a little earlier, I would not have signed a new contract with the team. I was disappointed. Let's see what happens. I intend to continue to do their job and hope that this will be enough. Honestly, I did not think it can happen. Other drivers jokingly offered me his front wing during the parade of pilots. " Head of Red Bull, Christian Horner after the race had to defend and answer uncomfortable questions. "Mark - an important member of our team - he said. - And today he has contributed to this victory, like any other. Of course, we all discuss and attempt to resolve the situation. But it is in the team is already enough to know that sometimes it is necessary to make difficult decisions sport. " Replying to a question whether he regrets about what happened, Horner said no, and the next time, if need be, he will do the same. "We found ourselves in a situation where you do not want to go - we should have left only one wing, and then - someone would have remained dissatisfied. So I turned to logic - and I will use it further, if something similar happens in the next step. The most honest approach - look at the number of points. So what if this happens again in the next step, we again will act the same rule, "- said the boss. British Grand Prix. Race 1. Mark Webber (Red Bull) - 1:36,753; 2. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) + 1,3; 3.
