Mark Webber Wins British Grand Prix
Mark Webber started the race behind his team mate Sebastian Vettel, but took the lead right at the start when Vettel had the worst start brushing Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren to go off track. Webber never looked back, and even when a safety car period cut down his lead over the rest, he held his nerve to win the British Grand Prix, and keep his hopes alive of becoming the world champion in the 2010 Formula One season.
20 of the 24 drivers managed to finish the race, which saw both Ferraris failing to score a single point. Lewis Hamilton finished 2nd for McLaren, while Nico Rosberg came home 3rd in his Mercedes.

Ferrari need to get their act together as they are falling way behind in the points table. The fight is hotting up between Red Bull and MCLaren in the 2010 Formula One season. As for the driver’s, the field is still wide open and this year could be anybody’s.
See you on the 25th for the next Grand Prix in Germany.
