Spain 2011 GP
Monday, May 23
The Spanish Grand Prix could have been -should have been?- Mark Webber's revival.
But from the moment he stepped out of the car after qualifying on pole, it was obvious that
the revival wasn't going to be. The level of competitiveness in F1 today is so incredibly high
that you cannot win if you are not 100% confident that you can. And for different reasons, some
inside him and some outside, Webber doesn't have that absolute confidence. Meanwhile, teammate
Seb Vettel is on top of the world, drove a perfect race, and it will soon become a tedious effort to
add up the number of victories he scored this season... Finally, a word of praise for Hamilton
and Alonso who were both brilliant, extracting every possible bit of speed from their inferior
(to Red Bull's) machines. Mental killers, absolutely confident: it's the name of the game.
Turkey 2011 GP

Four races, three wins and a second place for Sebastian Vettel. Mmmhhh...
It doesn't look like anyone is going to really get in the way of the German kid this season,
except for an occasional hiccup, like the Chinese glitch three weeks ago...
The word "unstoppable" comes to mind: a mean Anglo-French machine, funded and driven
by an Austro-German Panzer division operation... Yes, this season is going to be tough for the
Red Bull competition. Alonso and Hamilton will rise on occasion, and so will Webber, but overall
the kid from Heppenheim will only leave them crumbs.
Malaysia 2011 GP
Thursday, April 14
Give time and money to Adrian Newey, and he will produce the fastest cars in F1, as demonstrated
by the continuing success of Red Bull Racing. Sebastian Vettel's win in the Malaysian Grand Prix
culminated with a well deserved champagne shower for the genius from Stratford-Upon-Avon. No doubt
there will be many others...
