Formula One 2011

Mark Webber the Third. It has a certain ring to it.


(not the Nurburgring (sic) though)

Has a better ring to it when said in a mock Irish accent.

He's not that bad. He's no Lleyton Hewitt.

He's no Schumacher either.

Is that the same as the cockney rhyming slang Richard the Third (turd)?

Webber grabs pole ahead of Vettel.

Not looking good for home success in this one... Di Resta almost ended up as British number one! Needs a few more downpours to mix it up for the race.

Should be a fun race though with Hamilton starting 10th. That's at least 10 people he can crash into. Spoilt for choice really.

So how far back will Webber slip from poll after the start? I'll have a stab at 5th.

something will go wrong on the pit stop.

If you're after an omen...

The last time there were two Aussies in the same F1 field was about 1977.

Alan Jones won that day.

Of course, Webber has shown he can repeatedly spin crap out of gold.

Is there such a thing as a chin weight loss program? I'm sure Webber III would go a few tenths quicker if his chin didn't weight 10 times as much as Vettel's.

Vettel went straight past him at the start. Typical!

Hehe, surprise, surprise. Chin drag.

Who is the advertising genius that decided advertising the Genie Bra during F1 is the ideal way to reach their target audience? I know a lot of couch potatoes have moobs, but that's going just a bit far, innit?

Cracking race. About 12 laps left.

Bad luck for Button

FMD, Webber all over Vettell for second with 2 laps to go. The Kraut won't be happy.

Wow - one of the best last laps ever. Massa got past Lewis who went on to bump him out of the way in the last corner leaving Lewis in 4th.

Webber ordered to stay behind Vettel

Hamilton and Massa banging into each other as they go across the line!

What a finish.

Shame Mark didn't get past the Kraut.

And amongst all that, and scarcely mentioned thus far, a win to Alonso and Ferrari.

Red Bull 2nd and 3rd ... so it's Mark Webber the Third again today.

Red Bull, actually British but have a German and an Aussie driving for them and fly under the Austrian flag of convenience. Bunch of Nazi's we could have heard "God Save the Queen" so many more times this year if they weren't.

I thought Red Bull (the drink) was vaguely Austrian, and based on some dicey Asian formula?

(Not formula 1)

They build the car in MK and every seems engineer has a British accent, in fact most teams seem have engineers with British accents. I guess if Red Bull is Austrian they have to pander to the sponsors, seems we have the expertise and others have the money, what a shame.
