Post 200, 2012 British Grand Prix Review and thoughts and some classic Eddie Jordan moments

Post 200 and 2012 British Grand Prix Review the ninth race of the F1 season at Silverstone, and thoughts on the race and the late show from Mark Webber. And a few classic Eddie Jordan moments.

Good points

  • Red Bull (Mark Webber won the British Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel finished 3rd)
  • Ferrari (Fernando Alonso finished 2nd, Filipe Massa finished 4th)
  • Lotus F1 Team(Kimi Räikkönen finished 5th fastest lap of the race, Romain Grosjean finished 6th, despite changing a front nose on the second lap)
  • Bruno Senna (finished 9th)

Also to mention the British fans (that's includes me), despite it was raining throughout on Friday and Saturday and dry on Sunny on race day. 120,000 British fans are the best fans around the world.

Bad points

  • McLaren (Jenson Button finished 10th, Lewis Hamilton finished 8th)
  • Pastor Maldonado (collision with Sergio Perez at Brooklands on lap 14, back to the pits for repairs and finished 16th a lap down)
  • Sauber (Sergio Perez DNF Collision with Maldonado, Kamui Kobayashi braked too late during one of his pitstops and knocked down three mechanics with the right side of his car. finished 11th )
  • Nico Rosberg (finished 15th)
  • Force India (Nico Hülkenberg finished 12th, would have finished 9th but a late error at Copse on lap 49 cost him points, Paul di Resta DNF, Collision damage with Grosjean on the first lap of the race)
  • Vitaly Petrov (DNS, Engine)


I thought it wasn't the best British Grand Prix ever, but the last ten laps may disagree. With ten laps to go, Fernando Alonso pulled out over a five-second lead over Mark Webber, on the last stint Alonso used the Pirelli's soft tyre compounds and Webber was on the Pirelli's hard compounds. Alonso used the hard tyres for the first two stints and on the final stint to try the softs, and could not keep up his previous pace. Webber caught Alonso rapidly and was behind him with seven laps to go. Then on lap 48 out of 52, Webber pass Alonso at Brooklands for the lead of the race and the win. Webber is now 13 points behind Alonso. Next stop Hockenheim in two weeks time.

In
Post 100, I put in a Youtube video into the post on were Sebastian Vettel would like to sign were he souldn't onto one of Eddie Jordan's shirt for charity. And for the last four years, Eddie Jordan hasn't swear on national TV, until now:



Also, Eddie Jordan dropped a £50 note during the qualifing session too:



End of post for now, new post soon. That is all. Bye.
