British Grand Prix Analysis

My 'home' grand prix, and I was not able to watch even a second of it! I do have a valid reason for not watching it, and I will explain in a future post.

I did watch the first part of qualifying on Saturday... not good if you are a Jenson Button fan (and I am). JB, JB, JB... what is happening? You are slipping further and further down the grid. Even if it was a problem with being called into the weighbridge by the stewards, there was still time to do one more run. Sigh... two races in a row where he did not even get the opportunity to compete with the front runners.

Looking back at the results of the race, I cannot help but yawn. Another Alonso win. Another Schumacher second. This season is beginning to be boring. Don't get me wrong, its nice to see Alonso win... but how about some variety? How about at least 3 teams fighting for the championship? My interest in Formula1 died a few years ago because it became too monotonous. Schumacher became too dominant in the end, and I fear this is happening with Alonso this year.

At least the Monaco race two weeks ago was interesting because it had controversy and a surprise podium finisher.

With the World Cup going on, time to shift to North America, where football (or soccer) fever has not taken over. Let's hope for some interesting races, and no more tire safety fiascos!

La Vita e Bella!
