Silverstone GP

A yawn fest at Silverstone

unfortunatley for all the hype last night failed to live up to expectations. Alonso was simply too good, and Michael spent too much time behind Kimi to have any chance of pushing him at all.

Of the start the front three looked like they would give us one of the great races, running nose to tail. Then Ralf Schumacher had an off, taking out Aussie Mark (the poor bastard must have broken a mirror at some point) and bringing out the Saftey Car.

After the SC Kimi was right on Alonso again, but tried to make his move in sector one, when he should have wated to later in the lap... His move allowed Schumi to get close enough to have a go later in the lap and they went side to side heading into (i think) stowe) but Michael had to concede and the race as a racing contest was over.

Alonso proceded to drive away with it, with Michael sitting a second to a second and a half of Kimi.

Michael pitted on 19, Kimi on 20, and they returned to what they were doing before the pit stops. Alonso went 4-5 laps further and showed his dominance.

The second time around Michael once again pitted a lap before Kimi, but Ferrari where up to the challange and got him out in less then 7 seconds, Kimi stopped for 8.5 seconds and the positions where swapped.

They held station to the end.

Perhaps the most disapointing thing was that their wasn't a heap of action down the field either - normally you would expect some fairly cool passing moves at silverstone but no.

Is the championship over? only mechanical failures in the next couple of fly aways can really open this title back up (Michael can easily win the next two, he is traditionally good at these circuts).
