vettel drove and awesome race it was amazing well enjoyed being there and when i got home i found id been on tv twice haha and thanks you him winning and jenson not finishing on the podium ive won £70 and well dont lewis for dragging the car home yet again but it was all about red bull vettel for 2009 driver champion

Interesting note - Vettel used the word, "Fantastic" 16 times in his press conference yesterday.

And he certainly was fantastic - gaining over a second per lap on his nearest rivals. It's good to see that Button is human after all, and there is now a notable weak spot in the Brawn car's design. Whilst I said something quite contrary a few weeks ago, I think Brawn should still throw all their support behind Button, as Red Bull should do for Vettel. But needless to say, they should not deprive Webber or Barichello of a win.

Lewis was driving like a world champ today. I swear it looked like Hamilton and Alonso were faster than Vettel. But it just shows how much Hamilton had to push his car to get 3rd last in the finishers.

wooo good 2nd place by Webber. 4 podiums this season!! Only 0.5 points of getting his best resukt in points ever!! Only 40-45% through the season too!

Vettel faultless.
I though it was more Kovalainens fault tbh, although I like him alot.
He was going too slow into the corner I thought.

Kovalainen seems to be qualifying better than LH at the moment, but some how ends up behind him on the first lap??!

It would have been a much better race if Webber got pole or got past Reubens at the start. I hope Webber gets a victory soon because he deserves one. Vettel is closing the gap on Jenson and hopefully we start to get a competitive championship.

However for me the best moment of the weekend was Brundle's pit walk. Martin Brundle went up to Flavio and you're a lunatic! Flavio's expression was priceless!

I dunno about that, Lewis was on a hot lap that would have gotten him into Q2 and as for your comment about how Lewis was ahead on the first lap its quite simple. They had differing race strategies. Heikki was 30kg heavier than Lewis on his one stopper.

I have to applaud Lewis on his doughnuts at the end of the race. Even though I am not a Lewis fan I was glad to see he was giving something to the fans despite not having a great race himself.

Especially good as it was where I was sat

When i was on my way to the F1 party im sure Fisichella went slowly past me on a scooter! Near the copse tunnel, but by the time i realised he was deep into the crowd.

This is the Forumula 1 chocolate cake that is going to Silverstone tomorrow. All forumula 1 members welcome to share

I liked the cake. Granted I did put too much of it in my mouth and nearly choked...

My excuse not to go on the fair ground rides

I'll give my views in a little while, when I get rid of all this Silverstone grass

Some of my photos - most of them are blurry or bad quality, or something / someone got in the way lol, but they're ok.
(Hope it's ok to post them in this thread rather than in the Photos section of the board).

On Friday we sneaked into the middle Luffield grandstand - this was the view we had:

Then on Saturday we were on the raised gravel bit just out of Club corner.
Bout 6:30 on Saturday morning. Our view was just as good as in the grandstand, and with out fold up chairs it was even more comfortable!:

And on Sunday we were pretty much in the same spot.
PEOPLE! Lots and lots of them:

Yeah - I think Firefox or Photobucket is playing up for me. I'm trying to sort it out, but my internet is also playing me up so it's taking me a while lol.

LOL What I have seen so far though has been awesome. Silverstone has so many great vantage points.
Glad you enjoyed your weekend and thanks for these pics!
