Civil war

Who's fault was the clash of the Red Bulls? Well I disagree with Helmut Marko on this one, for I feel Mark Webber gave Sebastian Vettel enough space - not a lot, but enough - and Vettel just drifted wide too early. Seb can't expect Mark to just move over. They're both fighting for this championship, and it's basic racing tactics that Mark will want to leave Seb on the dirty side, and with the tightest possible turn-in angle.

Fans don't want to see team orders, but RBR would have done better to "control" their drivers. That means either tell Vettel to turn the engine down when Mark was instructed to, or tell Mark "Seb's got a run on you - give him space."

Red Bull now stand accused of favouring Vettel, though as it is there's little evidence of that. It's no secret that Vettel is treated as a messiah by Fuschl (Red Bull's Austrian HQ), and Marko's controversial opinions do little to dismiss that, but I see no sign there's anything other than equality at Milton Keynes, despite Mark's cryptic comment that we journalists need to "dig a little deeper."

The crash was actually rather fortuitous for Mark. Okay, he was on course to win - at least until Vettel attacked - but instead of pulling out a seven point lead over Vettel, (assuming, of course, Webber had led the pair across the line to victory), he now enjoys a 15 point lead over his team mate and is still leading overall by five points (Button is now second).

At the end of the year, Turkey could result in Webber winning the title. A colleague did joke with me that Webber is like The Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. "But I've had your wing off..." "It's just a flesh wound". Certainly, coming back from a contact like that to collect third place shows a never-say-die attitude.

This has really shaken up RBR, who were looking unbeatable, and it could make them fragile. This will be very interesting. If inner-team rivalry can destroy old hands like McLaren (see 2007) just think what it could do to a team that's just five seasons old. Christian Horner will need to summon all of his management skills to navigate these choppy waters. Despite what he says about it all being resolved before Canada, I think Turkey will play on both drivers' minds for as long as they're under the same roof.

I opine that to get the loan from banks you must present a firm motivation. But, one time I've got a car loan, just because I wanted to buy a house.

You had fantastic good ideas here. I did a search on the subject and discovered almost all peoples will agree with your blog.

I was wondering what's up by that bizarre gravatar??? I do know 5am is early & I'm not looking my most excellent at that hour, nevertheless I trust I don't look like this! I'd however make that face if I'm requested to do 100 pushups. lol|}

This article is really nice

This is definitely a blog that people need to get behind. The problem is, no one wants to do a great deal of reading and not have something else to stimulate the mind. This is the internet, after all. Maybe if you added a video or two to emphasise your point. Ill stick around, FOR SURE. But, I dont know if others will.
