McLaren came back to winning ways in Spa after Red Bull had dominated the last few races, how much of that is to do with the new load tests and how much is to do with McLaren&#8217;s improvement is unclear but it does make the championship more interesting. With Hamilton and Webber scoring heavy points and Button, Vettel and Alonso not scoring it puts the Championship into a new light too, it won&#8217;t take much to make it a two horse race.
The race itself showed why the drivers love Spa, and why as spectators it can be interesting due to the rain. When it rains at the track is always causes problems as it only gets part of the circuit. This leads to difficult tyre choices and turns drivers into heroes, or makes them look stupid, of course managing to T-bone another car whilst on a straight is still quite [...]]]></description>

The hungaroring isn&#8217;t the most interesting track on the calendar, it&#8217;s narrow, twisty and boring, the drivers hardly have anywhere to overtake and it only seems to produce and interesting race when something untoward happens. Sundays race was no different really, the only incidents happening under the safety car, with Rosberg&#8217;s wheel going walkabout, Kubica and Sutil colliding in the pits and Vettel getting a penalty. 
Webber avoided all the interesting goings on by staying out during the safety car and then using the Red Bull to the max to open up such a lead to Alonso that he could stop and rejoin in the lead &#8211; that&#8217;s some pace, the others have a lot to do. Vettel would have won the race had he not got a penalty under the safety car but in some ways that seems to sum up Vettel&#8217;s season so far.
The Ferrari&#8217;s capitalised on Vettel&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

The German GP was a good one apart from a single corner that has overshadowed the whole weekend. Qualifying showed that the Ferraris are back on form and that it&#8217;s a six car race each time out. Hopefully that also means that the championship will stay tight at the front as Red Bull seem insistent on throwing away all the advantages that they get. McLaren also need Ferrari to take these points away from Red Bull at a point in the season when their challenge has faded a little. With the top few in title so close and all in competitive cars it should be a great run in.
The race itself was won (more on that later) in the first corner, Vettel was too concerned with Alonso that Massa drove clean past them both and with that distraction Alonso took second place too. The Ferraris also had the form of [...]]]></description>

Silverstone is always a special race and with a new layout for 2010 is was always going to be a good race. Qualifying showed that the Red Bulls were the cars to beat as they locked out the front row despite all the controversy around the front wing that was put on Vettels car. The McLarens were slower comparatively than they have been recently but the Ferrari seemed quicker with Alonso taking third spot on the grid.
The race itself was good, Webber took the lead at the start and Hamilton touched Vettels tyre (or should that be Vettel touched Hamilton&#8217;s front wing?) the result was a puncture for Vettel and the end of his chances. Webber then dominated the race, not really giving anyone else a look in. Hamilton stayed in second being the fastest of the rest while Alonso who should have been challenging Hamilton for that position added [...]]]></description>

The European race was nothing that spectacular really, dry, an accident &#8211; more on that later, a safety car and some racing. The end result wasn&#8217;t really that interesting given the form of the teams so far this season. What was apparent was how frustrated Alonso is getting inside that Ferrari and that a Lotus and Red Bull have very different braking points. Oh and that 5sec penalties actually exist.
The race itself wasn&#8217;t actually that great once the first few corners were done. Each of the cars was just slightly faster than the ones behind and it was spreading out, except that it for Mark Webber who had managed to find himself in ninth at one point. A few laps down the road Red Bull brought him in for his stop so that he could run in clear air and make up some time of the cars around him. That [...]]]></description>

It seems that nearly every team in the paddock has come out over the past few weeks and said that they have massive improvements for Valencia and that they&#8217;re now going to be much faster. While all very well in itself, it doesn&#8217;t really mean much unless your improvement is faster than the other teams around you. Since the start of the season all of the teams, even the new ones, have made massive strides forward in pace. It&#8217;s just that so have all the other teams and the status quo remains about the same. 
The fight at the front seems the closest out and out battle but even there the track conditions and drivers seem to make more of a difference than the car &#8211; which is arguably what should be happening. It&#8217;s not that the teams are making progress, that&#8217;s great, it&#8217;s that they should make a noise [...]]]></description>

The Canadian GP normally serves up a good race but this year was a special one with non stop action from the first corner until the end. It was the first time that the tyre rules really worked as they were planned to, coupled with the endless capacity that the Gilles Villeneuve track has for incidents and F1 sprang to life.
It was the first race of the year that has started without a Red Bull on pole and with the leading cars split on tyre choice the start looked exciting. It played out that way too with passing in the first few laps. Then by the time that the race had just begun to stabilise the soft tyres started to go off &#8211; this was only a few laps into the race. Hamilton and the others on the softer compound pitting to change and the Red Bulls (on the harder [...]]]></description>

Going home from Turkey with a 1-2 would have been McLaren&#8217;s dream result, no? Well it would have been had they not battled with each other for the lead 9 laps from the end, after the Red Bull incident it all seemed a little strange that they would be allowed to do so but neither driver showed the hot headed nature that ended Vettels race and they both carried on to finish but there were a few questions to be asked afterwards.
Both drivers had driven a good race up until that point and were heading towards 3rd and 4th, Hamilton had been fighting with the Red Bulls all the way and Button had been staying in touch and biding his time &#8211; this was the critical thing for the race as it meant he&#8217;d saved some more fuel over Hamilton &#8211; though that&#8217;s not in the most recent description of [...]]]></description>

Ferrari started the season with the best possible result, they beat everyone. Neither was it that unexpected, they had spent the best part of last year developing their &#8216;10 car at the expense of the &#8216;09 car, they had Felipe Massa back, and the former world champion Fernando Alonso joining to take them back to the front. Since then however it&#8217;s gone downhill and fast. We&#8217;re seven rounds in and they are only in touch because the other teams have squabbled over the wins. 
So what has happened? Some of it is simple mistakes, they got in wrong in qualifying for the Malaysian GP and then add to that Alonso practice crash in Monaco and his latest error in Turkey that ensured a 6th row start and it&#8217;s always going to be hard to rack up serious points. Massa hasn&#8217;t been himself all season though whether that is Alonso showing [...]]]></description>

The Turkish GP promised some close racing after qualifying with a McLaren managing to split the Red Bull&#8217;s on the grid and the shows in practice but it was the Red Bulls that seemingly had everything in the bag, though the McLarens were by no means done when the Red Bulls got together. It was Lewis Hamilton&#8217;s first win of the season as Button continues to pick up solid points as did Mark Webber after the incident which saw him pit for a new front wing and still hold out for third ahead of Michael Schumacher.
The 1-2 for McLaren seemed to mask something between the drivers after the race, Button&#8217;s move for the lead 11 laps from the end showed that he&#8217;s not going to let Hamilton get away with anything though the somewhat lacklustre defence of that position a few corners later seemed a little odd. I wonder what [...]]]></description>
