Vettel Wins Another Largely Dull Valencia GP

I realize many of you will argue that the Webber crash alone made this race at least a little exciting. However, whilst I agree the incident was indeed tense (and thank God both Webber and Kovalainen walked away safely), the resulting safety car actually made the race even more boring than it otherwise would have been.

The start was good at least. Vettel sped away comfortably, but a slow Webber gave both Hamilton and Alonso a very strong shot at gaining some places.

Hamilton made it to P2 but had to hold of a fiery Alonso, now in P3. Further back Kubica, Button and both Williams had also overtaken a strangely slow Webber.

Here are your positions after lap two:

Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso, Massa, Kubica, Button, Barrichello, Hulkenberg, Webber, Buemi, Schumacher, Sutil, Liuzzi, Rosberg, Petrov, Alguersuari, de la Rossa, Kobayashi, Kovalainen, di Grassi, Glock, Chandhok, Senna, Trulli.

By lap three it didn’t look as if much was going to change, despite Hamilton complaining of a damaged front wing.

I suppose the only thing really worth mentioning was that Trulli stopped on lap one, only to go back into the pits a few laps later stuck in gear. The Italian did rejoin the race, but he was two laps down and only gaining valuable experience for the Lotus team.

On lap eight Webber pitted, but there was a disaster as the team struggled to remove the left front tyre. This 7.9 second stop (Red Bull aim for a three second stop) only made matters worse for the Australian who seemed to have no technical problems...he was just slow?

The next couple of laps were uneventful, but suddenly on lap 10 we saw Webber upside down and about to have a huge smash with the tyre wall!

The Australian had found himself out of place behind the slower Lotus of Kovalainen, and around turns 12 and 13 Webber saw an opportunity to pass.

However, arguably the Red Bull man underes...
