Webber wins Spanish Grand Prix 2010

Mark Webber wins in Spain but Lewis Hamilton crashes out

Mark Webber took a dominant victory for Red Bull at the Spanish Grand Prix as McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton lost second place in a dramatic finish.

Webber led from pole to flag, but Hamilton had out-raced Sebastian Vettel in the other Red Bull before a puncture forced the Englishman out.

That promoted Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari to second, ahead of Vettel, who also hit trouble in the closing stages.

Mercedes’s Michael Schumacher was fourth from Jenson Button’s McLaren.

Vettel looked to have lost third place when he ran into problems in the closing laps… read more

Faultless Webber wins with style in Spain

Mark Webber drove the race of his life in Barcelona on Sunday afternoon, leaving Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel behind on the way to the third Grand Prix victory of his career. The Australian won the race to the first corner as Vettel tucked into second place ahead of McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, and steadily set the pace as he pulled away.

By the time they had all made their first pit stops, Webber was more than nine seconds ahead of Hamilton, who had outfumbled Vettel in the tyre changes. The German got held up waiting for Alonso to come by to his pit, and then Hamilton went one lap longer than Red Bull had expected. As Lewis rejoined, Sebastian was heading for the outside line into Turn One, but as Hamilton had to jink round one of the Virgins which was hugging the inside line to let them go, Vettel had to run wide into the run-off area and that cemented Hamilton’s position. read more

Webber takes crushing Barcelona win

Mark Webber got his 2010 title challenge up and running with a crushingly dominant first win of the season in the Spanish Grand Prix.

The Australian kept Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel at bay into the first corner and was never threatened thereafter, relentlessly extending his lead and driving faultlessly to victory.

A slow pit stop for Vettel promoted Lewis Hamilton to second place, but the McLaren driver was cruelly denied his best result of the season when his left-front tyre failed at 140mph on the penultimate lap. read more

Fans reviews of the Spanish Grand Prix:

“Just returned from Spain having combined the race weekend with a family hoilday and what a fantastic trip !! The plus points were definatly the location of our seats (stand G) and the great weather and of course a British win !”

“I choose this race weekend as a present for my son and husband last xmas, and I was not let down in any aspect of this gift. First I would like to thank bookf1 for the amazing seats provided, my men said it was truly unreal how close they were to the finish line with full view of the pits, and a clear view of the screen for the rest of the action on the track, the joy in their voices told me my choice was right plus the million thank you txt messages I received over the three days they were there.”

“If you are English be prepared for a great deal of good natured banter from the Spanish contingent, especially where L.H is concerned. Also there is a lengthy walk from Montmelo station to the circuit, mostly uphill, which can be tiring if the weather is very warm or if you are older, like me.”

The Spanish Grand Prix is hosted on probably one of the best all-round circuits, Circuit de Catalunya. Which some may think is great, but in fact this event is not one of the most exciting in the calendar.

The reason is simple, there is so much testing done here that the teams and the drivers are just too familiar with the circuit.

The organisers tried to change things a bit in 2007 by redesigning a part of the circuit in order to improve the overtaking and increase excitement, but it proved to be a real failure.

Fernando Alonso became the first Spaniard to win the Spanish Grand Prix in 2006.
