Fernando Alonso, with his Ferrari has won his first Formula 1 Grand Prix  for the 2011 season and this was the British GP at the newly upgraded Silverstone circuit.

Fernando Alonso took advantage over the some small seconds lost by Red Bull in the pits during the second stop in order to overcome Webber and Vettel,  but this was not the main reason why the Spaniard  fly to his victory today but the pace he had witch was way above the Red Bull’s.

In addition, Lewis Hamilton from McLaren helped Alonso keeping Vettel at bay.  Hamilton had  great race but due to fuel concerns he had to slow down and finished 4th just ahead of Massa which he fought to the last corner of the race.

  The top contesters also had ups and downs, Ferrari was testing different set-up and Massa made a few excursions off the track and set a pretty low time for the first session but he improved almost 2 seconds in the next practice. Hamilton and Button also looked very strong and they managed to secure  first two places in the second testing while being 6th and 7th in the first session.

  Red Bull showed again that they mean business and Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber drove very strong in both sessions, and you can add to this the fact that Adrian Newey told Italy’s Corriere della Sera: "We currently have an advantage of between 3 to 5 tenths.", so yes they are very confident with were they stand this year and my guess will fight very strong to maintain the drivers and constructors championship within their grasp..

  Rubens Barrichello set the fastest time for his team scoring 5th respectively 9th best results, showing that Williams is there to fight and score points.

  Niko and Schumacher also made some fast times but as Hamilton said is still to early to speak about the real deal, and all will be played down in the qualifying session Saturday.

I must say I liked the race from Sunday it had little bit of everything and if it weren’t for the long race behind the safety cars I think it could have been even more entertaining. We all saw Mark Webber hitting the walls and loosing vital points in his fight for the title, but this was at the beginning what was more interesting happened at the end when Vettel managed to blow his engine only 10 laps to go, and how he did that? well easy pushing the car hard and trying to match Alonso’s great lap times. I am amazed how this guy and red Bull manage to screw up so easily. I mean when you are running a two races old engine going on ending third and after staying behind the safety car so many laps you might think that in someone’s brain the team or the driver will occur the though to save a bit that engine and not pushing it to the limit, thinking that Alonso is also on an old engine and further more he need to pass you, but no Vettel in his style pushed that engine to its limits and ended the race gaining squat, like so many time before and what is even more funny if can use this word is that reading the post race declarations of Vettel and Horner the guy that Red Bull will back in this two last races will be of course Vettel even that in order to win the title he need to first and Alonso needs to finish 3rd or worse each race is almost as they are asking to lose the championship, also Massa seems to be getting faster now in the end and @home in front of his fans I’ll bet he will want to show some skills and following this line of thinking if Ferrari play its cards right they could win the championship over the Red Bull who could have already have the titles in their pockets if they knew which driver to help, but backing up Vettel 100% and almost letting Webber to drive around just so they have two drivers was a clear mistake and the name of the team might shed some light on why (Red Bull=Stubborn). Well all the best to Webber and if it won’t be him to win the title then hail Alonso.
